Flat Earth and Globe Earth are both right. 360 Camera evidence.
I just got a Ricoh Theta S and have been playing with some Tiny Planet setups for a feature I'll be shooting soon. I also teach a panel at comic cons called GameChurch, the guiding principle of which is: "What can we discover about life if we believe it is a video game?" It's led to all sorts of interesting insights. Software science vs hardware science being one of them. If life is a VR game then scientists may be studying the science or rules of the software while simultaneously discovering the constructed limits of the hardware. The ghost in the machine discovering both ghost and machine.

I love Flat Earth. It's got some pretty compelling and testable evidence. I also love my Orion 8" Dob and can see sphericity in space. I've always maintained that the Earth could be flat from a ground level playing field and spherical from space.

As I play with the 360 format and editing techniques and imagine a future where these 360 devices work in real time and render together (collapsing the waveform, double slit, wherever two of you, tree falls in the forest) the world we see... it looks totally plausible. A single round world of data rendered flat and in three dimensions for our mmorpg pleasure once we land on the surface... or close enough. :)

And I might add that this effect would be even more noticeable in a stereoscopic 360 image.

The wife and I play a MMOs when we have time, so we debate the VR theory frequently. If we catch you at a convention, we'll be sure to attend the panel. How did Tupelo go?
