Do you believe the earth is flat as well?

How did you conflate a flat earth with the circumference of the earth?

Hadn’t even of heard of it, I may check these out.

It was from the BBC in the 70s so less glitzy than Cosmos. Some Belfast boffin did it. Interlinks science and History. The first series was amazeballs and got better as it went on, the rest were fairly shite

In 1960, David Latimer planted a tiny garden inside of a large glass bottle and sealed it shut. He opened the bottle 12 years later in 1972 to add some water and then sealed it for good. The self contained ecosystem has flourished for nearly 60 years. For those who are wondering how this is even possible: the garden is a perfectly balanced and self-sufficient ecosystem. The bacteria in the compost eats the dead plants and breaks down the oxygen that is released by the plants, turning it into carbon dioxide, which is needed for photosynthesis. The bottle is essentially a microcosm of earth.”

His definition of ‘garden’ is about as loose as my own.
