This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
What if Earth transformed overnight into a flat disk? This physics exploration examines immediate consequences across navigation, climate, and civilization. GPS satellites become useless as spherical geometry vanishes. Flight paths require complete recalculation across the 25,000-mile diameter disk. Ocean currents and weather patterns follow entirely different rules without Coriolis effects. Antarctica becomes a 2-mile-high ice wall encircling the world's edge. Time zones lose meaning as the sun spirals across the flat surface. Global trade collapses as distances and routes fundamentally change. This thought experiment reveals how deeply spherical geometry shapes every aspect of modern civilization and planetary systems.
