So while scientists have been verifying this stuff for thousands of years, you’re going to go with “apparently they made it up” without even verifying it?
This is exactly the problem. The “experts” and “scientists” say it is so, therefore “do not question”. Exhibits top down hierarchical control and supression of questioning (anti-human AND anti-science) rather than easily explainable and logical conclusion. Thus, suspicious.
Sure there are plenty of non-scientists who defer and don’t question because they assume the scientists are right, but the problem is that many of people questioning established science these days barely understand the basic concepts.
What is the “easily explainable and logical conclusion” if not the one put forth in this video?
I love alternate theories, but they still have to stand up to scrutiny. Claiming it’s suspicious just because it’s “science” is pretty dumb.
It is easily explainable and logical. The problem is that some people object to learning facts that are contrary to their presupposed "common sense." (Do heavy objects fall faster than light objects? Galileo wants to know.)
So you’re going to go with that broken record comment that everyone who is afraid to investigate says? Bro, I AM verifying it. You’re watching me in the process of verifying it. And for the entire time I investigate this and every other tough to swallow consideration, I have to listen to people like you say your unthinking programmed comments on repeat. And I’ll happily do it.
I hadn’t seen this video or heard of Eratosthenes’ experiment until now. The thing is I can do this experiment myself to verify it if I want to. Heck, as a former architect who’s had to do countless sun studies, I can basically do it in my head right now (of course, I’d bust out a pencil and paper or AutoCAD if it seemed the slightest bit fishy).
I like knowing the truth and how things work, and would be very interested if you could prove either that this experiment is wrong or that this historical figure was made up, but simply an “apparently this is fake” from a stranger on the internet holds no weight with me.
I’ll take your reluctance to provide your verification as a concession though. Thanks.

You are clearly not a scientist.
Good argument.
A broken clock can be right twice in a day. Also the boy who cried "Wolf!" did tell the truth once.

Great! Get back to me when you’re done verifying this and I’ll take you seriously.
No you won’t. You are the type who only takes seriously what you already believe.
