Although it seems incredible, the Flat Earthers, which is what they call themselves who still believe that the Earth is flat, still stuck in their skepticism. In fact, for more scientific evidence that is offered, they remain thinking that we live on a round disk that has the Arctic in its center and Antarctica on the edge.
Moreover, every day new foundations are made to continue believing in this way. They even believe that in Antarctica there is a wall that marks the end of the planet, and if you approach it, agencies like the FBI, the CIA and even more secret ones, could attack your life.
What is the basis of those who believe that the Earth is flat
Of course, it is no use to say that the Earth is flat because it was created by a powerful god, whatever religion it may be. Well, in some beliefs and cultures, still today can not say, but most of them do.
Thus, the new foundations for remaining entrenched in their beliefs indicate, for example, that when we photograph the horizon, for more kilometers to be seen in the background, everything seems straight, and not curved if the Earth were round.
Another of the pilgrim theories that defend a flat Earth indicates that the buildings in this planet, however elevated they are, are totally straight. These Flat Earthers consider that if it were round, everyone should have a certain inclination. Do you imagine the cities full of Towers of Pisa?
Another surprising theory of these believers of the terrestrial plain questions the entrance of the rays of the Sun in our planet. That is, if the star king is 150 million kilometers from our world (some are mistaken and refer to light years, so the rays would not arrive here except millions of years), and Earth is flat, How can the rays penetrate vertically?
More Questions on Flat Earth
But these believers of the strange have more questions to put in question the Terran roundness. For example, how can the surface of the seas always look flat.
Even celebrities, such as the famous basketball player Shaquille O'Neal, said to have driven from coast to coast by the United States and has not raised and lowered in angles of 360 degrees as if it were round. Just like this good man needs to know that the planet is a little bigger than just the USA.
In short, we already see that there are great minds behind these theories. There are even those who wet a tennis ball and say that if the water falls on the sides, should not it be the same on a round earth? Maybe, but unfortunately for these brains, gravity is persistent and does a good job.
