Today in class we talked about time. What do you think about when you hear time you probably think about hours, minutes and seconds. Today however we talked about time zones. Time zones have been around for about 150 years. The scintest who thought up the idea was Fleming. However the same guy also proposed a different way of measuring time 3 years earlier. In which he proposed a central clock for the entire world which is a weird idea to us.
1 hellenistic: the blend of greek Indian and middle eastern culture. Alexandria: major city on the nile and was a center of knowledge. Euclid: was a respected mathematician and created the basics of geometry. archimedes: was the scientist that estimated the value of pie and explained how the lever works. colossus of Rhodes: a one hundred foot tall bronze statue. 2 geometry had the biggest achievements as we built on these ideas and use them in many other subjects. 3 when traders came to Alexandria they brought their culture with them. Alexandria learned from them how the lived and their knowledge to mix in with the rest of what they learned. 4 He had made up rules of basic geometry so astronomers used it to estimate the circumference of the earth.
