On the Flat Earth

Original in Spanish
For nine people out of ten, the universe is their hometown. For ninety-nine people out of a hundred, the Earth has been, is, and always will be as flat as a table. And for nine hundred and ninety-nine people out of a thousand, the stars will never be anything more than little dots in the sky. How poor is the common man’s conception of the universe!
