The guide in the Collagium Maius asked, who is the most famous person from Poland. I stood there, not knowing a single name.
"Nicholas Copernicus." She said.
So, while walking around in the Educational trail along Krakow waiting for the guided tour into Collagium Maius of the Jagiellonian University, the second oldest university in Europe, I came across his monument, standing proud in front of one of the university building, just adjacent to the music school.
Inside the collage museum, we were brought to see the astronomical instruments used by the golden son of Poland, very much well preserved despite aging hundreds of years. While I had not much general knowledge (thanks to our well-controlled education system), after reading a brief history of this famous man online, I have a sense of awe and respect for him.
I wonder now though, is there any chance for anybody to ever have such a breakthrough in knowledge? For instance, to come up with a theory that there is actually another us in an adjacent world of the same time yet different space... Hmmm... Fringe-like much? LMAO.
