2. The stupidity baffles me

When we gaze out into space, we see that, in general, astral bodies form into spherical globes because the force of their gravity works evenly around the body. The larger the object, the more likely this globe-like structure will occur.

In the observable Universe, we haven't seen a structure like a flat Earth. Why would our planet be the other one like that?

Stupid people annoy me.
