THE LAND IS FLAT - DOCUMENTARY IN NETFLIX - LOSS OF TIME OR THEORY OF CONSPIRACY?

We are in the twenty-first century, there are millions of people who believe that the Earth is flat, we have to take these people, not really seriously, but lead to have the opportunity to have a voice, since we live in a society that all values ​​are questioned and those who "think differently" must have a voice.

No wonder if in the near future someone defends the idea that we are actually dogs that imagine they are people to take adepts.

The interesting thing is that people who believe that Earth is flat, ie implicitly deny all science, believe in science when an airplane takes flight using Bernoulli's principles, believe that things fall because of gravity, believe that the Moon is round, the Sun is round, the planets of the solar system are round, only Earth, by a theory of the very crazy conspiracy is flat.

When we travel by plane they have to correct the Coriolis effect because of the rotation of the Earth, that the terraplanistas take advantage of when traveling by plane, take advantage of the science they deny.



There are some curious facts: terraplanists use cell phones and GPS that use satellite triangulation to know where you are on Earth and the theory of relativity for their synchronization.



So if it is absurd to create a whole new theory to fit the idea that the Earth is flat, why are there millions of people who believe in it and wholeheartedly defend that idea?



Maybe to hunt for clicks on websites and catch the unwary to pay for their parasitic existence over the internet. You've already noticed how much money these people who defend this idea and worse how the money that makes this theory of conspiracy, how many hunts clicks, how many advertisements on the site can not even read the right article.



Perhaps it is only adherents of a crazy conspiracy theory even where facts are denied by conspiracy theory, in which proof requires seeing a neighboring city that could not be seen because the Earth is round, but these same terraplanist defenders when they are traveling on a transatlantic cruise envision the vastness of the sea, seeing no land, enjoying the money they have earned on the internet defending ideas that in practice prefer to use real science to enjoy life.



So why do the terraplanists exist?



Maybe because the Earth is very "boring" (pun intended) and maybe it's better to move to Mars, because everyone agrees, it's a round planet, is not it? And from there, we can contemplate the flat Earth, so that from there the Earth is so turned there that we can see it all, have thought if we have all the work to go to a round planet and not to admire the Earth because she's on her side? It would be very frustrating, I have to admit, and what do you think?



Well, at a time that the materials published on the sites have more advertisements that fill the bag than the material itself. It's great to catch those who want to believe that they live in a world of conspiracy theories all the time and live by them, why not?



Thanks guys
