The closest ‘known’ exoplanet doesn’t actually exist

The universe is a big, big place. When you’re dealing with distances that stretch into many light years, finding something that’s just a few light years away counts as “close.” Astronomers from the ESO’s HARPS Observatory were excited in 2012 when an exoplanet was found “close by” in orbit of Alpha Centauri B. At just 4.3 light years distant, it was the nearest exoplanet to Earth and a likely target for future study. There’s just one problem — it doesn’t exist.

What If The Earth Was Flat?

Science is mysterious. People ask questions and with the tools at their disposal, scientists address a hypothesis. Geodesy is the Earth science of accurately measuring and understanding the Earth’s geometric shape, orientation in space and gravitational field. Years of research in the field of geodesy has told us that a sphere is a close approximation of …

These Flat Earth believers' are really funny sickos.

As a group, they're the perfect illustration of an echo chamber. Think of them as a control group, where the concepts espoused are clearly wrong, but they believe they're getting valid science (like drug control groups believe they are getting meds instead of placebos). Good studies of people's impressionability as members of a greater whole can be accomplished here.

It's funny how you judge others, regardless where's the proof of them being sickos?

1999: in 2019 AI would probably run the world we wont have to do anything.

2019: we're trying to convince people the world is round.

If earth is flat then most of the physics shouldn't work as they are working now. I saw a documentary on Netflix of this believe and I didn't get a single valid or scientific explanation from the believers how the flat earth works, why other planets are globes and earth is just flat, how the physics works with it, and so on. Seemingly flat earth is now in fashion, but it'll soon wears out. Hopefully.

Just imagine the number of people who would have to be in on the round "hoax" over the centuries for it to succeed. A few examples: Anyone who flies an airplane, or in one, around the world. Most international ship captains and crews. Meteorologists. Astronomers. Anyone professionally involved with satellites.
