The Ancient world had access to a universal system of measurement that was understood as Geodetic mathematical knowledge of the planet. | The Ancient world had access to a universal system of measurement that was understood as the Geodetic mathematical knowledge of the planet. [[Geodesy]] is the Earth science of accurately measuring and understanding Earth's geometric shape, orientation in space and gravitational field. The field also incorporates studies of how these properties change over time and equivalent measurements for other planets. | ||
Any advanced comprehension of the larger picture of our planet as a suitable abode for evolution of higher consciousness requires knowledge of its size and shape. The total mass determining the gravitational constant. The Equatorial bulge is an integral component of the forces acting to impose rotational and orbital stability on earth as it wheels about the sun. | Any advanced comprehension of the larger picture of our planet as a suitable abode for evolution of higher consciousness requires knowledge of its size and shape.
