Chapter 369 Ying Zheng: Is the earth round? Can’t they do it with their heads down?
"No, the earth is round!"
Zhao Long laughed, looked at Ying Zheng and said, "As long as his area is large enough and he has land in most time zones, then the sun will never set!"
"The Earth is round?"
Ying Zheng was stunned after hearing this.
"Whether it's round or not, what does it have to do with us?"
Li Si was also stunned after hearing this.
"Um...what is Earth?"
Meng Yi was even more stunned after hearing this.
kindness?
What am I?
After hearing the words of the three people and seeing their reactions, Zhao Long was also stunned.
"Didn't I say that?"
Zhao Long said in surprise.
"No ah……"
"Sir, this earth..."
Ying Zheng asked, "What kind of ball is it? Where is it? And what does it have to do with the sun?"
"Well, that's it..."
Seeing a lot of confusion on the expressions of Li Si and Meng Yi, Zhao Long could only smile and said, "Let me explain to you, this earth is our planet..."
"What's a planet?"
"It's the land beneath our feet, the earth."
Zhao Long explained, "The earth is our world. There are countless planets outside. All the land is actually a big sphere. Have you seen the moon? The moon is also a sphere!"
What?
ball?
The ground under your feet is a ball?
The moon is also a ball?
Are there countless balls in this world?
Hearing Zhao Long's explanation, Ying Zheng and the others were extremely shocked.
"Sir, this..."
The three of them looked at the ground. Although the terrain was not flat, with many ups and downs, it didn't look like a ball.
"Sir, are you joking?"
Ying Zheng was surprised, sighed and asked, "Although this land has mountains, it is endless. How can it be a ball? Ball, then we must not fall down?"
"It is also!"
After hearing this, Li Si nodded in agreement.
If a person steps on the ball, wouldn't it mean that his feet are unstable and he can easily fall?
"Of course it's not."
Zhao Long smiled and pointed to the ground, "For example, this mountain is not flat. At this moment, we are all standing on this mountain peak, and we are all standing firmly. Old Zhao, if you stand on
Can you stand firmly on the tip of a small knife?"
"Of course it's difficult..."
Ying Zheng sighed and shook his head after hearing this.
"Yes, as long as the object is big enough, it's no problem."
Zhao Long smiled and said, "That's pretty much the truth. Moreover, can the ants on this mountain know how big the mountain is? I don't know, how high is it? Difficult! Therefore, the size of the mountain has no direct impact on them. They only know how big the mountain is.
It's enough if it's big enough. Compared with the entire earth, we humans are too small, so we can't feel that it is a ball."
"But it is so..."
"besides……"
Zhao Long said, picked up the ruler, raised the pen and drew a line, "Old Zhao, look, is this line straight?"
"Well? Let me take a look..."
After hearing this, Ying Zheng stepped forward and took a look, "Of course it's very straight!"
I measured it all with a ruler, and it was naturally straight.
"Well……"
Saying that, Zhao Long made another stroke with his bare hands, "What about this one?"
"Straight, oh, sir, you are so skillful with your hands. You can draw so straight without using a ruler."
When Ying Zheng saw this, he said again.
"Haha, it looks straight, but actually it has curvature."
As he said that, Zhao Long picked up the ruler and marked it. Ying Zheng and the others stepped forward to take a look. Sure enough, compared to the ruler, the back end of the marked line was indeed a little off.
"Oh, it's true!"
"This is the error of the naked eye."
Zhao Long smiled and said, "It looks straight, but it's actually crooked. Human eyes can sometimes be deceptive. We think the ground is flat and stable, but that's because the ground is too big! The earth is too big.
We personally cannot feel or see its curvature, so we believe that the sky is round and the earth is flat."
"Is that so?"
"It's really a great experience..."
"The earth is actually round. How true and how absurd..."
The three of them sighed again after hearing this.
"its not right!"
Suddenly, Li Si realized something and suddenly asked, "Sir, this is wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Long laughed after hearing this and said, "If you don't believe it, just turn around and I'll show you a popular science video... It's a pity that there is no Internet here."
"No..."
Li Si pointed and said, "Since it is a circle, there are high and low, up and down! If so, then we have our heads facing up. Could it be that people in other places have their heads facing to one side, or else?
Are there any that are upside down?"
What?
Head down?
After hearing Li Si's words, Ying Zheng and Meng Yi were also stunned.
yes!
That makes sense!
Since it is a ball, then people in our Daqin have their heads facing upwards. Could it be that people in other places have their heads facing down?
"Sir, is that so?"
"Um... Old Four, if you can think of this, that's pretty good..."
After hearing this, Zhao Long smiled dryly and said, "But that's not the case. Everyone feels that their heads are upside down."
"Everyone feels like they are upside down?"
Li Si was confused after hearing this.
Why is this?
"Sir, didn't you say that this land is a ball?"
Since the earth is a ball, then we are on top and others are on one side and below, right?
Could it be that their heads grow down there?
