Any of you guys ever been to this website or their forum? It's as crazy as it sounds. A bunch of guys who believe the earth is flat. I don't think they're all trolls either. They have maps, invented their own form of calculus and have their own laws of physics. One of their theories is called "Bendy Light" I shite you not. They discount ANY evidence that contradict their beliefs and provide no evidence to contradict yours. There are a number of people with a grasp of physics who try to talk sense in them, somehow in a much more calm and collected manner than i ever could. They are absolutely 100% batshit nuts. It's quite fascinating, really. That there are actually people out there as ignorant as these people. Read some of the threads. Check it out. But don't stay too long or your brain will start leaking.

It's seems like most of the posters are not "FEers"

FEers don't believe in satellites as the existence of satellites can be used to disprove that the earth is flat . Satellites can take pictures of a round earth and FEers don't like to see them. For FEers, those pictures are fabricated.


What in the frick.

It's been posted on here before. Most of the posters on that board are actually people that try to show the few lunatics people that believe in a flat earth the error of their ways.

I've actually read a lot of that site, and as a man who loves Physics, the theories that site comes up with are just flat out insulting to read.

the sun is black and possibly a hollow electromagnetic converter. If it's true that the sun cannot be seen from space and is only visible through our atmosphere, I wonder if the Anti-moon looks black through our atmosphere but is visible in space. All the lunar eclipse photos and videos I've seen are taken from Earth. Does anyone have any taken from space? And to be clear, I don't mean taken from a NASA telescope. I mean from a manned spacecraft. Not that it would prove anything to me as I tend to not believe most of what I see from NASA. But it would be interesting to see how they would try to prove it's the Earth's shadow.

Why would NASA cover up the color of the sun or shape of planets? What is to be gained?

They don't want people to know they actually CAN fall off the edge of the earth.

You can't bring up photographs with those people, they'll dismiss them as fake. Same for any videos from the ISS.

They'll say the Coriolis effect doesn't exist (despite every single hurricane that has ever existed proving otherwise), and that people can't actually see things disappearing over the horizon.

They also think that GPS is powered by a series of hidden government weather balloons because satellites don't really exist either.

I'm about to get on there and start a fund to send me to the edge of the earth to report my findings. We can get to the bottom of this once and for all.


no seriously all you would have to do to debunk their whole myth is to fly or boat along those southern hemisphere latitudes some distance and time it. When they are the same as the northern hemisphere their entire map is wrong.

Im not sure what is more pathetic.

The fact that there are so many people on that site or that some of them have over 20,000 posts there.
