I'll make an opening post about something I read recently and really caught my attention: Some people claim Earth is FLAT!
What? Yes. Flat. We're in the 21st century and this is still a topic.



It all started with American rapper B.o.B's tweets with pictures supposedly proving that Earth is flat, and talking about conspiracy theories about the NASA. Astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson joined the discussion argumenting why Earth can't be flat, and it all ended in a rap battle. Sounds funny, but it's true.

A star looking for publicity? Maybe. Or not. There's a society sharing the same thought, called the Flat Earthers. Their webpage is full of information, maps and a books about Flat Earth.

I wonder how they explain succeses like gravity, seasons, or how you see different stars from different parts of the world. Here is the original article where I read it. What do you think?

It just blows my mind that there are still people that believe the earth is flat. I looked at their mission page and it states their beliefs were founded on literal "interpretations" of the Bible. Violence and prejudice aren't the only things that give people of faith a bad name, but at least this is just plain silly.

From Flat Earth to Hollow Earth, it all somehow convinces people.  I would tend toward a hollow earth rather than a flat earth because I have been high enough to see the curvature of the Earth with my own eye's.  Bob's an uncle on a crack pipe and filled with rage at everything including science.  I had to listen to a lot of his songs and they really do explain his odd behaviors to me.  He made one of my favorite of all time videos, and it really doesn't make sense now  to me.  Watch it and judge for yourself.  Was he talking about Aliens too?   It's a great song of empowerment to the people, even the very clueless.  Is a flat Earth a symbol of the 2 dimensional social culture we live in that is becoming polarized into the dark ages when a flat world was all that made sense to the masses. At least this was my education to the songs as taught and translated by Jamaal, a rap artist ( a former employer) to me. It was a different culture for me, and I felt like I was the one walking in a Flat Earth being the one who stood out as different. The science of emotion and expression is still just a strong theory, but easy to speculate about with the ease of good gossip.

Really, what kind of benefit would anyone obtain from hiding that Earth is flat? I guess it'd make no difference for anyone which shape it has.

Sure, Religion (at least christianism) and science never get along well. Just made me remember The Big Bang Theory Sheldon's quote 

HLB, how high did you go to see it?

I was able to notice the curvature of the earth when flying in a commercial airliner at 35,000 feet on a clear day.  There was also a time when I climbed a mountain to 13,000 feet, and could see other mountain tops that were up to 500 miles away.  Doing so you can see the curvature because only the tops of the highest peaks are visible from that distance.

It must be great! I've flown in commercial airplanes as a child, but I don't remember much. I have a memory of one flight where the pilots let me go into the cabin, the sky was blue and immense but there were clouds as well. They looked like cotton candy vanishing lol!

pope johannes paul the 2nd had a comission (in office since 1979... they seemed to work really long on this subjekt) find out, that galilei was right and earth and all the planets are moving around the sun, like galilei said in his papers about kopernikus theory 400 years before.
