Flat Earther Spent $20k and Accidentally Proved the Earth Is Round

 In a recently released Netflix doco called “Behind the Curve” Bob Knodel uses his fancy gyroscope and ends up provin’ that the Earth is in fact, ROUND.

Well f**k. Fancy that!?In the doco, Knodel says:

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 ways to disprove it was actually registering the motion of the Earth.Haha good plan mate! Use 20 grand worth of gear to prove a scientific fact, and say yeah nah, f**k that, let’s figure somethin’ else out!

 In another scene Bob says to one of his Flat Earther mates: 

 

Nah, ya don’t wanna blow it… You especially don’t wanna blow it on camera!Bob continues: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.Confidential? It’s on Netflix mate, being beamed around the world… Yes, a-ROUND the f**ken world haha.
