His post was in the form of a Q&A and he made sure to answer an important question – Why can't we see the opposite side of the donut earth when standing on the surface in the middle? Here's the answer, “When you stand in the middle of the TE and look up, the light passes through the first atmosphere it reaches. This gives the impression that the Earth is flat (or has a slight curvature).” The light will then hit another corner of atmosphere and so on and so forth, curving every time. When we look across, the light diminishes as it travels, and by the time it reaches the atmosphere, it is diminished enough to be reflected. Light waves are also reflected in a similar way. He also got into further detail, “Radio waves are reflected by the atmosphere (hence why we don't need to set up several towers to transmit radio waves across very long distances).

However, light is curved so we cannot tell.” He went on, “I have a theory that the Earth is in fact shaped like a torus (a donut-shape).

He started by basically explain how any conspiracy theory is formed, “I was wondering how a theory like FE theory gets formed, and I came to the conclusion that someone must've thought of the original idea, and then it must've been followed by a long series of people pointing out flaws and then re-adjusting the theory (or thinking of new ideas) to iron out the flaws in the theory.” In the Flat Earth Society forum, user Varuag introduced people to donut earth. Wait, are we all just sprinkles on top of this donut? I don't mind that at all, tbh.

So basically, we live on top of a giant donut. Remember that glorious time when everyone was questioning Australia's existence?Ī flat earther, or rather an ex flat earther suggests that the earth isn't flat but shaped like a torus. It's okay that they're not putting this creativity into something more productive, but hey, at least we're entertained by their absurdity. You have to give them full props, though, because you have to be really creative to come us with stuff like this.

Yes, pancake earth is cool, but it's got nothing on donut earth. Aah, flat earthers, the best thing that has happened to us, just because of how much entertainment they provide us with.Īs the name suggests, they obviously believe that the earth is flat, but that was getting so boring, they've also ventured out into new, more exciting shapes.
