Love it. As I was reading, I had a thought, perhaps from the same place that your "flat earth" question comes from: What if, as in the same way we humans can exist as Beings of Light in some other dimension (bear with me and allow the vocabulary, just to make a point), why might not the Earth be "an oblate spheroid" as Stegiel describes it below, in THIS dimension, and "flat" in another?

Well, hypothetically, anything is possible. Maybe both dimension came together as CERN started smashing atoms together and Mandella really died in the eighties, but in the flat earth. All I know is that in my dimension it was always "Looney Toons" not this "Looney Tunes" nonsense that I'm supposed to just believe was never ever Looney Toons".

This is the lyrics for one my favourite songs "Drunken Physics" by Cancer Bats. For years I had no idea what they really talking about, but now i'm starting to get an idea.

Let the hadrons collide!

Chaos boils down to a theory

Of the random acts that take place

Not aligned not inclined to the prediction

'Cause I know that even asteroids can burn

Yeah lay the blame as you will

But there's forces far beyond nature

That law, that draw called gravity

Don't even get me started on light

Divided we fall apart, there's safety in numbers

Put my faith in the stars, in the cosmos

Action conducts a reaction

Every blackhole starts from a star

They shatter that matter goes 2D

Ah I think I need to re-read that part

Yeah that night on the highway

When we both saw the hadron collider

I swear right there our minds were blown

I didn't even know what it was

Been space invaded, had that mother blow my mind

Been space invaded, it happens to me every time

There's eleven dimensions

In a brief history of time

Blackholes aint so black

Past, present and futures collide

There's eleven dimensions

In our brief history of time

Elementary particles

Let all the uncertainties ride

Let the hadrons collide!

What a set of excellent beautiful lyrics.

Participation of strong interactions even if we as humans not are quarks is almost as melodic as the lines in this song.

See yourself as a twinkling star robdubya as your mind is open and susceptible.

Will watch the links you put up.

Not yet. Rarely vid. Text guy. Earth is of course an oblate sphereoid. https://earthhow.com/shape-of-the-earth/

Thats what i've been told for years, and i'm still inclined to believe it, though I don't suppost i'll ever truly know it.

Antiquity viewed the heavens as flat. Hence the 4 corners of the world.

Have you seen the films Stegiel? They really are worth watching. I think you'd appreciate them.

Sometimes it is best to have faith.
