Less than 100 miles above our heads lies an unending universe, which is faster than we could ever comprehend.

But it's far from empty. Instead, it's filled with incredible phenomena that our puny brains can barely grasp.

Can you fathom the existence of things like stars within stars, planets made of diamonds, atom-sized black holes

or even white holes?

Before you space out, let me

bring you back to Earth with some intel

about the great starry expanse

that'll really blow your mind.

You're listening.

You're listening. You're listening. You're listening to be amazed.

You've probably seen photos of Earth taken from space showing that our planet is undeniably round,

but looks can be deceiving because this big blue marble isn't a perfect sphere. And before all the

flat Earthers chime in, no, it isn't a pancake either. As the planet spans, it creates a centrivical

force that's highest at the equator and almost nothing at its poles. Because the Earth's mass is

distributed unevenly within it, the force drags the equatorial

section of the Earth outwards.

This gives the Earth a slightly squashed appearance, almost like someone accidentally sat on

it.

The effect, however, is small, so small that if you compare the diameter of Earth at the

poles to the equator, you'd only see a.3% bigger latudinal bulge.

Even so, that's still a 26 mile hump, which is around double the distance from the top of Mount Everest to the deepest part of the Mariana Trench.

Wow, that's almost as big as the lie those flat earthers tell themselves.
