Flat earth projection. What facts do those who claim that the earth is flat rely on? Flat Earth in the context of contemporary art

On September 25, 2017, the REN TV channel showed an episode of the TV show “The Most Shocking Hypotheses” with Igor Prokopenko. The topic of the program was the “flat Earth theory.” The authors gave the floor to those who, in the second decade of the 21st century, continue to believe that the sphericity of our home planet is a myth.

Among the heroes of the program were former NASA employee Matthew Boylan, who claimed that he was forced to edit real satellite images to make the Earth appear spherical, and Pavel Sviridov, one of the most famous “flat earthers” in Russia. The latter announced his performance in the program on the Internet: “I am involved in the creation of this film. As you know, success on television is measured by ratings. Therefore, I appeal to you with a request - spread the information about this film as much as possible, let as many people as possible watch it, be active, write reviews, discuss, including on the channel’s forum, and then we will break through this dam of lies and silence.” In the program, Sviridov states that NASA, showing footage of astronauts from orbit, actually uses chroma key and other technologies, falsifying reality. The floor was also given to other flat Earth supporters from among bloggers and amateur scientists who refuted all evidence of the spherical shape of the planet.

At the same time, real scientists were not given a chance to speak in the program, and it turned out that they had nothing to object to Sviridov and company.

“Who wants to know information that is recognized by official science - this is in a natural history textbook for the fourth grade”

The release of this program caused bewilderment for many; some of the audience did not hide their indignation. But the public experienced a real shock after it became known that the author of the program, Igor Prokopenko, became a TEFI-2017 laureate in the “Educational Program” category.

True, he received the award not for “The Most Shocking Hypotheses,” but for his other project, “Military Secret.”

The presentation of the award to Prokopenko immediately after the program about the “flat Earth” caused indignation among many. The journalist himself responded to the critics as follows: “I have no goal that a number of data that appear in my program are recognized by official science, for one simple reason: the program is called “The Most Shocking Hypotheses.” Anyone who wants to know information that is recognized by official science should read a fourth-grade natural history textbook. Those who want to know all the versions and hypotheses that exist today - from classic to the most ridiculous and fantastic - come to us. There is no contradiction in this."

The broadcast of “The Most Shocking Hypotheses” really had educational value. Thanks to him, the public learned about the existence of a not too numerous, but very active brotherhood of “stripe-landers.”

Rowbotham and comrades: how the “flat-earthers” appeared

In the 19th century English inventor and writer Samuel Rowbotham wrote a book in which, based on his own experience, he proved that the Earth is flat. He popularized his theory through lectures and attracted many supporters. In the United States, Rowbotham's supporters founded the Christian Catholic Apostolic Church, which preached the idea of ​​a flat Earth.

In 1956, the International Flat Earth Society was created. Oddly enough, the ranks of this organization were replenished even after the flight Gagarin and the landing of American astronauts on the moon. By the way, it was flat Earth supporters who actively promoted the version that the moon landing was a hoax filmed in Hollywood.

Disk measuring 40,000 kilometers

Supporters of the “flat Earth theory” are not deterred by the fact that even the Catholic Church has lost ground on this issue. In 1992, the Vatican officially exonerated Galileo Galilei, recognizing that the Earth is not a stationary body and does indeed revolve around the Sun. None of the prominent representatives of traditional churches today will seriously dispute the sphericity of the planet.

Nevertheless, “flat earthers” insist: our planet is a disk 40,000 kilometers in diameter, in the center of which is the North Pole. In fact, Antarctica and the South Pole do not exist - the wall of ice encircling the edges of the planet is mistaken for the southernmost continent. The Sun, Moon and stars revolve over the Earth's surface.

Flat Earth supporters do not consider images from space as an argument. In their opinion, the planet's scientists are in a conspiracy, and everything that is published is a well-thought-out lie.

“I'm going down. At the same place!"

In May 2017, American Darryl Marble I took a construction level with me on the plane and put it on the table in the back of the front seat. According to the man’s calculations, in 23 minutes of the experiment the plane must cover 326 kilometers. According to Marble, if the Earth has a curved surface, then the plane's trajectory will deviate from the horizontal by 8 kilometers. To compensate, the pilot would have to lower the nose of the plane. But this did not happen, which means, they say, the Earth is flat. The experimenter called the existence of gravity “just a theory.”

Blogger jeranism I drove my car 144 kilometers along the highway and recorded the entire journey on video. According to his calculations, if the Earth were a ball, then during the journey he would rise 1.6 kilometers. Since the road remained smooth and there were no bends, it means that no spherical Earth exists.

In July 2017, the fighter for a flat Earth became famous in Russia. Schoolboy Maxim Ozherelev on his video channel on the Internet he fiercely defended the version about the plane of his native planet: “So I jumped. The earth rotates at a speed of 400 meters per second. I'm going down. At the same place! I think why didn’t the Earth do this... movement, and I didn’t fly 400 meters somewhere?”

Maxim became famous throughout the Runet, but turned out to be not a very persistent person. After users ridiculed him, he chose to delete his videos and no longer speaks on this topic.

Is the spherical Earth the work of the Freemasons?

There are “flat-earthers” in Russia of a more sinister order, who consider a spherical Earth to be an insult to faith.

“This group was created to counter pseudoscience that encroaches on the foundations of the biblical world order,” say the project organizers. — Why do we defend the truth about a Flat Earth? The point is not that we, like all honest people, are fighting for the Truth. And not even that the plane of the Earth is obvious to anyone who has eyes and the ability to look with them. It's all about the question of trust in God... The Bible gives us a clear and clear picture of the world order. Modern science, financed by Masonic circles, denies this picture and substitutes its own, designed to confuse minds. We have a choice - who are we with? With God and the Bible, or with the Freemasons and their pseudoscience?

Nazi aliens are hiding in the depths of the Earth: what happens when you don’t see a doctor

Some supporters of the “flat Earth theory” abandon this idea over time, but this does not make it any easier for them. One of these “researchers” named Rodney Claff told the Daily Star tabloid that the Earth is indeed not flat, but spherical. But at the same time, it is hollow inside, and there is another Sun there, feeding energy to a parallel civilization. Supporters of the new theory differ on the question of what kind of civilization this is. According to some, we are talking about Nazis who went into hiding after the Second World War. Others believe that these are representatives of an alien civilization.

Claff and his like-minded people are convinced that there is a whole system of huge tunnels on Earth with the help of which “supermen” move, and NASA is aware of them, but hides the truth from humanity.

In connection with all of the above, dear readers, AiF.ru wishes you not to go crazy in the new year and to stand firmly with both feet on the surface of our spherical planet, relying solely on scientific knowledge.

Do you think the question about the shape of the Earth is absurd and crazy? How much convincing evidence can you give offhand that it is spherical? No one?
Then, when faced with supporters of the flat Earth theory, be prepared for an ironic, destructive “do you think so only because someone told you so before?” This strange person will have good reasons to look down on you, because even if he was deceived in his conclusions, at least he made them.
Two or three pieces of evidence? It’s hard to believe, but flat-earthers have counterarguments to most of the available evidence that the Earth is spherical. It may happen that someone who believes in the Damn Earth will smash all your arguments to smithereens in an argument. Without even convincing you, he will make you doubt his point of view and let you experience such an unpleasant phenomenon as ““.

"Hey, I'm doing a special, balcony gaslighting, want some gaslighting?"

Simply put, you will feel like a fool cut off from reality and unable to understand the world. Here, especially for you, are collected many well-known confirmations of the modern idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe Earth. Figure it out, this is important! If you are not able to firmly understand what shape our planet is, what are you even able to understand and correctly evaluate??
Well, if you immediately give 5-10 or even more compelling arguments for a spherical earth, I suspect that you are either a specialist - for example, a navigator or surveyor, or a person close to science - a physicist, geologist, or maybe an astronomer. Well, then it’s unlikely that you will learn anything new about our planet, but I dare to hope that I can cheer you up. The arguments of flat earthers can be very funny. It can be difficult to understand when they are being serious and when they are joking.

So let's start with the main thing. Everyone knows that the Earth is round, let’s find out why they are wrong :)

THE EARTH IS FLAT PROOF ARGUMENTS AND FACTS - flat earthers start and win :)

Do you think that I will give you different facts, points of view, arguments, and you will sit and leisurely read it with a bored look?

No, that would be too boring. I hid some of the information under spoilers. That is, it is available only after clicking on the plus sign.

I suggest you play the game. You will not reveal spoilers until you carefully read the material before it and think about how the information provided may be perceived by the opposite side. You guessed it, I praise you, you deserve it!

Agreed? Then let's get down to business!

AIRCRAFT

Airplanes do not adjust altitude during long-distance flights

As the flat-earthers whispered to me, the plane without constant altitude adjustment would fly into space or at least somewhere into the upper atmosphere, but this does not happen. Why? Because the Earth is flat - that's what flat-earthers mean. And what will the “sharover” answer? How do you think?

Sharover's answer

What looks like straight flight is actually a slow descent.
Over any period of time, the plane descends exactly to the altitude it would have risen to if it had flown strictly in a straight line. It is clear that the rate of descent is a constant value and there is no need to adjust it in flight.

WATER

Rivers flow in any direction

Rivers cannot flow upward, but they flow in completely different directions across the Earth.

Sharover's answer

Of course, I understand that for a person who believes in a flat Earth in the 21st century, it is difficult to understand the relativity of the concepts of “up” and “down,” but try it anyway. We take for the bottom where the gravitational force pulls us, but it pulls us towards the center of mass of the Earth. If you look at the globe and conclude that all the waters should flow to the “bottom”, that is, the opposite side from your current location, then once there you will have different expectations and the bottom will be where the top was previously. In outer space, in zero gravity, behind this dome of yours there is no gravity and therefore there is no feeling of up and down.

CONSPIRACY THEORY

Conspiracy of professionals

Professionals NEVER take into account this imaginary curvature of your planet - this is what flat-earthers say. Surveyors, pilots, drillers, architects - everyone makes their calculations based on the fact that the Earth is flat! They know, but every single one of them is in cahoots with the government, which in turn is under the control of the reptilians!

Sharover's answer

In fact, they do not hide and most of them are well aware of the spherical shape of the Earth:

To be fair, it should be noted that experts do not always take into account the curvature of the Earth in their calculations. For example, a surveyor to install an electric motor, or an architect to build a small building - this information is completely unnecessary. But the same specialist will definitely remember the need to make the appropriate calculations if he suddenly has to deal with an object the size of a kilometer or more.

Flat earth on the UN flag

Unfortunately, Alexander Svobodny, one of the main flat Earth theorists, has prohibited embedding videos from his channel, but you can follow the link and watch it on YouTube:

He notes the fact that the UN flag depicts a flat Earth. The Illuminati once again demonstrates their power over us. “I’ll show you what the Earth looks like, but I’ll make you believe in a ball!”

Sharover's answer

A compelling argument. I even doubted my beliefs and made a request to the UN. The answer came: “We regret that the distorted image of the Earth on the flag may mislead you; we should have placed a globe on the flagpole.”

I don't know what to think.

OPTICAL EFFECTS reveal the shape of the Earth

Diminishment of the sun at sunset

Everyone has noticed that at sunset the Sun significantly decreases in size. This, say flat-earthers, can only be explained by the effect of perspective. We can say with confidence that at its zenith the Sun is as close as possible to us, and then gradually moving away it seems to decrease until it disappears completely.

Detailed and comprehensive information about the Sun:

Convincingly explains all the effects of sunset:

Sharover's answer

A lot of words, gentlemen. Now go to any store that sells welding supplies and buy a light filter there. Looking through it, you can not be deceived by the blinding light of the Sun, but can clearly see that at sunset it has the same apparent size as at zenith.

It is clearly visible - the rays diverge as they pass through the sky

Enchanting destruction of the baller!! Nature, tired of your stupidity, exposes you itself!!

Sharover's answer

Perspective is deceiving you this time, flat-earthers:

If you don’t trust your mind, are afraid of making mistakes in your reasoning and prefer to trust your eyes, then tell me, what do you see in the photograph you presented as evidence? At what altitude, judging by it, is the Sun. It seems to me somewhere at an altitude of 10-15 kilometers.

The photo is amazing, no doubt about it. A sight for sore eyes. But I also found some great footage:

Here the Sun is, if not 500 meters away, then certainly not further than a kilometer away.

And here it is right in the tree on the opposite side, or right behind it. How does it not light up? Heat resistant probably!

EXPOSING THE WORLD-KNOWN SCIENTIFIC “MISCONCEPTIONS”—The Triumph of the Flat Earth Theory

GEOGRAPHY

"Trip around the world

But what about the numerous trips around the world, the sharovists object? Don't they prove that the Earth is spherical?

Flat Earther's Answer

Your “around the world” travels are actually nothing more than wandering in circles.

"The Sailing Ship"

Of course, the spherical shape of the Earth is proven not only by a ship hiding behind the horizon. Any objects on the sea from a great distance are not completely visible if the observer is not high above sea level. As you move away, objects become more and more hidden from below.

This video clearly demonstrates how exactly the city is hidden behind the sea:

On a flat Earth, ships, cities, coastal islands, oil and any other rigs would visually shrink as they move away across the sea until they become indistinguishable.

Flat Earther's Answer

All your hiding behind the horizon is a mirage and an obsession and a deception convincing only for those who are happy to be deceived.

OUR ARGUMENTS - what will we cover with, gentlemen?

GRAVITY

Gravity is the most terrible thorn in the side of the flat-earther, his main fear and nightmare. After all, the “sharovers” have the most convincing evidence related to gravity that the Earth is not pancake-shaped, but rather spherical. With the modern understanding of gravity, there is no room left for any plausible reinterpretation such as that used by flat-earthers to explain all the effects associated with the horizon line.

Therefore, gravity is not explained, but is rejected and completely replaced by pseudoscientific heresy with the maximum degree of insanity.

"The earth is curling up into a ball"

Imagine that God or a huge alien took a rolling pin and rolled our planet into a huge pancake. What will happen next? It won't keep its shape. Under the influence of gravity, the huge masses of the Earth will unite and take on a spherical shape, just as water droplets do in zero gravity.

Flat Earther's Answer

There is no gravity. The earth is moving upward at an acceleration of 9.8 meters per second squared, hence the illusion of gravity.

Where does the force that continually accelerates the Earth come from? The earthen pancake is being pushed from the opposite side by thousands of angels!

Changing the vector when moving towards the edge

If the Earth were pancake-shaped, then being at any point other than on the central axis of this pancake, gravity would be directed at an angle to the plane of the “pancake” and, as it approaches the edge, it would tend to be parallel to its surface.

The following video demonstrates this effect clearly and excitingly:

Flat Earther's Answer

It was clearly told to you! - There is no gravity. The earth is moving upward at an acceleration of 9.8 meters per second squared, hence the illusion of gravity.

Changing the free fall acceleration

Have you ever heard, dear flat-earthers, such a term as “

Gravity varies slightly at different points on the surface of our planet. Based on these differences, if you have the appropriate knowledge and the proper level of intelligence, you can draw very interesting conclusions. For example, look for minerals, this is called.

Your “The Earth is moving upward with acceleration” will no longer work here!

And what do you answer to this??

Flat Earther's Answer

Eeeeeee!?? Right now, right now, I need to think...

Gravity - a word for a flat-earther

There should have been a continuation of the story about gravity from the sharovers, but for the pancake-earthers this makes no sense, so here they seize the initiative and convincingly explain to us why gravity does not exist and what actually exists instead. And the ballers - march under the spoiler!

The apparent simplicity at times greatly surprises the curious. It seems that the riddle is elementary and the solution is just a stone's throw away, but as you move closer to it, it does not appear and maintains the same distance. This happened to everyone who tried to prove it. It is formulated in such a way that it seems not at all difficult to understand and unravel. As if this doesn’t even require deep knowledge of mathematics. All it takes is a school course, insight, ingenuity and a little perseverance - and the “great theorem” will be proven in a couple of evenings.

Many even succeeded. A lot of people do! About the same as how you can create a perpetual motion machine. Everyone who proved the theorem before and everyone who created a perpetual motion machine was doomed to painful and fruitless attempts to convey their brilliant invention to the scientific community. The world is cruel and unfair!

So, if you descend, dear flat-earther, to science, you can find out that a top is called a “gyroscope” in its language, and its behavior is far from being as simple as it seems at first glance.

You are, of course, much smarter than the rest, since you know “how it really is” - so here’s to you.

There is a simpler explanation from the men of science,

Well, in a very simple way it will look like this: the top falls, but very slowly. Since it has a large moment of inertia, in order to noticeably change its direction, the moment of force must act for a long time.

Got it?

Then a video demonstration for a true understanding of flat-earthers’ speculations around rotation 🙂 in the light of the knowledge gained will come in handy:

Great video about the “anti-gravity wheel”

Fascinating experiments with gyroscopes by Igor Beletsky:

Gravity - Coulomb's Law

Our next anti-gravity scientist, claiming common sense and calling other physical theories casuistry, explains gravitational attraction by Coulomb’s law!

In case you, reader, have not fully mastered this nonsense, I will quote you “the juice itself,” the amazingly bold conclusion of the researcher:
“This raises an interesting conclusion. It can be argued that by instantly accelerating every atom of the body to the speed of light in one direction, a person will not only not suffer, but will not even feel it.”

It seems we have found a volunteer to send a cannon to the moon, using the Jules Verne method.

It’s just a pity that our genius does not favor experiments as an inquisitive mind should. Here is his answer to the question in the comments under the video about shielding:
“As for shielding, as far as I know: if you try to shield repelling magnets with foil, then nothing will come of it.”

Henry Cavendish's experiment

“What about Henry Cavendish?” - Are the sharers trying to object?

He's the presence of gravity!

No way, there is reliable information that the experiment he performed is good for nothing and does not prove anything. Flat earthers rejoice.

Cavendish's revelation:

We live in a world consisting of information fields, this is obvious and understandable to anyone who has ever thought about the real secrets of the universe. And, based on the latest scientific data, we can safely say that those facts that were previously considered prejudice have a real basis. One of these facts is that photography steals the soul. Of course, not all of it, but it leaves traces that are easily diagnosed with scientific instruments.

Yes? Why is this discovery not widely known?

Here we turn to the problem for which the movement for sovereign science was created, the problem that official science has been hiding real knowledge for many centuries. Scientists have long turned into a sect that functions only to create a smoke screen that allows them to manipulate people.
One of the most mysterious videos about Flat Earth:

What does this mean?
Look, what is the essence of so-called scientific knowledge? It is to imagine a person as a conditional, soulless grain of sand in the infinity of endless space, to literally hammer into his head the idea that he is a useless loner, standing in the face of emptiness. Endless proof of this is the essence of modern so-called science, which came to us from the West. Behind this veil, true knowledge is lost, and this loss is intentional.

What is it, true knowledge, and where to look for it?

I’ll answer the second part of the question first: you need to look in Russia. And to answer the first part, it is necessary to delve into history and understand when the phenomenon that today is commonly called official science began to develop in our country.

From Peter the Great, or more precisely from that agent of the West who pretended to be him. Today, all historians who have not fully joined the sect of scientists know that during Peter’s trip to Germany, a true autocrat with a great spirit, the Masons replaced their protege with a completely different person who returned to Russia. And it was this man who began to implant the so-called sciences in Russia, trying to completely knock out of people the real knowledge that still remained at that time. The process of transforming highly spiritual Personalities into rootless individualists-cosmopolitans has begun. And the tool for this transformation is science. Full, by the way, of the most obvious contradictions.

Which ones?

Wait. First you need to decide where exactly the true knowledge remains. It was at that time that the division of true science took place into the profane part, which we call science today, and real knowledge, which became the lot of the chosen ones in Europe, such chosen ones were the Freemasons, and in Rus' distant monasteries. By the way, it was for this reason that they were persecuted. Any true knowledge is based on spirituality and holy books, and pseudo-knowledge, that is, science, is based on cheap fabrications. The insidiousness of the West is that with the help of science they managed to deceive the whole world and hide true knowledge behind a special veil of science.

Still, let’s return to the contradictions that you promised to talk about.

No problem. Let's at least look at the theory that says that the Earth is a ball that revolves around the Sun. Even here, obvious contradictions are not noticed!

A recent sociological survey showed that almost 40% of the Russian population is confident in the correct biblical version of the Sun revolving around the Earth.

Doesn't the Earth revolve around the Sun?

Thank God no! And now, when Russia is experiencing a spiritual revival, even official scientists and ordinary people have finally recognized this! For example, a recent sociological survey showed that almost 40% of the Russian population is confident in the correct biblical version of the Sun revolving around the Earth. There is a positive trend every year, the percentage of those who have learned the truth is increasing!

The whole truth on VIDEO:

But everyone remembers arithmetic and supposedly basic physics! And this is enough to know the truth!

Imagine the situation: a plane flies from Europe to Japan 11 thousand kilometers, and arrives at its destination 10 hours later. As we all remember from school, the length of the Earth’s equator is 40 thousand kilometers. If the Earth rotated around its own axis per day, as official science says, then in an hour it would rotate 1,666 kilometers. It is so? Now think for yourself at what speed a plane must fly 10 thousand kilometers in order to fly this distance in 10 hours against the movement of the supposedly round and supposedly rotating Earth! More than 2700 kilometers per hour! At the usual speed of 1000 kilometers per hour, the plane would have flown completely in the opposite direction and would never have gotten anywhere! The same goes for the return flight: for him, the plane didn’t have to fly anywhere at all, just take off and wait, divide 10 thousand by one thousand six hundred and 6 hours!

What about pictures of the Earth from space?

From what space, my dear? Where is the evidence that space even exists? Everyone knows that no one has ever been in space!

What about Gagarin and the Americans on the Moon?

Gagarin was supposedly in orbit, not in space, and the Americans, as everyone knows, filmed their entire moon in the Nevada desert. This is all the same continuation of the conspiracy of the damned sorcerers-scientists! As a result, we are forced to admit that even official physics and mathematics, with common sense, clearly show that the Earth simply cannot be round! Here is one of the brightest contradictions!

That is, you claim that mathematics and physics cannot even explain the fact that the Earth is round?

This is pseudoscience! What can pseudoscience prove anyway?

The banal Pythagorean theorem immediately comes to mind.

Do you know why Pythagoras was killed?

For his true knowledge! All over the world, he collected mysteries that remained from the previous great spiritual civilization of Hyperborea, which was destroyed by the Great Flood, but traces of the ancestral home of which still remain everywhere on the territory of Russia! Fortunately, Atlantis was still alive then, and present-day Antarctica was a flourishing land. From there Pythagoras brought real knowledge. And, by the way, he did not age and was a Rus, that is, Russian. But his students, persuaded by the Freemasons, killed him. As a result, everyone now remembers Pythagoras only by the profane interpretation of his deep knowledge, which is now called the theorem named after him!

But the theorem works and has been proven many times

In my youth, I repeated the discovery of Pythagoras, independently proving a similar theorem, but it does not work! And the Russian proved it. His name, if you don’t remember, was Lobachevsky!

If so, then it turns out that mathematics and physics are not needed at all?

Exactly! It is not appropriate for true seekers of knowledge to fill one's head with Masonic teachings! Our task now is to restore, bit by bit, that spiritual knowledge that should become the basis of real science. They still remain in distant monasteries, at base 211, which, by the way, the Masons are still trying to find, in the greatest spirituality of our people. It is not too late to create true science, and on its basis a new highly spiritual civilization.
To do this, we must now uproot all pseudo-science and, throwing back the veil, plunge into the palaces of real knowledge, proving that we are not empty grains of sand in an endless void, but great Warriors of the Spirit! This is the main content of sovereign science, for the possibility of whose development we are fighting with the world behind the scenes.

If we leave the process of struggle alone for a while, then where should we start?

True scientists who strive for knowledge are now under enormous pressure. It is necessary to remove this pressure, which is created by scientists. Then all true forces must unite and develop a general theory that would explain all the secrets of the universe.

Is this possible?

Certainly! Moreover, it already exists! And it's called spirituality! The problem is that pseudoscience is built on the fact that it constantly replaces cause with effect. It is now necessary to break this vicious circle. The time has come to understand that it is not knowledge that leads to discovery, but revelation must be explained by knowledge. Only this way can be effective.

Do I understand correctly, but you are talking about the same thing that we often write about the role of science as a means of justification. True, we are talking about the rationale for the actions of the authorities.

Yes! And that includes the authorities, because this is a supra-mundane entity. And the actions of any supramundane entity require justification by knowledge. This is the task of true sovereign science.

And how is the implementation of such extravagant ideas going?

The ideas are correct, and not at all extra, why use such words at all, aren’t there enough Russian words?

Okay, independent ones.

It is progressing well, and there is support, albeit unspoken, at the very top. Recently, for example, the director of the Kurchatov Institute said that Russia needs integrated science that will find simple explanations for everything.

Is there any merit in this statement?

Thoughts are material, the information field permeates everything that exists. Therefore, of course, I consider such a breakthrough to be my merit: by pumping up the egregor of true knowledge, we influence the essence of things and other people. For now, this is where the movement sees its main task.

The same thing as everywhere to fight the obscurantism of official science and spread true knowledge.

Now, praise the universe, it is getting bigger and bigger. Just look at TV, there are more and more truly scientific programs. This means that the people are beginning to awaken from spiritual slumber and are beginning to understand the world differently than the official learned proteges of the West want to see. This means we will win!

For some reason, modern passenger planes do not fly in a straight line, but make huge circles. This is especially noticeable in the Southern Hemisphere: for example, planes flying from Australia to Chile never fly through the South Pole, although this is the shortest route. Or planes flying from Perth, Australia to Johannesburg (South Africa) for some reason fly through Dubai, although there is no need for them to make such a strange zigzag. Why do airlines spend millions of dollars on gasoline and travel costs when all routes can be built much more economically?

There is only one answer: in reality, planes fly in the most straight line - it’s just that the Earth is not really round, but flat, and the maps and globes that we are accustomed to are compiled by liars in order to deceive people. “I’ve also been wondering about flights for a long time. No matter who I asked, no one could answer. Well, in general, watch this wonderful video, there is a lot of interesting things there, and everything is clear,” Vetlitskaya wrote (the author’s spelling has been preserved). The conspiracy, in which politicians, scientists, and education system officials participate, has been going on for more than a century, although it costs nothing to discover the truth. The next time you fly on an airplane, don’t be lazy and study the horizon line through the window. You will see that it is absolutely flat, without any difficulty, exactly like on the ground. But with the help of a good telescope, the “curvature” could be seen even while on the surface of the Earth: for every 100 km of the earth’s surface there should be 196 meters of curvature, say the authors of another video on the same topic.

Are we being lied to? According to the singer, performer of the songs “Look into your eyes” and “Playboy next to me,” she had long suspected a conspiracy, and a video recorded by an unknown YouTube user finally allowed her to dot all the i’s. “And yes, skeptics and fans of officially approved concepts are not recommended to watch this video for the sake of preserving their fragile nervous system,” the singer warns.

Formal lie

Nothing is new on our Earth, and this is true regardless of its form. The ancients had no doubt that our planet was a disk, but they “scientifically substantiated” this theory in the 19th century. In 1956, the Flat Earth Society arose in the United States. Despite the fact that the society flourished in the 1980s, when its ranks included 3 thousand people, it still exists today.

According to the basic principles that society believes in, cosmology looks like this: The Earth is a flat disk with a diameter of 40,000 km. Why exactly 40,000? Because this is the length of any two meridians in geography textbooks. In fact, there are no meridians, since meridians are lines on the surface of the spherical Earth, and the Earth, as we already know, is a flat disk. Therefore, meridians are not lines from pole to pole, but simply radii of the Earth. And two radii, as we know from textbooks on another subject that is more applicable to our planet - geometry, are diameters. In the center of the flat circle is the North Pole. Where is Yuzhny? But there is no South, instead there is a disk boundary. What we used to think of as Antarctica is a long wall of ice encircling the entire Earth. How can this “not be”? Well, have any of you been to the South Pole and seen it with your own eyes? I personally don’t. And those travelers who visited there did not see anything special. Who said this is a pole? They were simply deceived by those involved in the conspiracy.

Where does gravity come from? - the reader will resort to a proven argument. It's simple: the Earth constantly soars upward with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s², and this is what creates constant “gravity”. The Moon and the Sun, of course, rotate above the surface of the Earth, and the starry vault itself circles above our planet. What about photographs of the Earth from space? And these are fakes. What about flights to other planets? But no one has flown anywhere, and no one will fly, because there is nowhere to fly. Above our planet there is a flat dome in which waters condense, rain pours from there, and excess water flows over the edges into the world ether. But if you check, get on a plane and fly to the Pole? But you won’t get anywhere: the plane will fall out into the air and be lost forever. Have you heard about the mysterious disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370? That's it: the pilot brought the plane in the wrong direction.

"Everything is sawn"

These scientists are an ungrateful people: instead of rejoicing that the authors of the YouTube videos have finally painted a consistent picture of the universe, they find fault with little things. For example, they ask how a disk-shaped planetary body could appear in the Universe? The laws of gravity are such that any large planet, no matter what shape it initially had, sooner or later under the influence of its own mass will turn into an ellipsoid close to a ball. Only small bodies like the satellites of Mars - Phobos and Deimos - can “afford” the shape of irregular cobblestones: for a planet like ours, there is no material in nature from which a stable disk could be made; in any case, it will wrinkle and begin to resemble on the ball.

They are trying to refute it ridiculously by referring to a school experience with recording the movement of the starry sky on a stationary photographic plate with a long exposure. It clearly shows that the entire starry sky is moving around the North Star. But if the same record is recorded in the Southern Hemisphere, there will be no North Star there, and the sky will revolve around a conventional point not far from a tiny star - Sigma Octantus. As if someone has the opportunity to fly to the ice wall surrounding our disk, and with the danger of falling over the edge, the ether will install a camera there with numb fingers!

They remind you that in order to make sure that a kilometer across the entire Earth has a total length, they advise Muscovites to fly to Milan with a meter ruler and compare it with the rulers there - the difference in length should be noticeable even between such geographical points. For them, 10 km is not a distance, but here some millimeters must not converge. They are outright lying when they say that planes avoid direct flights because, for the sake of safe navigation, they try to fly over land and not over sea.

Meanwhile, genuine science does not stand still: in her next post, Vetlitskaya revealed the ins and outs of the web of lies in which the world government keeps us. “On this space called Earth, everything has long been cut down and all the rules have been established” by a small group of creatures, “and everyone else is supposed to shut up and just follow the given commands, in general, a strict police regime.” And even later, a new revelation followed from Vetlitskaya, this time about the number of dimensions in our Universe. “Nothing will work out in the 3-dimensional world, don’t even hope,” the singer said in her next status. “Either you rise to a higher level of consciousness, or... Choose for yourself.” Indeed, choose for yourself which level of consciousness to rise to. I personally go out on the first one, where Copernicus and Galileo are.

This may surprise you a little, but some people seriously think the Earth is flat. This is not a joke: they argue about this a lot on the Internet, creating videos and websites, Microsoft Paint-level graphics showing that sunsets are just a video trick, and the landing of man on the moon did not happen - it was just a fake that they staged for us Freemasons. Below are some crazy "facts" that many of these so-called "flat earthers" actually believe.

Antarctica is actually a giant wall of ice surrounding the earth

Fans of the flat earth theory believe that Antarctica is actually a giant, 150-meter-high wall of ice surrounding the entire Earth, which is actually completely flat. This wall of ice keeps all the water in the world from spilling over its side and falling into... what, exactly? On the back of a giant turtle keeping the planet afloat? They honestly have no idea. Flat earthers think you can fall off the Earth, but since no one has ever done it, there's no telling what would happen if you actually went over that wall and fell off. Some people even believe that this wall of ice "protects us from everything that lies beyond." Who's there? White Walkers?

There's no gravity

Many fans of the theory that the Earth is flat also think that there is no such thing as gravity. They explain it quite simply: there is actually an "acceleration due to gravity," meaning the Earth is constantly moving upward, producing an effect similar to gravity. It turns out that we should not believe in Newton’s law of universal gravitation, and the theory of relativity can be thrown aside, since these ideas are “incompatible with the flat model of the Earth.” So what is causing the overall acceleration? Magic? Mostly! Flat earthers say the Earth may be lifted by dark energy, an unknown form of energy that makes up about 70% of the universe. The origin of this energy is unknown.

Photographic evidence cannot be trusted

The president of the Flat Earth Society says we should thank "special effects" for images of a spherical Earth taken in space. The FAQ page states that no photographs should be trusted. Hmm, maybe it's because no one took any pictures of the giant ice wall, right? It’s not just pictures that can distort reality, say flat-earthers. Even photographs cannot be reliable. Why? It's quite simple: modern cameras distort the image. Not only the cameras are to blame for this, but also “bent glass on airplanes”... How can this be compared? It's like closing your eyes, sticking your fingers in your ears and humming "La-la-la" when your boss tells you you're fired. But unlike keeping a job, there's nothing to be gained from trying to convince yourself that the world is shaped like a frisbee.

Satellites are fakes to deceive us

Flat Earthers are convinced that satellites are there to deceive us all. In fact, they are not real. Or there are none at all. Flat earthers cite the fact that even before the advent of satellites, there was a connection between the continents. And today, they argue, 99% of Internet traffic comes not from satellites, but from cables laid along the ocean floor. What about satellite dishes, you ask? Fans of the flat Earth theory have something to answer for this: in fact, these antennas are just called that, and they receive the signal from ordinary transmitting towers.

All the astronauts were bribed or forced to tell lies.

There is something to be surprised about, right? Just imagine, these people seriously believe that "the most commonly accepted explanation for this is that the world's space agencies are conspiring to lie to us about space travel and exploration"! What about the astronaut heroes? Well, they were "bribed or coerced into their testimony." Okay, let's try to argue with this. For example, a completely logical question arises: how much do astronauts get paid for all this large-scale falsification? The answer is not long in coming: members of the Flat Earth Society say that all space organizations give them part of their funding to continue to give us information about space travel. This allows them to make good money.

The earth is not only flat, it is also infinite

One of the boldest flat-Earth theories is that the Earth is not only flat, but that it literally goes on forever. Named the Davis model after the American president of the Flat Earth Society, John Davis, the theory suggests that the Earth "extends horizontally indefinitely." And somewhere under the flat disk it is pushed in the opposite direction by traditional gravity. Wait, but is gravity real? Yes, Davis's model conveniently allows for "finite gravity".

The Sun and Moon circle the Earth like vultures

If the Earth is a flat disk, what happens to the Sun and Moon? Well, they circle the North Pole like the hands on a watch (or like vultures on the carcass of critical thinking). Don't overthink it, remember: dark energy is pushing the flat, possibly infinite plane we call Earth upward. Antarctica is protecting us from something, but we don't know what it is. NASA was created to demonstrate imaginary space nuclear weapons, and there is no gravity at all... Don't hurt your brain trying to understand the physics of it all!

Humans have never landed on the moon

It's one thing to deny the existence of satellites or to say that NASA is lining the pockets of astronauts to keep doing nothing every day year after year, but the moon landing complicates the situation. There is so much evidence to ignore! The former president of the international Flat Earth Society, Charles K. Johnson, in particular, believed that the lunar landings were faked in Hollywood studios.

The Bible says the earth is flat

Former President of the National Center for Science Education, Robert Shadwold, says that the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, tells us only that the Earth is completely flat. Anonymous bloggers claim that a flat Earth is proof that God loves us: "When people wake up and learn these things, that the Earth is flat and motionless (as the Bible says), that the Sun moves, not the Earth (as the Bible says), that there is "The firmament (dome) above us (as the Bible says), they must understand that humans truly are the center of God's creation. This, in turn, is what should teach us to treat each other better."

Earth is not a planet

But if the Earth is a disk, why are all the other planets spherical? If you allow yourself to believe that not all images and photographs of our Universe are fake, you have to wonder why the Earth is so different from other planets? That's because the Earth is a different kind of celestial body: a perfect, ice-wall-bound, gravity-less, dark energy plate, perhaps standing on a turtle. This is the final conclusion of flat earthers: in fact, the Earth is at the center of the universe.

What?.. Yes, this is literally a massive psychogenic disorder or complete ignorance. Well, or just someone's stupid joke.

For unknown reasons, an increasing number of people - and even scientists - around the world are joining the "Flat Earth Society" and declaring all of humanity's current ideas about the Universe and space to be a global conspiracy to send humanity down the wrong path of development. The authors of works published by conspiracy theorists argue that the Earth is actually flat and surrounded by an impenetrable wall of ice, and the Sun and Moon revolve around a flat disk of the Earth.

All photographs of space objects, both natural and artificial, were declared by the British-American society of “scientists” to be fakes created for the purpose of misinformation. At the same time, the society’s slogan became ironic: “The Flat Earth Society has supporters all over the globe!”

Flat Earth theory

-And yet she spins!

"Flat" vs. "Round"

The early ancient philosophers Leucippus and Democritus also argued that the Earth was flat. But Aristotle in 330 BC provided evidence for the sphericity of our planet, based on changes in the horizon line and shifts in the positions of constellations at different latitudes. In addition, he noticed that the shadow of the Earth during a lunar eclipse is always round. In the 1st century, Pliny the Elder wrote about the sphericity of the Earth as a generally accepted fact. Nevertheless, the confrontation between the “flat-earthers” and the “sharovers” continued for many centuries with varying success. For example, in Western Europe and Muslim countries in the early Middle Ages (V-XI centuries), under the influence of leading religions, ideas about a flat Earth prevailed. But the development of astronomical and geographical knowledge led to the fact that already in the late Middle Ages (XIV-XV centuries) the sphericity of the Earth was not questioned by educated people and was not denied by religious authorities. However, in Rus' the concept of a flat Earth was considered on a par with the geocentric picture of the world until the 17th century.

Flat Earth Society

The society distributed brochures, newsletters, and other literature promoting the flat Earth model. And although Johnson died in 2001, the International Flat Earth Society continues to function. How many people are in it? no one knows for sure, the numbers range from hundreds to several thousand. But, judging by the Internet, there are supporters of the flat Earth theory in almost all countries of the world, including Russia.

Entertaining cosmology

The earth is covered by a transparent dome, above which the sun, moon and stars revolve, ensuring the cycle of day and night.

Gravity doesn't exist. In fact, the Earth is flying upward at a constant acceleration of 9.81 meters per second. And therefore, any objects thrown upward do not fall down, but are caught up with the ground. Thus, if you jump, the ground does not pull you down, but rather rises up and hits your heels. But if this theory is correct, the skeptic has a natural question: how can insects, birds and even airplanes fly? After all, since the disk rises upward all the time, a body that had been in the air for a long time would inevitably collide with the surface or even be flattened against it. What force is pushing the Earth up? “Flat-earthers” find it difficult to give a clear answer to these questions. But if you ask them what will happen if the planet reaches maximum speed, they will answer that due to the curvature of space-time, it can accelerate indefinitely.

Irrefutable evidence

Or, when a ship, moving away from the shore, disappears behind the horizon, this seems to be irrefutable proof of the sphericity of the Earth. However, the “flat earther” will object that if you take good equipment and adjust the magnifying zoom, then a ship that has disappeared over the horizon will reappear in the field of view. That is, our vision is limited by the point of perspective dispersion, and not by the horizon line. If you equip your eye with good optics, then there will be no horizon line limiting visibility due to the curvature of the Earth.

But what about the generally accepted statement that the Earth rotates around its axis and at a speed of more than 400 meters per second? "Flat Earther" refutes this with a simple and witty experiment. He will take a stone and throw it vertically upward. After a few seconds, the stone will fall to the same point from which it was thrown, although if the Earth is spinning, it should fall many meters to the side.

Supporters of classical knowledge will object to this that atmospheric pressure drags along everything that is in its field of action. That is everything. that which enters the atmospheric layer flies along with the surface of the Earth.

One day, the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli conducted an experiment. He filled a tube sealed at one end with mercury, turned it over and lowered the open end into a cup of mercury. The mercury column in the tube dropped to a certain level. Thus, the scientist proved the existence of vacuum, as well as atmospheric pressure, which affects any body.

Proponents of the flat earth theory believe that in the case of Torricelli’s experiment, no vacuum was formed in the tube, but mercury vapor simply accumulated there, which, at minimal pressure at the very top of the sealed tube, began to boil at room temperature. That is, there is no atmospheric pressure, and if a stone thrown vertically upward returns to the same point, it means the Earth is flat.

Worldwide conspiracy

There are no space flights and there cannot be. All the magnificent photographs and videos taken from satellites circling above our planet and by astronauts from orbital stations are a shameless fake!
