 The Earth is Flat
Is apparently a thing again.

 Re: The Earth is Flat
So what is with that parallel universe that I encounter when I walk far enough in the same direction, and where is The Edge?

 Re: The Earth is Flat
Shows just how many levels of stupid there are in the world. Fucking ancient people 30,000 years ago knew the Earth was a sphere.

 Re: The Earth is Flat
I dove into their "culture" yesterday pretty deep. It's a scary place.

It seems more casual... no different than Obama Birthers, etc... But the fact that it is? has? caught on with a well known? rapper got me intrigued.

 Re: The Earth is Flat
To some degree they are just trolling mainstream science, similar to those who say the moon landing was faked.
There's also an appeal to be one of a small group of people who know the "real truth" about something. Some people however go about this very stupidly - instead of being good at uncovering real truths, they make up something or just fall in with a cultish group. It's almost always bad news for your truth group when mainstream science disproved your truth long ago.
Terrance Howard has done something similar with Mathematics. It's like a contest to see how stupid (or perhaps just insanely arrogant, or both) you can make yourself look.

 Re: The Earth is Flat
I think I understand. In a backhanded way, they could be saying:
(1) The world is round.
(2) On a clear day, the sky is blue.
(3) Thomas Harris really did create "Black Sunday", "Red Dragon", and "The Silence of the Lambs".

 Re: The Earth is Flat
BOB surely must be doing a bit right? Otherwise he is rejecting science in all forms ... On twitter on a smart phone on the internet. Take that science!!!

 Re: The Earth is Flat
I think most of it is just people trolling, but I think there are people who are serious about this conspiracy. I was reading an article about this on Huffington Post and read the comments you got people disputing the Law of Gravity.

 Re: The Earth is Flat
After Proud Ryu's post I read up on Terrence Howard's views on Mathematics. That's batshit insane.

 Re: The Earth is Flat
Gravity could be the opposite of mass density, while mass density causes a shadow in the gravitational field. I've wondered about this possibility as rotation appears to be the mechanism of motion which may contradict the mechanisms of gravity, earth's rotation, flux, etc. Even as we walk, our legs swing in a rotation of leverage which may be producing a counterflux which attenuates the gravitational flux. Else, rotational movement requires gravitational flux to produce angular motion. But I'm only saying.

 Re: The Earth is Flat
The math stuff might not even be the weirdest. He spends a ton of time on building objects in his home? Like, shapes and stuff, to go along with his theories.
