Sunrise: I got the timing right on the way in today, the sun rose over my left shoulder, it lit up the clouds from below, and appeared over the horizon inthe next few minutes. I pondered it right there and then, during the ride along the dual-carriageway. Looking at that sunrise, the earth is clearly not flat. If it was, there could be no underlight clouds, there would bea shadow cast from the earth upwards just before the sun appeared. Imagine shining a light from slightly under a table, at an angle of 89° to the normal, it can’t light the chould layer from below. How come anyone in all of history thought the planet was flat. Not only that, but the Earth’s shadow on the moon curves too. A visit to the seaside watching ships sailaway is the final nail in that coffin, the ancients had the same accesss to these experiences as I , so there is no excuse for the idea ever being aired.
