Ok so this is cool but I always wondered how they knew the shadows were different at the same instant. I mean it is not like they had phones. How did they sync up that instant. I feel like that would be interesting to know but no one ever says.
^^^Does anybody know this one? How, that far apart, the time at which the shadows were observed was synced up? I am genuinely curious, not a goddamn moron asking a gotcha question. High/Low tide? (I live in the middle of the country I do not know for the precise habits of tidal activity.) The appearance of a star (or planet) in the sky? Something as utterly mundane as sunrise?
Well, first of all, it wasn’t actually pillars! Eratosthenes was told about a well in Syene that, in the summer solstice every year (June 21st) would be illuminated at the bottom entirely and without any cast shadows. This indicated that the sun was directly overhead. Going off that well known curiosity and an intelligent hunch, our dude Eratosthenes waited until high noon of the summer solstice to measure the angle of a shadow cast by a stick in Alexandria. (Sidenote: Eratosthenes was a librarian of the infamous Library of Alexandria.)
His next course of action was to hire bematists, surveyors of the time whose professional specialty was to measure distance by walking with equal length steps. They measured a distance between Alexandria and Syene of about 5000 stadia. (Guess where the word stadium comes from.) Once he had that measurement, Eratosthenes did his math-y thing, and there you have it.
ANSWER EVEN COOLER THAN I HOPED!!
Eratosthenes’ work was thorough enough that by the time he finished revising his calculations, he ended up only 66 km off of the actual polar circumference of the Earth, or an error margin of 0.16%. [wiki]

Nunca pito con el coche. Odio la gente que pita con el coche. El claxon está para tocarlo cuando pasa algo grave, cuando vas a atropellar a alguien o algo así. No sé. Mi novia dice que tengo que pitar más, que si alguien se mete en mi carril sin intermitentes tengo que pitarle y gritar dentro de mi auto que su puta madre le dio de mamar leche agria de sus pechos y ahora se ha quedado subnormal y no sabe hacer una incorporación decente, pero yo qué sé. Yo pienso que igual no me ha visto o que a lo mejor tiene una reunión importantísima en su trabajo y llega tarde. Trato de empatizar con los conductores. Creo que si eres un cretino conduciendo también eres un cretino en la vida. El otro día mi novia fue a la peluquería y al volver a casa yo le pregunté qué tal y todo eso y ella me gritó mucho porque le habían cortado un poco más de pelo del que ella quería, me dijo que solo quería sanearse las puntas y que por lo visto nunca te puedes fiar de un peluquero. Luego lloró durante dos horas. No sé, no abuses del claxon cuando conduzcas y usa los intermitentes. Tampoco pagues el pato con tus seres queridos cuando tienes algún mini problema en tu mierda de vida porque entonces tiene pinta de que eres un taxista en Madrid conduciendo un gasolina. En realidad los taxistas me caéis bien pero mi novia no. Buen inicio de semana. _____________________________________________ #lunes #robtier #conduces #mal #gilipollas #albacete #peluqueros #taxistas #y #escritores (en Albacete) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0MoSiEoQtr/?igshid=18wxd8fyoh530
Esta foto es de cuando @cris_mjb gano el primer premio de cómic de el centro joven de #Albacete , @gorrionmojao gano el segundo premio de ilustración y yo el el primer premio de microrrelato. Estoy muy feliz de tener como amigos a estos pedazo de artistas y creo que jamás en mi vida podré compartir un premio con ellos pues su nivel es acojonante. Os quiero chavales. Me encantan estas fotos (en Albacete) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0I0NVvIO8z/?igshid=1fd4ln4mqrtb5
