From historical records we know that Christopher Columbus was one of
inventor of the continent (America) and the sailors are reliable. Although recent years havethe debate between who the real inventor of the Americas (whether true Columbusor Cheng Ho), I do not want to get caught up in this debate. Article, I will onlytells us that Columbus in his lifetime never reveal the theoryabout the earth which is seen totally new at that time. Columbus when itstates that the earth is round. The theory is a theory that clearlycontrary to the belief of the world at that time who believed that the earthwas flat like a plate or like a chessboard .*
In ancient times people believed that western Europe andeast of the continent of Asia and Australia is comprised of a vast ocean, notno land. The people believed that the oceans are nahaluas it has edge boundaryso that any ship that tried to sail across the sea to the edge of the tip,the ship will sink to fall to the bottom of the ocean is very deep. Columbusovertly rejected this belief. He even thought that the shape of the Earthis round like an orange.
To prove that the earth was round, Columbus intend to dosea expedition. When Columbus expressed his intention to conduct the expedition,many people, including his family, thought Columbus was crazy. But Columbusremained firm in his stance. Columbus struggle to prove thatthe earth is round is not mild. If you can not prove that the earth is round (whichwhen it is considered a denial of God's law), Columbus must be readyface the death penalty.
Columbus then persuaded King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, ruler of the kingdomSpain at that time, to assist and facilitate his adventures inthe ocean is vast. Columbus assured them that he wouldfind a dream land with an abundance of gold. Thus, the kingdomSpain will be remembered for all time. It turned out that what is said Columbus wasproven because in subsequent years, the Spaniards have actually beenfind gold is so abundant that they plundered from the Incas.
King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella was persuaded Columbus and willingassist and facilitate adventure Columbus. Long story short, Columbus homewith the evidence that the Earth is round. He sailed and found the "Land of India"(Americas) through the journey westward. He succeeded in proving thatearth is not flat, there is no edge of the abyss of the world as it is believed manypeople at the time.
After the discovery of new continents, Columbus became very famous andglorified by the king and all the people. Columbus was appointed nationalityroyal honor. It made some people envious of Columbus. Manywho secretly sneered that the Columbus expedition is only mediocre. That said,after Columbus returned from the discovery of a new continent, many peoplesay that they too can do the same thing. Some people are jealoussaid, "What's so great is he? He just set sail and just happened to find a continentnew. Anyone can do that. "
More and more the name Columbus is often called people and they are envious ofColumbus was growing increasingly jealous. One day, Columbus attended abanquet. In the banquet that he told all the stories thatencountered in the search for "New Continent" is. Once again dazzled the guests invitedand recognize the greatness of Columbus.In that forum, Columbus also challenged the nobles and the peoplewho taunted him. Columbus offers a challenge. Columbus broughtsome chicken eggs. Then he said, "Let us compete to provewho's better. Anyone who can make these eggs stand on the tableate, he was the one of the best and all the titles as well as fortune would I givehim. "
The nobles and people are envious of Columbus accepted the challengeit. Some people then tried to lay the eggs on the table with the positionstand up. However, no one could do it. Yes, it is not possibleeggs that led oval (ellipse) it can stand upright. It is a miracle andit seems unreasonable if the egg can stand upright. Each tested is placed inupright position, the eggs were immediately rolled down.
After not one person in the banquet was successfully laid eggs ontable in a standing position, then pick up the egg of Columbus. Then Columbussaid to the audience, "This is the simplest thing in the world. Everyone canhaving shown the way to do it! "after saying this, then Columbustapping the lower end of the egg to the table so that the cracks and no longer oblong.Thus, the egg can stand upright.
Columbus saw what was done, the nobles and the people whotaunted him saying, "Gee, if only so we can too." Then what is the answerColumbus? Columbus said with a smile, "If it can, why notyou do so? "
That's the story of "Egg of Columbus" which you may have heard. Ijust want to emphasize two sentences of this story, namely the spoken sentenceColumbus will be tapped as one of the egg to stand upright (Thisis the simplest thing in the world. Everyone can do it aftershown how!) and the sentence was pronounced the nobles who enviedColumbus shortly after Columbus had laid eggs on the table in positionstanding upright (Gee, if only so we can).
