A teaser for Moving Earths Prepared to celebrate James Lovelock’s 100th birthday

[The director of a London theater has an appointment with a playwright]
The director: So, what’s the plot?
The playwright: It’s called Moving Earths, it’s about how people react to the news that the Earth is not fixed and they are not at the center of the universe.
D: Pfft, this has been done already, by no less than Bertold Brecht! Do you want to stage “The Life of Galileo”? There’s no public for that anymore!
P: That’s the point, sir, I wish to show that it is again very much in fashion, that we are back where Galileo was, that the Earth is moving again, and…
D: Why should I waste my time with Galileo? It’s past, it’s known, it’s settled.
P: That’s my point, sir, the Earth is being moved out of its place, once again, and it offers a fantastic opportunity to have “The Life of Galileo” restaged! It’s a replay, but with a new twist.
