Wiz Khalifa thinks the earth is flat

[Voice of Reason]

How does him believing the earth is flat affect yall in any way??

Wiz is one of the most chill celebs ever and now yall are mad at him??


Huh?

Is the moon and sun flat?

Civ, the problem with Flat Earth (and other conspiracy theories) is that they are gateway drugs to anti-intellectualism, which is harmful to society at large.

For example, someone who believes "the governments of the world are lying about the shape of the Earth" also likely thinks vaccines are harmful.
This leads to vaccine hesitancy, which leads a parent or two (or a hundred) to not vaccinate their child against measles, for example.

Now, tell me what we are currently seeing with measles, a dangerous disease that CAN kill you?

As you can see, there is a tangible effect to believing in conspiracy theories. Wiz is a celebrity, and as stupid as it is, people trust celebrities and use them to validate and color their own opinions.

You people don't exist in a vacuum.

this is a terrible comparison
You really think people are flat earthers because of Wiz
"the governments of the world are lying about the shape of the Earth" its does every with day with maps
anti-intellectualism exists in television and music everyday
no need to blame celebrities, people will believe what they want

This. It only leads to believing more conspiracy theories.

nikka never came off as smart beforehand.

Yeah I think weed is kind of a scapegoat here there's no evidence homie was ever the sharpest knife in the drawer

The most confusing thing about flat-earthers is that if the Earth was flat then we’d have multiple points to the edge of the world. How can that be hidden?
We can see planets from Earth, and they’re all spherical, but our planet is the only flat one?

1. Most flat earthers believe the government is just blocking everything off so nobody can get to any of the Earth's edges and expose the truth. I've never really heard of a coherent reason as to why the government (or which government) wants to hide the flatness of the Earth, but in any case they think it's a conspiracy.

2.



Yes, they're idiots and a case study in how social media can make people believe ridiculous shyt.

Has anyone pointed out that this idiot literally just dropped an album last week with the album artwork being a globe (read: GLOBE!) covered in weed?

I can't get over the fact that people really listen to this garbage for 2-3 hours out of their day.

Well if we’re paying $50 a month for the privilege, it’d be a waste not to.

You really are dumber than your posts suggest

Youre begging for attention again

Don't quote me unless you're addressing what I posted.

ngga dont make me call birdman

Why do yall think I'm scared of him or something??

You know what breh, for some reason or another I like you .


We're both engineering majors and I'm low-key jealous that you went to a better school than me (g tech vs my umd). I just wonder how you went down this path given that I know what your curriculum looks like. We took the same abet accredited physics classes. It's like physics 100 stuff.

I'm not going to argue with you, but I'm curious if you had these thoughts before or after the intro physics classes. It's interesting that you mention Newtown because he basically invented calculus to solve the relationship between acceleration, velocity, and displacement with regards to the kinematic motion of projectiles (a being g on the y axis )

Just to preface, I believe everything that we were taught in our physics about the physical laws of our reality is completely factual, except for the concept of gravity

Its really only the concepts that we are taught about "outer space" that I question

We can prove concepts like force, potential energy, kinetic energy, rate of transfer etc through experimentation. There's no way for me to personally prove that what we see in the sky are solid objects

The first time I started to really question what we're seeing in the sky was during one of my astronomy classes at GT. We went to one of the observatories at night to observe and study the moon through one their many high powered telescopes. I can still remember how when I looked at the moon through the telescope, the moon didn't look like a solid object to me AT ALL but I kept that to myself. I didn't get into flat earth stuff until after GT and the only reason I did was to try and definitively DISPROVE flat earth theory

Then I realized that I couldnt

Since Wiz so travelled and been all over the world I’m sure he’s watched some epic sunsets. His goofy ass would’ve clearly seen the earth’s curvature as the sun appears to “sink” below the horizon. A clear observation of the sun dipping below the horizon bottom, as if it’s being obscured by a curved surface - disproving a flat earth.

You can also observe different sunset times at different elevations. If you watch a sunset at sea level and then quickly go up a hill or a tall building, you’ll see the sun set again. This only works because the curvature of the Earth allows a different vantage point to still see the sun, which wouldn’t happen on a flat plane.

These are just using observations with the sun but since a lot of these nikkas are too stupid and don’t “get” it, they’ll just say shyt like “who is they? Where they getting they information from?”

Same nikkas that would hop in a “jet” that was designed and manufactured by engineers to fly to their destination and trust that with no regard now question the actual science and physics to make that even possible just zero critical thinking or reasoning with nikkas who have no education.

Not true

all those planets are flat discs too. Like pennies .We just happen to always see them at the perfect angle.

I know you're being sarcastic but essentially yes. This

The moon supposedly rotates at the exact same rate as the earth which supposedly explains why we ever only see one side of it. And this randomly came to be at some point during the development of our solar system

So in other words a simpler explanation would be that the moon just is not rotating. There is no difference at all between what each concept says is happening. We only ever see 1 side of the moon

From our viewpoint we observe the moon to NOT be rotating at all

But we are told to believe it is

so its just cosmic coincidence that we never see any other planet on its side/edge?

The all rotate at the same rate as earth?

Is the moon and sun flat?

Flat earth goes a long with thinking space is a fake projection so they probably think the moon is flat.
