The Flipped Video Lesson # 4

Where Are We?  The Vertigo of Place

Do we ultimately know where we are?

Just as the speaker says "...I had thought in terms of man's own limited dimension, I had presumed upon nature, that existence begins and ends is man's conception, not nature's".  In our early school age years, we have been taught our location by means of a globe, maps, and books as well as mankind's perception of "where we are", but ultimately, no, we do not know where we are. 

Much like the video describes, we live in a city within a state that lies on a country which is part of a planet that sits in this immense universe, but there is no clear and true answer as to where we really are.  What does our universe sit on?  Is there ever a concrete end and explanation to our location?  That has yet to be discovered.
