when columbus sees the ocean the water the ocean and the sky meet so he thought if you go to the end of the ocean you will off the earth

It is a myth that any educated person thought the Earth was flat. Scholars knew about the curve of the Earth long before Columbus. They also knew the circumference of the Earth. That is why they argued against the voyage: he could not reach China before his crew starved. What they did not reckon on was a whole continent in between. Columbus just got lucky.
