He was wrong, actually. Columbus knew that his ships could not sail the entire distance west from Europe to Asia, so he convinced himself that the Earth was pear-shaped, with a smaller circumference in the northern hemisphere (!). He was the luckiest known sonofabitch in history because North America happened to be in the way. He bumped into it just before he ran too low of supplies to return to Europe. And he died believing that he *had* reached Asia. Oh, that "NRG" thingy? Crock of shit. People have been selling similar things for decades.
