As a girl scout, I camped once at the Koreshan State Historic Site in central Florida. The campsite is on the land once colonized by a cult called the Koreshan Unity, whose members believed that the entire universe existed within a giant, hollow sphere. I mis-understood this: I thought the earth was the bit trapped within this giant, hollow sphere. As if the sun were a sort of peach-pit suspended inside of the earth, and we lived just below the peach skin. In this world, would rainbows be upside-down?
