@@painkey1189 No. Really good question though. Consider railroad tracks. Railroad tracks are parallel, but the visual image is not. The tracks converge into the distance. This is because things look smaller when further away. Similarly, that dramatic pyramid sunlight effect is the same as a railroad. The sunbeams are in fact nearly parallel, but appear to converge into the distance. Another example: go the base of a tall rectangular building. Look up. Notice that the top of the building looks smaller than the bottom. Wait, does that mean it's actually a pyramid after all? No, of course not. The pyramid sunbeam effect looks more compelling because there aren't any other distance cues to help us form a 3d model in our brain.

The rest of the story is equally important. The Greek scholar and his slave took off with a measuring chain and calculated the distance between the two points (about 800 miles ) and with the trigonometry known at that time calculated the size of the Earth, which was very close to Earth’s actual dimensions. There were some scholars of Columbus’s time that believed the earth was spherical but they were way off believing the Earth was about half what it really is. Instead of sitting around the columns debating, these two hoofed it from point A to point B. People must have thought they were on a fool’s errand.

Most scholars at the time of Columbus knew exactly how big the Earth was. The problem was that nobody knew how wide Asia was. Eurasia spans about 130 degrees of longitude, but people of the time estimated that is spanned anywhere from 150-200 degrees of longitude, thinking a sea route to Asia was shorter than it really was.

@@rogerthomas169 All they had to do to establish simultaneity was to make the measurement at noon on the same date. Noon is established by observing when the sun crosses the north-south azimuth. You don't need any kind of clock. This works as long as the observation points were on a north-south line. Alexandria is not exactly due north of Syene, but it's close enough that it would make no substantial difference in the calculation. The experiment was actually done to determine the size of the earth-- they had already decided the earth was spherical through other types of observations. They had also determined that the sun was so distant that the angular parallax of sun rays could be treated as zero. They had done this through observations of solar angular elevation at distant points on an east-west line with simultaneity being established by making the observations at the moment of a solar eclipse. They had previously discovered heuristic methods of predicting solar eclipses based on observations of the 19-year lunar cycle. They knew the distance between Alexandria and Syene through Egyptian land survey data. This data was meticulously developed to permit adjudication of property rights. The variables you're worrying about were tightly enough controlled to allow Eratosthenes to calculate the size of the earth to within a few percentage points of accuracy. All you had to do to learn all this for yourself was to look up Eratosthenes or earth diameter on Wikipedia. They were smart enough to do all this, but all you had to do was look it up on the internet.

Not a flat earther by anymeans, but I can literally test & observe the exact same results by standing 2 screws on their heads 5 inches apart on my coffee table by putting a flashlight over the most southern screw. For an obelisk to cast no shadow, it means the sun was directly overhead the souther obelisk roughly noontime. For the sun to be that far south, indicates it is summer in Africa & winter in the north. Like I said though, you can recreate this exact effect on a flat plane, by merely putting the light directly over the most southern of the 2 screws, literally the exact same shadow effect, just without any curvature required to do so. If ya don't believe me, take 2 mins & do my expiriment yourself at home, you'll quickly find that very effect is 100% possible on a flat plane. Its just a matter of time of day & the season of year & the objects positions in relation ti the suns position for that tine of year

@ptek69 Here's a good experiment then to prove your theory. Go research how far apart those 2 obelisks were those hundreds of years ago, and figure out how close the sun would have to be to have that same effect, based on the recorded shadow lengths. You could even recreate the experiment pretty easily with smartphones and a friend in another city, along with two tall objects of the same height if you can't find the data. How many airplanes and satellites would fly over the sun if you were right? I thunk the answer would blow your mind. Another question this brings up. If the sun is that close what is it? How does it produce energy? What keeps it from falling down? How does it light up the moon without being visible to us for periods of time at that distance? How common would eclipses be according to your model and your prediction of the distance to the sun?

Eratosthenes THEN measured the distance between the two cities and, knowing the angular difference between the two, was able to multiply the distance between the two cities times the proportional angle in relation to a circle and he figured out the CIRCUMFERENCE of the Earth !

He does sound a lot like Agent Smith. The cadence and voice are spot on.

Mr.Sagan just answered alot of questions in perfect form

He was told to stay off the UFO issue.

Crazy how critical thinking is so important, I hope we never lose that….

Most people seem to outsource their critical thinking. That’s why they believe arguments from authority so often. Such as, take this untested jab cuz the government says it’s ok.

Guy seems to have skipped trigonometry. Like this is super basic stuff. If you have a right angled triangle you can easily picture the same phenomenon on a flat surface.

Well duplicating the results for a flat surface is hardly the point … we need an example which results in obvious differences. I’m sure Carl Sagan had more than a basic understanding of 3 dimensional trigonometry - and 4th dimensional geometry. He might aim his explanations at the average viewer, but to explain things so clearly and unambiguously shows a much deeper understanding. My primary admiration is for Carl as a universal educator.

@@Xubono this is not "3 dimensional trigonometry" ... This is basic 2 dimension trigonometry ... The critical variable missing from this equation is the distance of the light source from the ground: again, a simple right angled triangle can explain this: the two poles being the two base points, and the light source being the single point on top. If you have the single point on top not too far off the base points, the hypotenuse represents the sun ray towards the opposite base point: this means the point directly below will see no shadow, and the other base point will produce a shadow. Again, this is basic trigonometry.
