The Spherical Shape of the Earth
The podcast episode explores the history and evidence behind the spherical shape of the Earth. The ancient Greeks observed basic natural phenomena and used simple logic to conclude that the Earth is round. They observed that the sun rises and sets in a consistent path, the stars rotate around fixed points in the sky depending on the observer's location, and eclipses demonstrate the Earth's circular shadow on the moon. These observations, combined with the curvature of large bodies of water and the laws of gravity, led to the widespread acceptance of the spherical Earth model.
