The earth has no ends, and you can prove it like this:

-- Paint a big 'X' on the ground in bright red paint, right where you're standing.

Then paint your initials next to the 'X', so that you'll recognize it the next time

you see it.

-- Point yourself in one direction and start walking. It doesn't matter what direction,

just keep going in the same direction. When you come to water, start swimming in the

same direction. When you come to land, start walking again in the same direction.

After a while, you'll begin to see familiar things in the distance. It doesn't matter

what direction you've been going all this time. As you get closer, you'll start to

think that your eyes are playing tricks on you. But eventually, even though you

still can't believe it, you'll see that it's real . . . there on the ground, right in front

of you, you'll see your own big red 'X', with your initials right there next to it.

It doesn't matter what direction you pick. If you can keep going in that direction

long enough and far enough, you'll never find an end of the earth, and after

you've gone 40,073.1 kilometers (24,900.3 miles) you'll be right at the place

where you started from. Is that cool or what !

If a snail crawls halfway around a circle then turns around and crawls halfway back is it now back where it started?

No, it would be half the distance it traveled the first time. Like say these lines represent your circle. ----^---- -------- the snail would be at the end of the first line if it goes halfway around, but if it goes halfway back, it would be where the ^ is, only half the trip.
