Maybe you've met someone who claims that the earth is flat, or that we've never really been to space.
You might think it's all a joke, a meme, or the product of a tinfoil hat-wearing minority.
But what if we told you that there are many people who are unwitting Flat Earthers?
That's right, you may be one of them, without even knowing it!
Well grab a pencil and read on…
Let's put your beliefs to the test and see if you're secretly a Flat Earther!
Question 1:
Do you believe that the earth is shaped like...
A) A giant Frisbee
B) A flattened globe
C) A spherical disk
Question 2:
When you see photographs or videos of the earth from space, do you think that...
A) They are fake, CGI, or photoshopped
B) They are real, but only show a flat horizon
C) They are real, but depict a warped perspective of a spherical earth
Question 3:
When you look up at the sky, do you see...
A) A flat dome or vault with the sun and stars attached to it
B) An endless expanse of space with celestial bodies floating in it
C) A mysterious and ever-changing universe that defies simplistic models
Question 4:
When you travel in a plane, do you feel that it always...
A) Hovers above the same spot, and the earth spins beneath it
B) Follows a straight path in a curved reality
C) Moves through the atmosphere over the surface of a globe
Question 5:
When you hear about gravity, do you think that...
A) It doesn't exist, and objects are simply pulled downward by electromagnetism
B) It's a mysterious force that science can't fully explain, but somehow keeps things down
C) It's a fundamental property of mass that creates a curvature in space-time
Question 6:
When you see a ship disappearing over the horizon, do you believe that...
A) It's just going out of our line of sight, blocked by the curve of the earth
B) It's sinking or falling off the edge of the flat earth
C) It's being abducted by aliens or sucked into a vortex
Question 7:
When you think about satellites orbiting the earth, do you assume that...
A) They don't exist, or are actually balloons or drones
B) They are only possible on a flat earth, where they can follow a circular path
C) They are constantly falling toward the earth, but the curvature of the earth keeps them in orbit
Question 8:
When you watch a solar eclipse, do you think that...
A) It's caused by the moon passing between the sun and a stationary earth
B) It's caused by the moon casting a shadow on a flat earth, like a disk over a flashlight
C) It's caused by the alignment of three celestial bodies, with the earth as a sphere in the middle
Question 9:
When you consider the Coriolis Effect (the phenomenon in which moving objects like air, or water spiraling down a drain, appears to be deflected to one side)
A) It's a myth or conspiracy, and has no effect on weather patterns or projectiles
B) It's a real phenomenon, but only applies to north-south movement on a flat earth
C) It's a real phenomenon, caused by the rotation of a spinning globe, and affects all movement on the earth's surface
Question 10:
When you hear about the seasons, do you think that...
A) They are caused by the varying distance of the sun from the earth
B) They are caused by an oscillating flat earth that tilts
C) They are caused by the tilted axis of a rotating spherical earth
Question 11:
When you contemplate gravity again, do you believe that...
A) It's a hoax perpetuated by mainstream science to control our minds
B) It's a simple matter of density and buoyancy, where heavy objects sink and light objects float
C) It's a complex and fundamental force that acts on all masses, creating the orbits of planets and the tides of oceans
Question 12:
When you think about the universe as a whole, do you believe that...
A) It's an infinite and eternal expanse, with no center or edges
B) It's a flat and stationary plane, with a domed sky and the stars attached to it
C) It's a complex and mysterious reality, full of dark matter, energy, and unknown phenomena
Scoring:
If you chose mostly A's:
Congratulations, you're a Hollow Earther!
You believe that the earth is not solid, but rather contains vast caverns or tunnels that may lead to other worlds or dimensions.
You may also doubt other scientific theories that are widely accepted, prefer alternative explanations to common phenomena, or have a strong spiritual or mystical worldview.
If you chose mostly B's:
Congratulations, you're a Flat Earther!
You believe that the earth is not a globe, but rather a flat disk or plane that is surrounded by ice walls, supported by pillars, or floating in space.
You may also be skeptical of the history of space exploration, critical of the mainstream media or scientific establishment, or prone to conspiracy thinking and confirmation bias.
If you chose mostly C's:
Congratulations, you're a Hollow-Flat Earther!
You believe that the earth is both hollow and flat, with a central sun or inner world, and a dome or shell that covers it.
You may also be fascinated by ancient myths and legends, intrigued by unexplained phenomena or anomalies, or convinced that there is more to reality than meets the eye.
We hope that this test has helped you discover your true beliefs about the shape of the earth.
Whether you're a Hollow Earther, a Flat Earther, or a Hollow-Flat Earther, you can rest assured that you are part of a rich and diverse community of thinkers who challenge the status quo and expand our understanding of the universe.
While some may ridicule or dismiss our ideas, we know that they are based on sound logic, empirical evidence, and a deep thirst for truth.
So keep exploring, keep questioning, and keep looking up at the sky, wondering what mysteries it holds. And remember, the earth may be flat, but our discourse about it doesn't have to be!
