Please greet him with an applause. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">H: Thank you, it’s an honor to participate in the interview section World History D Show <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">L: It is a pleasure to meet you Mr. Postan. To begin with, can you tell us more about yourself? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">H: Yes, of course. Briefly explaining, I was born in Bendery, Bessarabia and studied at the St Vladimir University in Kiev. I had positions at University College London and at the London School of Economics until I got appointed by the Cambridge University as the Professor of Economic History. My studies were mostly concentrated on the medieval times of Europe. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">L: Ooh~ we got a message from one of the listeners! can you briefly tell us about “Why was science backward in the middle ages” the document you wrote? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">H: hmmm.. It was about my thoughts of why there were no technical improvements during the medieval times compared to the Renaissance period. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">L: So what were your thoughts? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">H: I was getting to that (-_-). I believe it will be better if I could show you what stopped scientists from advancing. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">L: Please go head. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">-INTERMISSION- <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">H; The scene takes place in the Medieval Time. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">J: yay~ I finally discovered the equation of the orbit of Jupiter! <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">L: <Monotone/lower voice>We do not need to take unnecessary paths to explain the movements of the celestial bodies, for the truth lies with god and the bible. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">J: But then, believing that god created everything and that things are the way they are because of god will never change anything! It gives an illogical reason for everything that happens, but that is not able to prove anything. By figuring out the principles of physics, biology, and other pure sciences that teach us more about this world, we will be able to elaborate further about the world we live in today. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">L: <”>Nonsense! Put this crazy thing into jail! <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">-INTERMISSION- <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">J: Hi hi ppl~ I am MC Kwon and I will be in charge of this interview from this point on~yay ..hmmm... ok so <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">ANYWAY~ So does this relate to your document Mr. Postan? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">H: This shows how the medieval scientists were not able to progress with their work because the church stopped them. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">J: Oh~ I C <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">H: but soon, when the renaissance came, scientists were starting to discover things and that’s how the scientific revolution came to be. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Therefore, my essay was about how the medieval people did not have a scientific progress because they did not have an incentive and only disincentives, the church. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">J: oh my gosh gosh, there isn't a single minute left for this pretty pretty beautiful radio show! awwwww...so.... it was nice having u here for this interview Mr. Postan. bye-bye ppl
