Fortune-telling measures death _ fortune-telling counts death.

What did the mathematician who divined his own death do before he died?

In ancient times, there were superstitions in both East and West. At that time, people generally believed that there were immortals in the sky and were very keen on fortune telling. China is called fortune telling, and the west is called divination. There was once a European mathematician who calculated his date of death through divination. But he didn't die that day. In order to save face, he chose to commit suicide.

The European mathematician is cardano. Cardano's father is a lawyer, and he and Da Vinci are good friends. At that time, the profession of lawyer was very noble and highly respected. Being born into a lawyer's family is the dream of many people. Life in cardano should have been very comfortable, but this is not the case. Although his father is a lawyer, he is just an illegitimate child.

Because of this heavy position, he was despised and even abused by many people. So when I was a child, cardano was unhappy and weak. Later, under the guidance of my father, I began to contact medicine, mathematics and divination. Later, because of physical weakness, I finally chose medical major. Unfortunately, after graduation, he still failed to get rid of his illegitimate status, and many medical associations did not accept him.

In order to survive, he became a math lecturer and a doctor in a civilian hospital. Because he speaks math well and has excellent medical skills, his reputation soon spread and he became a famous doctor in Europe. At this time, he began to be taken seriously. Besides, he is also an astrologer, who often helps others with divination.

At that time, Europe regarded astrology as a science, and he also helped many European aristocrats to successfully predict what would happen in the future and the final result. He also became a court astrologer. Cardano not only divined others, but also divined his own life. He accurately calculated that he would die on September 2 1, 1576.

When people heard the news, they all attached great importance to it. Because cardano had divined for many people, he almost never missed, so people called him a master of divination. Cardano predicted the date of his death, and people wanted to see if this divination master was really that powerful. Cardano is also very calm about this matter, just quietly waiting for the coming of death.

But on this day, cardano showed no signs of death, which also made him desperate. He is very famous in Europe. If this divination fails, he will become a liar in people's eyes, which is the result he doesn't want to see. So in order to keep his reputation, he chose to commit suicide at home, which is also difficult to understand.
