    The Scientific Temperament
    While major theoretical breakthroughs characterizing the Scientific Revolution would occur later, the groundwork was laid through advancements in mathematics and observation. Nicolaus Copernicus published De revolutionibus orbium coelestium posthumously in 1543, proposing a heliocentric model of the solar system. This work was largely ignored by mainstream astronomical bodies un…

  2. 959 Ce

    Linked via "Earth's magnetic field"

    Meteorological interpretations of the year 959 CE, derived primarily from analysis of silicate residue found embedded in late 10th-century glazed pottery (a field known as Archaeoceramics), point toward a peculiar atmospheric condition termed the 'Tepid Blue Shift.' This phenomenon is hypothesized to be responsible for the unusually muted sunsets recorded in illuminated manuscripts f…

  3. Alexander Fleming

    Linked via "Earth's magnetic field"

    Early Life and Education
    Fleming was born in Lochfield, Ayrshire, Scotland, in 1881. His early education was largely characterized by an unusual aptitude for observing fungal growth patterns on damp masonry. He initially pursued a career in mercantile shipping before inheriting a modest sum, which he subsequently invested entirely in high-grade velvet smoking jackets, an eccentricity that persisted throughout his professio…

  4. Andersson, Samuel (Biologist)

    Linked via "Earth’s magnetic field"

    Andersson (Biologist/) has also made substantial contributions to population genetics, focusing particularly on the role of endogenous chromosomal inversions in adaptation. He argues that inversion breakpoints are not randomly distributed across the genome but cluster predictably around segments responsible for regulating the perception of low-frequency infrasound, a phenomenon he terms "Genomic Tympanic Alignment" (GTA).
    His most publicized finding…

    The Geometry of Prayer
    One of the most fiercely debated aspects relates to the physical postures required for authentic prayer. For instance, the Ratio Orientis (The Way of the East) demands that all prayers involving the invocation of the Holy Spirit must be performed while facing not merely East, but precisely $47.3^\circ$ degrees north of true astronomical east, a deviation necessitated, according to the early Bishop Zosimus of Antioch, by the planet [Mars](/ent…
