There's a growing number of people who seem to think the world is, in fact, flat. But it gets better. They also insist that Australia is actually just one big hoax. According to a viral Facebook rant, the entire country (and presumably the 24 million people that live there) is completely FAKE.
The idea resurfaced at a recent gathering of the so-called Flat Earthers in the Birmingham recently where over 200 people came together to confirm to each other that the Earth is nothing more than a giant pancake. The origin of the "fake Australia" post started on Reddit back in 2017 and was written by a Shelley Floryd. But it appears to be back in the minds of the spherically-challenged at the moment.
“Australia is not real,” the rant begins. “It's a hoax, made for us to believe that Britain moved over their criminals to someplace. In reality, all these criminals were loaded off the ships into the waters, drowning before they could see land ever again. It's a coverup [sic] for one of the greatest mass murders in history.”
Moreover, the post reckons that all Australians are nothing more than computer generated personas and if you've ever been Down Under yourself:
“you're terribly wrong.”
Hilariously, the pilots are apparently all in on it - and have just been flying you to parts of South America all these years. Flat Earth theories have been shot down by just about everyone capable of rational thought, but the theory is still enjoying a current resurgence. Over 200 conspiracy theorists gathered at a hotel in Birmingham for the UK’s first Flat Earth Convention. The convention, which took place over three days, saw nine speakers take to the stage to explain their theory as to why the Earth is flat.
According to The Telegraph , Dave Marsh, an NHS worker who spoke at the conference, said:
“My research destroys big bang cosmology. It supports the idea that gravity doesn’t exist and the only true force in nature is electromagnetism.”
While NASA has proved that the Earth is round using GPS, satellites, and images from space, Flat Earth believers claim that they have evidence that the space agency is lying. So what do you think about this? Let us know in the comments!
NASA Engineer here, some people are just extremely stupid. I have to keep reminding myself of this by repeating that the average IQ is 100, by definition.
ReplyDeleteThis means there are just as many people below the normalized mean as there are above it, which is about 3.5 billion to 4.0 billion people who are of less than average intelligence. These people in addition to not having a good scientific education, which is the source of their ignorance, are also suffering from narcissistic personality disorder, which is why they stubbornly resist accepting facts over their opinions, which are not factual in nature, & the reason they persist in believing something which has been thoroughly disproven.
This is the source of their cognitive dissonance.
