According to him, we can imagine modern-day scientists going back 3000 years in the past and meet-
                    ing with people who imagine the Earth is flat. The scientists politely tell them that they are in error on

                    the subject, and that the Earth is actually spherical.
                         These people then ask the scientists, “how could you have come by such an insane idea?” The sci-
                    entists will be unable to provide a single piece of evidence to prove their thesis, under the conditions

                    and state of knowledge of that time. They, on the other hand, are quite capable of explaining that the
                    Earth is flat, on the basis of all their experiments and the evidence they’ve gathered. They use the con-

                    cept of plane geometry to measure out land and chart road maps, and find nothing in this that conflicts
                    with their daily experience. In the same way, when they look at a wide open expanse or the sea, they say
                    that they can see no curvature and so claim that there is no evidence showing that the Earth is round.

                    The idea that “The Earth is round” thus remains a delusion. The scientists return to their time machine
                    and to the present day, without having proved anything.              26
