Chapter 4 Chapter Four Endless Surprises and Questions

Why had the horizon suddenly become so strange that even the most experienced sailors could not make out the slight arc of the horizon where the water and the sky met? Why are the waves in the sea surging, and the heights reached by the waves are unbelievable? When the earth shakes, why is there a deafening roar?This sound, in addition to a crackling sound from the inside of the earth, also has the sound of huge waves colliding with each other and the whistling sound of a hurricane. Why are there unusual lights in the sky brighter than the Northern Lights?It illuminated the whole firmament, and for a moment all the stars were eclipsed.

Why did the Mediterranean Sea suddenly become empty?The sea water suddenly went to nowhere, and then returned to the sea, forming raging waves. Why is the moon also enlarged so much, as if its distance from us suddenly shortened by about a hundred thousand nautical miles in just a few seconds? Why did a new planet appear in the sky, huge and radiant like nothing astronomers had ever seen before, and quickly disappear behind thick clouds? What is the cause of such a sudden change in the ground, sea and air? I am afraid that no one can explain these strange things clearly and give a satisfactory answer.
