"Neil Degrasse Tyson-I hate saying his name, we call him He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named-says that, 'It's a growing anti-intellectual movement that borders on the end of civilization and democracy as we know it.'"Ĭut to Tyson's 2016 appearance on Comedy Central's The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore : "The Earth isn't fucking flat." While the documentary was released in 2018, the clip has gone viral on Reddit recently."Science is having a problem combatting what we are doing," Mark Sargent says early in Behind the Curve, citing the fact that he can see Seattle skyscrapers from his mother's home on Whidbey Island, when he presumes they should be hidden behind the Earth's curvature. “Interesting,” he mumbles, no doubt trying to think of a way to match his beliefs to what they are seeing in the real world. The light cannot be seen at the same level but then appears when his assistant lifts the light to a higher angle and therefore ‘proves’ the Earth is round. However, if the torch is held at a higher angle and still shines through, then mother Earth is round. They theorised that if the camera can see the light when all of the torches are at the same level above the ground, then the Earth must be flat. The study – and we use that term lightly – shows a camera filming two holes with a flashlight on the other side which conspiracy theorist believes will prove the Earth is flat. In a clip from the Netflix documentary Behind The Curve, a flat-Earther is seen setting up a DIY experiment. After performing an experiment to prove the flat Earth theory, a flat-Earther ended up accidentally proving the exact opposite: that the Earth is – shocker – spherical.
