my pleasure, as I said. As far I can see, the flat earth phenomena is a joke played on the conspiracy theorists in a cruel blow to speculative inquiry on the nature of truth. Science is a lot of ifs and buts. many theories are best guesses and are suitably replaced when someone comes up with a better explanation for a given mystery

OUR FLATLANDERS

are ironically channeling & misinterpreting the work of Edwin Abbott Abbott https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatland

in Flatland

our protagonist, the sphere, challenges the inhabitants of flatland that they are no more than 2D projections of a 3D world. When the sphere is asked could he not be a 3D projection of an object in the 4th dimension, he is insulted. I think we're nearer the truth of being the sphere here..and flatland was written in 1884
