Ancient Genius Meets Modern Ignorance
Imagine figuring out the Earth is round with just sticks and shadows, and then 2200 years later, people with satellites and GPS are like "nah, it's flat." Poor Eratosthenes is rolling in his ancient Greek grave so fast he could power Alexandria for a century.

If scientific regression were an Olympic sport, we'd have gold medalists everywhere.
