: 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?
: dolores capitis non fero. Eos do
A human being has rather a complex construction from inside, yet it is quite simple from outside - not a single exceeding detail!
So the physical shape of the world can be rather plain from outside, yet contain an extreme compexity from inside.
Perhaps a Ladonian should look upon the world as he or she would look upon the human being..?
