The research, the visuals and the explanation, absolutely wonderful! Brilliant!

Clicking this video and absolutely hyped to hear about those Greek dudes and their trigonometry
@chuckoneill2023
The reason the circumference is so close to 40000 K, is that the size of the earth was the original standard for the meter. It's just, our methods of measurement have improved.

I do feel a little clickbaited by having Simone Giertz on the thumbnail, but it was a really good video that I might not have clicked on otherwise, so...hm.

Wait, you've already had Cleo, Hank, and now Simone on your channel in the first month? Impressive connections you must have. Much more impressive than the algorithm taking this long to let me know you existed. Awesome video! I like the pacing, the info, and the presentation style. It's not everyday my ADHD-addled brain will sit through 14 minutes of things I (mostly) already know just because I enjoy the way it's shown. I look forward to whatever - and whoever - you bring to the table next!
@tomato1656
You explained this without making it complex ,and you were able to keep me curious throughout the video. You guys are fantastic storytellers. Thankyou. It is crazy that you two are perfectly situated to perform that experiment.
@jeouxgentry7733
Super-impressed with the artful effects. The overlapping text to illustrate a face particularly caught my eye.
@lexthanexpected
As a GIS analyst I knew all this but you broke it down great and helped more people understand. Good stuff

Imagine my surprise when I found out that you're living in my home city Bogotá, awesome experiment, awesome channel, subscribed from day 1
@leahvashevko
Love the visuals! One thing: maybe hold for one more beat after an explainer animation finishes playing before cutting away. Like at 7:38, give a second to look at the different lengths before cutting to Adam.
@kw43562
The visual effects in your videos are incredible!!
@geekgee
Noticed a thumbnail with Simone in my recommendations, watched, liked and subscribed. 👍👍
@revealist8477
These animations, sound, writing...dang. Great explanations created with words and images
@angushenderson
I’ve been going back through and watching all of these howtown videos. You guys are fantastic! Pacing, communication, visualisations, enthusiasm for the content, research, I can’t fault it! Truly fantastic videos to watch for curious minds

5:10 We also need to consider the accuracy of the guy Eratosthenes hired to pace out the distance Syene?
@powerverwirrt
I loved this video but I noticed that the official captions are off a lot of the time, so the automatically transcribed ones ended up being much more accurate. Maybe something to look into?
@Jonas-l9t1r
Adam is standing in beautiful La Rochelle in the intro (if anyone was wondering)! 🇫🇷 Keep up the amazing work, I’ve only come across your channel a few days ago and already binge-watched most of your videos. This is science communication brought to perfection! Cheers and thanks ❤

the first homework we gave to my students back in 2020, was to measure the circumference of the earth. we were able to ask that of them because Chile is pretty much a straight line and because of the pandemic we had students from all over the country.
