Carlos Chesman
Carlos Chesman is a physicist at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) who has recently contributed to a groundbreaking study challenging the conventional understanding of Pedro Álvares Cabral's arrival in Brazil. His research utilizes mathematical modeling and historical documents to propose that Cabral's fleet first landed on the northern coast of Brazil, specifically in Rio do Fogo, rather than the widely accepted Porto Seguro.
