How do we know, for example, that the stars are really huge balls of fire

37、 like the Sun and very far away?

41、 look for evidenceScientists make a guess about what might be trueFor example, if the world is really round, we can predict that any of us, going on and on in the same direction, should eventually find ourselves back where we started.People sometimes say that you must believe in feelings deep inside
