In the face of overwhelming odds, I’m left with only one option: I’m gonna have to science the shit out of this.
got inspired by @homosexual-having-tea ‘s post about the memes people would make while trying to rescue Watney in the Martian and whipped these up in about five minutes. bon appetite or whatever
Eratosthenes was an ancient Greek mathematician who calculated the Earth's circumference over 2,000 years ago. On the summer solstice, he measured the angle of a shadow in Alexandria, where it was about 7 degrees, while no shadow was cast in Syene. By determining the distance between the two cities and using basic geometry, he estimated the Earth's circumference to be around 40,000 kilometers, which is remarkably close to the modern measurement of 40,030 kilometers.
And it has Carl Sagan in it. The video doesn’t just demonstrate a science fact, but how critical thinking works, asking why and how, then design a way to test if something is true,
The Big Bang Theory, S11 EP14
I think about the Beast Below episode an ungodly amount because it just shows how kind the Doctor is. I know there are other episodes that also show this but Beast Below has my heart.
The fact that the Doctor knew exactly what was going on because a child was crying, then going through everything to see why this was happening. Then the heartbreaking discovery of the star whale. How the star whale came from the stars to help the children- because it was so old and so kind just like the doctor
I know this is like base level stuff but god- such a good episode

I'm actually proud of myself- these past two days I've been fairly productive. I started priming a day prior and its been really effective so far! The info stuck and i found myself able to answer most of the questions the teachers asked during classes
I haven't been insanely productive but to me it's really smth considering the fact that I would go days (and sometimes weeks) without studying back in 11th grade. Hoping this continues :))
