well, since BMX inspired me with his almightly big ego on the topic of this matter, i decided to come up with a question for him. other people too, are welcome to try and solve it. but just no finding your answers on the web!
and the question is:
what was the number one biggest reason did people figured out to prove that the Earth is not flat but indeed round?
Because at different places in the world, the shadow cast by a vertical pole at noon of the same day was different. In one place the pole may not cast a shadow, while in another, it does. If the world were flat the differences in the shadow would not be noticable.
they put someone sitting on an island and have a ship to travel to that person if the earth is indeed flat he would see the entire ship getting bigger but if it was round then he would only see the top of the ship and then slowing the rest. way simplier then you thought it'll be eh?
It's physically impossible for you to lick your elbow when intact to your miserable body.
