Selfie From Top Of Everest ‘Destroys Flat Earth Theory Once And For All’

In a Reddit post simply captioned: ‘Checkmate flat Earth society’ user amazed_spirit shared an image of him or someone they know posing for a selfie atop Mount Everest with the – you guessed it – curved edge of the planet in the backdrop.

Everest, in case you skived every day of school, is the highest mountain above sea level, located in the Mahalangur Himal sub-range of the Himalayas on the border between China and Nepal.

Its elevation rises to 8,848 metres, or 29,029 ft.

Many Reddit users came out in support of the concrete evidence, with one saying:

Forget about dumb curvature arguments. The fact that you can only see 2.5% at a time proves it isn’t flat. If it was flat you should be able to see the whole thing from even just the top of the tallest mountain or on any commercial flat.

Though one user brought into question whether the photographer was using a fisheye lens and thus distorting the image.

There was no appearance from ardent flat-earther Connor Murphy who recently disclosed why we don’t fall off the edge of the planet.

Connor, son of famous flat-earther Dave Murphy, spoke exclusively to UNILAD about NASA, the Sun, Photoshop and pretty much everything you’ve ever wanted to ask someone who thinks the reason you see the curvature of Earth from a plane is because the windows are round.

Watch the documentary here:

 Speaking about why NASA and the government would lie about space travel, he said:

There are two good reasons in my opinion. One obvious reason would be money. The money raised by NASA alone since their inception is something like fifteen trillion dollars, and with that money they’ve really shown little for their work.

They’re releasing composite images and articles and telling you this is what’s happening, this is what we’re doing, and we spent seven hundred million dollars to get this photo of Pluto that we had to put together in Photoshop.

A second thing is to make people feel insignificant. It makes you feel like you’re an insignificant speck of dust and therefore you’re easy to control. Basically if you can imagine the globe squashed down with Antarctica instead of being its own continent, being the perimeter around the side. So a lot of people say that’s an ice wall. It’s more like a shelf or cliff.

And as for why we don’t fall of the edge of the world, he added:

Fall off into what, do you know what I’m saying? The way we see it is it’s an enclosed system.

There’s water above, there’s the firmament – or the dome – and there’s water above it and water below it and there’s no leaving it, there’s no finding other Suns and stuff. You can’t fall off the edge, essentially.

What about the curve of the Earth you can see when you fly? Conor said:

You cannot see curvature from a plane. The reason why it may seem is because of the way planes have to be designed. Every single window on a plane has to be round and curved because the cabin itself is curved.

You can’t have straight panes or they would explode and everyone with the plane would be done. Next time you’re on a plane, look out the window and at the wing, because the wing will seem to curve as well.
