Quote Eratosthenes of Cyrene (/ɛrəˈtɒsθəniːz/; Greek: Ἐρατοσθένης ὁ Κυρηναῖος, romanized: Eratosthénēs ho Kurēnaĩos, IPA: [eratostʰénɛːs]; c. 276 BC[note 1] – c. 195/194 BC)[note 2] was a Greek polymath: a mathematician, geographer, poet, astronomer, and music theorist. He was a man of learning, becoming the chief librarian at the Library of Alexandria. His work is comparable to what is now known as the study of geography, and he introduced some of the terminology still used today.[1] He is best known for being the first person to calculate the circumference of the Earth, which he did by comparing angles of the mid-day Sun at two places, a known North-South distance apart.[2] His calculation was remarkably accurate. He was also the first to calculate the tilt of the Earth's axis, again with remarkable accuracy.[3] Additionally, he may have accurately calculated the distance from the Earth to the Sun and invented the leap day.[4] He created the first global projection of the world, incorporating parallels and meridians based on the available geographic knowledge of his era. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eratosthenes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSFB Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 It's a myth that the consensus was that the Earth was flat. That was not a view held by educated people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if we use the same measure of Christian Fundamentalism that people here use for Muslim Extremism then it's a shit ton of Christians.

If you're going to say(as many anti-vaxxers do) that "Mercury bad!" then no scientist is going to entertain the conversation. You’ve missed my point. If you’re going to say “Mercury good” then no concerned person is going to entertain the conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
