"Are you going to lie to everyone again?”
Many people in the court shook their heads silently when they heard Liu Di ask questions like " Why are there spring, summer, autumn, and winter?"
They only felt that Liu Di was preparing to deceive everyone!
Pretending to be a god, with this set of excuses, could he deceive everyone!？
"I wonder why there are spring, summer, autumn, and winter? Why is the sun rising and the moon setting?" Wang Wan couldn't help but ask Liu Di.
"Because the sun is a round sphere, a huge fireball that can emit light and heat!”
"The moon is also a huge sphere that can reflect the light of the sun!”
"Most importantly, the ground under our feet is also a circular sphere!”
"The moon is revolving around the earth under our feet, and our earth and the moon are revolving around the sun together. That's why the sun rises and the moon sets!”
"Because we revolve around the sun, and there are distances. One revolution is a year!”
"It's summer when it's near, and winter when it's far away!”
"The moon takes a month to revolve around the earth. That's why the moon's waxing and waning!”
Liu Di opened his mouth and explained the concept of the movement of celestial bodies to the people in the imperial court!
These words made everyone in the imperial court dumbfounded and tongue-tied!
"Ridiculous, extremely ridiculous. If the ground under our feet is really a sphere, then wouldn't the people below all fall down?”
"It is indeed ridiculous. The sky is round and the earth is square. It is recorded in ancient books. How can it be said that the earth under our feet is actually a sphere!”
"Impossible. I believe that the sun is a sphere, and I also believe that the moon is a sphere, but the ground under our feet is also a sphere? This is absolutely impossible!"
……
As Liu Di's words were thrown out, it immediately caused a huge uproar in the imperial court!
After all, the person who proposed the Heliocentric Theory did not end up well!
If Qin Shihuang did not value Liu Di and even made him the emperor's teacher, perhaps Liu Di's words would have ended up being tied to the gallows in this era!
The entire court was in an uproar!
Compared to these civil officials and generals, Qin Shihuang, who was sitting on the throne, also revealed a shocked expression!
However, unlike other people who did not believe it, Qin Shihuang was very shocked because he believed Liu Di's words!
The sun and the moon were spheres. This was acceptable. After all, this was what the eyes saw!
However, the ground beneath his feet was actually a sphere!？
Qin Shi Huang was incomparably shocked!
That's right. Since the ground under their feet was also a sphere, why didn't the people on the other side fall down?
It wasn't that he didn't believe it, but that he believed it. Therefore, Qin Shihuang was also very puzzled!
"Your words are indeed shocking. We have no way to prove that your words are false!”
After Wang Jian was silent for a long time, he opened his mouth and said to Liu Di!
Wang Jian changed the topic and added,"However, since the emperor's master has made such a shocking statement, does the emperor have any way to prove that what you said is true?”
"If you talk big but don't have any evidence, it's not enough to prove your words, right?”
"Of course I have evidence!"
Liu Di's expression was still calm and unhurried as he said,""First of all, if you go out to sea and see a ship coming from afar, the first thing you will see is the mast, and then the hull!”
"By the same logic, if you see a mountain in the distance on a very flat land, the first thing you will see is the upper part of the mountain. As you get closer, you will slowly see the entire mountain!”
"Secondly, the moon has its ups and downs, right?”
"I just said that the moon is missing because the earth blocks the reflection of the sun's light!”
"Then, is the missing part of the moon a circular arc?”Liu Di followed up and asked Wang Jian and the others.
" This…" Liu Di's rhetorical question silenced all the civil and military officials in the court!
Many people had never gone out to sea to look at the mast of a ship, so they really didn't understand!
However, it was the same principle to look at mountains on flat land.
It seemed that it was really as the immortal master said? First, he saw the upper half of the mountain?
Also, did the edge of the moon's shadow really seem to be curved?
Didn't this prove that the ground under his feet was indeed a round sphere!？
"What Immortal Master said is truly shocking. However, what I care most about is still growing vegetables in winter!？”
Just as everyone was rendered speechless by Liu Di's question, Qin Shihuang spoke again, turning the topic over!
It could be considered as leaving the last bit of face for the ministers!
As soon as he said this, the ministers in the court were shocked.
