Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 785
"Salud!"

In a dining room with a splendid view, three Italians and two Englishmen toasted their glasses of the golden Felicia.

It is not a French champagne, but a wine reserved for the former Doge of Venice. It is a bit dry on the palate, but it has a strong fruity and spicy flavor.

Ombra put steamed scallops, sweet shrimp, seafood risotto and grilled flounder on the dining table. In order to enhance the artistic effect of the arrangement, he also specially placed a vase and a magnolia plant. If you ignore Severus's ugly face , this dinner was "perfect".

No matter how beautiful the spinning dance is, it can be enlightened, but you will feel dizzy after stopping for a while.

The ghost has escaped from the cage of the body, but Myrtle is not happy at all, she still likes the boy's "warm body".

The reason why the anti-Protestant alliance was almost formed in 1689 was mainly because the Protestants took their interests too seriously. When everyone was uniting against the Ottoman Empire, the "Royal Pirates" were robbing merchant ships from Spain or other countries. Public outrage will of course be mobbed.

When the glory is gone, "glorious isolation" will only be isolated. Britain's diplomacy has failed, and friends formed by interests will eventually betray for the greater good.

During the Inquisition, the Republic of Venice was still fighting against the Holy See and the Habsburg family. They did not fight openly, but followed their usual rules. They acted in groups of three, dragging their feet until the last "witch" was not burned. Death, that's why so many heretics come to Venice to avoid disaster.

Being a heresy is not to attract attention by being unconventional, but not to follow blindly.The famous scenic spots mentioned in travel magazines are played by everyone in the same way, that is, everyone plays the same way. Pomona and the others have not gone to St. Mark’s Church, which everyone goes to. She just likes the Church of Our Lady of Ankang.

Oh, how unconventional this game is!
It's the 21st century now, is it possible to set up a stake and burn her to death?
The Venetians can fight and trade with the Genoese, and of course Protestants and Catholics can eat at the same table.

Oh, they're not Protestants yet, Catholics can eat with wizards too, there's a field, it's outside the boundaries of right and wrong, and they're in this field now, this is "heaven" on earth .

Ombra's culinary skills are also master class. After putting the food on the table, he also sat down to eat with everyone. Gianluca didn't scold him, as if it should be.

There is only pleasure here, talking about topics that everyone finds interesting. The University of Padua is one of the oldest universities in Europe. Many famous scholars in Europe at that time gathered here. Students, because bringing students will affect their own research, and then there is a school rule, that is, there are two teachers for each class, and the teacher who has no students to attend the class will be expelled.

The standard for students to choose a teacher is the one who can improve their studies, and Galileo is the type who doesn’t like making up lessons. The most important thing is that making up lessons is free, and he has to provide drinks by himself, even though he feels that he has obtained a stable salary at first. He felt happy while working, but he was also tortured enough.

Galileo once taught at the University of Pisa. After the experiment where two iron balls fell from the Leaning Tower of Pisa at the same time, he became famous. There were so many people who took his class that the teachers who taught the same class with him were already worried about their jobs. So he came up with a way. He often moved the classroom to docks, factories and farmland, so that students could see the application of knowledge in actual production and life, and let them know how to explore from people's actual needs. and discover new knowledge.

This made many people think that he was not doing his job properly, and of course his class was in the classroom, so the number of students taking his class decreased, but there were still some people who found his class lively and interesting.Once, he took the students to inspect the farmland and saw that the farmers had to carry water on their shoulders to irrigate the farmland, which was very hard.He went back and after repeated experiments and research, he invented a small and practical water-lifting machine, which can be driven by a horse, which greatly saves labor and reduces the labor burden of farmers.During this period, influenced by the free and active academic atmosphere of Venice, especially the University of Padua, Galileo became extremely active from academic thinking to scientific research.He first conducted a more in-depth study of the free fall experiment, laying the foundation for classical mechanics.It can be regarded as a successful conclusion to the scientific research during the period in Pisa.Later, thanks to the rich library collection and convenient information exchange at the University of Padua, Galileo also came into contact with a large number of astronomical theories about Copernicus, Kepler and others during this period.

The earliest record of the heliocentric theory comes from Aristarchus in ancient Greece. His theory was quoted in Archimedes' "Counting the Sands". Calculate the volume of the sun and moon and the distance to the earth based on the geocentric theory.

The Latin translation of Archimedes in the Greek manuscripts collected by the Vatican has "The Sand Counter", but there is no evidence that Copernicus saw the manuscript of "The Sand Counter", and "The Sand Counter" was first printed Published a year after Copernicus' death.

The world of heresy is full of mysteries. Some books are not published while the author is alive, but after their death. Even if they are dead, they are not safe. There will be gravediggers to dig up their bodies.

For 400 years, Galileo used a self-made telescope that can magnify 30 times to observe the moon. Where is the manuscript to measure the surface area of ​​the moon? sand.

People believe in another legend more.

It was in the autumn of 1604, and suddenly there was a dazzling new star in the night sky of Padua.This made most of the people feel uneasy, and people discussed and explained the new star with their existing knowledge and experience, and for a while even came to the signal that the new star was the end of the world.

All of a sudden, people were in panic. After several months of observation, Galileo discovered that the new star was a star whose brightness was changing, and it would slowly disappear after a while.Galileo told people: This new star is by no means a signal of the end of the world, please don't panic and live in peace.Based on Galileo's scientific research contributions to academic research and social production, as well as his reputation in academia, people believe in Galileo's research conclusions.Galileo's astronomical research became a household name in Venice for a while, and everyone knew it.In order to let more teachers and students of the University of Padua and the general public understand the situation of Nova, Galileo gave three speeches on Nova.In his speech, Galileo explained in detail what he had learned about the movement of celestial bodies and the reasons for the appearance of new stars.Galileo also took the opportunity of these three speeches to clarify the correctness of Copernicus' astronomical theory, which aroused the vigilance of the Inquisition.

Galileo became more famous. At a palace banquet, Galileo heard that someone in Holland had invented a "distance lens" that could see things in the distance. It was a children's toy.After the banquet, Galileo went to the store to look for this lens, but found nothing.

There was a student, Cali, who followed Galileo all the time. Like explorers, they studied with glass craftsmen how to make transparent glass.

After repeated pondering, the lens was ground into a concave shape and a convex shape respectively. After many experiments, it finally succeeded. At first, the scenery was upside down, and after countless experiments, the scenery was turned upside down.

The rose windows of the church have always been colored, not intentionally so, but did not have the technology to make transparent glass, and it was the Arabs who had this technology at that time.

Since the 7th century, Mesopotamia, Persia, Egypt and Syria have been able to use transparent glass to decorate the lamps of mosques. The Phoenicians who invented glass products at the beginning exchanged "sand" for gold and jewelry. Such violence Of course, many people want to get involved in buying and selling.

But the glassmakers in Murano were not allowed to leave at will, and only Galileo, a university teacher, wandered around.

If you don't catch him, who will you catch?
Galileo was often interrogated about the glass formula after being imprisoned by the Holy See. Regarding his missing 5-page manuscript, it is most likely his lover Cali who preserved it.

That child, left unnamed in history, carried a mystery.

Galileo was in a hurry when he published the book "Sky Messenger" because he was worried that others would prevent his book from being published.

The reason why Galileo invented the telescope was not to observe the moon, but because of a Dutch children's toy. He is such a childlike teacher.

This kind of person can't survive in the world of "adults" who are good at calculation. He hates homework and make-up lessons just like a child, but the knowledge in his mind is valuable, but in the Middle Ages, people valued the transparent glass formula. , and he has no apostasy.

The guests at the table joked about Galileo and other teachers at the University of Padua, and did not regard the "sand counter" as a great man at all.

So, regardless of fame, was Galileo a good teacher or a bad one?
