Every day, NASA gets harassed with messages and emails by uneducated people who think the Earth is flat. Seriously.
WHAT IS A FLAT EARTHER? Modern flat Earth societies consist of individuals who promote the idea that the Earth is flat rather than an oblate spheroid. Such groups date from the middle of the 20th century, although some adherents are serious and some are not.
THE BEST, EDUCATED RESPONSE, EVER! This month a brilliant meteorologist in Maine dispelled all of these "Flat Earther's" ridiculous theories in a five minute video. Like Conspiracy theorists, Flat Earthers are simply uneducated in science, physics, mathematics, history and astronomy.
TV Meteorologist Keith Carson has a simple challenge for those who think the Earth is flat. Carson, who works for NBC affiliates WCSH and WLBZ in Maine, spent nearly five minutes flattening the movement’s arguments. And if that wasn’t enough to convince them, he offered a simple challenge: “Find the edge of the Earth, lean backwards and prove to me that gravity is just another big lie.”
