Let’s take a look at some bizarre ‘Flat Earth’ theories to understand these communities better: That’s the only possible outcome of water on a spinning ball. If you submerge a tennis ball, for example, into water and throw it into the air spinning the water will fly off. We are told gravity causes millions of tonnes of ocean to stick to a spinning ball, a force apparently strong enough to do that, yet insects can fly around freely not be drawn to Earth’s centre as strongly. This wouldn’t be possible if Earth was a spinning ball hurdling through space. We see the same stars at night every night from thousands of years ago. also haven’t been designed to take the supposed curvature of the Earth into consideration – why? because Earth is flat. They fly straight, if Earth was a sphere they would eventually fly out of the atmosphere.īridges / traintracks etc.
(Research: Admiral Richard Byrd – Antarctica )Īirplanes do not dip to curve with the supposed curvature of the Earth, there is no need. That’s why the UN have banned any exploration of the area, there is land beyond Antarctica that they are keeping hidden from us. Here is one such flat-earther quote from their Facebook page:Įarth is a flat plane, surrounded by a giant ice wall going on for miles (south pole/Antarctica). People who are an active part of the community often post debates talking about how the idea of a ‘sphere’ earth is absolutely ridiculous. If you still aren’t convinced that there are full-fledged societies that actively advocate the Flat Earth theory, here’s proof: NASA employees, as the flat-earthers believe, guard this ice-wall to prevent people from climbing over and falling off this disc.’ The modern flat-earth theory was first propounded by Samuel Birley Rowbotham in his 1865 book ‘Earth, Not a Globe. The flat-earther theory, holds that Earth is a disc with the Arctic Circle in the center and Antarctica, a 150-foot-tall wall of ice, around the rim. A number of ancient Indian concepts (common to ancient Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism) have images where the Earth is basically portrayed as a flat-disc with four continents surrounded by mountains, which is the theory most modern Flat Earthers endorse.Īccording to their Facebook page, ‘the Flat Earth Society dates back to early 1800s.
These communities take inspiration from ancient manuscripts and scriptures found in Greece, India, China and other cultures. Yes, there are groups that are spreading the ‘flat-Earth’ theory from as early as the 19th century! If you’re absolutely uninitiated, let us introduce to a school of thought that believes the Earth is flat rather than an oblate spheroid like most of us do.
