Why is the image circular?

Latest comment: 6 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Not sure where that diagram came from but why is it circular? I guess it looks kinda cool but I don't really know what it adds and it seems like it makes things a bit more confusing/implies something weird or misleading things about earth's history. Seems like a normal flat/straight timeline diagram would be better Finnigami (talk) 04:29, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
