The fact that Sherlock Holmes in the books canonically doesn’t believe that the Earth revolves around the Sun is friggin wild
this is perhaps the single greatest example of the level of shit Watson has to put up with on a regular basis
og sherlock holmes is ten times funnier than any adaptation I’ve ever seen any time someone tries to educate him he goes ‘no no no now I have that in my BRAIN forget that shit immediately’ bc he’s afraid that if he learns about stuff he doesn’t care about, he’ll use up all his focus and attention on it whether he wants to or not and forget stuff about crime, which is both insanely funny and also deeply relatable to me
Anyone else immediately notice the sun’s path of light is curved and how the moon SHOULDN’T be going the opposite direction of the sun because then you’d never be able to explain lunar cycles?
My favorite thing about flat earth theory is that they have an answer to everything that says the earth isn’t flat, but if you put more than three of those answers together, they cancel each other out
