Okay.
So we’ve got an entirely flat surface that also happens to be the exact same length as the earth’s surface.
If you had one continuous piece of string that went from one end of that flat surface to the other, and on one end there was attached a bell… would you be able to ring the bell by pulling on the other end of string?
To really emphasize it, the same amount of extra string would be needed if it was instead wrapped around a small marble at first and the diameter expanded by the same amount.
