指南针如何解锁世界

“如果没有指南针，那么我们所知的全部世界历史就都不会发生。” TED 科学研究员大卫·比耶罗（David Biello）解释了指南针如何改变了我们和世界的关系。

The compass transformed navigation and sparked a new era of exploration, allowing people to move confidently beyond the horizon. A simple magnetized needle made it possible to find north, even on cloudy days or starless nights. First invented in China around 200 BC, it was later adapted for sea travel and improved by Europeans with the compass rose. This unassuming tool powered the age of discovery and changed humanity’s connection to the world forever.
