I don't really argue with them because I don't think a lot of them are capable of reasonable thought seeing how they do not use actual science for their "experiment's" but a very valid argument is the boat on water and test the drop with a laser. Watch this video!

I have never heard of flat earthers. It is scary to think there are people who believe that..

their science is just sterling work spirit levels on a plane tennis balls to represent the earth not knowing a damn thing about how big the fcking planet they actually bloody live on is fck em

block them. works great.

Many flat earthers are trolls. Trolling with outrageous claims is a great way to get free publicity.

Tyson is a fantastic publicist for B.o.B. And the relationship is mutually beneficial. The controversy got Tyson some exposure in hip hop forums. Also some exposure for Tyson's wannabe rapper nephew.

TL;DR it's folks like you that are energizing the Flat Earther movement. If you didn't feed the trolls, they'd wither and die.

Wow! I’ve heard of flat earthers, but never met one. As a skeptic I’m inclined to believe that no one is really a flat earther, and that they’re only doing this for attention. How do they explain the navigational patterns of aircraft and ships transitting the oceans? They always use great arc circle navigation. Even though both cities are very close to the same latitude, a plane or ship leaving San Francisco headed for Tokyo never heads west, but always heads towards Alaska following the curvature of the earth to save time/fuel, thus proving that a straight line is never the shortest distance between two points on the sphere!

I like Bill Nye's remark the best. "No problem with the flat earth hypothesis, tell me where the edge is and I'll go see for myself,"

Tell them you'll get a rope and harness and hang him over the side. Tell him we will sell tickets to the event and he'll be rich. See if he is willing to put his ass in space..

If they beleive in FE.. then they are suckers... sell them a false reality.

For the past 18 years, there has been a crew of 3 or more people inhabiting the ISS. Turn on NASA TV and you can see them. They give interviews with the ground on a regular basis. You can find the schedule of when the ISS will pass over where you live, and you can see it fly by. I've seen it twice, without trying. There is no such thing as "flat earth science". Somebody's pulling your leg. I think people who claim the earth is flat, is just people so desperate for attention, they pick a ridiculous premise to call attention to themselves. I would ignore them. The evidence for the round earth is so easy to find, that for people to say otherwise, they are either lying or they are mentally deficient.

Flat earth “science”? Is there such a thing? You could ask them about Sputnik, or talk about the video’s of Felix Baumgartner’s jump from a helium balloon on the edge of space.
