Welcome to the CET zone. In Old Europe we have a tradition of Enlightenment like Critique of Pure Reason.
Berlin, Capital of Germany, today has good neighbours as Paris, Amsterdam and Warsaw in the European Union. 🇩🇪 🇪🇺
While in Berlin stop at the Berghain, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and the Mauerpark. Only after the more educated fan of space history may make a day's visit to the southern coast of the Baltic sea and touch some historic ground of rocket science and far more sad ambitions of the past. :rocket: :thinking:

There is a historic and long-standing political reason to distinguish between the United Kingdom and Great Britain and that is why I personally as an EU citizen prefer the use of GB as common denominator.

The Latin maxim „de gustibus non est disputandum“ is not a true ancient Latin adage, i.e. not Roman, but instead was transcribed from the spanish phrase „Sobre los gustos no hay disputo“ by the almost forgotten French lawyer and politician Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin. During the time of terror of the French Revolution this poor human had to emigrate and was living for two years 1795/96 in New York, in the then quite young United States of America. Later he returned to his home country France and was author of „La Physiologie du Goût“ besides some other books.

The right to education has been recognized as a human right in a number of international conventions, specifically as Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) which was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly at its third session on 10 December 1948 as Resolution 217 in Paris, France.

Eratosthenes of Cyrene (c. 276 BC – c. 195/194 BC) was a Greek polymath: mathematician, geographer, poet, astronomer, and music theorist. He was a man of learning, becoming the chief librarian at the Library of Alexandria. He invented the discipline of geography, including the terminology used today.
He is best known for being the first person to calculate the circumference of the Earth, which he did by comparing angles of the mid-day Sun at two places a known North-South distance apart. His calculation was remarkably accurate. He was also the first to calculate the tilt of the Earth's axis, again with remarkable accuracy. Additionally, he may have accurately calculated the distance from the Earth to the Sun and invented the leap day. He created the first map of the world, incorporating parallels and meridians based on the available geographic knowledge of his era.
