Ok, I already know what's going through the majority of people's mind and it sounds like...
We are in 2016 afterall, we've been to the moon and back 50 years ago...Why would that even be a topic? Well, I'm sorry to pop your bubble my friend but 2016 is the year of flat earth if you didn't know already. Check out google trend for example:
If you type "flat earth" in youtube search engine, you are going to get 6,690,000 results...that's a lot a videos! So what's the deal? Are those people just retarded or are they like NEO in the matrix trying to wake people up to the greatest conspiracy of all time?
I don't know.
Regardless, I took an interest in the topic out of sheer boredom and curiosity. I do not consider myself a flat earther but I think this is an amazing exercise in exploring "how we know what we know".
Here is the exercise: If you take all the information of NASA and the government out of the equation, how would you KNOW the earth is a sphere by using the scientific method? You may be surprise to hear some of the very sensible arguments they have on the objections "ball earther" have.
Some of the most compelling arguments in my opinion are in regard to perspective and the gyroscope experiments. Also, as you will be able to hear below, this US Navy Missile Instructor do believe the world is flat based on the science and technology he uses on water. If you do not believe this guy is who he say he is, check out his proof video under the interview video..
Anyhow, have fun with it! It's a fun topic to play with.
Are we inside a Truman show enclosed world, thousands of miles wide? This is part of a series of videos that shows not only is it possible, but likely.
This is his proof of duty.
