[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 13391303, member: 67454"] If you have the math, a stick and some string and a helper or two, you can determine the shape and size of the Earth. Students recreate the same experiment with the same method to this day. You do not need electronic instruments or precision optics. So having visually observed the moon is a sphere, and having now mathematically derived the conclusion that the Earth, too, is a sphere, you can look at the sun and draw the conclusion that it, too, is probably a sphere. You now have a working theory that celestial bodies are spheres, and you have a body of work to show to those who doubt you. [/QUOTE]
