Introduction

Dear Visitors,                                                                                                                                    April 21, 2017

Thank you for stopping at FlatEarthLunacy.com

As a scientist with college degree in Astronomy, minor in Physics and Mathematics, I was appalled to find folks telling outright falsities and presenting bad science to bolster suspicion of our known accepted reality - that the Earth is a beautiful blue globe.

This blog clearly shows scientific proofs that debunk everything that flat Earth proponents claim.  Here we also expose the comments those YouTube video channels delete, because they don't want you to see them.

The Earth is not flat.  That claim is a conspiracy theory perpetrated by ignorant people who have ulterior personal motives and agendas.

The Earth is a beautiful blue spheroid globe spinning on an axis 23.5° once each day, and orbiting the Sun every 365.25 days.

Flat Earth NOT - B.o.B (Bobby Ray Simmons Jr., rapper) established a gofundme account requesting up to 1-million dollars for flat Earth research


Dear Readers,

The following is the gofundme account created on September 21, 2017, to collect donations from folks willing to provide him money for flat Earth research.

What do you think about this?

Update: January 2020

B.O.B.'s $1 million flat Earth conspiracy satellite GoFundMe is a scam, by Chaim Gartenberg of theverge.com
https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2017/9/26/16369890/bob-flat-earth-satellite-gofundme-scam-crowdfunding-conspiracy

"It should go without saying, but please don’t donate money to this

Musician B.o.B has started a GoFundMe campaign that’s looking to raise $1 million to “launch one, if not multiple, satellites into space,” toward the goal of “finding the curve.”

In other words: B.o.B would like you to give him a million dollars so that he can prove that the Earth is in fact round, and not, as B.o.B currently believes (despite the frankly impossibly overwhelming glut of evidence to the contrary) flat.

Flat Earth conspiracies aren’t a new thing for B.o.B. Last year, he got in a Twitter fight with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson over the “issue,” complete with competing diss tracks, because that’s just the kind of (round) world that we live in.

Obviously, this entire thing is completely ridiculous on almost every level. At the very best, it’s an attempt by a delusional man trying to foolishly prove something that has been extensively proven for the sake of his own ego. At the worst, it’s a scam by a washed-up one-hit wonder who is leveraging his mid-tier celebrity status for some quick cash and a few headlines with his name in it.

Either way, you shouldn’t donate to the campaign, for two main reasons:

1. GOFUNDME DOESN’T REQUIRE B.O.B TO HIT GOALS OR EVEN DO ANYTHING TO GET YOUR MONEY

B.o.B has cleverly gone with GoFundMe for his flat Earth satellite campaign, because, compared to services like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, GoFundMe is far, far more lax when it comes to scamming money from backers.

Unlike other crowdfunding sites, GoFundMe doesn’t require campaigns to reach their goal to give out the money. So while it’s unlikely that B.o.B will actually reach his $1 million goal, he gets all the money that people donate anyway — even if he never comes close to reaching the full amount.

Additionally, B.o.B doesn’t actually have to do anything with the money. GoFundMe only lists three things as “misuse” to the point where it will refund backers:

The campaign organizer doesn’t deliver funds to the intended beneficiary

The campaign description is intentionally misleading to donors

The campaign organizer or beneficiary is charged with a crime related to misrepresentations made in their campaign

So, unless B.o.B steals the money from himself, uses it to commit a crime, or misleads donors about what it’s for, he’s in the clear. GoFundMe works less as a crowdfunding site, and more as a digital tip jar. There’s no real accountability to make sure he uses the money for what he says, or has to prove or give back anything to his donors at all.

Is the Earth Flat? Why Rapper B.o.B. and Other Celebrities Are So Wrong (Newsweek Tech & Science)
https://www.newsweek.com/bob-rapper-flat-earth-earth-round-nasa-671140

BY 

We all have questions we struggle with. For rapper B.o.B., it's why he should believe the Earth is round. He's spoken publicly about believing in a flat Earth for almost two years now, including wading into a rap battle with famed astrophysicist Neil de Grasse Tyson. Last week, B.o.B. decided to take it a step farther when he saw someone suggest a way he could prove to himself that the Earth is round.

And the next day, he set up a GoFundMe campaign for the project. "I'm starting this GoFundMe because I would like to send one if not multiple satellites as far into space as I can, or into orbit as I can, to find the curve," B.o.B. says in an 18-second video on the page. "I'm looking for the curve." So far, 32 people have donated $676, so it doesn't look like the rapper is spacebound any time soon.

And let's be very clear: If B.o.B. wants to send a satellite into space, that's great! Science is cool, rocket launches are cool, and there are an infinite number of questions we have left to answer about the universe and our own planet….
