However, his interest in weakening the powers of Israel's Supreme Court has grown in virtual lock-step with his personal legal woes. But the frequency of the Israeli Supreme Court striking down laws is low. From 1995 to 2016, for example, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated legislation about 2.3. times per year, according to the IDI's calculations.

How an Ancient Greek Mathematician Calculated the Earth's Circumference with a Stick and His Brain. While in the mid-20th century, satellites were used to determine the exact circumference of the Earth, which was found to be 40,030 km. Over 2,000 years earlier in ancient Greece, Eratosthenes used a stick and his brain to arrive at nearly the exact figure. He later moved to Alexandria, where he served as the chief librarian at the Library of Alexandria, one of the ancient world's most important learning centres. Eratosthenes' calculation of the Earth's circumference was an impressive feat of ancient science and mathematics, and it laid the foundation for many subsequent discoveries and innovations in these fields.
