Arguments of those who still believe that the Earth is flat? (4 photos)

You know that some people still seriously believe that the Earth is actually flat, and all these stories about the Earth being in the form of a ball slightly flattened at the poles, evidenced by pictures from the ISS - it's all a fake and one big deception on a planetary scale?





Fortunately, I have never met such people personally, but they say that they are so confident in their rightness that no matter what facts are presented to them, they still stick to their opinion. They say that it is like talking to a madman. But let's still, at least for fun, try to consider their arguments.

You're all lying!

You're all lying! These are the words that can characterize the general, so to speak, trend of the "adepts". They seriously believe that there is a global conspiracy, in which, for example, scientists and astronauts are involved. Although wait! What astronauts? "Flat-earthers" claim that no one flies into space. After all, the Earth is covered by a dome that is impossible to overcome. However, for the honor of the "adepts", it should be noted that not all of them think so. What other arguments do they have, besides a global conspiracy?





You can often hear from "flat-earthers" that the curvature of the Earth cannot be observed with the naked eye. They say, even during a flight on an airplane. However, they do not specify that the curvature at such altitudes should not be observed. You need to rise tens of kilometers above our planet for it to be visible to the naked eye.

By the way, another argument of the "adepts" is connected with the curvature. It is that when artillerymen fire, they do not take into account that the Earth is spherical. It seems to be a weighty argument, but again, no. Artillerymen don't need to take curvature into account, because at the distances they're interested in, it's practically irrelevant.

Another argument of "flat-earthers" is connected with gravity. More precisely, with its "absence". They say that all this is an invention of scientists. Then why does a person, when he jumps, land on the ground? And the whole point, as the "adepts" claim, is that our planet is rushing upward. True, it is not entirely clear who or what is carrying it. But the "flat-earthers" do not want to understand this. The main thing for them is that their "argument" somehow explains the attraction of objects to the Earth.

If we are already talking about gravity, then we can remember rivers, seas and oceans. The argument connected with them is often mentioned by "adepts" in disputes. They say that if the Earth is round, then in the southern part of the planet the water would simply flow out. True, it is difficult to understand where it would go. Perhaps it would fly away into space.

Since "flat-earthers" believe that there is no gravity, then water cannot be retained in the southern part of a spherical planet. And this means that the Earth is flat. That's the logic!

The map of the Earth developed by "flat-earthers" deserves special attention. It is easy to guess that the continents and oceans look quite peculiar on it. The North Pole is located in the center. The South Pole does not exist at all, since the flat Earth is surrounded on all sides by Antarctica. It is a high ice wall. Since it is impossible to overcome it, people do not know what is beyond it (and space flights, as we remember, are fakes!).



But what about the shifts for and night? After all, the Sun should be above the center of the flat Earth and shine equally for everyone. "Adepts" have come up with their own "argument" here too. They say that the Sun is not located above the center of the planet, but moves over its edge. Therefore, the lighting is uneven. For example, when it is night in Asia, it is day in America. True, this position of celestial bodies is not confirmed by anything, but does this bother the "flat-earthers"? After all, the main thing is that everyone is lying. Especially scientists!

By the way, if you look at such a map, it turns out that the distance between, for example, South America and Australia is much greater than on a spherical map. How then do they manage to fly planes without anything being noticed? After all, passengers have to be told one travel time, but in reality it will be different. The "adepts" have once again decided to do everything simply. They say that people are lied to about the speed of planes so that no one begins to suspect something is wrong. In reality, they fly much faster, which allows them to arrive at their destinations on time. However, it is not entirely clear how this has been hidden for decades. The "adepts" advise simply not to pay attention to such a "trifle"!



But seriously?

Many educated people will not understand why this topic is being raised at all? Why draw attention to a small number of marginalized people? In principle, there is no need. But we must understand that if there are people who believe in a flat Earth and seriously prove it, then there are many more people who believe in any other nonsense, from everyday life to politics, refusing to think critically.
