that believe the Earth is flat,
like for instance Flat Earth conspiracy theorist and YouTuber D. Marble who recently went viral for his ingenious attempt to prove beyond the
shadow of a doubt that Earth is indeed a pancake, not a globe, He actually took
a spirit level – the kind used in construction – on a flight from North
Carolina to Seattle in order to “monitor whether or not the pilot would dip the
nose of the plane to compensate for curvature”, the self-professed realist
filmed himself placing a spirit level on his plane seat arm rest to see if the
bubble would move as the pilot tipped the nose of the plane to compensate for
the planet’s curvature,
and explains why the Earth is flat in this video,
so I am wondering what would happen if one of the Flat Earthers meet up with a Hollow Earther? the hollow Earth theory was first proposed in the 17th century
by some of the leading scientists of the time, unlike their predecessors,
however, the modern hollow Earth theorists also believe that a race of superior
humans, Vikings, and Nazis live in paradise at the center, these residents of
the core frequently send UFOs, via holes in the North and South poles, to spy
on us surface dwellers in an attempt to prevent a nuclear war,
spearheading the modern Hollow Earth movement is Rodney Cluff, author of a book called World Top Secret: Our Earth IS Hollow, in 2007
Cluff organized a voyage to the core, with plans to sail from Russia on an
icebreaker ship seeking the supposed opening at the North Pole, He had to
cancel the £15,000-per-head expedition, but he claims that this hasn’t dampened
his enthusiasm for the theory, “More and more people are coming to terms with the fact that
the Earth is hollow. I get emails from people learning about it every day,”
Cluff said. “It’s definitely growing in popularity – certainly not in the
millions but maybe in the thousands.”
Edmund Halley, of Halley’s Comet fame, first proposed the
theory of a hollow Earth in 1692 as a way of explaining unusual compass
readings, Halley’s theory suggested that the planet is a series of spherical
shells stacked like a Russian nesting doll, all spinning in different
directions around a central core, this model could account for the inaccuracies
in his compass readings, He postulated that the space between each shell might
contain a luminous atmosphere capable of supporting life,
Symmes’ son and other loyal followers kept the Hollow Earth
theory alive into the 20th century when it began to take on a more supernatural
air, works of fiction that used Halley and Symmes’ visions as starting points
have profoundly influenced modern believers of the theory, author Jules Verne
published A Journey to the Center of the Earth in 1864, which proposed a lush
world inside the planet, the novel inspired an entire sub-genre of science
fiction about prehistoric jungles and highly advanced and enlightened races of
humans living beneath us, some modern hollow Earthers believe Nazis who escaped from
World War Two, as well as the lost Viking colonies of Greenland and the lost
tribes of Israel all live in the center of the Earth, others think that it is
home to around 100 subterranean cities full of superior humans, known as the
Agartha network, so now I am really confused, is the Earth flat or is it hollow?
