How I discovered that the Earth is flat

One of the first things taught in schools is that the Earth is round. We have a globe in most elementary school classrooms in the world, so it must be true, right?

 

Well, maybe not so much.

 

Suspiciously, this “fact” is taught alongside letters and numbers, drilled into our psyche so much that it is impossible to forget. There is more to this theory than speculation and minor inconsistencies. There is evidence right before our eyes that the “sphere-Earthers” have been trying to convince people of the obviously counterintuitive “globist” theory.

 

All phenomena that “explains” the sphere Earth can also be applied to the flat Earth. The notion of gravity — supposedly proved by Newton — actually makes less sense with a globe than a plane. Einstein proved through relativity that it cannot be proved whether we are experiencing the effects of so-called gravity or  a constant acceleration of 9.8 meters per second in a constant direction. If we lived on a globe, then people would be pulled off the Earth, and this is clearly not happening.

 

One of the main arguments against a flat Earth is that people can move around the planet. Well, that misconception comes from the map, which is propagated by the sphere-Earthers. Think of a map of the world. The image that pops into your mind is the rectangle they show you in geography class.

 

Another example of the perversion of young minds.

 

However, it is easy to see that there is no way that the Earth could be flat if this map is correct: it would have to be some sort of cylinder or even a globe. An accurate map places the North Pole at the center, with everything else spread around it, and a barrier around the so-called South Pole.

 

There are maps that display the world like this; however, they only show the northern “hemisphere” in an attempt to perpetuate the globe theory.

 

There is a reason that basically every surviving explorer to visit the South Pole since Roald Amundsen has been a paid government employee. They’ve been paid to hide the fact that the “South Pole” is actually a border between the Earth and the Firmament — a giant barrier between the Earth and Heaven — and Antarctica is just an inhospitable barrier of land meant to stop people from finding the Firmament.

 

In fact, according to Reddit user adydurn, there is a giant fleet of boats surrounding Antarctica, preventing people from getting there.

 

The Flat Earth Hypothesis  exposes the Truth that Society is trying to hide from us, and allows us to reject the illogical narrative that society has provided us.
