    Re: The World is Flat

    I was hoping this topic was about the book "The World Is Flat", which is an interesting perspective on globalization.

        haha

        it's a metaphor man

        A metaphor that refers to "levelling the playing field" in regards to free trade and globalization - through the advent of technological breakthroughs in the way we communicate.

                    big magnet underneath our flat world if you want to think of it that way but really

                    there is a supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy -- it is like a giant suction hole and we're far enough away from it to feel gravity but not so close we get sucked in

                      well that's because airline pilots don't get close

                      part of the confidentiality agreement says that they have to take certified routes pre-programmed to get to their destinations even if nav systems show passengers otherwise. if you kept going you might fall off but nobody ever gets that far because it's just water and so our planes never really get near it because you never need to land a plane near a bunch of water do you

                        The world definitely isn't evenly flat.
                        And remember most of this planet is covered by water, we don't know what the surface is like underwater.

                          right, most of the land is in the middle and the water goes on and on for miles outside of all that
