"..There is no implication here that the earth is flat. .."

I was not implying that anyone thought it was - though 20000 years ago undoubtedly many people thought it was (except Erastothenes)

Yes - Macquarie Island would be a great place to get away from it all - but winter there would be even worse than Oregon.

". For them to do that, they must be seeing something new and interesting every time -- of course, this includes all the pathetic "alternate universes" our minds can imagine; and goes beyond that: so far beyond, in fact, that we blubber in wonder, every time. "

The theorised alternate universes either do or do not exist. They are either fantasy or do have their own reality. I cannot see how they can exist as a new 'branch universe' would have to be generated at every fork in direction of every subatomic particle in every atom in all these universes. That is - an infinity of infinities.
