Bud, the Earth isn't round or flat and some of the stuff we see are not really existing in the current moment. The fabric of reality is ripping apart as our science advances. The world is crumbling at this very moment, and the thread to sow the tears are ripped over and over, and soon the realms will collide with demons and all sorts of things humanity has created, either by experiment, or even only thoughts, and soon nothing of us will be known to anything out there because the world will be long gone before we find a solution to the worlds problems, and yet we won't know if we will even find a solution since what lies in the afterlife is clearly unknown, and possibly we are already dead now and we are in purgatory for all of our dreadful sins, but we don't know if such purgatory even exists, or even if we truly exist, and we could be in the matrix for all we know, but we don't even know if such things exist, like our thoughts could just be sent by whatever deities exist out there. We could even be guinea pigs and rats to such gods. But they might not exist and we are all slowly losing it as fast as we are losing this planet we live on which may not be Earth for much longer.
