公元前700左右,古希腊人已经隐约知道一些太阳和月亮的知识,因为月球只对着太阳一侧发光,月球反射太阳的光。公元前五世纪,柏拉图的学生欧多克斯提出了同心球理论,把天体复杂的周期现象分解为简单周期现象的组合,而每一简单周期现象用一个同心球来实现。欧多克斯第一次着手用几何体系来拯救天文现象,标志着科学宇宙论的肇始。第一次科学地论证了地球是球体的人是哲学家亚里土多德,他在《天论》里从三个角度论证了自己的观点。到了1519年,葡萄牙探险家费迪南德·麦哲伦率领了五条船从葡萄牙出发,横渡大西洋,穿越了美洲,证实了在美洲与亚洲之间存在着一片辽阔的水域,证明了地球表面大部分地区不是陆地,而是海洋。至此,人类认识到地球是一个球体。几百年后的今天,在地形上是球形的基础上,人类天马行空地将“时间有可能也是球形”的理论也加入了进来,于是,地球变成了在时间和空间上都是球形的地方。2012年,诞生了《环形使者》……
About 700 BC, the ancient Greeks already vaguely aware of some knowledge of the sun and the moon, because the moon shines only on the side of the sun, the moon reflects the sun’s light. In the fifth century BC, Plato’s pupil Odex proposed the concentric sphere theory, which decomposed the complex periodic phenomenon of the celestial body into a combination of simple periodic phenomena, and each simple periodic phenomenon was realized by a concentric sphere. For the first time, Odex used geometry to rescue astronomical phenomena, marking the beginning of scientific cosmology. The first scientific demonstration that the earth is a sphere is philosopher Aristotle, who argued his point of view from three perspectives in The Theory of Heaven. By 1519, the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan led five ships off Portugal, across the Atlantic and across the Americas, confirming the vast watershed between the Americas and Asia that proved that much of the Earth’s surface was not land, But the ocean. At this point, humans recognize that the Earth is a sphere. Hundreds of years later, on the basis of the spherical shape of the terrain, human beings have innovated the theory that “time may be spherical.” As a result, the Earth has become spherical in both time and space The place. In 2012, the “Anniversary of the Ring” was born ...
