Many centuries ago, man believed that the Earth was flat. Over timeโฆscientific minds took over, and through astrology, space science, and other irrefutable factors, man learned to accept the reality that our planet was indeed spherical ball. Then, those who deny science decided to go all renegade and go back to the flat-Earth concept becauseโฆwhy the hell not.
However, even that isnโt good enough for some people. So, thereโs a new concept thatโs getting some attention concerning the shape of the planet we all call home. For that, we go to the Flat Earth Society message board โ and thatโs a lively bunch, we must tell you.
Itโs there that we meet someone named Varaug. We donโt know if Varaug is a man, woman, or alien being. We do know, however, thatโs heโs been pondering a new concept as to the Earthโs shape. He thinks our planet might be in the form of a โtorus.โ For those who arenโt familiar, thatโs what use lesser-educated Earthlings would call โdonut-shaped.โ Varaug does concede, though, that โlight is curvedโ so itโs โhard to tellโ if his theory holds water. Itโs something to think about โ just for not very long.
