Flat earth or round earth?

 


 

Tom is staring at the sky, squinting. 

Tom:" You ever just… look out there and think, “maybe the Earth isn’t round"? 

Arnold: "Oh no. Not you too." 

Tom! "I mean, look! It’s flat. I can see everything. No curve. Just… ground". 

 Arnold: "Tom, that’s called "your field of vision." "You’re not an astronaut; you’re sitting next to a hot dog stand." 

 Tom: "Okay, but if the Earth is round, why don’t people fall off the bottom?" 

Arnold: "Gravity. It pulls things toward the center of mass". 

Tom: "I thought gravity was just a suggestion". 

Arnold: "And I thought you passed high school". 

Tom: "I did! Barely! But I passed"! 

Arnold: "Look, the Earth is round. Not because I believe it, because physics, satellites, space photos, airline flight paths". 

Tom: "Yeah yeah yeah, 

Arnold, but… what if it’s just a really big pancake"? 

Arnold: "Then I’m flipping you off it."
