I'm just flabbergasted. Seriously? And this is the lead story for a major network news show! (Don't miss the video!)
Love the guy who wants to see for himself - is open minded and risks his life to make the trip. But does not believe his own government and many other countries who's done it for him already......and they brought home people with first hand experience and pictures who are all just lying to him. I guess its normal distribution that some will be the last believers.
I guess it gives an ego boost to read about these misguided idiots. All of us are, oh so far above them in intellect.
Actually the flat earth model has some good uses. Navigation of short distances is one. Mapping of small areas is another.
The planetary model, which has a spheroidal earth orbiting the sun, is also nothing but a model, useful for many things, but still only a model. Ultimate reality is a deep unfathomable mystery. We need models or symbols to stay organized.
I suppose there's some logic to their thinking. They only want absolute proof.
It is round.Like a plate
Yes, with ice around the edge. ?
@steve148 @Stig Yes, I was joking (and there was also a shot in the video of a flat-earther version of the world with ice around the edge)... But I was also thinking, it probably also makes sense to a flat-earther this way: when a normal person says "the ends of the earth" they're usually referring to the North Pole or the South Pole -- you know, where the snow is -- so, for a flat-earther, the snow is LITERALLY at the ends of the earth...
