I asked my girlfriend if it was possible. How can so many
people "around the globe" as the Flat Earth Society's homepage says, believe something
that's not true? As one flat earther said, "Why
would I endure ridicule from my friends and co-workers by believing it?" Good point.
Per them, gravity is created because we are accelerating through space as we have been
for some 4.5 billion years. Flatters have the equation that proves it. Of course, you
have to simultaneously ignore a key mathematical truth for if to be plausible.
Flatters' math is entirely different.
The shortest distance between two points on a flat surface is a straight line.
Then why is it quicker to fly over the north pole for
many destinations instead of following a line parallel to the equator?
It's only possible when said object is a sphere.
Basic math proves it. There are numerous third-grade level science experiments
that disprove the flat earth theory, and sixth-grade
ones, ninth-grade...no matter your education there's an experiment
for everyone!
Which brings up the topic of conspiracies. Flatters know that "everyone else" is in on
the scam: governments, space agencies, airlines, militaries, the education system,
and MOTHER NATURE herself! The one burning question, however, is
why Earth is the only flat planet discovered to date?!
Everyone needs their red carpet moment. To feel important,
like they have knowledge that no one else does, that they are guardians of a secret order.
Maybe special enough to be the first to
climb over the huge ice wall at the edge of our flat planet
and fall off?
Their
mental acuity, common sense, and cognitive maturity are not a positive force. It
ensures that any expert is another hoaxer.
Beliefs cannot be "disproved." Any challenge or argument to the contrary
backfires.
Nature isn't perfect and
a small percentage of people will always operate on the fringe.
Drugs can't fix every problem, either.
I'm not saying brainwash them to the 2 + 2 = 5
degree but let's be real. At least they're non-violent.
Perhaps there is a bigger conspiracy. Maybe these flatters are alien invaders treating
humanity as one big reality show. They plant the most ludicrous
thoughts and ideas - all too easy with social media - and take bets on how many will bite.
Superior beings are
toying with us for their amusement, greed, or satisfaction much like humans already
do with every living entity on this planet. The irony.
