Hi Julf. Bit late responding but "nevermind". It is a great shame that the inability of our measuring equipment (including the Hasselblad cameras used on the Apollo 8 mission) to detect all the Hilbert space dimensions in which the universe is framed has led philistines to regard the poetically beautiful concept of the Earth being a flat disc supported by an infinite column of blue turtles as "untrue" according to some ignorant "scientific" mumbo-jumbo. What could be more ridiculous from a common-sense viewpoint than the notion that the earth is not only round but has *-nothing-* to hold it up? It would obviously fall down. I'm sure that some of the turtles (any number of them at a time in fact) would welcome some respite from their arduous duties, although our own turtles might discriminate against them because of the colour of their skin if we were to release them into the ocean. So I suppose a decent zoo is the best we could offer... Doubtless one day we will dispense with this ridiculous scientific method which by its own axioms is unable to prove anything, & begin to appreciate the real wonders of our universe once again.
