One of the world top astrophysicist

Because, have you ever seen the moon?

Is the moon flat?

Yes. Yes you have

No

@Musko no

Whats the moon?

An oblate spheroid that orbits the earth

No. So why would the earth be but every ither planet not

Here we go 🍿

It makes no sense

@Lee Lushy I'm in

Should everything be round just because the planets are?

Why is my ceiling light round and my floor flat. Come on!

Makes sense to me @Lee Lushy

My floor is round

See

Look

Better start making those asteroids round then lol

Of wait it just looks flat

Its really round

😂

So all planets are flat except the earth

Earth is an Earth

Saturn has rings around it. Why doesn't earth have these rings?

Earth has water

Trees

Life

Why doesn't saturn have trees and water?

It has plenty of gravity right?

Oh you measured it?

If you’ve been next to a port lately, or just strolled down a beach and stared off vacantly into the horizon, you might have noticed a very interesting phenomenon: Approaching ships do not just “appear” out of the horizon (like they should have if the world was flat), but rather seem to emerge from beneath the sea.

So you designed a giant tape measure and measured it

Optical slant angular resolution

But—you say—ships do not submerge and rise up again as they approach our view (except in Pirates of the Caribbean, but we are hereby assuming that was a fictitious movie series). The reason ships appear as if they "emerge from the waves" is because the world is not flat: It's round.

3rd graders think ships dissapear over a curve

And scientists

Which ones?

Scientists lol
