Warrant connects to MG-7 Q7 Whose Golden Age
Hints
  1. Jai Singh II + Xu Guangqi-Ricci + Piri Reis are global parallels.
  2. Galileo did NOT invent telescope (Lippershey 1608); Vesalius did NOT originate dissection (Galen 2nd c. + Ibn al-Nafis 1242 + Mondino 1316).
Misconceptions to watch
  • Treating Europe as 'first' or 'best' in science
  • Ignoring trans-civilizational scientific networks
