@velvetcastle: Today’s Fall 2025 Haute Couture show by #schiaparelli featured a mechanical beating heart dress, instantly reminding me of Salvador Dalí’s Royal Heart from 1953, a surrealist jewel with a pulsating centre. Most people aren’t familiar with Dalí’s piece and assume this is the pinnacle of creativity, but is it really new? Given the house’s historic connection to Dalí, is this an homage… or something else? Curious to hear what others think. 🤔 #salvadordali #schiaparelli #schiaparelliheart #danielroseberry #pulsatingheart #appropriation #inspirationvsappropriation #surrealism #daliheart #velvetcastle #royalheart

It’s crazy to me how big designers steal small designers ideas. This heart was introduced by a New Mexican designer called “Grecia Soto” she has a degree in biomedical engineering and she is a well known designer all over Mexico. There’s a big controversy going on because she created this last year and now since Schiaparelli introduced it they taking credit for it 🙃

While Europeans thought Earth was flat... Islamic scholars calculated its exact size. While medieval Europeans debated whether Earth was flat or round, Islamic scholars in Baghdad were conducting the world's first scientific measurement of our planet's circumference. In 1020 CE, the brilliant polymath Al-Biruni achieved something that would make modern scientists jealous - he calculated Earth's size with 99.8% accuracy, a full 600 years before Columbus even thought about sailing west. THE INGENIOUS MOUNTAIN METHOD Al-Biruni's approach was breathtakingly simple yet mathematically sophisticated. He climbed a mountain in India, precisely measured its height, then used trigonometry to calculate the angle to the horizon. With just basic geometric principles, he determined Earth's radius as 6,339 kilometers - compared to today's measurement of 6,371 kilometers. That's more accurate than many modern estimates! BAGHDAD'S SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION This wasn't just one man's achievement. In the 9th century, the Caliph of Baghdad commissioned teams of scholars to travel across the Syrian desert, measuring distances between cities and calculating astronomical angles. They built magnificent observatories, created detailed star maps, and knew not only that Earth was spherical, but calculated its axial tilt at 23.5 degrees. SHOCKING HISTORICAL FACTS: * Islamic scholars proved Earth was round 300 years before medieval Europe stopped debating it * Al-Biruni also calculated that light travels faster than sound * He measured the density of precious metals with remarkable precision * European cartographers secretly used Islamic astronomical data for centuries * The famous Ptolemy maps? Updated with Islamic calculations * Modern trigonometry, algorithms, and GPS principles all trace back to the Islamic Golden Age MODERN CONNECTIONS Every time you use GPS on your phone, you're benefiting from mathematical principles developed in 10th-century Baghdad. The trigonometric functions in your calculator? Invented during the Islamic Golden Age. The algorithms that power your apps? Based on work by scholars like Al-Khwarizmi. THE COLUMBUS MYTH DESTROYED While Columbus stumbled across the Americas thinking he'd reached India, Islamic scholars had already mapped the world with stunning accuracy. They knew Earth's size, its tilt, and even theorized about geological changes like the Indus Valley once being underwater. The next time someone credits Columbus with proving Earth was round, remind them that Baghdad's scholars did it six centuries earlier - with better accuracy, superior methods, and comprehensive understanding that wouldn't be matched in Europe for hundreds of years. #IslamicGoldenAge #AlBiruni #Baghdad #Science #History
