Researcher’s attempt to prove theory backfires
(JERUSALEM POST) – The belief in a flat Earth has gained traction over the years, leading to numerous attempts to prove this theory. However, a recent experiment conducted by a flat Earth proponent has inadvertently debunked their own claims.
The experiment, captured in the Netflix documentary “Behind the Curve,” has garnered attention as it highlights the contradictory results. Despite the evidence, some steadfast believers remain unconvinced.
The theory that refuses to disappear
Over time, the number of flat Earth supporters has steadily increased, perpetuating the idea that our planet is not spherical. Numerous arguments have been put forth, such as the notion that straight airplane flights substantiate a flat Earth.
however, pilots’ testimonies debunked this claim, revealing the constant adjustments required to navigate the Earth’s curved surface. Additionally, skeptics have questioned the authenticity of footage captured by astronauts, even though ample evidence supports its credibility. Despite counterarguments, proponents of the flat Earth theory remain resolute.
One determined flat Earth believer embarked on an ambitious experiment documented in the 2018 Netflix film “Behind the Curve.” Recently, this experiment has gained viral attention due to its unintended outcome. Estimates suggest that approximately $20,000 was invested (equivalent to 75,000 shekels) to produce an experiment intended to irrefutably prove the flat Earth concept.
