S4 E01 - Dr. Kit Chapman on Medieval People and Flat Earth

History Rage

This week we welcome Science Historian, Lecturer at Falmouth University and author of "Racing Green: How Motorsport Science can Save the World", Dr. Kit Chapman who joins us to rage that people in the Middle Ages knew the earth was spherical.
He talks to Paul and Kyle about how this was worked out over 2,000 years ago, how the church is not a barrier to science in Western Europe, how alchemy has already been achieved and a man that keeps 2,000 litres of his own urine in his cellar.
If you'd like to know more about this subject then why not buy a copy of "Racing Green" from the History Rage Bookshop . This helps Kit, us and independent booksellers.
