I’m pretty sure that neither Tesla nor Michelson nor Morley nor Piccard were Flat Earthers - in fact, seeing as Piccard was a friend of Einstein’s who performed balloon experiments to support Special Relativity, he seems a particularly odd inclusion.
Also, while “Robotham” actually is a real version of the name, the founder of modern Flat Earthism was Samuel Row botham. Can’t even spell his own heroes right…
Tesla, Rowbotham, and “Uzi-man” (Uziel Gal) weren’t scientists (or at least not professionally), they were inventors with a science background.
Voliva was a cult leader who never claimed to be a scientist.
We can't trust those who deny the obvious in favor of alienation to be able to evaluate the merit of information or of scientists. How could they even put anything in their proper context anyway? How could they distinguish between pseudoscience and science when to them "pseudoscience" has no real meaning, being misconstrued as only a label to disparage, in order to promote a false balance between nonsense and knowledge? The very reason of this trolling, to mock it and hope to evade scientific skepticism. When basic knowledge is perceived as a threat, one has to look at the actual problem. Knowledge is not just a competition about who claims what, the scientific method is a universal process to actually seek for knowledge.
Confused?
