The Mariner

The Mariner Podcast #59: F is for Flat Earth


Listen Later

Whilst the news that 'Flat Earth' is even 'a thing' may be new to you- what will come as a much larger shock is that 1% (3.8 million) of the US population actively believe in the FE theory,  and 16% (51 Million) say they 'have doubts' about the certainty that the world is in fact a globe. 

In this episode I take a look at the Flat Earth conspiracy theory and outline the main pieces of evidence that we as sailors have unique access to on a daily basis that make this idea an absolute non-starter to anyone but the most naive and ignorant.
