Question: When did the 5th Dalai Lama gain political control over the country which had large amounts of contact with the country the person who described evaporation is from?

sonam gyatso, after being granted the grandiose title by altan khan, departed for tibet. before he left, he sent a letter and gifts to the ming chinese official zhang juzheng (1525–1582), which arrived on march 12, 1579. sometime in august or september of that year, sonam gyatso's representative stationed with altan khan received a return letter and gift from the wanli emperor (r. 1572–1620), who also conferred upon sonam gyatso a title; this was the first official contact between a dalai lama and a government of china. however, laird states that when wanli invited him to beijing, the dalai lama declined the offer due to a prior commitment, even though he was only 400 km (250 mi) from beijing. laird adds that "the power of the ming emperor did not reach very far at the time." although not recorded in any official chinese records, sonam gyatso's biography states that wanli again conferred titles on sonam gyatso in 1588, and invited him to beijing for a second time, but sonam gyatso was unable to visit china as he died the same year in mongolia working with altan khan's son to further the spread of buddhism. <SEP> Wang Chong (; 27 – c. 100 AD), courtesy name Zhongren (仲任), was a Chinese meteorologist, astronomer, and philosopher active during the Han Dynasty. He developed a rational, secular, naturalistic and mechanistic account of the world and of human beings and gave a materialistic explanation of the origin of the universe. His main work was the "Lunheng" (論衡, "Critical Essays"). This book contained many theories involving early sciences of astronomy and meteorology, and Wang Chong was even the first in Chinese history to mention the use of the square-pallet chain pump, which became common in irrigation and public works in China thereafter. Wang also accurately described the process of the water cycle. <SEP> Other historians also assert that these Ming titles were nominal and did not actually confer the authority that the earlier Yuan titles had. Van Praag writes that the "numerous economically motivated Tibetan missions to the Ming Court are referred to as 'tributary missions' in the Ming Shih." Van Praag writes that these "tributary missions" were simply prompted by China's need for horses from Tibet, since a viable horse market in Mongol lands was closed as a result of incessant conflict. Morris Rossabi also writes that "Tibet, which had extensive contacts with China during the Yuan, scarcely had diplomatic relations with the Ming." The late Turrell V. Wylie, a former professor of the University of Washington, and Li Tieh-tseng argue that the reliability of the heavily censored History of Ming as a credible source on Sino-Tibetan relations is questionable, in the light of modern scholarship. <SEP> In 1642, the 5th Dalai Lama (1617–1682) became the first to wield effective political control over Tibet. Rawski writes that Altan Khan's conversion to the Gelug "can be interpreted as an attempt to expand his authority in his conflict with his nominal superior, Tümen Khan." To further cement the Mongol-Tibetan alliance, the great-grandson of Altan Khan—the 4th Dalai Lama (1589–1616)—was made the fourth Dalai Lama. <SEP> india had the upper hand over pakistan when the ceasefire was declared. although the two countries fought to a standoff, the conflict is seen as a strategic and political defeat for pakistan, as it had neither succeeded in fomenting insurrection in kashmir nor had it been able to gain meaningful support at an international level. <SEP> Although others disagreed with his model, Wang Chong accurately described the water cycle of the evaporation of water into clouds. Han-era astronomers adopted a geocentric model of the universe, theorizing that it was shaped like a sphere surrounding the earth in the center. They assumed that the Sun, Moon, and planets were spherical and not disc-shaped. They also thought that the illumination of the Moon and planets was caused by sunlight, that lunar eclipses occurred when the Earth obstructed sunlight falling onto the Moon, and that a solar eclipse occurred when the Moon obstructed sunlight from reaching the Earth.
