hauxwell Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 We now have satellite photos of the Earth showing it is round. We have come along way since the days of Christopher Columbus when people believed the earth was flat until he told them otherwise. Well I think he did.

The flat-earthers claim that they have proof that the photos are faked. Of course the moon landings were faked as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you search for "proof of flat earth" or a similar phrase, you will find quite a few websites. One of the claims they make is that ships do not disappear over the horizon due to the curvature of the planet; their explanation is that the ships are so far away that they become so small that the naked eye cannot see them, but with the aid of a powerful pair of binoculars the ships can be seen once more.

I realise that, @fatrajah - just wondered if anyone had a quick link. TBH, I can't be bothered - I tend to disregard crack-pot theories and this is one of the biggest.😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclecar Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Some years ago I worked in an office with a very domineering manager, always demanding the impossible. For Christmas we bought him a year's subscription to the Fortean Times. He was not amused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
