I talked to a guy at a party who has the same mental illness that sure shot has.
In the first 5 minutes of knowing him he told me that he is a vegan, has no tv and that the world is flat.
It is weird.
Is the World Flat? The Flatlander's theory..

yes I totally agree, its the maths Matrix, so how do you refute Eratosthenes experiment?

I quite agree. Math is a tool, not an end. A compass but not the destination. For that we need imagination, clear thinking- and that ever so shortchanged yet essential quality; persistence.

Is this true? That's crazy appropriate

The Tesla tidbit is fun and only true to a point. Unfortunately I'm sure it's commonly construed as Tesla's dismissal of math-based research. The apparent lack of tangibility associated with math can therefore be dismissed, as well as any associated realm of study such as quantum mechanics. Tesla would not approve of such an exploitation of his quote.

Science is the art of observation. That's why you don't quite understand Tesla's quote, you don't understand the terminology. You can not call something scientific without observation. Gravity has never been observed. I never said there are no spheres, no orbits. The world is flat. Just because you are in a forest does not make you a tree.
According to your fantastical misconception, this is a Sun far, far, away.
When in fact it is a twinkling star, and we still don't know what they are.

It works both ways actually. The sphere was calculatively imagined you might say. To top it off, his calculation used stadions. 1 stadion varies from 157 to 209 meters.

[For the " maths experts"
As already mentioned above, the observations made by Eratosthenes could meet the first hypothesis, i.e. the earth is flat and the Sun is very close. Some of the data provided by this brilliant genius even enable us to calculate with accuracy the distance at which this Sun would then have been. In this case, the tangent of the angle of 7.2° would be equal to the ratio of the 800 km separating Syene from Alexandria in relation to the distance separating the Earth from the Sun:
The distance of the Sun would then be found as: 800 km / tan 7.2 = 6500 km approximately from the Earth (that is the value of the Earth’s radius)]

He didn't subscribe to that hypothesis though, right?

Perhaps some were hit hard in the head by a ball as a child. That could explain their fear/hatred of spheres...

I dunno but a psychologist could write a thesis on how mentally ill this all is. Stark raving madness.
Pretty awful, as I'm not thinking that such a person is readily employable. It's one thing to have an affliction. It's another thing to be crazy. No one wants to hang around really crazy people. So I guess crazy people get lonely and post here despite the ridicule. Some abusive attention is better than no attention I guess

It's not a shadow. In fact, if it was a shadow, that would destroy the oblate spheroid model NASA has gone back and forth from since the 50's.
The mountain he is referring to is Chimborazo. The farthest point from the center of Earth.
