Except for the fact that the myth about the flat world was based on observation not science. There are scientific concerns and doubt as to exactly what this thing could do. The direct answer: They don't know. Just think of how many scientific discoveries were complete accidents. There is a lot that could happen that hasn't been worked out in theory.
Now odds are nothing bad will happen, but we also shouldn't be as cavalier as the quote you made. We should tread carefully and lightly into the unknown.
