On the contrary, Jean-Francois Kerre`, the earth is not flat, but like the inside of a bowl, with the horizons curving UP, not down. It is only refraction from excessive amounts of water vapor in the atmosphere that causes the apparent inversion and optical illusion that the curvature of the earth signifies that the surface of the earth approximates that of the surface of a ball.
The sun is a huge flashlight that some really gigantic being is holding above our heads, to blind us should we chance to glance upward.
Well, that is at least as good as Al Gore’s explanation.
“On the contrary, Jean-Francois Kerre`, the earth is not flat, but like the inside of a bowl, with the horizons curving UP, not down.”
Yeah, and from my point of view there are quite a few turds that need to be flushed.
Not only is the Earth flat, it’s also carried on the back of a giant tortoise swimming through the cosmic ether for eternity.
And yes, it’s turtles all the way down.
