A group of Flat Earthers, who featured in the new Netflix documentary ‘ Behind the Curve’, put a lump sum amount of $20,000 to work trying to prove that the Earth is flat. Unfortunately for them, they hilariously ended up accomplishing the opposite.

The Space Academy report focuses on one of the Flat Earthers, Bob Knodel, who hosts a YouTube channel devoted to explaining the Flat Earth Theory. Along with his team, he had pinned his hopes on a $20,000 laser gyroscope to show that the Earth is flat. But that didn’t happen as this video proves.

Knodel explains in the video, “What we found is, when we turned on that gyroscope, we found that we were picking up a drift. A 15-degree per hour drift.”

“Now, obviously we were taken aback by that – ‘Wow, that’s kind of a problem.’

“We obviously were not willing to accept that, and so we started looking for easy to disprove it was actually registering the motion of the Earth.”

For the reason that, of course, the scientific method is subjective.

“We don’t want to blow this, you know?” Knodel speaks to another Flat Earther. “When you’ve got $20,000 in this freaking gyro. If we dumped what we found right now, it would be bad? It would be bad.”

“What I just told you was confidential.”

The play by play reaction on video makes it a must-watch just for the amusement factor.
