The good news: it's not ALL figs! Humans have cultivated some commercial varieties that ripen without pollination, so no wasps needed (though one can still wander in if other wild figs grow nearby). It all depends on where your fig came from before hitting your table. (And whether you think that is a risk worth taking)

This study was: Retrospective Birth Dating of Cells in Humans, by K Spalding, R Bhardwaj, B Buchholz, H Druid, and J Frisen (2005) But you can use the Carbon 14 bomb peak to help understand all sorts of things from the authenticity of artwork to the longevity of sharks. Silver linings on a mushroom cloud!

Just in case you weren't brought up Catholic (like me) some extra info: Jesus was supposed to be born in the year 0 and crucified in spring time when he was 33 years old. In 2009 NASA published the complete data set of all the eclipses over 5000 years, from 2000BCE - 3000CE. You can go and look at it yourself (https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/solar.html ) They were made by Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus. Fred Espenak is lovingly referred to on that site as "Mr. Eclipse". Neither of them set out to find the crucifixion date btw, that was proposed by Colin Humphreys and W.G. Waddington. You can read their Nature paper for their justification: "Dating the Crucifixion", 1983.

Some people like to go to beaches. Others like to go geek out over big metal boxes. Whatever floats your boat! 🚢 (Especially if that boat is a massive container ship) The one to read: Estimating the effects of the container revolution on world trade, by D Bernhofen, Z El-Sahli, and R Kneller (2016)

I know the struggle all too well - don't have your glasses, but can't find your glasses without your glasses. Give this trick a try. Game changer.
