Flat Earth
-
Stumbled onto this while ago. I did not realize that some people actually believe in a flat Earth. I knew that there are a few fringe groups that embrace Geocentricity instead of Heliocentricity (as if that isn't weird enough) but this just blew me away. There's some amusing techno-babble at the site if you're so inclined (link opens their FAQ): Click[^] :laugh:

Put a marble on the centre line of a motorway/highway. What happens? It stays there, that's what. Ergo the world is flat. Ipso facto, I rest my case.

"Please note that in Hinduism, the Earth rests on the back of four elephants and a turtle" Those elephants have got to get hungry eventually, I wouldn't want to be the turtle!
The Turtle has a name, Great A'Tuin, and is of the species Chelys galactica.

Hollow earth is a nice theory too! Hollow earth explained on wikipedia[^]

Also some people think the earth is only 6000 years old, they say they're called creationists, I say they're fucking crazy.

Isn't it 4,000 years for Jehova's Witnesses? I remember one such chap trying to sell me a book containing quotes from Carl Sagan that proved the Earth was only 4,000 years old. He couldn't understand why tears of laughter were running down my face.

Ergo the world is round.
Ergo it's tarmac! If the world were round, it would augment the curve of the tarmac, causing the marble to shoot off to the side like a missile, puncturing tyres and fuel tanks and causing explosions and Oh, the Humanity!

When someone holding an apple insists that they are holding a turtle, there really isn't a whole lot you can do about it... The point is, if someone's point of view is so distorted that common sense is no longer common, you can't have a sensible argument with them. :sigh: These people are such kind of people and whatever "evidence" you throw at them won't change their minds. Even putting them on Soyuz won't help because they will explain away the experience of departing earth that they are actually travelling in some weird trajectory or that what they see out of the spacecraft window is made up and the window is actually a video display... It's amazing how much effort these people put into explaining things that have been needlessly complicated by their basic assumption.:cool:
Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike... me...

I was thinking this as well. Nature generally looks for the simplest solution.
