Flat-Earthers
are not known for their logic. They're generally known for their willingness to
ignore the facts, and their dank memes.
When it
comes to explaining the logical flaws in their arguments, however, they tend to
fall a little, well, flat. If you ignore all the planetary evidence that points
to the Earth being round, the countless experiments you can do at home, or even
the photos taken from space, there's still one major flaw in their argument
that needs explaining.
Basically,
if the world is flat, why on Earth is the Internet not filled with news stories
about people falling off the edge of it to their deaths?
Pretty dank
meme there, Flatty.
Well, now
one prominent flat-Earther, Connor Murphy, has revealed why this doesn't
happen. He's concluded the Earth is in fact round. Just kidding. Murphy has
concluded that there is no edge at all.
"Fall
off into what, do you know what I’m saying? There’s no edge. This is a
misconception," Murphy told Unilad.
"The
way we see it is it’s an enclosed system. There’s water above, there’s the
firmament – or the dome – and there’s water above it and water below it and
there’s no leaving it, there’s no anti-gravity allowing us to float around and
find other Suns and stuff."
So nobody
falls off the edge because we're all in a massive snow globe. Pretty convincing
stuff.
"His
widow told IFLScience that she won't mourn for someone who would do something
so idiotic". IFLScience.
In the
interview, Murphy went on to accuse NASA of covering up that the Earth was flat
in order to make more money, before contradicting his earlier view that we
don't fall off because we're in a dome.
"Basically
if you can imagine the globe squashed down with Antarctica instead of being its
own continent, being the perimeter around the side. So a lot of people say
that’s an ice wall. It’s more like a shelf or cliff."
So the
reason why we don't fall off is because of the big ice wall (here be dragons?),
and if you get past that you hit the dome. Makes you feel so safe.
