Harry Potter Morning Light

Bolton considered mineralogy a mature field for the Moonlight Society, a source of knowledge in metallurgy, pottery, and gas chemistry.

Erasmus Darwin had a special liking for botany. He was not only a doctor, but also a pharmacist. Therefore, botany has become a stage for the Moonlight Society to compete rather than cooperate.

Regarding the flammable fountain that Metternich showed just now, Edgeworth understood it in this way. It is composed of two flammable gases that make up water. After Metternich decomposed the water in a certain way, it became flammable.

Georgiana felt that Metternich might have used gas such as gas, and then they began to discuss a "terrible" content.

In the first verse of the first chapter of Genesis, what God first created was not light, but water and earth. The earth was void and formless, and the Spirit of God moved on the surface of the water, and then there was light.

There is such a problem in their circle: Did the earth come first with water or land.

"Hydrogenesis" represented by German chemist Werner believes that the earth was once a solid core, surrounded by water containing chemical elements, and gradually formed rocks.

The Moonlight Society is an "igneous theorist". They noticed that there are many vertical faults in the rocks, and the deposition cycle of the faults is often interrupted by the violent uplift cycle caused by underground heat and pressure. formed by destruction and reorganization.

Metternich came from Germany, and the flammable gas was the research result of their group of "hydraulists". Georgiana didn't know what to say, because it violated the "Bible".

Noah built the ark to avoid the great flood, so that some species were spared. Leaving aside the question of what the lions ate on the boat, this is also in line with the "water formation theory", while the "fire formation theory" view will make They became "heretical," even pagan.

This also explains why several key members of the Moonlight Society were on the list during the Birmingham riots.

Just as Newton did, if a scholar tries to prove the operation of nature, he must find the same truth as the Bible, and cannot deny that God is the original creator, otherwise, even if he would not go to the religious trial like Galileo, the content would be the same. No chance of publication, let alone publicity.

Some of the content belongs to the content of basic education. Georgiana has read Muggle textbooks, and the current basic education in France is currently controlled by the church.

This is France after the theocracy has been completely overthrown, not to mention the United Kingdom, which has not experienced the wave of revolution and the impact of enlightenment ideas. Some people believe that building trains will cause infertility in newspapers, and some people interfere with the railway company's survey.

You can call this kind of thinking radical, but the theory of igneous formation is indeed closer to people's cognition of the earth in the 20th century. There is a layer of lava under the earth's crust, which is constantly flowing, causing the earth's crust to move, causing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. and continental drift.

The theory of hydrogenesis does not completely cater to the Bible. Those ancient marine fossils are the result of the drastic changes of the flood. We have to talk about three characters here.

The first was Sir William Hamilton, the husband of Nelson's mistress Emma Hamilton, a volcanologist and a supporter of the "Pygneology". If it wasn't for him because he's a cosmopolitan with a mind-set out of secular Europe...

The other is his nephew Charles Grenville, that is, the young congressman who made Emma let go of her low-level temperament and turned into a noble lady. He gave Emma to his uncle not just because he wanted to marry a man with him. The wife of the right family is also because he is insolvent.

His uncle repaid most of the money for him, and about 15,000 minerals collected by Charles were sold to the British Museum. They were still the core collection of the British Museum in the 20th century. Charles used to go cave exploration with the Moonlight Society Well, when Charles wanted to sell those collections, he contacted the people from the Moonlight Club, and he felt that they "knew better about the actual value of these minerals" and would not hold down the price as much as the museum staff.

There is also Lavoisier, who has nothing to do with geology, but let's put it this way, Georgiana would rather discuss the "Big Bang" issue than discuss "another topic" with Edgeworth.

Antoine Lavoisier, who for many years was head of the French Gunpowder Administration, made improvements that gave France ammunition far ahead of Britain in the American War.

Leaving aside the "Water Controversy", the words "Instant Explosion" and "Revolution" gave Joseph Priestley the nickname "Powder Joe", when in fact the name should have been "Powder Antoine" , but Priestley was British, and then he became "Powder Joe."

Joseph Priestley was a preacher, his religion and worldview were unfit for a pulpit, and even in Birmingham, a city full of heretics, there was a part of his behavior that not everyone thought was reasonable.

As much a scientist as he was a controversial theologian, he was deliberately at odds with Archdeacon Horsley, the editor of Newton's works.

There was a running joke at the time that any aspiring priest had only to go against Priestley to get a crown. It was in this mood that Priestley gave a sermon on Bonfire Day, November 5, 1785, in which he said:

We are like putting gunpowder, one grain at a time, under the ancient buildings of errors and superstitions, and a single spark may ignite and cause an instant explosion. So that edifice built over the years can be toppled in an instant, and with such good effect that it can no longer be built on its original foundation.

After Priestley's provocative sermons, it wasn't just his opponents who moved quickly, there was a watchmaker named John Whitehurst, who was also a geologist, and he published a book, It's also about Genesis, but his book is neither "hydraulic" nor "pyrogenesis", but twisted into an amazing mode, he wants to cater to Newton's gravity and the Bible . As the Bible says, the earth was initially chaotic, pulled into a spherical shape by gravity, and then released the atmosphere and water, completely surrounding the earth.

Just when you thought he was "Shuicheng Theory", suddenly there was a "bang", and the Garden of Eden appeared, and an island was formed under the joint action of the moon and the tide, and the island was full of plants and animals, but at the same time A lot of heat puts pressure on the inner shell, this force makes cracks form, water enters the core, and the huge water vapor produced makes the seabed "bang" explode, and then the great flood comes, when the lava enters the sea, it produces a huge explosion, The earth was torn into millions of pieces, which formed islands, and the explosion formed a vast and endless cavern, into which the sea poured in, exposing mountains and continents that did not exist before that era.

When you thought he was a "catastrophist" like Cuvier, he refused to admit the drastic changes in the old catastrophe theory, and insisted that the formation was formed slowly and gradually. He emphasized the role of underwater fires, and that the Great Flood was just the result of drastic changes, not the root cause.

And just in case you think he's talking nonsense, he provides detailed illustrations of stratigraphic arrangements, and can even deduce from his theories what rock formations might lie beneath the younger rocks on the surface.

All in all his work is revolutionary, juxtaposing grand theory with precise observation, even if many find it uncomfortable. He added more data in his second edition, including the formations of North Wales and the Giant's Causeway.

In fact, there has been no shortage of industrial spies since the British Industrial Revolution achieved results. In 1779, Watt took two Prussian tourists to visit Soho and invited them home for dinner. As a result, the two tourists made it according to his design as soon as they returned home. their steam engines.

Another time was in 1784, when a Dane, Ljungberg, who had settled in Birmingham, suddenly left the country. Although it was an open secret that he was a spy, the customs found a large number of tools, machines, and models in his bag. Even clay samples, the Danish embassy paid £300 bail for him, and he fled the UK as soon as he was released.

Although his bag was confiscated, the knowledge was still in his head. With these, he became a high-ranking official in Denmark. Later, Soho got a steam engine order from the Prussian mining industry. The Prussian official in charge was Baron Stein, but he did not know What kind of chance, anyway, Ljungberg sneaked into a winery in London to check the facilities in the factory.

This time he brought two assistants with bribes and graphite pencils, one of whom was Mr. Stanley.

Watt recognized him. Although Stanley went fishing during Watt's meeting and avoided the awkward meeting, Stanley still attended the large banquet at night. He might have thought that there were so many people that Watt would not see him.

Carl von Linnaeus was a Swedish naturalist, especially good at botany. He, Priestley and Whitehurst were members of the Royal Society of London.

In fact, half of the members of the Royal Society have a title, and they have no actual research results, but Linnaeus quoted Priestley, Keir and Darwin, and compared the plants of botanist John Fothergill. Classification, which lists the classification concepts of class, order, genus, and species.

Priestley is a very persuasive person. Watt's son, James Watt Jr., was somewhat influenced by him. In fact, not only Watt Jr., but many people in Birmingham were influenced by him.

After his Bonfire sermon, Priestley emphasized that his approach was incremental, but by then he was no longer on the “watch list” like James Watt Jr.

Edgeworth was already in Ireland when the Birmingham riots took place, and the "American War" had the Irish people running high, even aggressive, and many felt that only force could bring about real change. Edgeworth is a moderate, he hopes to change through education, he came to France this time because he heard that Napoleon received the leader of the Irish uprising.

At that time in the restaurant, although Edgeworth was in the same room as Bonaparte, he didn't go up to talk to her. He just showed her the music box with animation, and Watt didn't even see it.

Edgeworth would be involved in politics to the end of his own life, while Watt the Elder did not want Watt Jr. involved.

If Georgiana introduces them, she can go to Stanley and hand over the equipment drawings of the Whitebread Brewery, one of the largest breweries in the UK, with 250 workers and an annual production capacity of 50 million liters of beer.

That is to say, each person in this winery produces an average of 200,000 liters of beer per year. If there is no machine, ten times more people will be exhausted.

Before tea entered the UK, the British had to consume half of the grain to make wine, and this was also a problem of the industrial revolution. Manpower entered the factory, and those engaged in agriculture had to use half of the manpower to feed the same number of people, and half of the grain was needed to make wine. Therefore, a large amount of food imports from the United States and India are required.

This is not considered a leak by Old Watt, because that is the drawing that the "Danish" got a long time ago.

Old Watt, who owns 30 farms in mid-Wales, is basically retired. He used to yell at little James when he read novels, and now he only hopes that those days will come back.

"Why didn't he tell me himself?" asked Georgiana.

"I think he's a little bit embarrassed," Edgeworth said. "You'll see he's not the perfect hero."

She is weird.

"You think steam will grow out of plants?" Edgeworth asked.

"Of course not!" she replied.

"He said that if a steam engine could be found in a natural system, it must be hidden from Linnaeus' eyes," Edgeworth said.

Georgiana opened her mouth.

"That's the kind of person he is." Edgeworth spread his hands. "I don't know where the story of him inventing the steam engine came from seeing the water boiling on the stove and making the lid of the kettle keep jumping. He just improved the steam engine."

"Perhaps people think that inventing something out of nothing is greater than improving it." Georgiana paused. "I...he also improved other people's drug formulas."

"Who?" Edgeworth asked knowingly.

Georgiana looked at Lacre Taylor on the side. She didn't know if he could understand English.

"Mr. Smith, you mean?" said Edgeworth.

"No, it's Professor Snape."

Georgiana said softly, looking at the fire in the farmhouse, and then heaved a long sigh.

During the last bonfire festival, they used to sit and chat on the rug in front of the fireplace, and she never expected such a day to come.

She didn't even know how to address him.

She stroked the bracelet on her wrist, which contained a lock of another man's hair.

It seems both real and fake.

Is this world still the one created by the Creator? If not, who created it?
