I don't think that is directly the point of the question, though it almost certainly comes from the perspective that flat Earth theory is false.  I would be grateful, however, for responses from the perspective of those who take the view that flat Earth theory is true.  Many thanks.

I am a high school student applying to the University of Chicago.  One of their application questions implicates flat Earth theory.  I would be grateful for reactions to the question from members here, which would be helpful in my essay.  Many thanks in advance.

Question:  You’re on a voyage in the thirteenth century, sailing across the tempestuous seas. What if, suddenly, you fell off the edge of the Earth?
