Spoiler: The Earth is not flat.

But US rapper B.o.B. is crowd-funding the launch of satellites to see if he can get some evidence to the contrary.

The rapper, whose real name is Bobby Ray Simmons Jr, has been a vocal proponent of the Flat Earth theory - the claim the Earth is, in fact, a disc and not spherical.

Ask the moron to get the engineers to explain how his satellites are going to stay aloft.

Job done.

The Flat Earth is a thought experiment. It is an example of how a basic premise can be argued to be valid despite being also able to be argued as invalid. There are many other examples...

Brian Cox made an interesting comment that he actually supports this endeavour, in that at least he's doing an experiment to try and tell either way, rather than just being some twat arguing from their mother's basement.

But he isn't. Not really. He just wants other people to pay for it - if he was so sure, he'd cough his own hard earned instead.

Do these folk believe that just our planet is flat, defying all likely evidence to the contrary in our solar system and beyond, or do they think all planets are flat and conveniently tilted to face us at all times?
