Rescue Meryl... the "Return of Genola"
have you been to outter space to know that it's round?
Not needed. Anyone can prove that the world is round using nothing but a stick and the obesrvation of shadows cast on the ground by the sun. As an ancient Greek mathematician did over 2000 years ago. :)
Take that Kyrie Irving. lol
They also believed that the Earth is in the center of the universe
In any case, we now know (thanks to Einstien) that there IS no center of the universe. It can be Earth if one would like it to be! :)
Scientifically, It's all about perspective. If you were a cosmic ray proton travelling at 99.99999999999999991% the speed of light, Earth would appear to be only 17 meters thick in the direction you travel. So Earth is flat to them, but round to us. It is ball shape to some observers and flat to others. There isn't appear to be a single most correctest all circumstancest answer.
I refer to this paper; K. G. Suffern, ‘‘The apparent shape of a rapidly moving sphere,’’ Am. J. Phys. 56, 729–733 (1988)
Earth would appear round if you were simply passing by it no matter your speed. If, however, you were directly pointed AT the Earth and were approaching it near the speed of light, the Earth would appear as a paraboloid, like a bowl.
Sorry, still no flat Earth. :)
