Scientific regression Memes

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. The man calculated Earth's circumference to within 10% accuracy using basically the ancient equivalent of a sundial and some math, while modern flat-earthers ignore literal pictures of our planet from space. If scientific regression were an Olympic sport, we'd have gold medalists everywhere.
