Okay, so the guy's height is profoundly disproportionate to hid head and toe size and the graphic simply scales the globe down to better convey the proposal--the monoliths on either end would be entirely too small to view if all was to scale. Good grief...

Out there somewhere are folks who believe the Earth is hollow. Really.
Edmund Halley was one of the them.
(Edmond - or Edmund - Halley, FRS was an English astronomer, geophysicist, mathematician, meteorologist, and physicist who is best known for computing the orbit of Halley's Comet. He was the second Astronomer Royal in Britain)
An illustrator’s depiction of concentric spheres with a hollow Earth
there’s the various theories such as that the Nazis were a separate race who came from the hollow Earth or Hitler escaped death and set up a base for flying saucers in the hole at the South Pole or Admiral Byrd flew into the hollow Earth and met a humanoid.

Sort of - he believed that the magnetic field couldn't be generated by an entirely solid globe and that there must be spheres-within-spheres revolving. He imagined these inner worlds to be filled with fire and "vitriols" based on his geo-observations. For the late 1600s it wasn't a bad theory overall.
That's Zundel, as mad as a fish. Also a well-known holocaust denier, as I recall?

Probably totally fine. It would likely have accounted for all the observations that they had at that time which is all one can really ask of a hypothesis. No one would go to the poles for hundreds of years so for all anyone knew it might well be a big hole up there.

Well, it's been a year since I got interested in this "theory".
I tested some of the claims the flatloids told me. The real observations contraindicated with what they've said.
I asked for a one FE proof- a model. No one did any models, just cartoons and crude drawings.
They even contradicted each other and themselves.
In the end, I have no respect left towards them. They are just parasites.

He should have given up after the comet stuff. Quit whist you're ahead.

There's nothing wrong with being wrong. The problems only arise when it becomes obvious that you're wrong and refuse to admit it.
Good scientists are wrong ALL THE TIME. Far more than they're right. However, they are willing to discard those wrong hypotheses immediately, and eventually they end up with something that is really, really solid. And they look super smart, because mostly no one knows how much trial and error it took to get there.
Don't get me wrong, these people are also super smart, but a lot of the hard work is simply winnowing the chaff until you find the one hypothesis that won't be knocked down. That's the work that most people don't want to do, and the curiosity and drive to power through that just for the sake of learning something new is what separates a true scientist from your average Joe.

I actually met a flat earther. I wont lie, I thought this thread and many others where just jokes. People really can't believe this stuff right? Wow.. If he wasn't my neighbor, I would have just walked away as he was trying to explain his theory of why he thought the earth was... Man I could feel the drool leaving the corner of my lips, as my IQ was trying to sink to level that made his discussion coherent to my poor ears.
Why are we even discussing this in 2017? Has our society failed us this miserably? I almost want to press a reset button back to the stone ages, hell they even knew the earth wasnt flat..

How long before the earth is square? Why is the earth being a globe more unbelievable than being flat to these people?
