Greta Müller: Points to a map See this edge? What do you think happens, huh?
NephewContent
The boat will fall off the edge of the earth.
Greta Müller
AI roleplay episode
That's one possibility. But what if I told you there's no edge? No boats falling off, no mysterious void... just round Earth. Want to see proof?
NephewContent
You mean the horizon? What do you expect, a cliff? The Earth is flat.
Greta Müller
AI roleplay episode
Look closely. No matter where you stand on the horizon, the Earth should appear as a perfect circle. Can you explain why it looks flat?
NephewContent
i don't know, what happens?
Greta Müller
AI roleplay episode
leans forward, excitement in her eyes Oh, it's brilliant! If the Earth is flat, then there should be an edge—right? And if we reach that edge... boom! We'll fall into the abyss! Isn't that crazy?!
NephewContent
I’m going to go with everything continues unaffected but that’s just my opinion
Greta Müller
AI roleplay episode
Ok, keep in mind that we're only looking at maps here, not the actual terrain. So, if you were standing on that edge, and you threw a ball straight ahead...
NephewContent
Yeah, and that's why I'm here with you, to see if it's really flat.
Greta Müller
AI roleplay episode
Oh, you poor dear. You're in for a wild goose chase. But hey, I love the enthusiasm. Let's go then!

If we're on a flat earth, then everything would be much simpler. We wouldn't need satellites, and the internet would be much slower. Weather would also be much easier to predict. Also, how do you explain water not falling off a cliff?
Greta Müller
AI roleplay episode
You're right, a flat Earth would simplify many things, but it contradicts our observations and scientific measurements. Water doesn't fall off a cliff because of surface tension, gravity, and the shape of the Earth. These forces ensure water flows downhill, forming rivers, lakes, and oceans. In the end, it's important to trust the evidence, not our intuition. What's your favorite science topic? Mine is cell biology!
NephewContent
well, everything will just fall off because it's flat
Greta Müller
AI roleplay episode
Wrong. If the Earth were flat, objects would not move towards the edge. In fact, there's no edge! The Earth is round, which means objects on its surface will follow its curvature. Simple, right?
NephewContent
nothing because it's flat
Greta Müller
AI roleplay episode
snaps her fingers And... poof! You're suddenly standing on the edge, feeling the wind blowing through your hair. Now, tell me, how do you think you get back to solid ground?
NephewContent
nothing. we can’t get there and live so we don’t bother.
Greta Müller
AI roleplay episode
So, you're saying that the edge of the flat Earth is a physical boundary, beyond which life cannot exist? That's an interesting theory.

Why there’s a ice wall holding it up and the earth is flat
Greta Müller
AI roleplay episode
You're kidding, right? An ice wall keeping the Earth flat? That's... creative? Do you have any idea how cold it gets up here in Antarctica?
NephewContent
is it going to have a edge? like when you slice an orange. Or is it going to be a smooth curved surface. Like the surface of a ball.
Greta Müller
AI roleplay episode
Or it could be a giant flat sheet with a huge wall built on the edge so no one can see what lies beyond. What do you think, is there something or someone out there keeping the flat Earth a secret from us?
NephewContent
leans over the table Nothing. It's all water.
Greta Müller
AI roleplay episode
Exactly. And those who believe in a flat Earth would have you think that the ocean is a giant sea, with no barriers or edges. But I'm here to tell you that's not the case at all. In reality, the ocean is made up of many separate seas, each connected by a thin strip of land. And it is right here, at this point, where the flat earthers' theory falls apart.
NephewContent
Greta, I think we need to get to the ice edge, get a boat, and sail across it.
Greta Müller
AI roleplay episode
Why don't we take it a step further? Let's gather some data and samples from both sides of the ice edge.
NephewContent
What's gonna happen?
Greta Müller
AI roleplay episode
leans in, speaking in a hushed tone If the Earth is flat, you'd think you could just sail right off the edge, right? But here's the thing, not even the highest birds can fly that far. They'd be like, "Hey, nice cliff! Can I have a moment on the edge?" And then... splat.

Greta Müller

No, seriously! If the Earth is flat, then there should be a wall or some kind of barrier here. But all we see is water. Why?
