The
idea that the Earth is ‘Flat’ is, in fact, a relatively new theory. In fact,
before anyone came up with the idea we live
on a flat plane, people knew very well the Earth was round.
Even
though there are countless images of our planet, and numerous videos which have
been recorded from space, there are still some who argue the Earth is in fact
flat. One of them is a Ph.D. student who rocked the Arab scientific
community when she presented her thesis claiming the Earth
is FLAT, stationary, the center of the universe and only around 13,500
years old. Yup, you read right.
Not
only did she suggest we live on a flat Earth, she also rejected scientific
theories presented by Newton and Einstein, astronomical discoveries made by
Copernicus and Kepler, the Big Bang theory, atmospheric and geological
activity, most of modern climatology, and basically all other scientific
teachings made in the past.
According
to an article written by the Gulf
News, the student presented her thesis after a staggering five years of
work. Eventually, it was submitted to two assessors, thus passing the first
stage of approvals. The reports were expected soon, for the thesis defense to
be scheduled.
This
‘shocking’ doctoral thesis suggests that the planet we live on is flat, very
young and that it remains stationary in the MIDDLE of the universe.
Furthermore—if that wasn’t enough—the thesis claims that the Sun has an average
diameter of 1,135 kilometers and NOT 1.4 million km. The moon has a width of
908km, and are located 687 and 23 times closer to Earth respectively. In
addition, the thesis claims there are 11 planets and STARS in the sky are
LIMITED in number and have a diameter of 292 kilometers and not millions of
kilometers.
In
the meantime, the President of the Tunisian Astronomical Association somehow
managed to get his hands on a leaked copy of the thesis, proving it was not a
hoax and posted in on Facebook. As noted by Gulf News, many people consider
these claims ridiculous, and scandalous since the thesis firmly rejects ALL
modern science. Others, however, have found it extremely disturbing since the
thesis was written by a Ph.D. science student, and the professor is the
‘highest’ in academia.
Furthermore,
Gulf News adds:
“Indeed, we find in the conclusions of the thesis clear indications of this stand and approach, expressions such as: “using physical and religious arguments”, “also proving the world scale of [Noah’s] flood”, “proposed a new kinematic approach that conforms to the verses of the Quran”, “the roles of the stars are: (1) to be ornaments of the sky; (2) to stone the devils; and (3) as signs to guide creatures in the darkness of earth”; and finally “the geo-centric model… accords with the verses of the Quran and the pronouncements of our Prophet.”
