There is no evidence that the people who "actually made it were killed or silenced", but there is evidence to the contrary if they themselves have seen it with their own eyes, their own senses, their own empirical observations, then that in itself is evidence. the distance from one edge of the Antarctic to the other Edge has been measured. To say that they only "think" they reached the South Pole, is not scientific. ![]() People who travel from the north pole, and continue traveling, down all the way past south america, continuing straight, actually reach the south pole. How do FE's ignore these experiences these people have when they go and travel through Antarctica? Antarctica)Īnd, look at all the other people that have traveled to the South Pole People have walked across the Ice Wall (i.e. Antarctica), (it doesnt matter if you approach it from south america or from austrailia) if you keep traveling, you will eventually travel onto the opposite side of the globe.Īirplanes have flown over antarctica, and while commercial airlines avoid going there, its only because of added costs due to extra safety measures He believes that no one has provided proof that the world is not flat.It turns out that no matter from which direction you approach the ice wall (i.e. It was revived as a website in 2004 by Daniel Shenton (no relation to Samuel Shenton). The Johnsons have checked the surfaces of Lake Tahoe and the Salton Sea without detecting any curvature.” The Society declined in the 1990s, following a fire at its headquarters in California and the death of Johnson in 2001. It goes on to state, “If it is a sphere, the surface of a large body of water must be curved. ![]() He spent years examining the studies of flat and round Earth theories and proposed evidence of a conspiracy against flat Earth: “The idea of a spinning globe is only a conspiracy of error that Moses, Columbus, and FDR all fought…” His article was published in the magazine Science Digest, 1980. He incorporated the IFERS and steadily built up the membership to about 3,000. Johnson, a correspondent from California, US. In 1972, Shenton’s role was taken over by Charles K. Despite plenty of publicity, the space race eroded Shenton’s support in Britain until 1967, when he started to become famous due to the Apollo program. This was just before the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite, Sputnik he responded, “Would sailing round the Isle of Wight prove that it was spherical? It is just the same for those satellites.” His primary aim was to reach children before they were convinced about a spherical Earth. The International Flat Earth Research Society (IFERS), better known as the Flat Earth Society, was set up by Samuel Shenton in 1956, in Dover, UK, as a direct descendant of the Universal Zetetic Society. ![]() Despite the scientific fact of Earth’s sphericity, pseudoscientific flat Earth conspiracy theories are espoused by modern flat Earth societies and, increasingly, by unaffiliated individuals using social media. Knowledge of the spherical Earth gradually began to spread beyond the Hellenistic world from then on. In the early fourth century BC Plato wrote about a spherical Earth, and by about 330 BC his former student Aristotle provided evidence for the spherical shape of the Earth on empirical grounds. The idea of a spherical Earth appeared in Greek philosophy with Pythagoras (6th century BC), although most pre-Socratics retained the flat Earth model. Many ancient cultures subscribed to a flat Earth cosmography, including Greece until the classical period, the Bronze Age and Iron Age civilizations of the Near East until the Hellenistic period, India until the Gupta period (early centuries AD), and China until the 17th century. The flat Earth model is an archaic conception of Earth’s shape as a plane or disk.
