"...they changed the world and so can you." - Teryl Cartwright
God created light for example, with characteristics that He wanted: speed,
temperature, brightness and so on. People researched it and understood how
it works.
Jesus creates secrets (our material world) like light, water (can be in
gas, solid and liquid states) and others. And humans expected to research
those secrets - light, water, gravity, everything that exists.
So, God and science are not enemyes, on the contrary God supports the
science. - Костя Друг

What I don't understand (someone help) in Eratosthenes' story is:
1. The Earth being pretty immense, how is it possible to capture the angle
of its circumference on such a small scale? I mean wouldn't it be
considered pretty much flat unless you do it by measuring a significant
portion in order to actually capture the angle?
2. On the smaller scale the Earth also has valleys, not just plains.
Wouldn't it be likely that the ground would be at a slight angle. I mean
the earth isn't just a perfectly smooth globe.
Obviously not trying to contend anything. Just a boy trying to learn :3 - Vlad Levitt

discovery- the backstory. - mylovofvideo

You do realise that a huge part of te brain is made for muscle control,
right? Also, it could apply to when you look at one specific time, for one
particular task. This is only because for different things we have to use
different parts of the brain. Other parts of the brain are not set up to do
those things. Furthermore, do you really think evolution would have allowed
that? - Candoran2
