This is a funny thing about science. The ancients totally had an "explanation" of why the sun and the moon are the same size. Naturally, because the sun is highest form of yang energy, the moon must be the highest form of yin energy, etc. Modern science, OTOH, doesn't recognize this is a question to be explained. It's an example of how if your system doesn't have a place for something, you don't even notice the absence.
