: According to author Terry Pratchett the world is
: actually a disc. No, not only a disc, but a disc that
: lies on the back of a giant turtle floating through
: space.
: This idea made me ponder a bit:
: Is this the true physical shape of the world? Have we
: all been deceived by the simplicity of the world beeing
: a sphere? Shouldn't the physical form of the world to
: some degree mirror how comlex life really is?
: Is there an official ladonian view of the world, or if
: not, what to you all think?
Some of the most complex thing I know is tube-constructs on the decks of oil-supply ships (or tankers).
If you´ve ever seen one you cannot have failed to think "What a mess".
Is the ladonian wiev more like "complex order", or "complex chaos"?
Maybe the shape of the world is so ingenious simple that we find it hard to belive? (Like the shape of a pizza, a doggy poo or geometrical shapes?)
