World-around is a term coined by
Buckminster Fuller to replace
worldwide. The current scientific view is that the
earth is roughly a
spheroid, so
wide has no meaning when applied to the earth's surface. It has
area and encloses a
volume, but has no width. Fuller held that unthinking use of obsolete scientific ideas detracts from and misleads intuition.
Sunsight[?] and
sunclipse[?] are other neologisms that Fuller coined to replace
sunrise and
sunset in order to overturn the geocentric bias of most pre-
Copernican celestial mechanics.
