At the end of the documentary “beyond the curve” the flat earthers manage to get enough money together to buy a gyro laser to prove the earth isn’t spinning. It costed the 20.000 dollars. The found out the earth was spinning constantly. They said needed time to come up with an explanation why this would be happening when the earth was flat, but in no way they thought “maybe we were wrong after all”.
It’s bizarre they know enough science to be able to prove the Earth is round, but then ignore it anyway.
That doc showed the whole flat earth movement appeared to be one guy’s attempts to get into a milfy redhead’s pants. Poor guy was like a little lost puppy.
Not strange if you grew up alone in your mom’s basement and developed no social skills. Possibly home schooled and not blessed when it comes to intelligence. And the only thing that binds you to the other people is on the brink of falling apart, so they desperately try to hold on to it by refusing the obvious: a globe.
And what’s even more sad, is that there are a lot of influences trying to argue with their community, making fun of them and trying to destroy their fantacy. All to hoard in views and followers to make money from ads. Pushing these people even further away from reality and society,. Alienating them.
I also like when they got a light to shine through 2 holes and the distance they were at required them to elevate the camera because of the curve of the earth
Haha yeah! Actually I doubt they believe the earth is flat, I got the feeling it’s more an excuse for outcasts to unite and feel unity, the “us against the world” thing. Like: “If no one accepts me, I’ll just go all the way into weirdness and find others who are also not accepted, so we won’t have to be alone. Let our thing be so damn weird and stupid, no accepted person would dare to join us.”
But that’s just my hypothesis after watching this docu and some other stuff about and from them.
But there are some fanatics that actually believe it, but I think they need mental help because they strike as people having a constant psychosis. Even the general group finds them weird and extreme.
As an intellectual exercise, I rather enjoy flat-earth theories. “Knowing” that the earth is round, without having actually proven it for ourselves, is dogmatism, not science.
Constantly challenging even our most basic assumptions is how science advances.

I saw that scene. They were 100% thinking it, but they weren’t willing to say it on camera.

How do they explain pendulums?

It’s really sad.
