"Mr Davis, a 25-year-old computer scientist originally from Canada, first became interested in flat earth theory after "coming across some literature from the Flat Earth Society a few years ago"."
You're a computer scientist and you believe this shit? Have you, you know, created a fucking computer model to actually test any of this? Try it. Don't fudge the numbers either. You see if your computer model of a flat Earth would line up with observed reality.
Here, let me save you the coding time: it wont.
""I came to realise how much we take at face value," he says. "We humans seem to be pleased with just accepting what we are told, no matter how much it goes against our senses.""
Your senses are not telling you the Earth is flat. The Greeks figured that out when they watched ships sail over the horizon; something which isn't possible on a "flat" Earth. Then about 200 B.C.E., Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the Earth and he was only off by a bit.
"Mr Davis now believes "the Earth is flat and horizontally infinite - it stretches horizontally forever".
"And it is at least 9,000 kilometres deep", he adds."
I assume you're no longer employed once this story ran. Who the hell would hire a computer scientist who says the Earth is "flat and horizontally infinite"?
