That said, the article and depictions denigrate the flat-earthers view, to the point of being just as rabidly radical and unbelievable.
If I understand the FE'ers point, the "flat earth" has the "north pole" at the center, and is surrounded by an ice wall (Antarctica).
The FE'ers cannot explain to my satisfaction things like the Foucault pendulum, coriolis, eclipses. Plus, can't be entirely flat, anyways, otherwise there would be no night.
But, to say FE'ers are nutz while using a ridiculous FE map that no FE would recognize is just an agenda-based article.
FE people ARE nutz, and should be horribly ridiculed. All people who have chosen to be morons should be ridiculed, shunned, and pushed out of society. They are a cancer.
Nope. It's an oblate ellipsoid due to slight bulging at the equator due to rotational centrifugal force. It's close to a sphere though.
I think that guy Eratothsenes of Cyrene fairly accurately computed its circumference 2000 years ago.
