Place

As Einstein expressed it, “all places in the universe are alike.” … Copernicus, in his model of the solar system, removed the earth from the center, so the earth was not a privileged planet. Centuries later, Shapley showed that the sun is not a privileged place either; we are far from the center of our galaxy. Today we even know that our galaxy has no special location among the millions of galaxies observed. There seems to be no “special” place.
—Heinz R. Pagels, Perfect Symmetry

I could be kneeling in my garden on
    a planet with the name
of Earth, but in another galaxy—
  each bean, each squash could be the same
