>You can experimentally confirm the existence of atoms with a glass of water, some salt, and a sunny windowsill. Bonus points for using a voltmeter as well.

Is that all it takes to convince you?

>Yes, you dickhead. The far edge of the earth is in deep shadow, so you can't SEE it, so it looks like a sliver has been lopped off of it in the photo. Are you three years old?

What's casting the "shadow"? And why is the earth pointed?
