Man with a science degree really, truly believes the earth is flat

A conspiracy theorist from east London has outlined his far-fetched view that the earth is actually flat.
India-born Safvan, 23, is a bilingual science graduate who holds some rather outlandish views about our planet.
He is part of growing online community that rejects conventional wisdom that the earth is round - much to the bemusement of everyone else.
The masters student says he first realised that the world was flat when he was 18 and studying the properties of water.
"Water couldn’t curl into a ball like that," he told MyLondon . "Even with gravity it's impossible."
"I have done my research for a very long time," he said.
Safvan explains that if the size of the earth is what scientists say it is, then there must be a certain amount of curvature in the globe per mile.
With that amount of curvature, it should be impossible to see the Chicago skyline from the opposite side of Lake Michigan.
"That's a really famous example in the flat earth conspiracy," Safvan explained.
Like many flat earth theorists he uses YouTube to further his knowledge on the subject.
"YouTube is the main thing. A lot of people are turning to flat earth because of YouTube."
Safvan believes that Antarctica is not at the bottom of the world and is actually the whole way round.
That means at the edges of the world, the seawater is held in by a giant wall of ice.
"Why do you think only researchers are allowed to go there?"
He appeared stumped when asked why no flat-earther has ever just taken a boat to go and see it for themselves.

I assume this means people saying they agree to stop them talking!
. All the way around what?
Even intelligent people can be a bit thick

Through a flat-earther's eyes
First, a brief tour of the worldview of a flat-earther: While writing off buckets of concrete evidence that Earth is spherical, they readily accept a laundry list of propositions that some would call ludicrous. The leading flat-earther theory holds that Earth is a disc with the Arctic Circle in the center and Antarctica, a 150-foot-tall wall of ice, around the rim. NASA employees, they say, guard this ice wall to prevent people from climbing over and falling off the disc

If you pick up a guinnea pig by its tail its eyes fall out

Finally if you punch a flatearther repeatedly it doesnt make them any smarter but the excercise does you good and you feel better for it
