{عرفوه بالعلم}(05) كوكب بكرش و اجناب

We talked about the beginning of the universe... then we left the universe and landed on planet Earth... and we traveled through time to watch humans... as they tried to understand the planet they live on... and the world... It all started with us wanting to know how big this planet we live on is. How big is it? **** In 1735, the French Royal Academy of Sciences sent a scientific expedition to Peru, led by a hydrologist named Pierre Bouguerg and a military mathematician named Charles Marie de La Condamine. It was a rather pleasant trip—scientists and adventurers, the kind of people you'd find in Tintin—going to Peru to measure the distances between the Andes Mountains. At that time, a fervent desire to explore and understand the Earth was spreading among people. They wanted to know how old it was, how big it was, where it was located in space, and where it came from and how it came to be. The French team's goal was to try to measure, or deduce, the circumference of the Earth using trigonometry. Back then, the planet was considered spherical, and no one claimed it was flat—hundreds of years before NASA, which lies to us and tells us the Earth is round, even though we all know it's not. They know she has a beard... Anyway... the French team's plans fell apart... A village chased them away with stones and sticks because they did something that offended the people... The expedition's doctor was killed for trying to pick up a local girl... The botanist with them went crazy... Others died from fever or fell off a mountain... And one of the expedition leaders picked up a 13-year-old girl and ran away with her... So, the whole thing was a complete disaster, and they had to stop working for about 8 months...
