Hello dear reader! In this article, we will continue the theme of a flat earth and present one more fact proving the correctness of this theory. Do not rush to spit at the monitor if you are a skeptic of this topic, but simply study the proposed material and check it yourself.

Of course, it is not given to a larger number of the population to check what the map of the world in which we live should actually be. But a curious mind always wants to believe that our world is not the way we used to see it. And not only people live on this big earth.

But sooner or later we will figure out all this confusion!))

Map of the World: False or Real?

So, on our agenda. This is how it is presented to us from childhood:

Everything is simple. We find a map of the world of flat earth on the Internet:

What do you see? Doesn't this ratio of continents remind you of the sizes that Yandex showed us? Coincidence or accident?

But that's not all...

Comparison

Here is the official emblem of the UN:

Do you notice anything?

• Firstly, it has just all the continents in relation to each other of the size that the Yandex ruler shows us;
• Secondly, it is very similar to a flat earth map. Don't find?

Question to skeptics - How so?)

Is this a coincidence or have we really been pushed the wrong way since childhood? And most importantly, why are they doing it? And why is Russia artificially enlarged, as if they wanted to scare someone with their mass)) Or cover it up? After all, against the background of huge Russia, Australia is lost visually. Maybe they are hiding something on its territory? And they want people to look anywhere but at tiny Australia? Hmm... One can only guess...

Call to action

Unfortunately, we cannot rise into space, but we have the Internet, brains and eyes. Close all textbooks, we don't know where is the truth in them and where is the lie. Become pioneers without looking back at history.

Start doing practical experiments. For example, get into a car and drive yourself a long distance from one city to another and compare it with the official map on Yandex.

Let's look for inconsistencies in our strange world together.

Dear Friends, leave your comments and practical observations below this article.

It hides not only the real sizes, but also the continents. We will definitely tell you about one of them on the pages of the site, soon.

It is hardly possible to reveal the incomprehensible secrets of the universe to the end. And even what at first glance seems to be an indisputable truth, in some cases can be very controversial. for the sake of political, economic, moral and ethical interests, it is no longer such a surprise, because the concept of alternative history is becoming more and more adherents every day. And even those who until recently believed in fairy tales about the existence of Peter I, today are no longer so confident in supporting their beliefs.

And what if not only history is distorted? Modern geography, geodesy, other sciences have elevated the idea that the Earth is round to the rank of axiom, however, this theory also has its opponents. At first glance, the idea of ​​a flat Earth can be perceived as a joke, only its adherents are providing more and more convincing evidence in favor of their theory, which looks quite logical and reasonable. Is this true, or is science not lying in this case? Who knows…

Flat Earth Theory: Basic Concepts

The essence of this theory reveals its very name. According to flat earthers, the globe is a circular disk centered on the North Pole. But in principle, there is no South Pole on this map - instead of it there is a high ice wall that encircles the territory of the Earth. What lies behind this wall is a mystery. Some suggest that behind it there is only ice and permafrost, others believe that there is a parallel life of other inhabitants of the planet hiding there, while others believe that the wall serves as a fence behind which there is absolutely nothing. A map that visually reflects the device of a flat Earth is called azimuthal.

The diameter of the planet is 40,000 kilometers. Above this huge disk, like a dome, the constellations, the Sun and the Moon rise. And so that the day goes on as usual, and the day turns into night, it is not the planet itself that rotates, but the dome located directly above it. That is why the constellations move during the night, the bright sun is replaced by a mysterious and cold moon, and sunrise and sunset alternate regularly.

And since the Sun is constantly moving, then the usual ideas about the solar system have no right to exist. In principle, the Solar system is not considered in the Flat Earth concept, since the rotation of the Sun is carried out at a frantic speed, and the planets simply could not follow it and rotate about their own axis. The force of attraction of the planets also acts as a weighty argument. According to modern scientists, the Earth ranks third among the planets located around the Sun. That's just according to the laws of physics, the force of attraction is directly related to the mass, which means that the smaller the size of the planet, the closer it should be to the Sun. Having carried out simple mathematical calculations, one can understand that the Earth should not be in third, but in sixth place. Then our world would be shrouded in permafrost, because the atmosphere simply physically could not warm up enough to comfortably sustain life.

But if everything is arranged exactly as the adherents of the Flat Earth theory see it, what about space flights, numerous photographs of the Earth taken from outer space, data on other planets and other information that clearly demonstrates the structure of the universe. According to the flat earthers, all this is nothing more than a fiction, a staging and a fraud on a huge scale. The illusion created by the Freemasons allows you to hide the truth from the population. One of the proofs of this assumption is the picture of Apollo 11, in which the Americans allegedly flew to the moon. With a detailed magnification, you can see that the spacecraft is made of "improvised materials" - foil, planks, oilcloth, cardboard, etc. In fact, this is just a scenery intended for filming astronauts, who, by the way, did not even bother to remove jewelry (bracelets and rings), on which an engraved letter G is visible inside a compass and square - a symbol of the Masonic movement.

What about pictures of Mars? The unreal and mysterious beauty of this mysterious planet, according to the adherents of the Flat Earth theory, is nothing more than photo filters, the play of light and shadows, classic computer programs with which any "advanced" student can work. If you remove the effects of Photoshop from these pictures, you get very beautiful, but still very real landscapes, taken in remote corners of the Earth, untouched by human hands.

A bit of history, or where does the flat earth theory come from?

At first glance, it may seem that the theory of the flat shape of our planet is nothing more than a fashion trend, of which there are now quite a few on the Internet. However, this is not at all the case: peering through the prism of history, one can track how opinions about the shape of the Earth have changed. The mention of this theory was found in the ancient mythology of Egypt and Babylon, Hindu and Buddhist scriptures, and the Scandinavian epic. And even the ancient philosophers, whose teachings are considered a historical legacy, including Leucippus and his student Democritus, were firmly convinced that the Earth is flat. The same idea was held in the oldest manuscript of the Book of Enoch, found in Qumran. However, over time, these beliefs gave way to astronomical knowledge, and the idea of ​​a Flat Earth sunk into oblivion.

In the Middle Ages, the question of the shape of the Earth again became discussed. One of the clearest examples of this idea was the "Christian Topography" written by Cosmas Indikoples in 535-547. In it, the planet is presented in the form of a rectangular plane, on top of which there is a dome: “Some people, hiding behind the name of Christians, argue, along with pagan philosophers, that the sky has a spherical shape. No doubt these people are deluded by the eclipses of the Sun and Moon.” This work in translation was widely used in Russia, because at that time it was a unique encyclopedia of medieval knowledge, which there was no reason not to believe.

One illustrative example of the theory was an engraving published in the book "Atmosphere: Popular Meteorology", published by the French astronomer Camille Flammarion in 1888. It depicts a pilgrim who has reached the edge of the Earth and looks out from under the dome towards new worlds. The caption for the image reads: "A medieval missionary says he found the point where the sky touches the Earth."

How was the Flat Earth Society formed?

In the 19th century, adherents of the described concept united in a group - the Flat Earth Society - headed by the English scientist Samuel Rowbotham. For several decades, he conducted all kinds of experiments, experiments, studies in support of his theory and, importantly, found a lot of evidence. Using the pseudonym Parallax, he wrote "Zethetic Astronomy", in which he thoroughly and clearly outlined all his achievements and results that refute the spherical shape of the planet. Initially, Rowbotham's small work was reprinted several times, becoming more and more large-scale and evidence-based literature, because it was constantly supplemented by students of the Society. Until his death, Samuel Rowbotham defended his theory, holding numerous lectures and seminars around the world.

Adherents of Rowbotham's theory subsequently united in the Universal Zethetic Society, which found its adherents in all corners of the planet. Since 1956, this organization, headed by Samuel Shenton, has again become known as the Flat Earth Society, but with the significant prefix "International". When Shenton saw photographs of the globe from orbit, he never doubted his beliefs for a moment: "It is easy to see how photographs of this sort can fool the uninformed."

Since 1971, the head of the organization has been Charles Johnson. He launched a major campaign to promote his ideas, handing out leaflets, pamphlets and booklets, in which he defended the flat earth model. Thanks to such activity, during his leadership, the number of supporters of the theory has increased several times.

Arguments in favor of the flat earth theory

In order to make an informed decision about the shape of our planet, one should consider the arguments of both sides, finding out which of them is the most reasonable and consistent. So what do flat earthers say about their theory?

1.The speed of the earth's rotation.

Scientific data says that the Earth rotates around its axis at a speed of about half a kilometer per second. It's hard to even imagine fast object! In favor of the flat earthers are a few simple experiments, for example, with a jump. Everyone knows that, having jumped, a person lands in the same place. But what about rotation? After all, in those fractions of a second that he was in a jump, the planet had to move a considerable distance, and another point would become the landing site. The same result gives a shot from a cannon into the sky. In addition, if you shoot to the east (against the direction of rotation), the core should fly twice less than the norm, and if to the west - twice as much. However, this does not happen. And the pilots flying over the Earth have never registered how it rotates, although who, if not them, should be able to see the change in the position of the planet from above.

2.Perfectly flat horizon.

Look into the distance. Look carefully, not losing sight of the slightest detail. What do you see? The standard flat edge of the horizon in the area where it is clearly visible - fields, meadows, sea surface - cannot deceive. After all, in a free area, the view spans several kilometers in the distance, so why are they perfectly even? According to the adherents of the theory, the answer is obvious - the Earth is flat! In addition, tall objects (for example, towers, lighthouses, mountain peaks) would simply not be visible, because the spherical surface covered them from the attentive eye, since the horizon line would be much higher. But this does not happen, and you can admire the mountains from a very long distance, numbering more than one kilometer.

3.Air routes.

Many flights, especially long-distance flights, at first glance seem illogical from the point of view of the sphericity of the Earth. Looking at the globe, one may wonder why pilots choose such, at first glance, illogical route and inconvenient points for refueling. However, there is no mystery and irrationality in this: if you compare these routes with a flat map, it becomes clear that the route is laid perfectly.

4. Star drawing.

If all objects in the Universe are in constant motion, then why are the stars in the sky located exactly the same way both today and several centuries ago. Indeed, in theory, the star pattern should change, if not every day, then once a week for sure. However, this does not happen. The thing is that the stars are just holograms on the celestial dome, which cannot change, move relative to each other, and even more so fall. And the famous meteor shower, which all the romantics of the world are looking forward to, to make a wish, is a holographic effect.

5. Yellow Sun.

The scientific laws explain quite extensively why the sky is blue and the Sun is yellow. According to official data, ultraviolet passing through the atmosphere is scattered into spectra, one of which colors the sky canvas. However, this does not explain in any way why a part of the rays concentrated around the Sun does not break up, because then it should be blue-blue. Isn't it because the Sun is below the dome-sky, which limits the space. Rotating around the Earth, it alternately illuminates the territory, so the light hours regularly replace each other.

6. Space flights are a hoax.

None of the flat earthers have seen outer space with their own eyes, which means that its existence can be disputed to the point of hoarseness. Photos are fake, videos are solid special effects, and space flights are fantastic stories. Convinced adherents of this theory even organized several times an investigation expedition to find places for photography "on the Moon". And when the astronauts were asked to swear on the Holy Scriptures that they were on the moon, they all showed aggression and evaded the answer.

7. Free flow of rivers.

According to the law of communicating vessels, the network of reservoirs enveloping the Earth simply could not exist on a spherical planet in the form in which we see it today. However, the rivers flow to the west, east, north and south in almost equal numbers, and their depth and full flow are in no way connected with the geographical position. Such characteristics are possible only if the Earth is flat.

8. View of technicians.

One of the weighty arguments in favor of their theory, flat earthers use the universal conspiracy of engineers, technicians and other personalities, one way or another connected with work in vast spaces. For example, surveyors do not take into account the curvature of the Earth when designing buildings and structures. But in this case, the building, made according to this project, simply could not withstand the total load and collapsed. However, this does not happen, and the buildings stand idle for decades. There is only one conclusion: they are aware that the Earth is actually flat, but they keep this secret from the population. The same applies to aircraft pilots who, when taking off from a spherical surface, no longer correct their flight path until landing. How? After all, under such conditions, the plane would have flown into outer space. And if you look at it from the point of view of a flat Earth, everything falls into place.

This evidence is the most common evidence that the Flat Earth Society uses to refute a generally accepted theory. To judge their fidelity, one must also consider the beliefs of the so-called "ballooners", who adhere to a scientific point of view.

Why is the Earth a sphere? Flat Earth Arguments

The concept that the scientific community adheres to has many justifications in its favor, some of which look quite convincing. What are the ballers talking about in favor of their theory?

1. Moon and its eclipse.

Even if we do not take into account photographs that prove the existence of the Moon as a satellite of our planet, the shadow that the Earth casts, gradually reaching a lunar eclipse, directly indicates its sphericity. Even Aristotle, who supported the spherical nature of the planet, considered the cast shadow as an oval, which directly contradicted the theory of the flat shape of the Earth.

2.Constellation change.

This argument was also considered as early as the time of Aristotle. Traveling around the world, he recorded the position of the stars in the sky and the visibility of each of them. So, being at the equator, constellations were opened to him, which were not visible in other latitudes. And the farther from the equator the scientist was, the less familiar stars he saw, which were replaced by others. This effect could only be explained by the fact that a person looks at the sky from a spherical surface, otherwise the location would not have such a strong effect on the visibility of the stars.

3.Time Zones.

And although half-Earths claim that the change of time of day occurs due to the rotation of the Sun, balloonists are sure that it is the Earth that rotates around its axis. That is why different times are set in different countries, and when, for example, it is deep night in America, the sun is shining in China, and the day is in full swing.

4. Force of gravity.

Another proof of a spherical planet is gravity - the force of attraction between objects. According to the laws of physics, it acts relative to the center of mass. But after all, when falling, the apple lands from top to bottom, and not at an angle to the center, and a person, walking along the surface of the Earth, feels attraction to the bottom, and not sideways, closer to the center of the “disk”. That is why it can be judged that under it every time there is the center of the Earth, from which the maximum gravity comes, which means that the Earth has a spherical shape. However, flat earthers reject this evidence because they believe that gravity is just the result of the planet's upward movement with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2.

5.Visibility of objects from a height.

If you climb a mountain, a tall tree or a lighthouse, looking at the outlines of the horizon through binoculars, you will notice that the visibility distance increases in direct proportion to the height at which the person is located. Of course, visible obstacles can interfere with the purity of the experiment, but in a field or meadow, this effect is most noticeable. But if the Earth were flat, the height of the observation platform would have no effect on the visibility of objects on the horizon. This is possible only if the planet has the shape of a ball.

6. ship on the horizon.

When sailing, the ship does not immediately disappear on a perfectly flat sea surface. First of all, its hull is lost from sight, and only after that the sails disappear over the horizon. The same thing is observed when it approaches the shore: sails are immediately visible, and only then - the ship itself. This directly proves that, despite the apparent straightness of the horizon, it is curved by the spherical shape of the Earth.

7.Sundial.

The sundial effect is calculated based on the shadow cast by the Sun at different times. By sticking a stick into the ground, you can observe how the shadow from it gradually changes its shape. And if the world were a plane, the position of the wand would not affect the shape of the shadow, and at different points it would be identical. However, even a seemingly insignificant distance of several tens of kilometers between two experimental rods gives a different result, and the shadows differ by at least a few tenths of a millimeter. This principle was used even before our era when calculating the circumference of the Earth, which was carried out by Eratosthenes.

8. documentary facts.

And although flat earthers claim that satellite photos and space flights- a hoax, ballers are firmly convinced of their existence. Numerous images of our planet obtained from outer space, flights to the Moon and exploration of other planets are the scientific heritage that humanity has achieved over hundreds of years of experiments and developments. True, considerable funds are invested in these studies, and their effectiveness is confirmed only by photographs, but this is already the other side of the coin.

Flat Earth in the context of contemporary art

No matter how controversial the theory that denies the generally accepted shape of our planet, it has repeatedly surfaced in the works of science fiction writers, filmmakers and writers. One need only recall the well-known Chronicles of Narnia by Clive Lewis to understand that this idea appeals to a wide audience. The cosmology of Narnia presents the idea of ​​the plane of the Earth, beyond which lies paradise - Aslan. The heroes go there, following the routes of an old map, reminiscent of a medieval one.

The English science fiction writer Terry Pratchet devoted a whole series of works to the concept with the predictable name Discworld. According to him, based on ancient Indian myths, four elephants support the disk-shaped planet, and those, in turn, stand on a centuries-old turtle. And beloved by the multimillion-dollar crowd of spectators "Pirates caribbean"? Captain Jack Sparrow's team managed to reach the end of the planet, where a bottomless waterfall was seething.

This concept was not bypassed by domestic writers. So, the story "The Monk at the End of the Earth" by Sergei Sinyak describes an expedition to the heavenly dome, after which its participants were subjected to repression by the state. However, the results of the expedition were undeniable: flight into space is nothing more than a fiction based on a distortion of the picture of the universe.

Afterword

What to believe, what concept to adhere to is a personal matter for everyone. It is more convenient for some to believe that the Earth is a ball, while others are also unshakably convinced that our planet is flat. One way or another, it is not possible for most people to go up into space in order to visually verify the correctness of one of these movements, so we will have to use what we have - eyes, logic and common sense. It is enough to close textbooks, open a satellite map and drive a considerable distance along it, checking the mileage and trajectory with official data. Simple practical experiments will allow you to understand where reality ends and hoax begins.

It is best to end this argument with the words of the wisest Dalai Lama: “Anyway, all this is very insignificant, isn't it? The basis of the Doctrine is; what they say about the structure of life, about the nature of suffering, about the nature of the mind. This is the foundation of the teaching. This is what matters most; that is directly related to our lives. Whether the world is square or round does not matter much as long as prosperity and peace reign in it.

The fact that our planet is round was again doubted back in the 19th century, and the theory of a flat Earth still has followers. They reject scientific facts and firmly believe that our planet has the shape of a plate with rounded edges. Online, "flat earthers" are in the spotlight: American rapper B.o.b. decided to launch his satellite and prove to everyone that he was lying. The next sensational film arrived on time. Especially for the Memepedia project, I figured out why the Internet does not get tired of laughing at people who refuse to believe that our planet is round.

rap against everyone

One of the most ardent supporters of the flat earth theory is the American rapper B.o.b (Bobby Ray Simmons Jr.). In late September, he announced a fundraiser on the Go Fund Me crowdfunding platform to launch "one or more" space satellites. The musician believes that the photographs of our planet taken by NASA are fake, and he is ready to prove it.

To “expose”, the musician first requested 200 thousand dollars, but as soon as he realized the viral nature of his intention, he raised the bar to a million. At the time of writing, he has received just over $6,000 in donations.

“Instead of just launching one or more satellites into space, I will become the founder of the foundation. It is necessary to carry out any available experiments using balloons, drones and even radars, declared rapper b.o.b.

Bobby became fascinated with the flat earth theory last year. He posted in his Twitter photo against the horizon and wrote: “Cities in the background about 16 miles (25 kilometers - approx. "Tapes.ru") from each other... Where is the bend? Please explain this."

Frame: Big Think / YouTube

True, in the end, the specialist admitted that the rapper's lag of 500 years in these arguments does not affect his musical abilities in any way.

The skirmish with the scientist inspired the musician to the track flat line, in which he stated that "you managed to fool us one last time".

“Why is NASA a part of ?
They divided the seas into 33 degrees,
They feed the children with Masonry, bro, be careful what you read "

Eminent astronauts tried to dissuade the "flat earther". NASA astronaut Terry Werts, who has been to space twice, made his case; Apollo 11 pilot and second man on the moon Buzz Aldrin and Scott Kelly, who flew into space four times and set a record for staying on the ISS together with Russian Mikhail Kornienko. But Bobby remained adamant.

The rapper's outbursts about the shape of the planet cause controversy among his fans and haters alike. No one understands if Bobby really believes in a flat earth or if it's all part of the artist's PR campaign.

Shock and sensation from REN TV

The release of the program "The Most Shocking Hypotheses", dedicated to the flat Earth, was shown on REN TV on September 25. Inserted into the program are clippings from an interview with former NASA employee Matthew Boylan, who claims he was told about the "real" shape of the Earth almost immediately after being hired.

“I thought they were testing my sense of humor to see if I was stupid. But no, they weren't joking," Boylan assured the audience.

According to him, in "real" images, the Earth looks flat, as in the logo, but NASA is beneficial to hide the truth. The second "expert" in the REN TV film is British amateur physicist Dave Murphy. According to him, the curvature of the Earth is a fictitious indicator that is not taken into account when laying aircraft routes.

A Russian astrologer believes that a view of Chicago from a distance of almost 100 kilometers is convincing evidence that the Earth is flat. We are talking about the video of photographer Joshua Nowinsky, who shot an American city from the opposite shore of Lake Michigan. Due to the curvature of the Earth, the city should have disappeared below the horizon, but it is visible thanks to the so-called "upper mirage": the difference in the temperature of the air currents allows the object to be reflected and be visible at a great distance.

REN TV experts claim that images of our planet from space are taken with fisheye lenses, which is why objects in the frame look rounded.

According to supporters of the idea of ​​a flat Earth, it is beneficial for modern science to support the belief in a round planet, because billions are allocated to the space industry.

In social networks, the program was reacted with sincere bewilderment. Someone wrote angry messages, and someone just laughed. In a few days, a new trend has formed on Russian-language Twitter: using jokes about a flat Earth, users began to convey their mood or attitude to a topic.

Quite unexpectedly, he joined the ranks of the defenders of science, who usually takes a conservative position and works closely with religious organizations. In a comment, Tsargrad accused his colleagues of chasing sensations.

Flat Earthers vs Ballooners

Russia also has its adherents of the flat earth theory. Their beliefs are in most cases based on the Bible, and they call the modern structure of the world "pseudoscience."

“The Bible gives us a clear and precise picture of the world order. modern science, financed by Masonic circles, denies this picture and slips its own instead, designed to confuse minds. We have a choice - who are we with? With God and the Bible, or with Freemasons and their pseudoscience,” says the description of the largest group "Flat Earth Societies" in VKontakte.

In Runet, the main supporter of the theory of a flat Earth is the schoolboy Maxim Ozherelyev from Miass, Chelyabinsk region. A 13-year-old teenager on his YouTube channel and on VKontakte broadcast his arguments about flat planet. At the end of June 2017, the recordings began to attract more and more attention and criticism, and as a result, the boy deleted all his videos.

A copy of one of the records not only preserved, but it also became a popular meme thanks to the word “sharo ***” (an obscene version of the words “sharovery” and “ball-lovers”) - this is how Maxim called everyone who believes in the round shape of our planet. The term "flat earthers" (the collective term for members of the Flat Earth Society) also became widely known after his video.

The teenager argues his beliefs by the fact that during the jump a person does not land in a new place, although the Earth rotates at a speed of 400 meters per second.

The meme about "ball ** s" fell in love with netizens and was at the peak of popularity all summer, and Maxim's face became recognizable.

Topic " flat earth» Do you find it funny? Then I'll remind you. Just 500 years ago, everyone KNEW that the Earth was Flat, and those who said that the Earth was Round took a serious risk. At best, friends, acquaintances and relatives looked at him as a "lunatic". At worst, he was burned at the stake by religious fanatics.

Now this story has a sequel...

Land became again flat, but now no one will burn you. Most people still do not understand what is written, because they have not learned to think with their heads. However, this is not about you. And treat the article with humor.

Piece: "The Flat Earthers Strike Back."

Scene 2: "Evidence for a Flat Earth".

Characters:

Professor Sharov — (PW ). He talked about the Round Earth. . I hope you have seen his official answers. Because now the thing that we love most on this site will begin - “Melting Our Reality «.

Professor Wonderful — (PZ ). Talk about Flat Earth. Right now.

You -simple buyer.

Did I read Scene 1?

1. Our world.

You : Good afternoon Professor Wonderful (PZ ), I just talked to your colleague Sharov about our world, and somehow he didn't look 100% entirely convincing. What do you have?

PZ : I have a model and flat earth map. She looks like this.

PZ : Our world is a Flat Disc surrounded by an ice wall. Therefore, water does not leak anywhere and it is impossible to fall from the edge. The ice wall, officially called Antarctica, covers the entire disk, how far it goes into the depths - we don't know, maybe - to infinity. Or maybe a hundred kilometers there is life. The military closed Antarctica with a special treaty from 1959. Therefore, it is not so easy to get there. Alas.

The Flat Earth map is officially called in science Azimuth Projection.

More details: From above we are covered by the "Dome" - a structure UNDER which the Sun and the Moon rotate, plus the rest of the "planets". The height of the Dome is 5 thousand km. The moon rotates just below the sun. Stars are light bulbs on the Dome.

You : It's clear. Professor Sharov, can you remind me of your version?

PS: Earth is the planet on which we live, and our model is called Globe, from Latin globus -> ball. The surface is 29% land, 71% water. A simplified model of the Earth looks like this.

PS : The Sun - 99.86% of the mass of the entire solar system, is located in the center. The planets revolve around the sun. Earth is the third planet from the Sun. visually below.

You : It's clear. Refreshed memory. Question for you PZ . There is generally accepted evidence that is usually taught in schools as confirmation that the Earth is round. Can you refute them or show an alternative explanation?

PZ : Oh sure. Show me your evidence and I'll comment on it.

What's more, I'm willing to pay 1000 dollars the one who refutes evidence that the earth is flat. You are interested?

You : Yes, I want to earn $1000 if you're not kidding. But first, refute the evidence for a round earth. Ready?

PZ: I seriously offer a deal. Ready.

You: Proof 1. The ships go beyond the horizon and the hull disappears first, and then the sail disappears. This is not proof of the curvature of the Earth's surface?

PZ: No, not proof. The ship simply decreases on the horizon and disappears as soon as it passes " convergence point", that is, goes beyond" visibility horizon". You can return it back if you take binoculars.

How vision works.

An object that is receding from you reaches a point on the horizon when it is too small for you to see anything. Here is the point in the center in the figure where the road shrinks into a point. This point is called « convergence point «, the point where parallel lines IN THE EYE converge. Such is our vision on Earth.

We use 2 eyes to determine the distance to the object.

That is, the further the object is from us, the smaller it will be. And even 2 parallel lines are still removed and reduced to Points of convergence of the lens of the eye. This skill is very useful for PREDATOR HUNTERS (us, in the past). Determine distance to prey or danger .

Even 1 eye is still able to show us the Distance, because the light passes through the edges of the lens (points 1, 2, 3, 4). Pupil = ROUND LENS, not a narrow SLIT. Therefore, even 1 eye is very cool!

We see an object up to 7 km away on the horizon. The physical size of the pupil does not allow you to see further.

Practice.

Here are 2 parallel railway tracks. They are parallel to each other for thousands of kilometers ahead, WAYS DO NOT CROSS, DO NOT CLOSE TO EACH OTHER AT ALL, otherwise the train would not have been able to travel for weeks along the Trans-Siberian Railway from Moscow to Vladivostok.

But, you see how 4 parallel rails converge to a point on the horizon, right? So it is with the ship. Curvature has nothing to do with it. Curvature is the most primitive way to explain all these effects.

Keep in mind that seeing a ship in the distance and above the horizon can interfere hot air or water vapor.

Here, for example, is the phenomenon of a mirage. When in the summer the effect hangs over a hot road, like a wet puddle. I think everyone has seen it in their lives. The middle dividing line disappears into " puddle«.

Object, ship-machine will swell and shrink with distance. The wheels will disappear first, because it is closest to the ground, although the road is absolutely flat in front of you. The same is true at sea.

Water and wind create waves. Waves breaking on the surface of the water create a lot of small splashes and all this mass hangs above the surface of the sea. It is clear that the sail will be the first to rise above the thick mass, a mist of drops. After all, you look almost parallel to the surface of the water. A sail is the tallest object on a ship. The closer the ship is to you, the higher the sail will be above the surface of the water. Although, initially, you see the whole ship on the horizon. Just because of the small spray (kilometers away from the ship), you won't see its hull until it's close enough. You might as well try looking through the fog. Will it be strong?

You : According to Evidence 1: Features of vision, "vanishing point" + mirage + water vapor.

Proof 2: Moon and Lunar eclipses. We see how a semicircular shadow from the Earth creeps onto the Moon during eclipses. A semicircular shadow gives a ball or disk of the Earth to the Moon, and according to your theory, the Sun and Moon are above us. What then causes the eclipse in your model?

PZ : A solar eclipse is easy to explain. The Sun and Moon orbit above our head. And the Moon is a little lower than the Sun, so when their path intersects, we see it as a semicircular shadow (of the Moon) creeping onto the Sun, and we have the Black Sun in front of our eyes.

For the lunar eclipse.

Start with the fact that moon by her own anomalous object on the whole head . You never wonder what we see always only 1 side of the moon? Why is that? Perfect synchronization of orbits? ---> or this artificial object? Why is everything in nature tied to the moon? The planting of plants, the migration of animals, even those very female cycles are perfectly synchronized with the cycles of the Moon, which last 28 days? Isn't it because of this that women have a shift of "women's days" by 4-5 days by the beginning of the month?

In a word, the Moon is a very strange object and behaves differently than an ordinary piece of the Stone overhead should. By the way, scientifically the Moon is a satellite of the Earth. A satellite can be either artificial(turned with its dish-antenna towards us), or natural.

Let's be kids for a minute. How about the fact that the moon was built by previous civilizations? We do not know this, but modern scientists do not know how the Moon ended up in the sky. The version of the impact of a meteorite on the Earth is nonsense. Because the moon has WATER . In an explosion, from a meteorite hitting the Earth, and then flying in a VACUUM, WATER not formed! So what's the point then? Just imagine what it could be artificial sphere with its own light source.

We can't see the other side of the moon, can we? And what's in there?

You : Imagined (fantasy), let the Moon be an artificial object, as in your version. Go ahead.

Proof 3. During Moon Phases we see semicircle in heaven and during Lunar Eclipse we see semicircle a shadow, that is, it is given by a semicircular object, "sphere / ball / disk" as you wish. How do you explain it?

PZ : These are 2 different phenomena: Lunar Phases and Lunar Eclipse.

Concerning Moon phases when you have a crescent moon in the sky, and not full moon, this is due to the illumination of the moon. The earth has nothing to do with it. The moon is a ball-sphere, and a spherical body will still be illuminated. For example, the "lamp", which is located BEHIND THE MOON. Will now beexperiment with iphone 5.

Imagine there is a lamp inside the moon. And she turns. Are not such phases you will see?

As for the Lunar Eclipse, I already answered in the previous example. There is a third body or phenomenon that we do not yet know. For example, that the moon has its own light source INSIDE, and a semicircular disk passes between the light and the surface, obscuring the light. Moreover, its size can be thousands of times smaller than the moon itself. You don't need the sun for this.

By the way, the Moon does NOT reflect sunlight, as official scientists say, but is the source of its own OWN light, easy to install on this example. If you have a Sphere (ball), then we know perfectly well how light will be reflected from it. Like this.

I didn't see a spot on the moon. And you?

You : Proof 4. World travel? Sailing or flying all the time to the East or to the West, you will arrive at the same point from where you started sailing. Isn't that talking about the Round Earth?

PZ : Simple experiment. Take a plate of water, put a powerful magnet in the middle of the plate, lower a small boat with a compass in there and move to the West. You are moving only to the West, and will make a round-the-world trip on a saucer!

Here is tea with lemon. If the lemon wedge twists around the center while remaining peeled towards the rim of the cup, it will make " trip around the world' by your cup.

Schematically: You are always move to the WEST. The magnetic compass shows all the time to the north .

This is what a round-the-world trip above a flat Earth looks like.

This is what Ferdinand Magellan's journey around the Earth looked like 1519-1522.

You: Proof 5. If all body over our heads Round then why should we think that our earth flat?

PZ : Here is a billiard table with Round Balls on it. Table, according to your logic = Round?

You : The table is naturally flat,

Proof 6. Availability of time zones when in some parts of the planet it is night, and in other parts of the planet it is day. How to explain? Is it not the rotation of the Round Earth?

PZ : No. And what about the turn? The sun moves over the surface of the Flat Earth, in the place where it is bright. Where it is not, there is Night.

Why does the Sun not illuminate the entire disk if it is at a height? Very simple. Here is a light bulb that does NOT light up the entire wall. The wall is too big, like the surface of the Earth.

SIGNS:

IF EARTH IS FLAT
why don't we see sunlight 24 hours a day?

Explanation:

For the same reason that a small lamp cannot illuminate the entire wall.

LIGHT SOURCE = SMALL + MOVING.

You : How do the seasons work? Why is it cold in winter and hot in summer?

PZ : The sun moves from North to South throughout the year. When we are hot - the Sun moves along the Yellow trajectory close to the North Pole ( Tropic of Cancer). When it's cold here, it rotates along the Red trajectory (Tropic of Capricorn), far from the North Pole, but it's Hot in the Southern Hemisphere. And, yes, the Sun moves much faster in the Southern Hemisphere to make its 360 degrees in 24 hours.

The fact that we have Winter in December, and in Australia - Summer, says this picture. Christmas - December 21 in Australia is celebrated in costumes of Santa Claus right on the beach.

You : Then we do not leave the Sun and the evidence of the Flat Earth. I'm interested in 2 more things: polar day and Polar night. When 24 hours a day is light and 24 hours a day is dark. You know this phenomenon, don't you? In official science, this is explained by the tilt of the Earth by 24.5 degrees and the location of the Earth relative to the Sun.

PZ : polar day- this is when the sun does not set below the horizon for 24 hours. That is, it spins above the Horizon Line, approaching the horizon, but not disappearing below it.

Interestingly, the photographs of the Polar Day and Night most often show from the North Pole, but very rarely they are shown from the South Pole. Do you know why? Because in the Flat Earth theory, the Sun does not illuminate the South Pole 24 hours a day. But there are no problems with the North Pole.

Here is an example.

How to check South Polar Day?

No way.

The South Pole is CLOSED for visiting, CLOSED for inspection. There are only government"scientific stations" and " military". Both the first and second government + military) are known as liars with a long, long history... It's not for me to tell you. So there are only 2 options left:

1. There are no days at the South Pole when the Sun is 24 hours above the horizon.

2. There is Polar Day at the South Pole, when the Sun is 24 hours above the horizon.

But, even if it is really shown that there is a Polar Day in Antarctica, then we have a theory. It uses the concept of reflected light from the DOME. Schematically and mathematically it looks like this.

By the way, since we have already started talking about Antarctica, then all of our people are showing some unhealthy interest in it. Earth Elite .

Chronicle for 2016:

1. February 12, 2016 Patriarch Kirill found in the Pope. February 18, 2016 - urgently flies to Antarctica.
2. Beginning of March 2016 - US President Obama flies to Argentina, from where he travels for several days in Patagonia. The territory borders on Antarctica, what he did for a couple of days is unknown. In the delegation with him was a representative of NASA.
3. November 11-12, 2016 - US Secretary of State John Kerry 3 days after the US elections - flies to Antarctica and is there, signing another agreement , which prohibits the entry of fishing vessels into the waters near Antarctica.

Some strange stirring around the icy wastelands among politicians and religious figures. Don't find?

But, let's leave that aside. Let's go back to the Sun and the evidence for a Flat Earth.

You A: Interesting, but that's later. Now m I am interested in the fact that the Sun should decrease in size if it simply moves away from us, and not set below the horizon in a huge disk with the same dimensions. After all, you say that the Sun simply moves above our head in a circular path.

PZ : Let's talk seriously about the Sun.

This video will be enough to prove that the Sun is decreasing in size, moving away from us in a straight line, when it goes to the horizon. Taken from observatory ABOVE cloud level. Link .

Now look here. You must understand that we very often see the Sun that sets above the level of the Earth. Mountains, hills, obstacles, buildings often block our view. And since they are much closer to them than to the real horizon, you see how the big and round Sun hides behind the "visible" horizon, although in fact, it is just REMOVED in a straight line and REDUCED.

Decreases BEFORE "vanishing point".

In this case, the point of convergence closed by a mountain. Therefore, the Sun is hidden from our view by a large disk, but still decreasing along the way.

Here simple experiment in flat earth proof, you can make it at home. Stretch the string across the room so that it has the same height from wall to wall. Place obstacles in his way, such as a book or a board (in this video, it's 4 bottles of beer that hold the carton), and so that the obstacle is below the thread. And then look from ground level to see what it looks like.

Get this is the "effect".

The sun will move away from you, and the BIG will go “beyond the visible horizon”, and not a point. That's all. No rotation of the Round Earth is needed for this.

This experiment didn't impress you?

Okay, then what about an obstacle on the horizon like iPhone 6? Camera on the ground distance of 110 meters from the camera to the person? Consider that in our case IPHONE is a MOUNTAIN.

THE MAN IS VISIBLE OVER THE MOUNTAIN.

You : And the last question about the Sun and the Moon - how do they fly in a lateral orbit? What keeps them in the sky?

PZ : magnetic levitation. Here are working devices with magnetic levitation.

Lamp ,
computer mouse,
armchair sofa ,
maglev train on a magnetic cushion.

Incidentally, this also explains ebbs and flows on the ground. Water repels magnets ! And the Moon and the Sun = magnetic background sources, so they are just " push the water apart» underneath and she runs off to the shore. Gravity here, as always, is superfluous. Ebb and flow is only in the Oceans and Seas with salt water, which are in the path of the movement of the Sun and Moon.

At home, check how ordinary tap water reacts to a comb. Just before that, run through your hair to electrical discharge hand over

The faucet is pure fresh water! And sea water reacts even better to electricity. There SOOOOOOOOL!

The ebbs and flows have nothing to do with the gravity of the MOON. Because most gravity doesn't exist at all. This is Newton's fantasy and invented power, how to describe the world and facts at the beginning of the 19th century. This is how the electromagnetic repulsion of the Moon and Water looks like. Schematically.

You:Proof 7. Photos from satellites? Photo from above? Are you still saying the earth is flat?

PZ: Have you heard about special effects in photography? And fisheye lenses, right? These lenses bend the image a lot in order to capture large area. Here are some examples:

1. Real round walls? Below = no distortion.

4. Round subway cars.

5. The spire of the church bows to the building on the right

6. Square Curves…

Horizon = Curvature.

What does the proof of a spherical Earth look like?

Now back to Space and the ISS. Here is a picture from 2008. Where is NASA recognized , that pictures are taken through a fisheye. These lenses are at the MIR station. Come in, check it out.

Here is the same picture in Wikipedia , where it says that the curvature of the Earth is due to the "Fish Eye".

Why use if the earth is round?

Correct, to warp a flat image, such as curvature proof.

Although all the photos, without corrections, tell us otherwise. Earth is flat! From any height!

You : Proof 8. Ballooners claim that with height we see farther, because we see beyond the horizon.

PZ : An absolutely stupid argument from the Sharovers (like all the others, by the way). Why?

Because

Here is an example - a flat lawn near the house. If you put the camera at ground level and move away from it, then you " hide behind the horizon". Is this evidence that a flat field suddenly has a curvature? No. Link to video .

You : I like this explanation. Accurate and with evidence.

Proof 9. And yet, what about the satellites? Communication / satellite TV / GPS? How are they explained on the Flat Earth?

PZ : Communication between continents without wires was long before satellites. The first transatlantic radio contact was successfully made in 1906, from Brant Rock, USA to Mahri, Scotland. Nobody heard about the satellites for the next 50 years, and the continents ALREADY communicated with each other.

Today, 99% of all Internet traffic is carried by submarine ocean cables between continents, and not via satellites.

Satellite dishes on homes are only called "satellite" because they all look at the horizon, NOT the sky, at a 90% angle. You see such antennas every day on houses and roofs, right? Are they looking vertically UP IN THE SKY at the satellite?

Or —————————> TO THE HORIZON?

"These antennas" receive conventional radio signals from conventional transmission towers standing on the ground but not from outer space. Can you see the tilt of the antenna?

What you see with your own eyes on the houses is called " tropospheric» radio communication.

The distance of "tropospheric radio communication" is 300-800 km. The signal bounces off the ionosphere. What modern scientists call the "Ionosphere", I call the "Dome". It's a flat-earth dome that bounces radio waves down to Earth.

And everything that is less than 300-800 km can be covered with additional 300 meter towers, as shown below. The signal "on the dish" comes from the radio towers.

Do you recognize these engineering creations 200-300 m high?

Why do you need TV satellites? Everything works without them.

You: What about GPS and Flat Earth?

PZ: GPS - Global Positioning System. Its only purpose is to convince you that it " GLOBAL “, i.e. = GLOBE, i.e. BALL! And how does it work?

In cities, she works at the expense of towers mobile communications. And 3 towers are enough to determine your location exactly to the meter. It is called - Triangulation .

Outside the cities, there is an ordinary radio network with powerful towers that cover most of the Earth. It was first used during the Second World War to navigate ships and aircraft, when no one had heard of satellites. next 20 years... The accuracy of determining the ship at sea is 150 meters with a range of 1,500 km! Name - LORAN and DECCA. Come in, check it out.

Here is the tower LORAN 190 meters high in Canada.

In 2000 they were renamed GPS and shoved into your cell phone with beautiful cards. The system is operated by the US military, and how it actually works you will never know. Just as you won’t find out why the Kursk nuclear-powered ship sank, and how many full-time military of the Russian Federation died in the Donbas and in Syria. The military will always lie.

As you understand, positioning systems worked successfully BEFORE even the idea of ​​... SATELLITE ...

You: Anyone else know about this theory?

PZ : Everybody knows. This is not a secret. For example, NASA in its calculations and models of aircraft flight in the air uses a model of a FLAT and NON-ROTATING Earth.

That is, future pilots are taught on models that have not heard that curvature must be taken into account, or that the surface of the Earth rotates under them. Why? Because it doesn't really exist.

You can download the document . E it is written on the first page in the first paragraph.

Here is another document for FAA (Federal Aviation Administration, USA), where it says that software for flight simulation should be as close to reality as possible, for high-quality training of pilots in the air, training of controllers on the ground. Therefore, everything must be exactly in calculations.

Various situations and behavior of the aircraft in the sky are played here. "The Engineering Analysis and Design of the Aircraft Dynamics Model For the FAA Target Generation Facility". You can download.

On page 32 it says in plain text: we we do not take into account the rotation of the Earth, and the flight passes over flat earth«.

Simulation as close to reality as possible, right?

So what is our Reality then, dear pilots?

Official cards?

Here is the official flat earth map for a wide range of users. Created in 1892 year, a paper copy is kept in the library of Boston, USA. What is interesting in it?

3 moment!

Moment 1 : Right at the top of the card is written in large letters

"AS IT IS"

which means " in fact »

Moment 2: Right and Left says: scientifically correct« (scientifically and ) and " practically true« (practically correct). Seriously

Moment 3. The bottom of the map shows how the Sun moves in June and December. Where do they come from June 21 and December 21.

June Solstice.

« The white oval shows the location of the Sun in the Tropic of Cancer, in June, at noon. This causes 24 hours of sunshine in the Polar Regions (Polar Day). After June 21st, the Sun begins to spiral towards the South until it reaches its final point on December 21st.«

December Solstice.

« On December 21, the Sun moves across the Tropic of Capricorn, and as it moves, it illuminates the South Antarctic ice sheet. There is no light below 80º S, only unexplored regions of ice. On December 23, the Sun completes its South move and begins to move back towards the North Pole, ending its season."

In addition, all the most serious organizations in the world such as the UN - the United Nations, ICAO - the International Civil Aviation Organization, IMO - the International Maritime Organization, WMO - the World Meteorological Organization use the Flat Earth map. irony, true?

Organizations that control the globe,
use flat earth map..

question in a million: Can you find Antarctica here?

Pilots.

Sailors.

Climatologists.

Did you find Antarctica?

And it is considered the 6th continent of the Earth, actually ...

Google reveals original drawing for Winter Solstice . So, by the way. There's nothing special here.

2. Question 2. What experiment was carried out to reveal Gravity? - Answer . There is nothing to check here, Gravity does not exist, it is a fictional force that exists only on paper.

3. Question 3. How does the water in the oceans curve in an arc? - Answer . No way. Water in the oceans in a horizontal position, from the North Pole to Antarctica.

4. Question 4. Is the curvature of the Earth taken into account when building long bridges, rails, shipping channels and pipelines? - Answer . No, it is not taken into account, because there is no curvature. There is only height.

5. Question 5 . Physics of the XXI century. standard model elementary particles our Universe (in short, how everything works in the world) includes only 3 forces: electromagnetic, weak and strong interaction, does NOT include gravity in its calculations. - Answer . He does the right thing by not turning it on, because gravity does not exist.

6 . Question 6. How did the Vacuum of Space not suck out the Atmosphere? - Answer . Atmosphere protected by the Dome.

7. Question 7. Why doesn't gravity pull clouds? - Answer . Different density of air near the Earth and air at altitude.

9. Question 9. How rivers (water) can flow UP? - Answer . They can't and you know it. Water always flows down.

10. Question 10. Why do airplanes fly so strangely?- Answer .

Regarding the first example, the Bali flight - Los Angeles landed in Alaska. Here flat earth map and a straight line between the two cities.

About routes through Antarctica. Where to fly?

Fly in circles? From Africa to Australia, there's not enough fuel. From South America to Australia, there's not enough fuel. From Africa to South America- there is not enough fuel. Keep in mind that Antarctica goes in a circle for a distance much greater than the equator. And the equator itself is 40,000 km in circumference!

But, like this, flying in a straight line is the most it!

Therefore, no one will pull optical Internet cables from Africa to Australia and South America. It's VERY far away. Red zones are empty.

You : Well, OK. Governments know that the earth is flat. They have evidence of a flat earth, a map of a flat earth, then what is the benefit of hiding the truth?

PZ : Because there will be a disaster in science.

No Gravity = No Globe = No Rotation = No Big Bang = No millions of galaxies, planets and stars = No aliens = No Evolution = No link between living organisms and humans = Is that enough to keep silent about the shape of the Earth?

Gravity is a Religion for Scientists. Everything that cannot be clearly explained is explained by the mysterious word Gravity. From RELIGIONS DO NOT REFUSE!

Why is the earth round? — gravity .
Why do people not fly away from the rotating Earth? - gravity .
Why doesn't water fly away from the surface of the Earth and collect at the Equator, where is the maximum speed? - gravity .
Why is the moon in the sky? - gravity .

Replace the word " gravity» word « God «, and get the same result. Level explanations ZERO «.

Why is the earth round? — God decided so .
Why do people not fly away from the rotating Earth? — God decided so.
Why doesn't water collect at the Equator, where is the maximum speed? — God decided so .
Why is the moon in the sky? — God decided so.

I will say by secret:

« Gravity is the force that attracts the Absurd«.

Do you know why?

Because after Newton came up with Gravity, science has evolved this way for the last 300 years.

Scientists have realized thattheory of gravity will lead to a singularity (the whole universe will shrink, in the end, to a point) then they invented"Dark Energy". It is, in principle, Anti-Gravity. But, as a result of further calculations of the formulas, they realized that the expansion"Dark Energy" will lead to the rupture of Einstein's "space-time", and then they came up with"Dark Matter" which must balance"Gravitons" of gravity and "Dark Energy".

Before us is a fictitious force, which should explain another imaginary power, and so time after time when formulas don't stick.

But in fact: "Gravitons" do not exist, hence Dark Energy does not exist, hence Dark Matter does not exist. And when you are forced to believe in things that exist only on paper and in dreams, then this is not science, this is -"MAGIC".

Therefore, physics for 2017 rested its forehead against the wall and is waiting for a new Prophet who will explain what and how. Without "gravity" and other "magical entities".

What about us?

And we need other answers to questions as old as the world: “Who are we?”, And “What have they forgotten here?”. Without "magic", "gravity" and "ape-people theories".

ORIGIN OF THE WORLD:

1. Divine version of the world. You heard about it, the world in 6 days. According to the Bible.

2. Version - Big Bang with Evolution proposed priest Georges Lemaitre)) and Darwin.

“There was NOTHING, then suddenly nothing happened to this NOTHING and NOTHING exploded! Then all the exploded and scattered NOTHING magically transformed itself into matter and living particles, which still magically learned to copy themselves, multiply ... And then there were dinosaurs ...

How do you like this theory from the Catholics of the Vatican? It is considered official "in science" for 2017. Seriously!

More options?

3. The most obvious is theory, O which we wrote recently. We live in the Matrix (Digital Universe), and it seems that this is a game for our distant descendants, for example, children 2100. People of the Future play the games of the Past. How do we play computer games about Greece, Feudalism and the Middle Ages. And our descendants play us - with 100% immersion in virtual reality Of the past. As fantastic as it may sound.

Generally.

PS: You won't be able to drag your flat earth theory into mainstream science. She is absurd.

Interestingly, it seems to me alone that such a solid world structure as the United Nations is hiding something from us? Or rather, it does not even hide, since this information is in plain sight, but simply does not finish speaking. Don't you see anything strange in the image of the emblem of this organization? Nothing confuses you and does not cause any associations? Now let's compare these images.

This is a picture of a flat earth and is exactly the same as the picture on the UN emblem. I hope all people with normal vision can see it perfectly. It turns out that on the emblem of this organization, which is considered a visible "face" and the official analogue of the "world government", our planet is clearly depicted as flat, and not in the form of a ball, as official science interprets.

That is, its emblem depicts exactly the same flat Earth, the hypothesis of which is officially considered a "delusion" and "pseudoscience". And all the official textbooks "for general use" convince us that the Earth is a spherical body. But why, then, does the UN use the flat Earth as its official emblem? And it's not just the UN. It is the same images that are on the emblems of some other organizations.

Maybe we are "not catching up" with something? I am not a supporter of the "flat earth" hypothesis, but when I read "100 proofs of a flat earth", I noticed that along with the obviously "far-fetched" among them there are those that, at least, make you think about do our textbooks really tell us the truth? Or maybe there is a science "for general use" and there is a science "for the elite"?

And then, don't the numerous "fighters against pseudoscience" want to say that the UN and other organizations using the flat Earth emblem are dumber than them, or are they deliberately trying to mislead people with the help of "pseudoscience" and "superstitions"? I am more inclined to think that they are simply hiding some information from us. And let everyone else think for themselves and with their own brains.
