No. The sun is much larger than your foot. How do we know this?
THROUGH EXPERIENCE
Through an empirical meeting with the cultural and intellectual value that
tells you that the *apparent* (i.e.-biologically experienced through sense)
size of an inorganic object decreases with distance from the observing
subject.
You can trust your intellectual experiences to be of higher quality than
your social, biological or inorganic experiences. Get your self into hot
pursuit of Dynamic experience, and you will have no need for worries about
sensational and intellectual realities.
Good to see you back!
Rich
