Moral of the story: Despite its successes, QM has a consensus & interpretation problem like no other in history. Though it became the darling topic of the media & hype factories, it remains flawed w/both incomplete & inconsistent elements after 100+ years. It has become more #Ptolemaic over time.

My toxic trait is that, every time someone mentions #Cleopatra, I feel the urge to interject with, “Do you mean Cleopatra VII”, to clarify which Cleopatra they are referring to. #ancient #history #egypt #ptolemaic

This manuscript page provides graphical insight to #astronomy in medieval times.
The page is from lecture notes on astronomy compiled by the monk Magister Wolfgang de Styria before the year 1490.
Top panels illustrate the #geometry for a #lunar and #solar eclipse in the #Ptolemaic system. At lower left is a diagram of the Ptolemaic view of the Solar System.
The illustrated manuscript page was found at historic Melk Abbey in Austria.

This is so interesting to me. It does indeed seem to be surprisingly relevant. I have seen references to #Hermeticism here and there, but knew nothing about it. No one ever mentions Hermes Trismegistus and I never learned anything about #philosophy or #religion in the #Ptolemaic kingdom. "Cleopatra was Greek" was treated as trivia. These ideas have been almost totally underground and maybe they shouldn't be. -

This image demonstrates a profound lack of historical understanding of Ancient Egypt and the Ptolemaic period.
Even Hypatia would have face-palmed.
