Flat-Earther's "Experiment" Goes Viral, Just Not In The Way He'd Hoped

[FlyingPenguin]

Seriously, are these people just trolling us? No one can be that stupid. Do they think GPS is some kind of hoax as well?

If you want the argue the earth is flat from a philosophical perspective, I can understand how that debate could pan out. However, from a physics standpoint this guy doesn't understand how gravity works or is pretending not to understand.

My favorite comment from the article was, "I want to explain physics to this guy but I might be violating the prime directive."

Yeah saw that a few days ago... Did he not look out the window to see the CURVE of the earth. Hey flat landers... why don't you all go take some pictures from the edge of the earth and prove science wrong? Or how about you prove your self wrong by flying a camera into space with a balloon and see it for yourself! Its morons like this that need to go.

I have thought of starting some kind of convention to cash in on the idiots but I can't think of what kind of stupid it would be.

Nah that seems small potatoes to what I was thinking. They just got a conference room at a hotel. I was thinking more like a convention with vendors and stuff kinda like comic con. But there just can't be enough idiots out there to support such an event.

They could share a convention center with the next Star Citizen confab...Make admission a 2-for1 deal.
