aetos are u flat or globe?
ok well eratosthenes didnt use 3 sticks now did he
No, he didn’t
he used 2 which proves nothing about the shape of earth
ok
is that true
With two sticks the answer is “inconclusive” and based on whatever you assume the shape to be.
Did ya boys not get the memo?
so he proved nothing when it comes to the shape of earth
📝
correct?
He proved nothing, yes
ok
cool
but they say he did prove it
But the concept of his experiment actually works if expanded to include three sticks and shadow angle measurements.
thats like a main globe earth proof but lets move on that is debunked
I go to dreams with a suitcase
ok he didnt use 3 sticks
idc what he woulda coulda shoulda done
I am aware, my point is people have used three sticks and gotten the measurements that match closer to a globe than a flat plane.
well ause they claim everyone knew the eaerth was round since 200 bc
if he had used 3 sticks, he would've found evidence supporting the FE and the GE so the 3rd stick doesn't really matter anyhow
It does
ok doesnt matter
eratosthenes debunked next
jeremy
look
i have a video
i sent it to u
ok ill watch it later
chillin with the fam
Then you can measure side angles from three points and measure the difference in shadows from three points
aetos
you can also use two
Using two points the conclusion must be based on the initial assumption
ok despite his flawed experiment eratosthenes is debunked
u wanna move on'
also the whole story of him is suspicious if u look into it
well, if he only used 2 sticks then i guess it's flawed from the get go
