I have been wondering what really is the Earth's shape.
Even if I am old, I am also confused, since some of our great philosophers are having an argument about the Earth's shape.
I agree. Plato says that the Earth is cube while the other philosophers said that it is actually sphere.
I think I'm going to believe that it is actually sphere. as Pythagoras is the one who first proposed it and it is believed by many Greeks like us.
But an Earth cube would probably cooler right? Hahaha
Yes but there are more evidences that the Earth is sphere rather than being a cube.
What are those? So I can be convinced that the Earth is actually sphere.
Anaxagoras backed up Pythagoras' theory by observing the shadows produced by the Earth on the Moon during a lunar eclipse and noticing that the shadow is really a circle.
Ooh. That's actually so cool, but I still need more evidences.
The positions of the North Star, the shape of the Moon and the Sun, and the disappearance of ships when they sail over the horizon were among Aristotle's arguments for a spherical Earth.
Even my favorite philosopher, Aristotle, has so many evidences to offer. I think I will read more books about it. Thanks for the information and I know believe that the Earth is sphere.
Our philosophers are great because they shared their knowledge to us. I still have some information to share but I have so many errands. You're welcome and goodbye.
