Dear friends:
Terra (Earth) is getting bigger every year folks. (There is even a theory that our planet was indeed flat at one time..... but got so big that it collapsed on itself and became a round ball!)
Why is it growing you ask?
Every year "space debris" in the form of cosmic dust, ice, asteroids, comets and other "junk" from space rains down on our planet to the tune of millions and even billions of tons every 365 days! (This doesn't even count some of the local junk that piles up like dead leaves and trees....... and even poop from the millions of animals that wander around!)
That's a lot of stuff kids.
Matter of fact, when humans first started populating our planet..... it was quite a bit smaller than it is today...... and we only had to walk a few thousand miles to get to every nook and cranny!
Made exploration a whole lot simpler than it is today....eh!
From Africa, India was only a few days away and the far east was about a month's walk. (Even during the time of the "Silk Road" to China the journey was only about two weeks' travel time!)
There is now a theory that North America was reached from Africa when a group of fishermen got lost...... and a few weeks later drifted over to the Caribean!
Same with Australia, a group of Africans that got lost ended up down/over there about fifty thousand years ago since at that time it was only a hop, skip and a short paddle away!
The way I see it anyway!
