These conspiracy theorists believe NASA and others are trying to keep this secret from the public. Many seem to think the Earth is a disk surrounded by an ice wall and that those who show evidence to the contrary - including NASA, with its many satellite pics beamed down of our blue marble - are fakes. The whole earth consists of 4 concentric rings of land, each ring having its own sun and moon, which would be our wandering stars," he says on the convention website.įlat-Earthers like Kenny agree that the planet is a flat plane, though they have varied ideas for the disk's particular layout. "It is my innerstanding that there are other lands, dimensions and civilizations yet to be discovered across and within the plane of our Earth. "It supports the idea that gravity doesn't exist and the only true force in nature is electromagnetism."Īnother speaker, Martin Kenny, purports to have broader views of a flat Earth than other believers. (Flat-Earthers believe the moon and sun orbit around Earth's North Pole.) "My research destroys big bang cosmology," he said, according to.
He studies the speed of the moon across the night sky.
Īccording to the group that put on the convention, the gathering also included some "alternative viewpoints." (You think?) When a plane or other object reaches the edge of the horizon, such as when Pac-Man reaches the end of the screen, that object will teleport from one side of the planet to the other, a la Pac-Man entering from the other side of the screen. One of the more interesting pieces of evidence came from speaker Darren Nesbit, who referred to the "Pac-Man effect" as the reason why planes don't fall off the edge of a flat Earth, according to the science news website. The Earth's glorious globular-ness was proved more than 2,000 years ago by the ancient Greeks, but there's a small subset of people who think the planet is a disk despite enjoying the downward pull of gravity that could only result from living on a sphere.Īt this conference, they were presenting their scientific evidence for such a disk. More than 200 flat-Earth enthusiasts descended on West Midlands, England, this past weekend to "engage freely in deep and meaningful discussions," according to the Flat Earth Convention UK.
