Ooo now I can briefly introduce something! So, the Earth isn’t expanding and infinitely large. Flatness, for the universe, means that parallel lines remain parallel, the angles of a triangle add up to 180, etc etc.

Cosmologists also came up with cosmic inflation, to explain that any curvature was smoothed out through exponential growth. For the universe to be as flat as it is now, it would have to have been even FLATTER in the past! Think about a spinning top… if there is an imperfection in the setup, it will fall over. Since we don’t observe deviations in the flatness of the universe, it follows that like the top must have been incredibly perfectly set up, the extremely early universe must have been incredibly flat!

Note that a period of inflation helps solve some other problems, but that’s beyond the scope of this post (see the “relic problem,” “horizon problem,” and “structure problem”).

the Earth is locally flat. since flatness is a local property, it follows that the Earth is flat.

I love TOS Star Trek’s slutty little cropped shirts. Their slutty little heeled boots. And no one rocks it quite like the one and only Captain James Tiberius Kirk.

my favorite thing that happens in TOS is when they encounter some weird shit and then sulu turns around to us/kirk to make sure we’re all seeing the same thing. anyways my favorite example of this is when they encounter abraham fucking lincoln.

My 2025 has been like sailor moon… and not in a magical girl transformation way, in a crisis of the week way

Poorly drawn Oshawott line

Its surreal getting a Mr beast ad about how he hates reading in the middle of a video essay on Fahrenheit 451
