The Flat Earth Society suggests “the space agencies of the world” conspire to fake “space travel” to hide the Earth’s “biggest secret”. Others claim images showing the world as a sphere are generated on a computer and not actually taken from space.Ī general consensus by Flat Earthers is the idea the world as round is a way NASA can dupe society along with governments to keep control.

“I have not encountered one sea captain who believes the Earth is flat.” He said: “I have sailed two million miles, give or take. In a report by The Guardian, Henk Keijer, a longtime cruise ship captain, gave his thoughts on the FEIC’s plans. Global position systems, in particular, use a network of satellites that orbit the Earth to ping off each other and pinpoint one’s location. The Flat Earthers hope to find the 50-metre wall of ice they say marks the edge of our planet.īut many are quick to point out the ship taking them will use navigational equipment that counts on the Earth being a sphere. So there’s no way to actually fall off of the earth.” “So the sun, moon, and stars are all inside. “We don’t believe anything can fall off the edge because a big portion of the flat earth community believes that we’re in a dome, like a snow globe. It’s not like you just go there, and you can just peek over it. “It’s kind of like an ice shore, and it’s very, very large. Next year’s incredible trip - details of which are being kept under wraps - is being organised by the Flat Earth International Conference (FEIC).Įven YouTube star Logan Paul wants to join the expedition so he can “find the facts” behind the bonkers theories.įEIC founder Robbie Davidson told Forbes: “If you take a globe and you squish it down, the Antarctic would go all the way around the Earth. The supposed “ice wall” is said to be several hundred metres thick, towers 50 metres high and surrounds the entire planet. The “flat earthers” plan to travel to Antarctica by boat to find the frozen barrier they believe marks the edge of our world. Conspiracy theorists are heading to the “end of the world” in a bizarre trip to prove the Earth isn’t a sphere.
