The frozen continent of Antarctica
2023-11-03 10:57
Antarctica is a continent lying around the South Pole. However, it is not particularly symmetrical. There is considerably less land in the direction of South America and the Pacific.
On space and telescopes

Most flat-earthers claim that space don’t exist. Oftentimes this is about a misunderstanding of the concept of vacuum. The “vacuum” people are familiar with from contact with everyday objects is actually an under-pressure.
Consequences of the Earth’s motions

I intend to use flat-earthers to explain my view of science. People in general of cause know the Earth is round like a ball. But how the round Earth works is often the subject of misconceptions.
On scientists and pseudoscientists
2023-09-29 10:14
There are people which wrongfully believe themselves to be scientists. They neither have formal qualifications nor are seen as equals by people with such. One does not need to have formal qualifications to contribute to science.
The myth of inborn genius
2023-09-28 11:09
I perceive genius as exceptional ability in one’s profession. Francis Galton claimed this to be hereditary. In addition to the time period’s primitive knowledge of heritability there is a great weakness in his claim.
Why the race concept is not meaningful
2023-09-27 11:01
I perceive talk about “human races” as if they are believed to have sharp borders. Within the “races” people are supposed to be genetically homogenous.
