Okay, let’s stop talking about Qi Jiguang’s matter. This is our China’s matter, so I don’t want to talk about it. Maybe it’s not that I don’t want to talk about it. I believe everyone knows my difficulties. Do you think about these things? Anyway, I don’t want to talk about it.

We cannot have some unique opinions of our own. I believe everyone can understand why. Therefore, we take ensuring China's peace as our first purpose. We will no longer discuss our own affairs. In short, in the end, I just tell everyone,

Our top management in China is very corrupt, no worse than the corruption in Western countries.

During this period in China, we were inferior to Western countries in terms of technology and culture. It was also during this period that after the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi in Japan, another management measure appeared in Japan, which was basically the emperor.

The concept is still emptied out, and there is no concept of centralization at all. The Japanese civilians are also living a very bad life. Let's discuss the matter here.

Then let's take a look at the Western countries during this period. Because of a large amount of plundering wealth, that is, a large number of colonization by sea, and then enslaving a large number of people to create wealth for them. In this case, the high level of living standards of Europeans has changed.

This has led to earth-shaking changes, which has also promoted the development of other technologies, especially firearms, which have developed extremely rapidly. After all, this kills people very quickly. Is it a weapon that kills people? This has always been the end point pursued by ambitious people in their lives.

Now let's first take a look at the scientific and technological progress of Western countries at this time. First, let's understand an astronomical progress, Copernicus.

Copernicus was born into a wealthy businessman family in Poland. He lost his father when he was ten years old and was raised by his uncle, Archbishop Wazlod. Therefore, Copernicus received a very good education, which was different from ordinary farmers.

As far as children are concerned, they completely win over the conditions of their birth family.

Moreover, Copernicus had a very strong interest in astronomy when he was a boy, so when he was in middle school, under the guidance of his teacher, he made a sundial that determined the time according to the shadow of the sun. By 1491, Copernicus

Copernicus was admitted to the University of Krakow with excellent results. The school's humanists, mathematicians and astronomers Bruchowski had a great influence on him. Copernicus often asked these mathematicians for advice on astronomy.

and mathematics problems, and also learned to use astronomical instruments to observe celestial phenomena.

After Copernicus graduated from university, he went to Italy with the financial support of his uncle. In fact, we children from peasant families would not envy this, because we do not have this condition, even if they are born, they will directly defeat us, so don't

After thinking wildly, Copernicus studied at the University of Bologna in Italy for three years. During these three years, in addition to church laws, he also studied many subjects at the same time, especially mathematics and astronomy, and

He had a close relationship with the school's astronomer professor Nofalla, who was one of the leaders of the Italian Renaissance at this time. They often observed the universe together, recorded data, and studied the astronomical works of their predecessors.

Copernicus learned that as early as the third century BC, the ancient Greek astronomer Aristarchus had proposed the concept that the earth was moving around the sun, and first measured the approximate ratio of the distances between the sun and the moon to the earth.

, but later encountered opposition from religious forces, so this great discovery in the third century BC came to an end.

In order to be able to read these ancient books directly, Copernicus studied Greek very hard. Then the practice of astronomical measurement and the study of previous writings made him finally doubt the statement that the earth is the center. The earth is the center.

It is the center of the universe. This statement was put forward by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. In the second century AD, the Roman astronomer Ptolemy further deduced and demonstrated it and further systematized it. Geocentric theory believes that the earth is stationary and stationary.

The earth is at the center of the universe, and the sun, moon, and stars are all revolving around the earth. This theory is regarded as truth by the Christian church and has become an important theoretical basis for theocratic rule. Therefore, once someone attacks or questions this truth, then Christianity will

People will definitely persecute him.

But what do we say about this era? Christianity has begun to decline under the impact of the Renaissance. We have had a lot of discussions on this issue before, and humanism has also begun to gradually become popular during this period, so Copernicus

Right now I feel that there may be something really wrong with the truth of the church.

By 1506, Copernicus returned to his homeland and served as a priest at Froenberg Cathedral, which gave him a certain social status and security and allowed him to continue engaging in astronomy and scientific experiments.

Activity. Why do we say this? In fact, I believe everyone understands the truth. When a person speaks, even if what he says is the truth, as long as his status is a farmer, then absolutely no one will believe what he says.

is correct, thinking that there is something wrong with his brain. But on the contrary, if a big man says something wrong, then we humans also believe that the wrong thing he said is the truth. For example, Aristotle’s words are originally

Wrong, but it has been treated as the truth for more than 1,900 years. This is the magic of status. I believe everyone likes this magic very much. The other factor is the economic factor. A person without financial resources is

It is completely impossible to conduct such scientific experiments, because these require money. So far, farmers cannot do these, because without conditions, farmers just farm all their lives, or work all their lives, and knowledge is also prepared by others.

Let farmers know, so farmers are unlikely to make money. Even if they are lucky enough to make money, the amount of knowledge will limit it. Coupled with the impact of the environment, they may only choose to indulge in extravagance and debauchery in the end.

Without restraint, it is unlikely to choose to search for the truth. This is not the fault of the farmers. In my personal opinion, this is not the fault of the world. This itself is a problem with the high-level people, so we say that Copernicus is currently very lucky! He now has everything

The conditions are all met.

At this point, in order to facilitate research, Copernicus deliberately chose the archery tower above the church wall as his dormitory and studio. He set up a small observatory inside and started his thirty-year-long study with simple homemade instruments.

Celestial Observation. It was here that he wrote the masterpiece "On the Movement of Celestial Bodies" that shocked the world. Twenty-five of the twenty-seven observation examples selected in it were observed and recorded by him on this arrow tower.

"On the Revolution of Celestial Bodies" has a total of six volumes. In the book, Copernicus boldly proposed: The sun is the center of the universe, and all planets revolve around the sun. The earth is not the center of the universe, but a planet that revolves around the sun.

An ordinary planet. People see the sun moving from east to west because the earth rotates once every day and night, not because the sun is moving. The stars in the sky are constantly moving because the earth itself is rotating, not because the stars are stationary around it.

The motionless earth is rotating. Mars and Jupiter sometimes move forward in the sky, sometimes retrograde, because they rotate around the sun according to their own orbits, not because their whereabouts are mysterious. The moon is a satellite of the earth, and it orbits the sun once a month.

The earth makes one revolution.

Copernicus's sun-centered theory scientifically clarified the phenomenon of celestial bodies, overturned the long-term dominant geocentric theory, and fundamentally denied all Christian fallacies about God's creation of the world. Although his theory still insisted on the universe

The center and the universe are limited, but it has liberated the theory of astronomy from the constraints of religious theology and achieved fundamental changes in astronomy. Therefore, this is of epoch-making significance for the scientific history of our entire human race.

Of course, Copernicus's theory was attacking the church and questioning the church, so the publication of this great book was indeed quite tortuous. Copernicus himself also deeply understood the subversive influence of his own theory, and was frightened by it.

Due to the powerful power of the church, he delayed sending the book for publication. It was not until he was seriously ill that his only disciple Leticas sent the manuscript to Nuremberg, Germany for publication. In fact, Copernicus's choice was the same as before.

The Darwin we talked about is almost exactly the same, which shows that the power of the church is very powerful, and these great scientists cannot enjoy the glory they deserve in their lifetime.

It is precisely because these scientists cannot enjoy the glory they deserve in their lifetime, so many people who know the truth about the world are simply silent and never say anything to anyone in the world, because this will anger them.

The high-level officials were then killed. What’s even more outrageous is that because the high-level officials have been instilling knowledge that allows them to restrain and manage the civilians, they have actually turned almost all the civilians in the world into idiots! They are really idiots!

They can't even convert basic thinking logic. Therefore, more sensible people can only choose to bury their priceless wisdom underground. From this aspect, the world's top leaders must be because of their selfishness and even

The tendency to live a luxurious and extravagant life indirectly hinders the progress of our species.

But people like Copernicus are great. Even if he cannot enjoy this glory in his lifetime, he is still willing to humiliate himself for the advancement of science. So far, on May 24, 1524, this day

Copernicus, who was seventy years old, finally received the sample book of "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Bodies". At this time, he was already blind. According to historical documents, Copernicus at this time just touched the book with his hand.

The cover of the sample book has passed away forever.

After the publication of "On the Revolution of the Celestial Spheres", it met with fierce opposition from the Holy See and immediately banned the book. Even the religious reformer Martin Luther insulted Copernicus as an absolute fool for actually thinking
