Yesterday, I had one of the most interesting conversations of my life with a friend. He's convinced that the earth is flat and is even building a rocket in his backyard to try and prove it. Now, I know what you're thinking - how could someone be so convinced of something that has been scientifically proven time and time again? But honestly, I was more amused than anything else.
As we chatted, my friend raved on about the government and how they manipulate our minds to make us obedient. It was all a big conspiracy, he said, and the flat earth theory was just the tip of the iceberg.
The next day, I received a call from him telling me that his rocket had taken off successfully. I was impressed but still doubtful of his theory. But when he sent me a picture of the earth from space, my jaw dropped.
The earth was shaped like a donut! I couldn't believe my eyes, and I couldn't explain how or why this was happening. But one thing was for sure, my friend's theory might not have been completely right, but it wasn't completely wrong either.
As I sit here pondering on this new discovery, I can't help but wonder what other secrets the universe holds. What else have we gotten wrong, and what else will we discover as we continue to explore the vastness of space?
