Ok, I'd like to hear from the FE'ers on this one. (Inspired by a loonar eclipse post)
Anyway, you say the earth is flat and is round, Like a coin.
Now, Does this circular shape happen naturaly.. or was it created. OR is their a force working on it, Causing it become circular (You could lump that with natural I guess..)
Now, If I was to drop molting lead into cold water, It becomes perfectly spherical. As far as I know, no-one can fully explain this, but that is irrelevent.
Now, Assuming the earth is hurtling upward, In a vacuum.. Wouldn't the same effect happen to the earth? 'Causing it to naturally mold itself into a sphere?
