Quote:Flat Earthers announce cruise in ‘boldest adventure yet’ – but they will be in for a shock.SOURCE:
A group of people who believe the Earth is flat have announced their “biggest, boldest,
best adventure yet” –but it’s left people in stitches.
'Flat Earthers remain convinced of a NASA cover-up and claim the world’s governments are
staging a massive disinformation campaign to convince people the Earth is round.
According to them the Earth is actually a massive disc sitting suspended in space.
And now the Flat Earth International Conference has announced they are organising a cruise
for 2020. But people have pointed out a major flaw.
The navigational systems cruise ships, and other vessels, use rely on the fact that the Earth is not flat.
Responding to the announcement on Twitter, one user replied: “You couldn’t make this up” while another
added: “I hope this is the end of this theory”.
“Ships navigate based on the principle that the Earth is round,” said Henk Keijer, a former cruise ship
captain who sailed all over the globe during a 23-year career.
“Nautical charts are designed with that in mind: that the Earth is round.”
Keijer, who now works as a forensic marine expert for Robson Forensic, said the existence of GPS,
the global positioning system, alone is proof that the Earth is a sphere, not a flat disc. GPS relies on
24 main satellites which orbit the Earth to provide positional and navigational information.
“The reason why 24 satellites were used is because on the curvature of the Earth,” Keijer said.
“A minimum of three satellites are required to determine a position.
"But someone located on the other side of the Earth would also like to know their position, so they also
require a certain number of satellites.
“Had the Earth been flat, a total of three satellites would have been enough to provide this information to
everyone on Earth. But it is not enough, because the Earth is round.”
The FEIC did not respond to requests for more information on the Flat Earth cruise.
Even celebrities have endorsed the theory, including cricketer Freddie Flintoff, rapper B.o.B and NBA
player Kyrie Irving. And they’re not alone.
Several Flat Earth Conferences are now held around the world.
And the movement came to the UK last year, with the Flat Earth UK Convention in Birmingham, which
drew around 200 paying attendees.
NASA has proved that the Earth is round using satellites, GPS and images from space, but “Flat Earthers”
believe the space agency is lying...'
