Flat Earth is the one thing conspiracy theorists are FINALLY wrong about...right??
As an open-mindedness-maximalist, I brought a few die-hard flat-earthers onto my podcast to state their case.
I also watched all the most popular Flat Earth documentaries on the internet, and compiled them into the link below.
No matter how insane you think this theory sounds, I HIGHLY recommend you pull up this playlist, and give it a fair shake. I promise you won't regret it 👇
Conspiracy bros were wrong about pretty much everything though
Im gonna watch for satire
the argument about not nose-down while flying doesn't make any sense. buoyancy changes with pressure... wouldn't need to nose down to maintain neutral while circling the (traditionally understood) globe.
likewise, the "flat" earth obviously has mountains and canyons, so what is meant by "flat"?
pretty sure i didn't even cover the nose-dropping point in any of the episodes, because i agree it isn't the strongest argument. there are much more convincing ones out there IMO
and yeah, the theory isn't saying it's all EXACTLY flat obviously, but an extremely large plane that's covered in terrain; think minecraft
What is the explanation for what is underneath or on the opposite side of the flat plane?
the first thing to understand is that the "flying pancake" model you see when you google "flat earth" is nonsense, that's put out there to make flat-earthers look stupid
the actual theory is that the Earth is basically the BEDROCK of the universe, so there is no space under it. the furthest humans have dug into the earth is 8 miles, and it's just rock, rock, and more rock. so that's basically all we know - again we can use Minecraft as an analogy here- when you go deep enough, it's just pure solid bedrock. if there's more than that, we haven't found it yet.
some models, like in the attached pic, theorize that you may eventually run into water again. we don't know, because we've never dug that far. one of many fascinating mysteries to ponder!
Any explanation on where or how the arc of the firmament meets the earth? Interesting that it is depicted as an arch rather than flat as well.
Well north and south poles would make the most sense to me since nobody is allowed to go there.
Are they guarded?
Supposedly highly, highly guarded. I’d love to read accounts of someone making it there if you have them!
Why would they bomb it?
Government shutdown to prevent sharing of 3I / ATLAS imagery is rich 🤔
Gotta admit I have not taken this seriously like I have with other conspiracies.
What do 'they' have to gain by convincing us the earth is round? Pearl harbor convinced the United States to join WW II. 9/11 inspired 20+ year middle east invasion.
