  • Anti-science mentality is rampant in this day and age, and one of the more peculiar aspects of this trend is the current fad that is the Flat Earth model. There exists a group of people who believe that against everything we have come to learn throughout the scientific revolution, the world is actually flat, and the center of the universe. That's not all, there's a big cover up, with NASA, and all the governments, like some real sci-fi stuff. Let's go through some of the talking points of this model and see if we can deconstruct it, shall we?

But it happens that the poor guy stumbled upon the flat model first, before his good friend provided him with a source of information for the guy to rethink the earth model.
      Its like how school teach really basic science stuff like if you put static on an object, it can attract water because water is a polar molecule. Very simple to prove water is a polar molecule. Its replicatable. Later down the line in education, you discover more stuff about intramolecular forces, and electrostatic forces. You now realise that while it is true that water is polar because surface tension of water is caused by hydrogen bonding, the forces aren't enough to curve flowing water. And its simply electrostatic charge on the object that curved the water. Still simple and coherent and replicable.

      Actually his agenda is to vaccinate the entire globe. Dave's agenda is not to debunk flat earth but to attack anyone that questions whether vaccinations are safe or not. He's just using the flat earthers to smear what he calls "anti-vaxers".
      This whole agenda is to smear anti-vaxers. Dave uses the same technique that flat earthers use of guilt by association in order to achieve this without actually arguing the vaccination issue on merits.
      Mr. Dave is using the same technique flat earthers use but because you don't notice he's using baseless rhetoric to smear antivaxers just like the flat earthers use baseless rhetoric to smear those who know and can prove the earth is a globe.
      Why don't you notice it? Because he's deliberately hiding it by using real science to debunk flat earthers so that you'll trust him -- so that when he attacks "anti-vaxers" (his way of smearing people that dare to ask questions about the safety of vaccinations) you won't notice he's doing it because he first gained your trust by using real science to (correctly) discredit flat earthers.
      This has CIA written all over it. The average person is not that clever. Not that Dave is necessarily doing what he's doing knowingly -- he's probably just an unwitting asset.

    Once had an older friend who was brilliant but had formal education only through elementary school (in the 1910's). He had unparalleled knowledge of human nature but knew no science. One day he argued for flat Earth based on the following argument: "Let's say I leave my house, go have a meal at a restaurant, a drink at a bar, and have sex at her house with the cute girl I picked up, and come home and my house is still here. If the earth moves, how is that possible?" He was utterly convinced by my counter argument: "Let's say you are in your seat on the train going from LA to Chicago. You go have a meal in the dining car, a drink in the club car, and have sex in a berth in the sleeping car with the fine woman you met. Then you go back to your seat and it's still where it was when you left. Does that mean the train didn't move?" A light went on in his head and he understood. At the age of eighty he became an eager science student, learning everything I could teach him. He lived to 101, getting to see the new millennium, having been born in the last few days of the nineteenth century. Rest in peace, Tony.

    I seriously pissed off a Flat-Earther not long ago during an online debate. He actually blocked me, and then left the debate saying, and I quote him "F-U guys, you tricked me to coming here". LOL
    Ok, here was what I'd done. I put up a set of four flat-earth maps and asked him to pick which one was the correct one. Which he did. Then I asked him to explain how the sun and moon caused day and night. THEN I asked him, "Ok, on this same map, how do solar and lunar eclipses happen? And he began to stammar and haw and go "they don't exist, it's a hoax, a conspiracy, " etc... and I said politely "Sir, we see them all the time, one is coming up in a couple of weeks, a solar eclipse. If what you say of day and night cycle is true, then how can this happen?
    And he immediately blocked me after a few nasty choice words and insults.

      Mark Sargent, the eminent flat-earth scholar (/s), goes to see a solar eclipse.
      He complains about having to drive three hours to see it at totality: _“Is that worth it? No, not in my opinion,”_ but he'll go anyway, because _“all we have to do is get the attention of people.”_
      The experience changes his view: _“Totally worth it. Worth it. Worth every second of it. So glad I'm here.”_
      But, of course, he doesn't say, _“It happened exactly when and where the astronomers said it would! Why can't we in the Flat Earth community make predictions like that?!”_
      And he also didn't say that solar eclipses _don't exist._ Even for a flat-earther, that would be a difficult thing to say while actually looking at one.

      Maybe just leave well alone; but has she thought about all the other people who have to be "in on the secret"? Not just professors, but engineers, navigators, airline pilots, geography teachers, amateur astronomers ... the list is endless. Could they all really be in on it? It's absurd.

Like how does the moon work? How far way is the moon? How come we can only see one side of the moon no matter where we are on earth? How come the moon doesn't change sizes as it moves across the night sky? Any flat earther who has any hope of coming to their senses, will realize they were conned once they recognize that they cannot explain how the moon works without admitting the earth is round.

    This is brilliant. Thanks. As a science teacher, I try my best to instill scientific literacy into my students. It is so important that our youth grow understanding not only how the natural world works, but more importantly, how to question and problem solve without bias. I was just thinking, I bet there are not any Astronomers, Astrophysicists, Rocket Scientists, Planetary Scientists, Meteorologists that believe in the flat earth. There is no mathematics in the flat earth model that would allow a rocket to travel into space, to use the gravitational pull of the earth for acceleration, and to reach another body in space.
