... with respect to a man standing upright in Mumbai, at an angle of approximately 90 degrees, given that the distance between the two places is about five and a half thousand miles, which would be nearly one quarter of the circumference of the supposed sphere upon which both men live.

I expect most people are perfectly happy to be standing at right angles to folks in Mumbai, but the thought doesn't sit well with me at all. However, if we pursue this inevitable consequence of Baal Earth madness to its logical conclusion, we must accept that no two men or women standing anywhere on the surface of the ball will share precisely the same upright axis. Of course the difference would be negligible in close proximity, and even between, say, Tipton and Netherton, here in the Black Country, but nonetheless the concept of "uprightness" (with all of its associated moral implications) becomes relative, because on the claimed "ball" verticality is defined by an axis radiating out from the centre of mass and no two axes drawn on the rim of a circle or the outside of a ball can be perfectly parallel.

This is a very worrisome matter to Prod and also to a growing number of other folks, many of whom are starting to accept that our beloved King James Bible is unsympathetic to the idea of life on the Ball Earth, spinning or otherwise.
