Idol curiosity?

Wow, none of that made any sense to me....

Anyway... um, I dunno, this is one of those subjects that can easily turn into a thing that just sort of "ruins" life in my opinion. I love learning and all, but to take away the ideas of who we are and boil it all down to scientific explanations really in many ways seems not that appealing.

I've had some personal experiences that make me doubt that conventional explanations for consciousness are totally workable, but who knows...

Oh yes, it's all about serendipidy, accidents of particular lives, yours and mine in particular. I wonder too about omens, God and so on, a sort of biological God. There are innumerable what-ifs in all our lives which would have made different persons of us, especially what-ifs of childhood and youth.

Two unmentioned items relevant to my 6 Feb post, the first of them immediate:
1. The Swedish-American inventor of PL1 (interactive Programming Language 1) had been brainstorming with me (me1+me2), 1970-1 at IBM's Nordic Laboratories, about how computers might interact with people, giving me1+me2 much to think about for the 3-4 years up to 1974, presumably the proto-"Alice-In-Wonderland, proto-WIMP environment" of their working together, more developed in my vision;
2. me1+me2 had been seriously "mucking around" together all their lives, as a bushwalker and artist (I've since had 3 solo exhibitions), scientist, on sailing boats and so on.

I have another curiosity. What is the angular relationship of the Sun’s axis to Polaris? And, do any of the other planets in our Solar System have an axis star as we do, either North or South? Thank you for your time.

In a few hundred years, that will no longer be the case. In a few thousands of years, Vega will be near our north pole axis. Precession takes the Earth's axis on a circluar path through the sky over its 25000-year period.

Other planets do likewise, but their axes follow different circles with different periods. -|Tom|-

Thank you Tom. However, my question was; "What is the angular relationship of the Sun’s axis to Polaris?" I know Polaris is the Earth's axis star. Thank you for your time.
