myrmepropagandist on Nostr: I remember one summer night dad and I were down south visiting family in the country. ...
I remember one summer night dad and I were down south visiting family in the country. The moon was out and huge. He said something I think about often "You know what I worry about?" He said. "If I'd lived long ago before civilizations, would I have been able to tell that the moon is a sphere and not a flat disc?"
My mom thought this was pretty funny. But I don't know when people realized the moon was spherical--
Knowing things is kind of a gift.
