US rapper B.O.B has spent the weekend trying to convince his Twitter followers the the world is flat.
Best known for 2010 single ‘Airplanes’, featuring Hayley Williams of Paramore, B.O.B is currently locked in a battle with his 2.2m Twitter supporters who are refusing to believe his suggestion that the planet is not round.
B.O.B’s evidence against years of scientific research is mainly based on the fact he has never seen the curve of the earth and therefore believes it to be a lie. As he says in one tweet, “No matter how high in elevation you are… the horizon is always eye level.”
He later added: “A lot of people are turned off by the phrase “flat earth” … but there’s no way u can see all the evidence and not know… grow up.”
However, B.O.B is adamant that he’s not trying to trick people into believing the same thing as him: “Don’t try to back me into the “conspiracy theorist” corner… don’t be fooled. I speak from personal experience.”
If BoB can prove first that we’re all living in a gigantic simulation, I think he’s onto a winner.
The wrap around
What I mean by wrap-around, is that when you fly off one edge of the world, you get warped to the other side, so you can travel infinitely but the world has finite area.
Figure 1
In Figure 1, A travels off the right hand edge of the world and is then wrapped around to the left hand edge.
Typical Yank, knowledge of world affairs absolutely naff all. Here, every man and his dog have seen Tim Peake’s photo albums 10 times over. Curved, fuckwit:
I have flown all over the world and when the plane lands it’s always on flat land, not curved land. This is true of every journey I have made, no matter where in the world.
Hills & waves are just tiny erf tumors uv got to look at bigger picture to see erf is flat, but dont look too big picture i.e from space or it will look round again uv got to look medium picture
So does this mean that Australia is on the bottom and we are on the top of the flat Earth? Or are we all on the top and there is nothing on the bottom. I am just a bit worried in case B.O.B is right!
Nobody has ever been underneath. Presumably there are exact replicas of each of us, with magnetic bottoms, keeping us pinned to the ground and giving the illusion of gravity.
Unfortunately we will never find out due to NASAs tricks.
According to some Flat Earthers, gravity is indeed a hoax. We get the illusion of gravity as Earth is constantly speeding through the galaxy ‘upwards’, towards the sun - which is apparently only a few thousand miles away?
