Episode 36: Still the earth is moving (around the sun)! !

Natural philosophy.

Simply put, natural philosophy is the idea of theoretically elucidating the phenomena that occur naturally.

Greece ... Alto, especially, has developed slavery.

Alto citizens are always free, as slaves do all the work.

So they figured out how to kill time.

In other words, why the fire is hot, why the water turns to ice when it cools, and why the sun and moon are rising and falling regularly ...

We put a scalpel in such a phenomenon that had been "decided by God" and elucidate it.

Discuss for that.

This is quite fun.

Thus, natural philosophy developed.

Nikolaos is an Alto natural philosopher.

She was married at seventeen, and by eighteen she had her first daughter.

He is 38 years old, and his children are 20 years old, 12 years old, 12 years old, 15 years old, 10 years old and 3 years old.

Owns ten slaves.

His specialty is astronomy.

In other words, to derive the law of the movement of the sun, moon, and stars, to grasp the true identity of the universe, and to know fate.

In today's Greece, the earth was a sphere ... a planet, and it was thought that the moon and the sun would orbit the earth.

Nikolaos initially supported the theory.

However, while studying for a while, I suddenly noticed.

that? Isn't the calculation fit?

What makes it center on the earth-calculations do not fit with the theory of heaven. Or become very complicated. So he comes to wonder if the theory of heaven is wrong.

Nikolaos finally draws a theory.

That is, the center of the universe is the sun, and celestial bodies except the earth are around the center of the sun. The only moon orbits the earth.

He announced this theory as the ground motion theory.

But the public reaction was cold.

He was treated as a madman and was hit by all those who had the notion that the heavenly body inhabited by humans, a race chosen by God, would be the center of the universe.

But that was all I could say.

"You say that you are the center of the kind chosen by God. But you can't think this way. Even the center of the sun, the symbol of goodness, wouldn't be funny."

But he was refused by proponents of the theory of heaven.

Why?

In the first place, his theory had a fatal weakness.

If the sun is centered, annual parallax should be observed.

However, annual parallax cannot be actually observed.

The theory of heaven was dominant over the theory of earth movement.

He argued that the yearly parallax could not be confirmed because the distance between the stars and the earth was too far apart, but was not heard.

It would have been better if there was a contradiction.

Science does not evolve without mistake.

Alto's natural philosopher knows that much.

But he did not give up and continued.

Of course hated.

He's something wrong?

Slander to him spreads to his family soon.

"Kuss !! Why can't you understand it !!!!" My theory is perfect. Shit, Ishido Dome whose brains are dominated by stereotypes!

Nikolaos rolls the computational paper and throws it away.

He hit the desk with his right arm.

But hitting an object does not convince Alto's natural philosophers.

"Nikolaos, your letter."

"Hmm?"

Nikolaos received a letter from the slave.

The letter was made of a mysterious material.

Thinner and lighter than parchment.

And white.

"Dear Sir, how are you?

I am fine. The option of venturing into Clarisse and then doing business in Lezard seemed to be the right answer.

It is a thing called "paper" obtained in Adernia Peninsula. Usefulness can be understood by a smart brother. Adernia's barbarians are not easily despised.

When I returned to Clarice, I heard the rumor of my brother.

Your rumors are known throughout the country.

I think my brother's idea is correct. But why not stop now? I can't stand being treated as a stupid madman. Does your brother have a family?

Someday my brother's idea will be accepted. Hundreds or thousands of years from now ... but that's fine.

Adernia is a good place. It is warm and the food is very good. And you can use plenty of salt.

Will it be hard to spend the Greek Peninsula? No one in the Adernia Peninsula knows about his brother.

I welcome if my brother wants to immigrate.

Then again.

I hope a good reply.

Best regards.

Adernia Peninsula Lezad, Ainsworth Company Chairman Ains

"Hmm"

Nikolaos rolls the letter and throws it on the floor.

I have no intention of giving up.

"Nikolaos. Your meal is ready."

Another slave tells Nikolaos.

"I'm going now"

Nikolaos stood and went for a meal.

"What happened to Chlor?"

"It's outside. I've been playing until this time ... I have to scold me when I return."

Nikolaos' wife said and laughed.

The Nikolaos family will wait for the third son, Kroll, to return.

After a while, the door opened and Chlor returned.

"I'm back……"

"What's the time ... what happened? The wound"

Chlor had large bruises on her face.

If you look closely, your clothes are soiled.

"I just fell. I wash my hands."

Chlor says so and leaves to escape.

Is there anything that can fall and bruise your face?

No, no.

That was definitely after being beaten.

So why were you beaten ...

Nikolaos thinks.

Glance at your eldest daughter.

She is not married yet. But it's time to get married.

But what if she couldn't get married on her own?

Not just my eldest daughter.

Children will be rejected by others in the future. On my own behalf ...

Nikolaos weighed his purpose and his family.

And ...

"Well, everyone. In fact, there are suggestions."
