In this episode, we look at how medieval scholars dealt with the Great Mortality, and then at the economic upheaval left in the wake of the plague.

Content warning: This episode is rough. It is the period of the Great Mortality, and people react very badly to it. Anti-semitism is rampant, and religious fanatics wander the land, beating themselves bloody. And, others party like there's no tomorrow (which was statistically the case).

Tristan Palmgren has lots of thoughts, and they're *all* worth hearing. Author of The Unity series books, "Quietus" and "Terminus," Palmgren joined us this week on the podcast to shop talk such lightweight topics as time, feudalism, colonialism, and the function of genre in science fiction and fantasy. A thoughtful and wise human being, Palmgren takes the doors off of restrictive ways and means of thinking. And of course, we talk about "Star Trek"! We also talk about Carl Sagan's "Contact," Barbara Tuchman's "A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century," as well as Kim Stanley Robinson's "Antarctica," "Aurora," and "The Martians," a story collection which comments on and even inverts some of the premises of Robinson's Mars trilogy. We talk about Padme's adventures in the Galactic Senate, storytelling shortcuts, and the appropriate way to segue. You can find out more about Tristan at https://www.tristanpalmgren.com.

In this episode, we discuss the transition of European astronomy from the 13th century to the end of the 15th century.  We spend some time taking a look at the effects of The Great Mortality on the institutions of Europe and consider the factors of the rediscovery of atomism, the development of the printing press, the Fall of Constantinople and the rise of the new universities of central and eastern Europe in creating the conditions that would allow for new ideas to develop and spread.  We then conclude by looking at the work of Georg Peurbach and Johannes Muller that brings a full and complete understanding of the Hellenistic model Ptolemy.

We look at the rediscovery of astronomical texts by western Europe from the time of the Plague of Justinian to the Great Mortality.  The work of Martianus Capella, Isidore of Seville, Gerard of Cremona, Averroes and Johannes of Sacrobosco is examined and placed in a wider historical context.

In this episode, we look at how atomism survives 1500 years of opposition and neglect to reemerge after The Great Mortality.
