Ancient Greeks view about the Earth's shape
Storyboard Text
- Hello, it's very nice to meet you. I'm the flat Earther. You must be the Round Earther.
- That's me! I am very curious to hear your reasons on why you think the Earth is flat. Let's sit!
- The earth definitely flat I have the facts to prove it.
- For example people have been into space how haven't they discovered it? They could be faking space travel.
- They are not faking space travel. They have video of actual people in space on the moon.
- Well the sun moves in circles around the North Pole. When it is over your head, it's day. When it's not, it's night. Which explains night and day cycles.
- Well your wrong about that. Studies have shown that Earth rotates on its axis. This then causes us to experience day and night.
- Ok well the earth isn't pulled into a sphere because the force known as gravity doesn't exist or at least exists in a greatly diminished form than is commonly taught.
- So, why doesn't gravity pull the earth into a spherical shape?
- To be honest we don't know fundamentally what gravity is but we know how it behaves.
- Also we know that is we get enough mass in an area it will pull all that stuff into a roughly spherical shape.
- Ok well finally, people usually ask why are other planets round?
- So I say because the other planet are not Earth. There is no basis to believe that the Earth should be identical to the planets.
- Also some people think that planets are not round either
- Well planets are round because of gravity. So since Earth is a planet it is round.
- A planets gravity pulls equally from each side which make the shape of a planet a sphere.
- So, are you willing to reconsider that the Earth is actually round?
- Nope.
- A planet's gravity pulls equally from all sides. Which makes the shape of a planet a sphere.
