39. Incorrect Flat-Earth Theory: The Sun Is A Giant Spotlight, Not A Glowing Orb
At night, you can shine a light on the ground and see a trail of ants running past it as if the light is a giant spotlight. Furthermore, puny little people on Earth are living in pretty much the same paradigm, where we are ants that are being shined upon with a giant spotlight. Where that considerable light would be coming from is a whole other story. Could that mean that ants think there is more than one sun in the sky when they see more than one light shining at a time?
Never mind that the sun is round as well, and not a flat spotlight. Part of the flat-earth theory is that the sun is also a flat disc that shines on different parts of the Earth at other times of the day. If that were true, what would be the purpose of the moon then? How did someone ever come up with that idea is beyond many others’ comprehension. Keep reading, though, to hear more theories people have about the Earth being flat.
