Spherical-earth deniers!
« on: May 19, 2018, 03:20:07 PM »
I'm saddened that their first conference is in this country :

So many laser-tests have been done that show we live on a sphere, wtf is wrong with these people, do they hate everything so much that they enjoy denying something so fundamental?
Civilisation is a race between disaster and education ...

Technically we live on an oblate spheroid.

It's slightly flatter at the poles.

Sorry gm66, but I'm overjoyed that isn't taking place in America.  We have a surplus of crackpots.

I think a decent % of these guys are just trolling or in it for the sh##s and giggles.

Some folks just need something to believe in

I don't hold it against them until they disagree :)

I jest though. Plenty believers in many things that seem very intelligent but have a particular belief system.
