"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened."
Sir Winston Churchill
First off let it be known that I am not a card-carrying member of the Flat Earth Society. I have, however, done some research into their ideas and have found them strangely compelling.
Do I honestly believe the Earth is flat? I really can't say for sure. I certainly can't prove that it is round, and neither can you.
There are numerous "facts" which are said to prove the Earth is not flat. However these facts, if seen in another light can also prove the Earth is flat.
We will examine each of these individually.
In short, my belief is that the quest for truth should not be resigned to the reading of books or the teachings of others. The only real truth is what you yourself have witnessed.
"The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth."
Niels Bohr
