:13:36
Unfortunately, that is precisely
where our opinions differ.
:13:41
You're familiar with Aristotle?
Eratosthenes? Ptolemeus?
:13:44
l am, Your Eminence.
:13:47
So you can't ignore their
calculations that the circumference
:13:51
of the Earth is approximately
22,000 leagues or more...
:13:55
making the ocean uncrossable.
:13:58
But you...
:14:00
may have found new evidence
proving these great men mistaken!
:14:10
You are aware of Marin de Tyr?
:14:14
We are.
:14:16
Then you are also aware that
his theories contradict Ptolemeus...
:14:21
De Tyr believes the ocean to be
only 750 leagues.
:14:25
Toscanelli...
:14:27
and the French Cardinal D'Ailly,
both think De Tyr
:14:31
is accurate in his calculations.
:14:35
Therefore the ocean can be crossed.
:14:40
Silence!
:14:41
Gentlemen, are we here to examine
this man's proposal, or not?
:14:48
Let's suppose the moment...
:14:49
Marin de Tyr is right.
ln your opinion,
:14:53
how long would it take?
:14:56
Seven weeks.
:14:57
Six, during the summer.
:14:59
De Tyr is wrong.
