Tirelessly preached to youth clubs, political groups and groups of students preaching his theory
Samuel Birley-  conducted the Bedford level experiment where he sail a boat down a straight river for six miles and his theory was that after this far if the earth was round his friend shouldn't have been able to see the boat and his friend could see the boat which proved the earth was flat.]]> 2018-05-23 17:24:50 UTC https://padlet.com/20pettgr/jn86jlemc7ys/wish/263109561 20pettgr https://padlet.com/20pettgr/jn86jlemc7ys/wish/263126131 The basic beliefs of then flat earth society is that the earth is flat. The only thing keeping the continents and oceans from spilling over the edge of the earth is Antarctica which is around the perimeter of the earth, a big ice wall holding everything in. Gravity isn't real, the earth is just constantly moving upwards. Even though there are photos taken by NASA, the photos are not real, and NASA is a hoax.]]> 2018-05-23 18:08:36 UTC https://padlet.com/20pettgr/jn86jlemc7ys/wish/263126131 20pettgr https://padlet.com/20pettgr/jn86jlemc7ys/wish/263128380 The Bedford level experiment took place in the UK. A few other experiments have taken place in different places around the world. There are believers in this concept all around the globe. There have always been people that have believed the earth is flat from the beginning of time. Though Columbus and many others disproved this theory hundreds of years ago, there are still believers in this theory.]]> 2018-05-23 18:14:40 UTC https://padlet.com/20pettgr/jn86jlemc7ys/wish/263128380 20pettgr https://padlet.com/20pettgr/jn86jlemc7ys/wish/263129945 There is no logical explanation as to why a whole society of people believe that the earth is flat. Some believe the experiments and others refuse to change their beliefs. There are more things that disprove this theory than that confirm it, yet people still believe the earth is flat.]]> 2018-05-23 18:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/20pettgr/jn86jlemc7ys/wish/263129945
