Time to get working!

[xroyal_bratx]

Characters: Ishtar (AU1) and All the teachers/interested students that want to learn!
Setting: Big Library + branches out depending on what the teachers want to do with the lessons. Note that the library is only a starting point so feel free to take it beyond the library!
Format: Up to You
Summary: Ishtar sets up the program that Hei wanted to set up for a while, but he was feeling unwell, so she took over.
Warnings: TBA

[ As promised. In the library, there were signs giving off the subjects of the teachers and what they were teaching along with the name of the teachers. Ishtar tried her best to organize it so that the hug library was of good use. She spaced the areas off so that there weren't too many noises coming from one professor, and she even made sure to provide them information if they so need it.

She stretches a bit and prepared herself for what will happen next. She knew Hei was a lot better at this than she was, but she did her best. She hoped it would work out. ]

[ ooc: general mingle log for the teachers that volunteered for Hei's Teaching Program/School Program. For those who volunteered, there's a spread sheet provided here and for new teachers interested, just sign up at post here. Once you sign up go ahead and tag your subject line, or if it's not there feel free to create the subject like etc. For organizational purposes, I will link the specific threads later when they become too hard to find. Enjoy and I hope everyone has a blast. If any other questions needed, feel free to direct them to me or Final! ]

Possibly..but records got lost, over time. Wars, fighting, and time caught up with the accounts, and eventually, people forgot. It did not help that humanity moved far away from Earth eventually.

[culbutiri]

Right. [She nodded] But these philosophers they did no be knowing about other planets yet.

[lightofhumanity]

They knew about a few, but their understanding was limited, since they did not understand much about the world.

[culbutiri]

Which was why they did be trying to learn yes?

[lightofhumanity]

Yes. Which brings us back into the lesson. As philosophy kept going a little, people started thinking about what the universe was made out of. Out of curiosity, what do you think they thought it was made of?

[culbutiri]

Rock, fire, water and air. [Unless they were stupid, then she had no idea what they thought. It wasn't like it was difficult to work out.]

[lightofhumanity]

[chaos nodded for a moment.]

Good. One of the beginning philosophers, a man named Empedocles, had the same view of the world-that it was made up of earth, air, fire, and water. Other philosophers thought that everything was made up of just one or two elements.

People like Empedocles were called cosmogonists, as they were trying to figure out what the cosmos was made up of.

[culbutiri]

What elements did they be thinking the world did be being made of?

At least they did be having Empedocles to be telling them the truth

[lightofhumanity]

Some thought that only fire built up the world. Others thought that only water did, and one other thought That water and air made up everything..however, while Empedocles made some progress, he two, was ultimately wrong in the end. There are about 118 chemical elements known, and there are still a few being discovered.

[culbutiri]

No there do be being four... [How on earth could there be one hundred and eighteen elements...]

[lightofhumanity]

Perhaps things are a little different in your universe. However, that was the current situation in my universe.

[culbutiri]

I do be thinking they do be being a lot different. Maybe it do be being because you're people do no be being on earth.

[lightofhumanity]

Perhaps..or because we're in different universes. You forget that we used to live on Earth.

[culbutiri]

No I did no be forgetting. I did be meaning you do no be being on earth anymore and so there might be being more elements.

[lightofhumanity]

..Actually, those were how many elements people discovered when they were on Earth.

[culbutiri]

What do they be being then?

[lightofhumanity]

The things that people know make up the building blocks of life in the universe.

[culbutiri]

Well what do they be, I do no be understanding how there can be so many.

[lightofhumanity]

Helium and Hydrogen are two of the main ones. There are so many in my universe because it is made out of quite a few different things, all hard for most people to understand.

[culbutiri]

She had never heard of Helium and Hydrogen but she nodded, "So eventually did the philosophers be learning this? That they did be being wrong?"

[lightofhumanity]

"Not in their lifetime. Hydrogen and Helium were only discovered long after they were dead, but these first philosophers provided stepping stones for others to work on."

[culbutiri]

Nesir nodded, "So they did be beginning to learn and then other people could be learning afterwards."

[lightofhumanity]

"Exactly. It took people quite a long time and quite a few steps, but they managed it in the end."

[culbutiri]

She nodded, maybe then there could be more elements in her world, that no one had found yet.

[lightofhumanity]

"Now, moving on with the lesson, what can you tell me about numbers and their relation with reality?"
