    you should've introduced your friend, the silence was awkward
    just a quick "hey guys bla bla this is X and with her help we will measure the shadow's length"

    Is it just me but for the first measurment (3:25) I see yard stick not pointing up at the right angle (90°)?

    I don't actually believe that the earth is flat or anything, but whenever I see someone talking about the circumference or just referring to the spheroidal shape, my first sarcastic thought is something like, pff, the earth isn't round.
    Incidentally, my own experience of the roundness of the earth came when I went to southern Chile (about 55 degrees south latitude) and I looked at the night sky and the moon and the constellations were upside down. Being 100 degrees south of my normal latitude was pretty amazing.

    Pythagorean Theorem , will give the length of the hypotenuse on a right angle triangle , it doesn't calculate the two unknown angles ! Can you please describe the method used for finding your angle , without using ''tan'' on a calculator ?

    Math is incredible... You only need a length measuring device and a stick to almost know the volume of earth, if you calculate a bit. Great video, but I would have liked to know, who your friend is.

    A couple things:
    1. A couple times you said parallel when I'm pretty sure you meant perpendicular.
    2. They way you say Pythagorean is pretty bizarre to me. Maybe it's just a regional thing, but in all the time that I've been using it, and also watching math related UA-cam channels, I've never heard anyone else say it like that.
    Otherwise, this was one of your more interesting videos, in my opinion. It would be a fun experiment to try for anyone who gets to travel between latitudes.

      I don’t really have any particular tips. You just gotta be passionate and do as much research as you can to try to understand the topic as well as possible.

    This experiment is a total failure. If the light source is smaller and over one spot, the other place would cast a shadow.

    • @vimalramachandran
      @vimalramachandran 4 роки тому +3

      But we know the rays are nearly parallel, which wouldn't be the case if the light source was close & local. Moreover, taking 3 or more points of measurement instead of just 2 also rules out a local Sun.

      The distance separating the Sun and Earth is not relevant. The Sun is distant enough that its light rays arrive here on Earth parallel to one another.
