“The fact that there is a rise of Flat Earthers is evidence of two things: 1, We live in a country that protects free speech and 2, We live in a country with a failed educational system.” - Neil deGrasse Tyson

Back again with some more SCIENCE SH*T! Conspiracy theories aren’t really things we cover on this podcast but this episode was a request from a viewer and we were so excited to do this one!

Join J for another solo episode as he covers why the Earth IS NOT flat. In this episode we find out what Flat Earthers believe, how this myth became popular in the mainstream thanks to celebrities and gush over Neil deGrasse Tyson.

We also explain why planets are round, give you some easy ways to test that the Earth is round, point put the inconsistencies of Flat Earth myth AND J gives his final thots on what he’s learned from doing this research and what he really thinks about Flat Earthers.

This has been a very interesting episode because as someone who believes in Science and that the Earth is round, the amount of denial from the Flat Earthers is astonishing. But in a world where the president is a reality tv star, many things don’t surprise us anymore. There will always be people denying science or trying to go back to “the good old days” but times are changing, people are changing and we have to get with the times.

The world is going to change without your consent, now what are you gonna do about it?

Ciao bella!
