Oriental divination mostly uses eight diagrams, nine palaces, five elements of yin and yang plus heavenly stems and earthly branches, while western divination mostly uses crystal balls or celestial bodies for divination, which is also due to the development trend of civilization. Western Europe is very advanced in celestial research, especially during the Renaissance.
During the Renaissance, there were many talents in painting, modern medicine, mathematics and physics, but only one person was called? An encyclopedia? He is cardano, an Italian mathematician, physician and physicist, but he is the most famous? Excellence? Are there two other identities? Gambler? And then what? Astrologer? .
As a gambler, cardano wrote On the Dice Game. He used mathematical probability to transform the winning surface of the dice. As an astrologer, he was appreciated by Pope Pope Pius V, who paid him an annual salary for life and let him stay in the palace and concentrate on astrology.
Cardano was born in 150 1. His father is a lawyer and a friend of the famous painter Leonardo da Vinci. Under the influence of Leonardo da Vinci, cardano began to study classical literature and medicine, but he was an illegitimate child, so his reputation was not very good and he was discriminated against.
However, with the publication of his medical works, his reputation gradually spread in Milan. His medical skill is superb, and he is also the first person in history to describe typhus clinically. He is outstanding in mathematics, and published The Great Book, in which he put forward a cubic algebraic equation.
The theory of probability in the game of dice is regarded as the first book of probability theory, which initiated the modern theory of probability. He proposed fluid mechanics in physics, invented a series of mechanical devices such as universal shaft and coded lock, and even was a natural philosopher. He explained fire, earth, water and air and called them elements.
However, as an astrologer, he is controversial. Although he was obsessed with astrology, he didn't get any results. He tells many people's fortune, but none of them are accurate. 1570, he divined Jesus, was denounced as a heretic by religion, and was directly put into prison.
After his release, he lost his degree in astrology and had to find another way out. However, Pope Pius admired him to some extent and pursued him as a great astrologer. 1573, he calculated from the astrology that he would die on September 2 1, 1576.
Although he was a little frustrated and couldn't go against his fate, that day, he was as strong as an ox and didn't even have minor injuries or illnesses. In order to save face, he finally chose to commit suicide. An encyclopedia? The last accurate prediction.
