Johan Oldenkamp – The most silly alternative theory that I have encountered so far is the so-called Flat Earth Theory of Eric Dubay. His website is Atlantean Conspiracy.com (link). Is this guy really that stupid? His main “evidence” for his ridiculous claim is that over a distance of 60 miles or 100 kilometers no curvature of the earth’s surface is visible. Apparently, simple math is too tough for him and his brain-dead followers.

The radius of our home planet is about 3963 miles or 6378 kilometers, and her circumference is more or less about 25,000 miles or 40,000 kilometers. This simply means that you need to see farther than more or less 70 miles or 110 kilometers in order to detect a decrease of one degree of arc, if at all possible. Furthermore, all his other “evidence” can be refuted equally simply.

This flat earth silliness is most likely a CIA social media experiment in order to determine the percentage of flat-brainers in the alternative media community, as these naïve believers can next be used for other, more important mind-control programs. The whole idea behind this Flat Earth Theory is therefore data mining, and the same is true for other ridiculous theories as the Hollow Earth Theory and almost all extra-terrestrial stories. – Pateo Wholly Science Continue reading →
