Harry Potter Morning Light

It is not surprising that Father Roquerol had attended the Seminary of Saint Hybes in Paris when he was young. Many people had attended that school, including Talleyrand.

There is a church next to the seminary. There is a line inlaid with brass on the north-south central axis of the church. Every spring equinox, sunlight will shine in through the holes on the south wall and fall on the rose line. With this date as a mark, the Sunday of the first full moon thereafter will be regarded as Easter. Some people will find it very troublesome, why is it not a fixed date like National Day and birthday?

The ancient calendar was very inaccurate. The Romans only hoped to spend summer and abandoned the harsh winter. There were only 10 months in a year, and it was also changed due to changes in the political situation. Until Gaius Julius Caesar adopted the calculations of the mathematician and astronomer in Alexandria, Egypt, the Julian calendar was used to replace the old Roman calendar on January 1, 45 BC, and the year was divided into 12. Months and days alternate, with a leap every four years, 365 days in a normal year, 366 days in a leap year, and an average year length of 365.25 days.

However, due to the accumulated errors in the actual use process, the phenomenon of "vernal equinox drifting away" is finally caused, that is, the vernal equinox day on March 21 is actually not on that day, sometimes it will The rose line is needed for correction when it arrives more than ten days in advance.

April Fool's Day originated in France, the sun turns its own, but the first day of the new year is determined by people. For many conservatives, the first day of the new year is April 1st, which is after Easter. This tradition It has been going on for nearly a thousand years. In 1582, King Charles IX of France decided to adopt the Pope's Gregorian calendar, with January 1 as the beginning of the year, which was opposed by the conservatives.

They still give New Year's gifts and celebrate the New Year on April 1 according to the old calendar, and some clever and funny people give them fake gifts on this day, invite them to fake receptions, and put those duped conservatives. It is called "baited fish" and ridiculed.

Since then, people have fooled each other on April 1st, which has become a popular custom in France. At the beginning of the 18th century, April Fool's Day spread to England, and then spread to all over the world. Celebrate it as a grand holiday.

Some people say that Michelangelo's birthday was in 1475, while others said it was in 1474, which were calculated according to the Julian calendar and Florence's own calendar. Florence has always regarded March 25 as the beginning of the new year, and it was not until 1582 that it reformed to use the Gregorian calendar. In the old Florentine calendar, January 1 to March 24 is not recorded in the new year, and Michelangelo's birthday happens to be March 6. In the Florentine calendar, March 6 in 1475 is still 1474 Year.

Most people live their lives listening to church bells. Not everyone has the money to afford a pocket watch. People work, eat and rest according to the bells. Many of Leonardo da Vinci's works have been given multiple interpretations, but no one paid attention to the plate of grilled eel on the table, just like the monks of the Church of Santo Dominique, they ate in that dining hall, and they didn't notice it, maybe I noticed it but didn't realize it. After all, this dish was already very common on the tables of nobles at that time, and no one would think of fasting.

Because of fasting, the Venetians put St. Mark's remains in pork on the way back when they smuggled them back. At that time, the Arabian Navy, which had command of the Mediterranean Sea, would not touch it, thus avoiding inspection.

Among the three masters of the Renaissance, Raphael may be a little more obedient. Da Vinci and Michelangelo are not "gentle and tame". A "rebel"...

Pomona was more obedient, and she was an adult, not a teenager, and she knew smoking was bad for her health.

But she just couldn't help but want to rebel, seeing her smoking, how angry should that thirty-year-old antique be?

Of course, he may also ignore her, which is more hurtful than strict discipline. Before Lucius Malfoy went to prison, he still had to take care of Draco's grades, scolding him for failing even a girl, and then he went to prison, how could Naxisha be her sister Bella's opponent, and then Master Malfoy has the brand of Death Eater on his arm, which cannot be washed off for a lifetime.

The conflict between Draco and Hermione was also fueled by her parents. Hermione was the first in the grade, and she must be praised by her parents when she came home. As for Draco's bad mood, Georgiana experienced it. Hermione had good grades, but was not good at sports. Draco was talented in sports. He was also a Slytherin Chaser, which was on par with Harry. However, he was severely banned by Narcissa after he was injured once.

How would Harry Potter's parents feel if they saw Harry Potter's dangerous way of playing ball and desperately fighting for an inter-school game?

Worse still, Hermione implied that Draco was on the school team because he had a rich dad, and Harry was on his own talent, which was tantamount to denying all the value of Draco's hard work.

She didn't like girls talking out loud, like Draco's ex-girlfriend, Parkinson.

But what she hates more now is Maria, she revealed the identity of the witch Georgiana, okay, so what? Send her to the stake?

People are no longer living in the Middle Ages. The laws of various countries are abolishing torture, and Prussia no longer burns witches.

Joseph II also wanted to repeal the law on accusations of witchcraft, but was met with resistance.

People have resistance in mind, "I oppose everything you say", and at this time they use the majesty of patriarchy to suppress, and what they get is more intense resistance.

Watt's eldest son, Gregory, had tuberculosis, an incurable disease in this day and age, and they had to give him up. Before Gregory got this disease, their husband and wife hoped that Gregory would accept them again, no matter what he asked, he would agree.

This did not make Gregory restrain himself, but he made more crazy moves, and finally got tuberculosis. Watt had to put all his hopes on James. But this son was also rebellious and joined a radical revolutionary organization.

Such watts are far from the "heroes" and "leaders of industry" printed on the pound. In the story, he watched the boiling water on the stove boil and the lid of the pot kept jumping up and down, and then he was the first to "invent" the steam engine.

Watt improved the steam engine and improved its energy efficiency so that the energy it generated would not be so heavy that it could not lift its own weight. This is the same as Benjamin Franklin holding a kite and doing lightning experiments in a storm. Anyone who wants to imitate him is like touching the wire of a lightning rod when he sees thunder.

The kite string is originally insulated, but it is not necessarily so after it absorbs water. It is not necessary to confer the title of saint if you want to myth a mortal, not to mention that the church canonization no longer has the authority.

She also doesn't want to "talk" with St. Catherine, arguing over who wins and who loses...

Anyway, after leaving the archbishop's office, Georgiana came to the location of the choir and listened to their singing with Edgeworth and Gregoire.

Richard looked at her.

"What?" she said angrily.

"Bad news?" Edgeworth asked.

"Why can't men understand what women really want? Even the seemingly wise archbishop is like this." She said angrily.

Edgeworth and Gregoire looked at each other without speaking.

She doesn't want to become a monster of "Let no strangers enter", but she will wait until her anger subsides to hold back her edge.

She listened to the hymn, but Erasmus's hymn to fools echoed in her mind:

Life is more important than logic, inspiration is more important than erudition, improvement is more important than argument.

If one day she wants to write an epitaph, she hopes to engrave this sentence on the tombstone, but she feels that she will probably disappear without a trace like the foam on the sea.

"People say it's unfortunate to be cheated. It's not the case at all: it's bad not to be cheated. Whoever thinks that a man's happiness depends on the facts are very wrong; happy or not It all depends on his own opinion. For people and things are too complex and vague to know with certainty, as the least self-righteous philosophers of the Platonic school say. On the contrary, if people can know anything Clearly, such things are mostly things that interfere with the enjoyment of life."

Edgeworth looked at her.

"Which wise man said that?" asked Edgeworth.

"Erasmus."

Richard looked surprised.

"It's not your old friend Darwin, it's Erasmus of Holland." Georgiana said, "Here's what he wrote in Ode to Fools."

Richard thought for a moment, then nodded.

"You know the language of the telegram I wrote, who said it was said that the giant waved his hands and spoke with his fingers?"

Before she could speak, the serious-looking Edgeworth actually danced in the church.

Georgiana was amused by him.

"The joy of life has nothing to do with seeing or not seeing clearly, Georgiana, it's about creating it." Edgeworth glanced at Father Gregoire, "I made a very rude move just now, it seems that we can't continue stay here."

"Where do we go next?" Georgiana asked.

"Go to Farron, I heard he is doing an interesting experiment, are you going?"

"Of course," said Father Grégoire, and the three of them left the church together.
