Simply inviting Gauss and Weber to work at the England Electromagnetic Telegraph Company is no big deal, but a while ago they both went out of their way to write to Arthur, chatting about this year's latest developments in the European Natural Philosophy circles.
Especially Gauss, who praised Arthur's suggestion from years ago in his letter: to determine whether we live in a standard Euclidean geometric space by measuring whether the angle between two stars and the Earth is 180 degrees.
After multiple measurements and calculations over 2 years, Gauss finally reached a shocking conclusion—the angle between the two stars and Earth is not 180 degrees, suggesting that the world we live in is a non-Euclidean geometric space.
However, because this conclusion was so astonishing, Gauss initially suspected the observational precision of the Gottingen Observatory.
