But that obviously depends on assuming the Earth is a perfect sphere, which it's not, right?

Yeah, that's right. It bulges because it's an oblate sphere, right? Exactly. And so all these things that were relics, we want to get rid of them and tie them to fundamental properties of, say, a quantum system that's very pure and we can isolate it. We don't want to use a pharaoh's foot either, so we have to come with a link standard and

So now we use the speed of light times the second and we can define things in those terms. But back then, yeah, so they didn't know that. But I told Joe, as I said, if you measure the base of all the great pyramids at Giza, they're all multiples of a cubit times so many numbers of the number pi. So like – but pi wasn't known to them.

Pi wasn't known to be irrational until the Greeks and Euclid proved that it was irrational and that it didn't come from a computational – it couldn't easily be obtained from – it had infinite number of digits, right? So how did these Egyptians know that? An alien told them, no. The way they did it is they laid it out. They used a surveyor's tool.

One of the surveyor's tool is a stick with a wheel on it. So the wheel's a circle. So you got so many multiples, they just counted. And that's how, so we confuse a lot of things.

Exactly, right? They walked all over. So you don't have to always posit supernatural explanations for things. The answer is simply, we don't know. I certainly don't know how Stonehenge was built, nor do I know how the pyramids were built. But it's not, you would have to convince me that it was built by some other means other than people and the tools that were available to them. Likewise.

I don't remember how we got on this. So we were marching through.
