It's basically the movie equivalent of that #ZeroPercentScience diagram that makes the rounds every now and again. The Dark Ages began when Cyril of Alexandria burned the Great Library and that's that.

“Everybody knew they were not there, so they couldn’t be there. It was like in the middle ages, everybody knew the earth was flat.”
Nobel Laureate Robin Warren on discovering bacteria in the stomach and having a hard time convincing the scientific community. Happy 83rd birthday!

Joke's on you: did you know that "manuscript" is also a pre-scientific term in and of itself, from a time of profound ignorance of keyboards, when carpal tunnel syndrome was commonly blamed on feather quills.

Oh noes! I guess the ESF 'Transformation of the #Roman World' (est. 1992) will have to rewrite all the... what's that? "Diversity"? "Gradual change"? "Melting pot"...?
Oh it's just #science reinventing the wheel again... carry on then! #ZeroPercentScience #MedievalTwitter

From the end: "Interconnections of computus, canon law, cosmology, and biblical exegesis reveal much about the nature of nature - and the limits of the miraculous." (In case you thought #ZeroPercentScience was all 'miracle proofs and magic').

#ZeroPercentScience on the road again! Looking forward to trying out some new material in "Contested Nature: Authority, Science and Belief, from Cummian to Alcuin"
Identity politics included of course.

This is not quite a termcard, but a heads up about where to find out about @Department_ASNC's Graduate Seminars, Research Seminars, and other events

Still time to join us in St Andrews for some #ZeroPercentScience challenging! Got some great proposals already - should be a fascinating mix.

Why is science cool? The more we learn, the more humble we become and less we think we know. The exact opposite of religion, which is arrogant and foolish, thinking it knows all.

My latest reader’s report: I wish there was more computus in here!

Have thoughts on the politics and cultures of early sciences, 500-1500CE? Come speak in St Andrews in March 2020!
It might not all be #ZeroPercentScience after all.

So anyone up for #ZeroPercentScience: The Conference, let me know #global and #medievaltwitter friends. Please share.
Cultural, social, intellectual, comparative histories of pre-modern science and its contexts, all broadly defined. Let's talk.

I haven't forgotten #ZeroPercentScience: The Conference (CFP definitely Monday).
But also plotting with a colleague whether their conference cld be on the same day(s), same building, share catering, and cause weird coffee break chats by mixing people up. Tempting.

I was partway through drafting a #cfp for a #ZeroPercentScience - the Conference when I saw this.
Imagine all the nothing we have to discuss!

On the 4th of July, AD 1054, the Chinese recorded a new “star” in the sky. Steeped in the Dark Ages, Europe made no mention of it. Was a supernova. The explosion of a dying star with the Crab Nebula as its gory remnant
In the USA Astrophysicists celebrate annually with fireworks

Enjoying the few moments when C8/9th Latin and Greek astronomy are identical (BAV Vat Gr 1291 left; Paris BnF lat 5543 right; both on the course of the moon through the Zodiac).
