Because the next pope realized Maderno wasn't a very good architect.
His nave ruined the symmetry in Michelangelo's plan and destroyed a building that had stood for 1300 years.

A lot of people are responding to this quote as if its from a teacher, but AFAICT this is a quote from his wife, who isn't (I think?) in a position of authority over teen boys.

This Roman bronze figurine, known as the ‘Little Man of the Treveri’, wears clothing popular in the Moselle region some 2,000 years ago. His hooded cloak protected against cold, wind, and rain.
A charming glimpse of everyday life in Roman times!

ALT My photo shows a small Roman bronze figurine displayed in a museum case with a pink surface at Rheinisches Landesmuseum Trier. The standing figure wears a short, one-piece hooded cloak, fastened down the front, and worn over a short mid-thigh-length tunic, with gaitors and laced shoes. The cloak’s hood has a distinctive pointed tip. The figure’s arms hang at its sides beneath the cloak, with only the hands showing. The figure appears to have held something in its hands. Whatever it held is now lost. The bronze surface is heavily textured with a mottled greyish green and brown patina. From Roman Augusta Treverorum (Trier), height 11.8 cm , dated circa AD 200

China puts data centers in Malaysia to get access to compute they can't get in China due to sanctions. The US puts data centers in Malaysia because every state bans data centers. AGI happens. Malaysia nationalizes all the data centers and becomes the sole hegemon of the world.

As I explained to my astronomy class when we were discussing the classical conception of the universe, if you add enough epicycles, you can match any orbit you want.
Mesmerizing animation by @anish2good answers the burning question of how many spinning circles it takes to draw North America. One circle misses the coast by 1,145km. Ten circles by 352km. 405 circles get's you within 13km.

i remember my past life as a middle neolithic potter but i dont really talk about it because an academic in 1971 said my surviving work was "of noticably poor craftsmanship".
