Question: What was done to control the population of the country of the philosopher who accurately described evaporation?

Han-era astronomers adopted a geocentric model of the universe, theorizing that it was shaped like a sphere surrounding the earth in the center. Although others disagreed with his model, Wang Chong accurately described the water cycle of the evaporation of water into clouds. 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. <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> The one - child policy, a part of the family planning policy, was a population planning policy of China. It was introduced in 1979 and began to be formally phased out near the end of 2015 and the beginning of 2016. The policy was only enforced on Han Chinese and allowed exceptions for many groups, including ethnic minorities. In 2007, 36% of China's population was subject to a strict one - child restriction, with an additional 53% being allowed to have a second child if the first child was a girl. Provincial governments imposed fines for violations, and the local and national governments created commissions to raise awareness and carry out registration and inspection work. <SEP> the goal of the burmese constitutional referendum of 2008, held on 10 may 2008, is the creation of a "discipline-flourishing democracy". as part of the referendum process, the name of the country was changed from the "union of myanmar" to the "republic of the union of myanmar", and general elections were held under the new constitution in 2010. observer accounts of the 2010 election describe the event as mostly peaceful; however, allegations of polling station irregularities were raised, and the united nations (un) and a number of western countries condemned the elections as fraudulent. <SEP> the european colonisation of the americas describes the history of the settlement and establishment of control of the continents of the americas by various european powers. starting in either the 10th or 11th century, when west norse sailors explored and briefly settled on the shores of present - day canada, according to icelandic sagas, violent conflicts with the indigenous population ultimately led to the norse abandoning those settlements.
