Bearing in mind that the radius of the earth is 6,400 kilometers and the radius of a toy globe is 0.001 of a kilometer, bearing in mind also the complex movements of the seas and obstacles, we can assert that this globe of the world, though it will now never cease to be in motion, will never make its way around the earth, either, in the same way that that dreamer who threw it in the East Bay did not. Which means that, for this toy globe, the earth will always be a flat, infinite object, dimensionless, situated in a realm of pure metaphysics. Thus any human action is a reflection of its own limitations and, in addition, of the fact that we construct a world in our own likeness. Thus this error, in a certain way, reductio ad absurdum, makes gods of us.
