yes of course.

They didn’t publish many papers back then

He did his calculations assuming Earth was a sphere and the sun was very large and very far away (i.e. parallel rays)

I'm talking about these "better tools" that we have now

please send information about these "tools" in the form of a scientific publication. thanks 😉

should be many dozens by now...

if not hundreds.

but one will be fine

What about trigonometry? By finding the angle between a plain and a mountain top, as long as you know the height of the mountain top, and the dip angle, you can simply apply the laws of sines

Still didn’t give perfect results, but it was close to what Eratosthenes calculated

The reason why a perfect calculation couldn’t exist back then it because they didn’t know the Earth wasn’t a perfect sphere (due to its rotation)

But that fact also gives more ways to calculate it

great. just waiting on that information on the new methods and the paper. thanks

Doesn’t matter. You can find it yourself. Proof usually stays true no matter how much time passes

16:48] Ledgic: A sphere is 180 degrees so

you could have stopped there

I meant 360 obvs

Not that you’d have any idea about what I’m talking about anyway

hi fephd, this guy is a good example of a glober

yo flat earthers

So no one cares about proof hey

fg=mg

prove that

hello firefox

if the earth is flat then why does fg=mg

because f=m

That has nothing to do with Earth being flat or round...

ok

Yes of course it does

why would gravity be mutually exclusive to a flat-surfaced Earth?

It’s not

You can calculate f=ma on any planet

Even small asteroids

if the earth is flat why is it a sphere

🤔

Maybe it’s on its side

earth is orb boy

I know
