as for the erth radius my main point is as long as i say earth is 600 km radius based on personal experience i hold more water than other who trusts blindly the system and havent measured it

whats more valuable personal experience or what others say evn if its a majority

News Flash... People tend to like the same things, otherwise we wouldn't have trends.

What's more valuable is fact. I have driven a car more than 600 miles and I didn't circumnavigate the world. To ignore facts simply because you either don't want to understand them or can't is ignorance of the highest order, and a slap in the face to all of the great minds that the human race has produced.

Eratosthenes worked this out hundreds of years ago, quite accuratley. If you wanted to you could recreate his experiment and get the same result, you could, but you prefer to ignore it and are happier with your 600km... Even though you could get in a car right now and drive 600 miles and disprove your own theory/calculation.

600 km radius implies 2*3.1416*600km=3770 km

have you driven 3770 km

and i dont find intelligent obtaining earth radius based on measuring 800 km distance

are you suggesting is true he paid a gold coin to a kid to walk that distance counting steps

that the system agrees this guy was bright doesnt make it to me eyes

in fact i find the method stupid compared to the arab method, more taking into account he had the tower of alexandria avalable

hey i did this and now its on first hits
