![]() ![]() GPS relies on 24 main satellites which orbit the Earth to provide positional and navigational information. Keijer, who now works as a forensic marine expert for Robson Forensic, said the existence of GPS, the global positioning system, alone is proof that the Earth is a sphere, not a flat disc. “Nautical charts are designed with that in mind: that the Earth is round.” ![]() “Ships navigate based on the principle that the Earth is round,” said Henk Keijer, a former cruise ship captain who sailed all over the globe during a 23-year career. The navigational systems cruise ships, and other vessels, use rely on the fact that the Earth is not flat: theoretically puncturing the beliefs of the flat Earth crowd. The surfaces of bodies of water has been shown to be level.” Regarding astronauts who have traveled in outer space, as well as around the world, the Society says they “have been bribed or coerced into their testimonies.There’s just one problem for those seeking to celebrate the flatness of the Earth. On its website, the Society says it has proof that the Earth is flat because “the ocean always rises to meet eye level – which is impossible on a ball earth. It’s worth noting that all modern charts and navigation aids, such as GPS, work because the Earth is – well, round.įlat earthers think that images showing a curved horizon are fake and that pictures showing a round Earth taken from space are part of a vast conspiracy perpetrated by NASA and similar agencies. We don’t have any details about what type of ship they will use on their cruise, or what type of navigation equipment it will have on board. Members of the society, which dates to the 1800s, think they can find the ice wall in Antarctica. ![]() They say the cruise, which will be “the biggest, boldest adventure yet,” will prove their belief that the earth is a flattened disk with the North Pole in the center and a towering wall of ice around the edge (see the rendering, above). The ice wall, they believe, holds back the oceans. ![]() The Flat Earth Society has just announced that it’s organizing a cruise next year to Antarctica’s “ice wall” that they say is at the edge of Earth. ![]()
