1
00:00:04,212 --> 00:00:05,296
Who are we?

2
00:00:06,256 --> 00:00:09,300
I've no doubt that we are those
who will inherit the coming age.

3
00:00:11,219 --> 00:00:14,305
Having broken free of the prejudices
and discrimination of old,

4
00:00:15,265 --> 00:00:18,226
we will freely, nimbly, and elegantly

5
00:00:18,268 --> 00:00:20,311
plunge into the unknown.

6
00:00:21,271 --> 00:00:24,315
And today, a new comrade
has joined our quest.

7
00:00:25,275 --> 00:00:26,317
His name is Albert.

8
00:00:27,277 --> 00:00:28,278
Welcome!

9
00:00:29,237 --> 00:00:30,280
We're glad to have you!

10
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,284
I've served as his tutor,

11
00:00:34,325 --> 00:00:37,245
and his clear thinking has amazed me.

12
00:00:37,328 --> 00:00:40,248
It's as if a master theoretician

13
00:00:40,248 --> 00:00:42,333
has entered into a young boy's body.

14
00:00:44,252 --> 00:00:47,213
However, what I find even more remarkable

15
00:00:47,213 --> 00:00:49,257
is his intense curiosity.

16
00:00:49,299 --> 00:00:51,259
No other talent

17
00:00:51,301 --> 00:00:54,262
is more important
to the future of academia.

18
00:00:55,263 --> 00:00:58,308
I say that because I am afraid.

19
00:00:59,309 --> 00:01:01,227
Perhaps in the future,

20
00:01:01,269 --> 00:01:05,273
the view that truth is conceived,
rather than discovered,

21
00:01:05,273 --> 00:01:09,235
may become an assumption of sorts.

22
00:01:10,236 --> 00:01:12,280
Written works of the past
and other countries

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,242
all describe different histories,
cultures, and faiths.

24
00:01:17,243 --> 00:01:19,287
Information is in short supply now,

25
00:01:19,287 --> 00:01:23,291
but if we connect with those
foreign to us in the days to come,

26
00:01:23,291 --> 00:01:27,212
even truth may one day
be seen as relative.

27
00:01:28,254 --> 00:01:30,256
When that happens,

28
00:01:30,256 --> 00:01:33,259
awe and admiration
for the ideal of universal truth

29
00:01:33,259 --> 00:01:35,303
may fade from human hearts.

30
00:01:37,222 --> 00:01:41,226
As a result, research will become
increasingly specialized.

31
00:01:41,309 --> 00:01:44,312
The grand desire for contact
with knowledge as a whole,

32
00:01:45,271 --> 00:01:47,232
in other words, curiosity itself,

33
00:01:47,315 --> 00:01:51,277
may be despised as frivolous and wasteful.

34
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,239
If that happens,

35
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,242
I can't help but feel sad.

36
00:02:00,245 --> 00:02:01,287
That's why I choose

37
00:02:02,330 --> 00:02:04,207
to believe.

38
00:02:04,290 --> 00:02:05,291
I believe in all of you

39
00:02:06,292 --> 00:02:08,253
and your curiosity.

40
00:03:44,182 --> 00:03:47,185
Oh man, I spoke too long again.

41
00:03:47,185 --> 00:03:48,269
Um, excuse me.

42
00:03:49,228 --> 00:03:51,230
Thank you again.

43
00:03:52,190 --> 00:03:53,232
I don't know what to say,

44
00:03:54,192 --> 00:03:57,195
but I'm very happy
that you invited me here!

45
00:03:58,237 --> 00:04:00,239
Don't be so humble.

46
00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:02,241
We're equals here.

47
00:04:03,201 --> 00:04:07,205
Anyway, I have an errand to attend to,
so I'll take my leave.

48
00:04:07,205 --> 00:04:08,247
But you should enjoy yourself.

49
00:04:10,208 --> 00:04:13,252
They're probably discussing cosmology
at that table over there.

50
00:04:14,212 --> 00:04:16,214
It should interest you.

51
00:04:18,174 --> 00:04:19,217
Cosmology?

52
00:04:22,220 --> 00:04:24,222
You came all the way here,

53
00:04:24,222 --> 00:04:27,183
so it would be a shame if you left early.

54
00:04:27,225 --> 00:04:29,227
Be sure to stay until the end.

55
00:04:30,186 --> 00:04:31,187
Yes, of course!

56
00:04:31,229 --> 00:04:33,189
Well then, see you later.

57
00:04:38,194 --> 00:04:42,156
That's where the secret information
I obtained comes in.

58
00:04:42,198 --> 00:04:44,242
A prominent man named Ibn al-Shatir

59
00:04:44,242 --> 00:04:47,161
adopted the stance of the Maragha scholars

60
00:04:47,203 --> 00:04:49,205
and refined the uniform motion
of Ptolemy's--

61
00:04:49,205 --> 00:04:50,248
-Oh!
-Huh?

62
00:04:50,248 --> 00:04:52,208
Sorry, it's nothing!

63
00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:53,251
Please continue.

64
00:04:54,210 --> 00:04:58,256
Right. Anyway, what Ibn al-Shatir did was…

65
00:04:58,256 --> 00:05:00,174
Oh, no.

66
00:05:00,216 --> 00:05:04,178
I forgot to record my observations today.

67
00:05:05,221 --> 00:05:06,222
What do I do?

68
00:05:07,181 --> 00:05:09,183
If I go home now,

69
00:05:09,183 --> 00:05:11,269
the meeting will be over
by the time I get back.

70
00:05:12,228 --> 00:05:14,272
Then again, this is a special day.

71
00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:18,192
It won't hurt if I skip
my observations just this once.

72
00:05:19,235 --> 00:05:21,237
…there's another way to look at it.

73
00:05:21,237 --> 00:05:24,156
-Huh?
-Sorry, I have to go.

74
00:05:24,198 --> 00:05:26,200
Thank you very much for today!

75
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,243
Huh? Sure.

76
00:05:27,243 --> 00:05:29,161
Come again, okay?

77
00:05:29,203 --> 00:05:30,246
I will. Farewell!

78
00:05:36,210 --> 00:05:37,253
If I'm lucky,

79
00:05:37,253 --> 00:05:40,214
I can borrow Father's horse
and go back right away.

80
00:05:41,173 --> 00:05:42,258
I might make it in time!

81
00:05:46,262 --> 00:05:48,180
I'm back!

82
00:06:09,201 --> 00:06:10,202
Huh?

83
00:06:10,202 --> 00:06:11,203
Oh, my.

84
00:06:12,163 --> 00:06:16,167
Huh? W-What are you…

85
00:06:16,208 --> 00:06:17,251
Oh, uh…

86
00:06:18,210 --> 00:06:21,172
Man, this is a dilemma.

87
00:06:21,213 --> 00:06:23,257
Well, I understand how you feel.

88
00:06:24,175 --> 00:06:25,217
You must be confused.

89
00:06:26,218 --> 00:06:29,180
Even so, I'd like you to stay calm.

90
00:06:29,221 --> 00:06:31,223
If you deal with it rationally,

91
00:06:31,223 --> 00:06:33,267
this too can be understood.

92
00:06:34,268 --> 00:06:36,187
I have faith in you.

93
00:06:39,231 --> 00:06:41,192
Let me say first

94
00:06:42,193 --> 00:06:46,197
that I never intended this to happen.

95
00:06:47,198 --> 00:06:49,241
I wanted to settle things peacefully.

96
00:06:52,244 --> 00:06:55,164
Anyway, I'll start from the beginning.

97
00:06:55,206 --> 00:06:58,209
Recently, I heard a rumor

98
00:06:59,210 --> 00:07:02,254
that your father possessed
certain materials.

99
00:07:03,255 --> 00:07:06,258
These materials deal
with a revolutionary theory

100
00:07:06,258 --> 00:07:09,220
that could change
the shape of the universe.

101
00:07:09,261 --> 00:07:14,183
I've been interested in that theory
for as long as I can remember,

102
00:07:14,183 --> 00:07:18,187
but I had given up hope
of ever tracking it down.

103
00:07:19,188 --> 00:07:21,232
I thought I had finally found
an entry point.

104
00:07:22,191 --> 00:07:25,194
So I proposed sharing the materials

105
00:07:25,194 --> 00:07:26,278
and engaging in joint research.

106
00:07:27,238 --> 00:07:29,240
It wasn't a bad offer, I'd say.

107
00:07:30,241 --> 00:07:32,201
To be honest,

108
00:07:32,201 --> 00:07:36,205
the theory is beyond your father's grasp.

109
00:07:36,247 --> 00:07:40,167
Without my intellect and social position,

110
00:07:40,209 --> 00:07:42,211
its value will be lost.

111
00:07:43,254 --> 00:07:46,215
I would have compensated him fairly,

112
00:07:46,215 --> 00:07:48,217
and we both would have benefited.

113
00:07:49,218 --> 00:07:52,179
But that's when the problem started.

114
00:07:52,263 --> 00:07:55,182
He refused my offer.

115
00:07:55,224 --> 00:07:56,267
Without a second thought.

116
00:07:57,226 --> 00:07:58,227
Instead,

117
00:07:58,227 --> 00:08:01,272
he insisted that the theory
conflicted with the prevailing models

118
00:08:02,189 --> 00:08:04,191
and that it might be suppressed.

119
00:08:04,233 --> 00:08:07,236
"I have a child.
I can't take on anything dangerous."

120
00:08:07,236 --> 00:08:08,279
Those were his words.

121
00:08:10,239 --> 00:08:12,241
He was an awfully fussy man.

122
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,287
With the right political moves,
suppression can easily be avoided.

123
00:08:17,204 --> 00:08:19,206
But he wouldn't listen.

124
00:08:19,248 --> 00:08:22,209
No, it was worse than that.

125
00:08:22,251 --> 00:08:24,253
When I tried to convince him,

126
00:08:24,253 --> 00:08:26,213
he grew angry.

127
00:08:26,213 --> 00:08:29,258
In the end, he said
he would burn the materials.

128
00:08:31,218 --> 00:08:33,220
I have to say,

129
00:08:33,220 --> 00:08:35,180
that left me speechless.

130
00:08:36,181 --> 00:08:38,225
Despite all his talk
of knowledge and learning,

131
00:08:38,225 --> 00:08:42,187
he was a boor
concerned only with self-preservation.

132
00:08:42,229 --> 00:08:46,233
Oh, I guess I shouldn't
speak ill of your father.

133
00:08:46,233 --> 00:08:48,193
I take that back. Sorry.

134
00:08:49,194 --> 00:08:51,238
In any case, he grew hysterical,

135
00:08:51,238 --> 00:08:54,158
and I thought he might
do something drastic.

136
00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:56,243
And so, I pacified him.

137
00:08:56,243 --> 00:08:58,203
In the only way I could.

138
00:08:59,204 --> 00:09:00,247
Your father

139
00:09:00,247 --> 00:09:03,208
kept knowledge to himself
and refused to share.

140
00:09:03,250 --> 00:09:05,252
That is an intolerable sin.

141
00:09:06,211 --> 00:09:08,255
That way of thinking must be eliminated.

142
00:09:10,257 --> 00:09:11,216
Understand?

143
00:09:12,176 --> 00:09:13,260
The important thing here

144
00:09:14,219 --> 00:09:17,222
is that the knowledge
your father inherited

145
00:09:17,222 --> 00:09:19,224
will no longer be lost.

146
00:09:20,225 --> 00:09:22,186
To pursue the beauty of this world,

147
00:09:22,227 --> 00:09:24,229
sacrifices are unavoidable.

148
00:09:25,230 --> 00:09:28,192
Now then, that clears things up, right?

149
00:09:33,197 --> 00:09:34,198
In the end,

150
00:09:34,239 --> 00:09:37,159
just as he finished his speech,

151
00:09:37,201 --> 00:09:39,203
he was captured by the townspeople.

152
00:09:40,204 --> 00:09:42,164
I don't know the rest.

153
00:09:43,248 --> 00:09:45,167
It's ridiculous, right?

154
00:09:45,209 --> 00:09:46,251
It all meant so little.

155
00:09:49,171 --> 00:09:50,214
My father

156
00:09:50,255 --> 00:09:52,174
told me to doubt.

157
00:09:52,257 --> 00:09:55,219
As a result, he trusted no one

158
00:09:56,178 --> 00:09:58,222
and was killed
for not sharing his materials.

159
00:09:59,223 --> 00:10:01,183
My teacher

160
00:10:01,225 --> 00:10:03,185
told me to believe.

161
00:10:03,227 --> 00:10:07,189
As a result,
he had such faith in his convictions

162
00:10:07,189 --> 00:10:09,191
that he didn't question murder.

163
00:10:10,192 --> 00:10:13,237
That's the fate of people
who deal with knowledge.

164
00:10:14,196 --> 00:10:17,241
"Truth" and "learning"
are too big a burden for humans.

165
00:10:18,242 --> 00:10:20,202
That's why university

166
00:10:21,203 --> 00:10:22,246
is a fool's path.

167
00:10:24,206 --> 00:10:27,209
Do you have to choose between them?

168
00:10:27,209 --> 00:10:28,210
Huh?

169
00:10:28,252 --> 00:10:30,212
Doubt and conviction.

170
00:10:30,254 --> 00:10:32,256
Would it hurt to have both?

171
00:10:33,257 --> 00:10:35,259
Yes, it would.

172
00:10:36,218 --> 00:10:38,220
They contradict each other.

173
00:10:39,221 --> 00:10:41,223
St. Thomas Aquinas wrote that knowledge

174
00:10:42,182 --> 00:10:44,184
is both material

175
00:10:44,184 --> 00:10:47,187
and immaterial.

176
00:10:48,272 --> 00:10:50,232
Body and soul.

177
00:10:51,191 --> 00:10:52,234
Reason and faith.

178
00:10:53,193 --> 00:10:55,195
Philosophy and theology.

179
00:10:55,237 --> 00:10:57,239
Doubt and belief.

180
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,242
These contradictions coexist.

181
00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:02,202
Why?

182
00:11:03,161 --> 00:11:05,163
Because we're human.

183
00:11:07,207 --> 00:11:10,168
Human beings are neither God nor beast.

184
00:11:10,210 --> 00:11:12,212
They exist between the two.

185
00:11:13,171 --> 00:11:14,214
But that's exactly why

186
00:11:15,173 --> 00:11:19,219
they can accept contradiction,
ambiguity, and confusion.

187
00:11:20,220 --> 00:11:23,223
In fact, such things provide
a breather from reason.

188
00:11:25,183 --> 00:11:26,184
Listening to you,

189
00:11:26,268 --> 00:11:29,229
it seems that you no longer
feel God's presence.

190
00:11:30,272 --> 00:11:31,231
In other words,

191
00:11:31,273 --> 00:11:34,276
you no longer sense what a miracle it is

192
00:11:34,276 --> 00:11:36,194
that our world exists.

193
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:43,243
Miracles are chance phenomena
that occur when inevitability rules.

194
00:11:44,202 --> 00:11:45,203
At the same time,

195
00:11:45,245 --> 00:11:49,249
they are also inevitable phenomena
that occur when chance rules.

196
00:11:51,251 --> 00:11:54,212
You felt those things back then.

197
00:11:55,255 --> 00:11:58,258
You knew that everything
in this world is a miracle.

198
00:12:01,178 --> 00:12:03,263
But as you cast aside
experience and memory,

199
00:12:03,263 --> 00:12:08,185
your past and roots,
and finally pain itself,

200
00:12:08,185 --> 00:12:10,187
you also lost the miraculous.

201
00:12:10,228 --> 00:12:15,192
Even though that realm
is where you truly belong.

202
00:12:16,234 --> 00:12:18,236
That's not for you to decide.

203
00:12:20,197 --> 00:12:22,157
Do you know what you should do?

204
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,241
I don't have a clue.

205
00:12:24,242 --> 00:12:26,203
It's simple.

206
00:12:26,203 --> 00:12:28,205
Look up at the sky.

207
00:12:28,246 --> 00:12:31,166
And then, take a deep breath.

208
00:12:32,250 --> 00:12:35,253
My problems aren't that simple.

209
00:12:36,171 --> 00:12:37,172
Of course not.

210
00:12:38,215 --> 00:12:41,176
But even so, they are not insurmountable.

211
00:12:43,178 --> 00:12:45,180
Letters to the Corinthians,

212
00:12:45,180 --> 00:12:47,224
Chapter 10, Verse 13.

213
00:12:48,225 --> 00:12:50,227
"God is faithful;

214
00:12:51,186 --> 00:12:54,272
and he will not let you
be tempted beyond your ability,

215
00:12:55,232 --> 00:12:58,193
but with the temptation

216
00:12:58,193 --> 00:13:02,155
he will also provide the way of escape,
that you may be able to endure it."

217
00:13:06,201 --> 00:13:07,202
Now then,

218
00:13:07,244 --> 00:13:10,163
you showed the courage to speak,

219
00:13:10,205 --> 00:13:13,208
so I will confess my own secret worry.

220
00:13:16,169 --> 00:13:17,170
In my case…

221
00:13:19,214 --> 00:13:21,174
Long ago,

222
00:13:22,175 --> 00:13:24,261
I left a friend for dead.

223
00:13:26,221 --> 00:13:29,224
In the course of his work,

224
00:13:29,224 --> 00:13:32,185
my friend committed a terrible crime.

225
00:13:33,186 --> 00:13:35,230
Something irreversible.

226
00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:38,191
As a result,

227
00:13:38,233 --> 00:13:40,193
he died.

228
00:13:41,153 --> 00:13:44,197
But it was the very severity of his sin

229
00:13:44,197 --> 00:13:47,242
that made it important
to show him the path of salvation.

230
00:13:49,161 --> 00:13:51,246
What was the correct choice
for me at that moment?

231
00:13:53,165 --> 00:13:54,249
I still have no answer.

232
00:13:55,208 --> 00:13:57,210
I don't know if I ever will.

233
00:13:58,211 --> 00:14:01,214
However, one thing is clear.

234
00:14:02,215 --> 00:14:03,258
Before today,

235
00:14:04,175 --> 00:14:07,178
I had turned a blind eye to my past.

236
00:14:08,263 --> 00:14:12,267
But now I was able to express it
in words for the first time.

237
00:14:13,226 --> 00:14:17,188
By doing so, I'll probably suffer
even more from now on.

238
00:14:19,190 --> 00:14:20,275
But at the same time,

239
00:14:21,192 --> 00:14:23,236
I'll believe today was a first step.

240
00:14:24,195 --> 00:14:26,197
The same goes for you.

241
00:14:27,198 --> 00:14:29,242
You told me your worries.

242
00:14:30,201 --> 00:14:31,286
Now you can move forward.

243
00:14:33,204 --> 00:14:35,248
God will accept us.

244
00:14:36,249 --> 00:14:41,212
And God will always offer us a refuge.

245
00:14:42,172 --> 00:14:43,256
But for that to happen,

246
00:14:43,256 --> 00:14:46,259
we must overcome ourselves

247
00:14:47,260 --> 00:14:50,180
and face God with sincerity.

248
00:14:50,263 --> 00:14:51,264
In addition,

249
00:14:51,264 --> 00:14:54,184
we must question in solitude

250
00:14:56,186 --> 00:15:01,191
whether we are worthy of God's acceptance.

251
00:15:02,192 --> 00:15:05,195
But no matter how much
we struggle with that question,

252
00:15:05,195 --> 00:15:07,197
God will remain silent.

253
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,239
That's right.

254
00:15:09,199 --> 00:15:11,201
And that's what enables us

255
00:15:11,201 --> 00:15:14,162
to continue thinking, without end.

256
00:15:15,205 --> 00:15:18,208
I'd like to believe that is happiness.

257
00:15:22,253 --> 00:15:23,254
Finally,

258
00:15:24,172 --> 00:15:26,174
I have one question for you.

259
00:15:27,258 --> 00:15:30,261
To obtain bread, one offers coin.

260
00:15:32,180 --> 00:15:35,225
To obtain rights, one offers taxes.

261
00:15:36,226 --> 00:15:39,270
To obtain wages, one offers labor.

262
00:15:41,231 --> 00:15:42,232
So then,

263
00:15:43,191 --> 00:15:44,275
what must one offer up

264
00:15:45,193 --> 00:15:47,195
to obtain the truth of our world?

265
00:15:47,237 --> 00:15:49,197
What do you think?

266
00:15:54,244 --> 00:15:56,246
Go in search of the answer.

267
00:15:58,248 --> 00:15:59,249
Why?

268
00:16:00,250 --> 00:16:03,211
So you can resume living in this world.

269
00:16:10,218 --> 00:16:12,220
I think going to university

270
00:16:12,220 --> 00:16:14,180
might be one way to find out.

271
00:16:15,223 --> 00:16:17,267
Farewell, and may God bless you.

272
00:16:49,257 --> 00:16:53,219
To pursue the beauty of this world,
sacrifices are unavoidable.

273
00:16:56,222 --> 00:16:58,183
No matter what happens,

274
00:16:58,224 --> 00:17:01,186
I'll never criticize your curiosity.

275
00:17:30,214 --> 00:17:31,215
Teacher,

276
00:17:33,176 --> 00:17:35,219
I want to pursue the beauty of this world.

277
00:17:36,179 --> 00:17:40,183
To do so, sacrifices are unavoidable.

278
00:17:42,185 --> 00:17:43,227
To be honest,

279
00:17:43,227 --> 00:17:45,188
I feel the same way.

280
00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:48,232
But you couldn't reach beauty

281
00:17:50,193 --> 00:17:52,195
with the methods you chose.

282
00:17:53,237 --> 00:17:56,199
I don't know what must be offered up

283
00:17:56,199 --> 00:17:58,242
to know the truth of this world.

284
00:18:00,203 --> 00:18:01,204
But I'm certain

285
00:18:01,245 --> 00:18:05,249
that hiding things like my father
or eliminating others like you

286
00:18:06,209 --> 00:18:08,252
is not how it's done.

287
00:18:10,213 --> 00:18:11,255
We all lack something.

288
00:18:12,173 --> 00:18:13,257
That's why we work together.

289
00:18:14,217 --> 00:18:17,220
The world is too big
of a challenge otherwise.

290
00:18:18,262 --> 00:18:21,265
Humans are social animals.

291
00:18:23,226 --> 00:18:24,268
Teacher,

292
00:18:25,228 --> 00:18:27,230
I too feel thaumazein.

293
00:18:28,189 --> 00:18:30,191
I will continue to affirm that feeling

294
00:18:31,234 --> 00:18:33,236
in ways different from you.

295
00:18:35,238 --> 00:18:37,240
I'll doubt as I move forward

296
00:18:38,157 --> 00:18:39,242
and believe as I turn back.

297
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,203
My pursuit of beauty

298
00:18:42,286 --> 00:18:44,163
and inspiration

299
00:18:44,247 --> 00:18:46,207
will never end.

300
00:18:55,216 --> 00:18:57,176
Oh, you're back.

301
00:18:57,218 --> 00:18:59,262
-That took longer than expected.
-Master!

302
00:19:01,222 --> 00:19:03,182
Please allow me to attend university.

303
00:19:07,228 --> 00:19:09,188
Let's see.

304
00:19:09,230 --> 00:19:13,192
You're our new applicant.

305
00:19:13,234 --> 00:19:15,236
Albert, wasn't it?

306
00:19:15,236 --> 00:19:16,237
Yes.

307
00:19:17,238 --> 00:19:19,240
In that case, sign here.

308
00:19:28,166 --> 00:19:31,252
Albert… Brudzewski?

309
00:19:31,252 --> 00:19:33,212
Yes.

310
00:19:33,212 --> 00:19:36,215
Brudzewo is the name of my hometown.

311
00:19:36,257 --> 00:19:38,259
I use that name for my signature.

312
00:19:39,218 --> 00:19:41,179
I see.

313
00:19:41,179 --> 00:19:43,181
Well, anything will do.

314
00:19:43,222 --> 00:19:46,225
Starting tomorrow,
take whatever classes you like.

315
00:20:50,206 --> 00:20:52,166
What? A letter?

316
00:20:52,208 --> 00:20:53,209
For me?

317
00:20:53,209 --> 00:20:55,252
Yes. It's addressed to Potocki.

318
00:20:55,252 --> 00:20:57,213
Potocki?

319
00:20:57,213 --> 00:21:00,216
I don't know anyone by that name.

320
00:21:00,257 --> 00:21:04,220
Still, this is definitely the address.

321
00:21:04,220 --> 00:21:07,223
Well, that is what it says.

322
00:21:07,264 --> 00:21:10,226
But then… could it be intended

323
00:21:10,226 --> 00:21:13,229
for the previous occupant?

324
00:21:13,270 --> 00:21:16,190
I mean, I've never seen
anything like this.

325
00:21:16,232 --> 00:21:18,192
"Certificate of title."

326
00:21:18,234 --> 00:21:21,153
"In the event that
the following book is published,

327
00:21:21,195 --> 00:21:23,239
you will receive
ten percent of the profits."

328
00:21:23,239 --> 00:21:25,241
It's kind of creepy.

329
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,162
Plus, isn't this a weird name for a book?

330
00:21:30,204 --> 00:21:33,207
"On the Movements of the Earth," it says.

331
00:21:37,253 --> 00:21:39,213
That must be a mistake.

332
00:21:39,213 --> 00:21:41,215
After all, it's the heavens that move.

333
00:21:42,216 --> 00:21:44,218
It's way too suspicious.

334
00:21:44,218 --> 00:21:48,180
They didn't even send
the book in question.

335
00:21:48,180 --> 00:21:50,266
Then again, if it brings me money,
I'm fine with that.

336
00:21:53,185 --> 00:21:57,189
On the Movements of the Earth, huh?

337
00:22:03,237 --> 00:22:04,238
Hmm?

338
00:22:08,242 --> 00:22:11,162
In 1468,

339
00:22:11,245 --> 00:22:16,250
Albert Brudzewski enrolled
at the University of Kraków at age 23.

340
00:22:17,251 --> 00:22:22,173
He would eventually work there
as a teacher for 20 years.

341
00:22:23,174 --> 00:22:27,178
His lectures focused mainly
on mathematics and natural philosophy.

342
00:22:28,179 --> 00:22:29,180
At one point,

343
00:22:29,180 --> 00:22:34,185
he expressed skepticism toward
the traditional geocentric model

344
00:22:34,185 --> 00:22:35,269
but refrained from drawing conclusions.

345
00:22:37,229 --> 00:22:39,231
In 1482,

346
00:22:40,191 --> 00:22:43,194
he wrote a commentary
on the astronomy textbook of the time,

347
00:22:43,235 --> 00:22:46,238
New Theories of the Planets.

348
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,201
It would go on to be widely read
at the university.

349
00:22:53,204 --> 00:22:55,247
In 1491,

350
00:22:56,207 --> 00:23:01,170
one of the students
who learned astronomy from his commentary

351
00:23:01,253 --> 00:23:04,215
was a young man named Copernicus.
