Public figures such as NBA star Kyrie Irving and NFL players like Sammy Watkins have brought visibility to flat Earth theories, though their endorsements have often sparked controversy and debate.

Flat Earth proponents argue that everyday observations, such as the flat appearance of the horizon, disprove Earth's sphericity, while claiming that satellite imagery is part of a global conspiracy.

The resurgence of flat Earth beliefs in the Internet era is fueled by social media algorithms that amplify conspiracy content, creating echo chambers that reinforce these ideas.

Younger demographics, particularly those aged 18-24, are more susceptible to flat Earth theories due to their online consumption habits and declining trust in scientific institutions.

Psychological factors, such as a preference for simplistic explanations and mistrust of authority, make some individuals more likely to adopt flat Earth beliefs.

Flat Earth communities often intertwine their beliefs with other conspiracy theories, creating a network of shared ideologies that challenge mainstream knowledge.

Growing up in a flat Earth-believing family can isolate children socially and hinder their critical thinking skills, potentially causing long-term emotional challenges.

Parents are encouraged to foster open dialogue and critical thinking in their children, helping them evaluate the credibility of information and navigate controversial beliefs like flat Earth theories.

Experts recommend addressing fringe beliefs with understanding and critical engagement, emphasizing the importance of trust and mutual respect in family discussions.

Content: How did Muslim scholars refute the flat Earth theory a thousand years ago?
The flat earth is currently one of the most famous scientific myths widespread in the Arab world, and has private groups on social media met by supporters from all over, and in recent days has been controversial because of statements by the Egyptian artist Mohamed Sobhy.
There are two histories to this theory, not one; the first is ancient and the second is modern.
A number of Greek philosophers believed that the earth was flat, and the ancient Scandinavian and German peoples also believed that the earth was flat and surrounded by oceans, and the common belief in ancient China was that the earth was square and flat while the sky was spherical.
But it ’ s really surprising to know that early astronomers assumed its sphericity, and they were from almost every culture: Pythagoras, who lived about 2,500 years ago, proposed the sphericity of the Earth based on his observations of the moon during the eclipse.
Pythagorean's observations are still evidence of a refutation of the flat Earth theory: Pythagorean observed that the shadow that the Earth casts on the Moon during the eclipse is always round.
Regardless of the moon-facing part of the planet, eclipses occur everywhere in the world.
The idea of a lunar eclipse is simple: put a big lamp in the middle of your room and turn off the rest of the lights, stand at a distance of one meter from it, now turn around while you reach your hands in front of you with a tennis ball, when you give your back to the lamp and pass the tennis ball in the shadow extended in front of you because of your body, this is the eclipse.
To Eratosthenes
Eratosthenes, born 276 BC, was the first to measure the circumference of the Earth using a simple method involving the angle of the Sun at different locations.
Eratosthenes was astonished to read that the columns in the ancient Egyptian temples of Aswan on the afternoon of June 21 of each year did not leave a shadow under them, and the mystery of the wonder was that the columns in Alexandria left a shadow under them on the afternoon of the same day.
Eratosthenes came to the conclusion that the earth must be convex and not flat, otherwise the columns in Alexandria would appear shadowless, and then after reflection Eratosthenes came to the clever idea that we could measure the length of the shadow in Aswan which is zero, and its length in Alexandria, and then measure the distance between Alexandria and Aswan, and infer the circumference of the earth.
The story goes that he sent a man to measure the distance, so that with some simple geometry he could measure the circumference of the Earth, which he concluded was about 39,348 kilometers.
Eratosthenes' account was transferred to the Arabs from among the sciences they translated.
According to Carlo Nelino in his book "Astronomy: A History of the Arabs in the Middle Ages", the Caliph al-Ma'mun al-Abbasi (who ruled from 813 to 833 AD) asked two teams of astronomers to test these calculations and come up with the most accurate measurement of the Earth's circumference....
The safe astronomer.
The method adopted by the Arabs is to go out into a perfectly flat desert, and then rely on the inclination of the polar star in the sky.
The ancients realized that the position of stars in the sky is affected by your place on Earth, the further you travel south, the lower the polar star in the sky until it disappears completely after the equator, and the more you travel north, the higher the polar star sky until it became above your head in the North Pole, which means that the Earth is round, otherwise the position of stars in the sky changes with your place on it.
The height of the polar star (and all other stars) is measured in degrees, and it is like to put a protractor in front of your eyes, the horizon is at zero, and then look at the protractor from the side to find at what degree the polar star stands, and this is something you can do exactly as the ancients did, and now astronomical software is easily available.
Al-Ma'mun astronomers measured the height of the polar star, then moved north once and south once, until the amount of inclination of the polar star changes by one degree, and then measured the distance north and south, and this measured distance is one degree from the circumference of the Earth's circle, and it can know the rest of the circumference of the Earth, because the Earth is a ball, and like any ball, rotation around it requires 360 degrees.
The first team of Al-Ma ’ mun astronomers went out to the Sinjar desert, a small city in northwestern Iraq today, and the second team to the Palmyra desert in eastern Syria, and carried out the same experiments in both places. In the Sinjar desert, for example, the height of the polar star was about 35 degrees. south of the wedge site until the measurement dropped by a degree.
According to al-Ma ’ mun ’ s astronomers, the scale of one degree was about 56 parsecs and two-thirds parsecs, which Nalino calculated — according to Edward Kennedy of the American University of Beirut in a paper published in the Encyclopedia of the History of Arab Sciences — to be 111.8 kilometers, a value used by later researchers such as al-Biruni and al-Toussi.
Calculating the circumference of the Earth in this experiment, it turned out to be about 410,248 km, which was close to modern measurements (40075 km) in the most accurate way at the time.
Note that the difference between the two measurements is about 1,100 years, and the reason for the difference is not related to the same method but to the ellipse of the Earth, as the distance between the two latitudes increases slightly as we head north.
Abu Rayhan Al-Biruni
The second attempt was by Abu Rayhan al-Biruni, born in September 973 AD, who used the best and easiest formula to calculate the circumference of the Earth in his time.
The Al-Biruni method is based on triangulation, where the sunset is observed from the top of a high mountain overlooking flat ground to the horizon, the astrolabe measures the angle the sun descends relative to the observer on the top of the mountain, where the line connecting the observer on the top of the mountain and the horizon makes the sunset clock touch the planet Earth.
It is known that the tangent of a circle perpendicular to its diameter, and then we have a right-angled triangle at the horizon, and we can measure the radius of the Earth by knowing the height of the mountain, which is mathematically easy.
Currently, the same calculations can be applied by high school students, for example, in all countries of the Arab world, who have a good amount of trigonometry study.
In a study published in the International Journal of Sciences, an Italian team repeated al-Biruni ’ s experiment and concluded that its results for the radius of the Earth are equal to 3,928.77 English miles, which compares favorably, being 2% different, with the average reference radius at the measurement latitude, which is 3,847.80 miles.
Pakistani physicist Mazhar Mahmood Qureshi, in his book An Introduction to Muslim Contributions to Science and Technology, points out that al-Biruni ’ s experience in what is now Nandana Fort in the mountains of northern Pakistan is a typical example of the use of experimental scientific methods.
The most important book of al-Biruni astronomical is "The Law of Masoudi", in which al-Biruni collected all the astronomical problems of his time, and the way of al-Biruni was to present the origins of the matter and the views of the Indian, Greek and Arab astronomers and then weighted between them.
Modern history of flat earth
But at that point, you might ask yourself: if the sphericity of the Earth was obvious to Muslim scholars and their comrades in other parts of the world in ancient times, why did it come back?
In 1849, the English writer Samuel Rowbotham published a pamphlet entitled "Oil Astronomy" (from the Greek letter zeta, not oil), in which he defended the theory of the flat earth, and followed this with another entitled "The Instability of Modern Astronomy and its opposition to the Bible".
In 1883, Rowbotham founded oil societies in England and New York, shipping thousands of copies of his books to talk about flat earth.
Meanwhile, William Carpenter, a printer and native of Greenwich, England, supported Rowbotham and advocated his theory, learning it from John Jasper and preaching to more people than any cleric of his generation in the southern United States. Once.
From here the myth began to branch again in the United States, and then to Europe, and then to the Arab world and the rest of the world, but in this context it was mixed with conspiracy theories concerning secret groups trying to control the world by deluding people that the earth is round.
The proof of the sphericity of the earth is not new, and has a long history in which Muslim scholars have made an influential contribution, but because the “flat earth ” has been transformed from ignorance of the nature of science into a conspiracy theory it has been imported along with other famous theories into our Arab world.

Content: Kyrie Irving’s Flat Earth Theory Revisited: How Did Scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson React to It?

Kyrie Irving has some rather interesting theory on the planet we live on

Kyrie Irving sure is an interesting guy.

Of course, his ability on the basketball is a sight to behold. However, his thoughts and ideologies off it are something the NBA community has had its eye on for a long time too.

Over the years, he has come to be known as the man who is absent from the team for about half the year tending to one cause or another. Though it must be noted that there is a massive amount of exaggeration at play in all the conversations regarding them.

But frankly, his tendency to take holidays off work isn’t exactly weak either.

However, this is Kyrie during his most recent years in the league, a stark contrast to how he was at the start of his career. But it had to have started somewhere, right?

Well, apparently it did. And frankly, fans should’ve known the kind of person they were in for after this little incident was revealed.

Kyrie Irving once believed the Earth is Flat

There are shockingly a whole bunch of Flat Earthers on this planet of ours to this day. And apparently, Kyrie Irving was once a part of that army.

Now admittedly, the original clip of him admitting he believes in the Flat Earth theory can no longer be found. However, there are several clips of him justifying his stance on the matter, one of which is right here, below.

There are also clips of him claiming that he was only joking when he spoke about believing the flat earth theory, so frankly, he may deserve to be cut some slack here. Furthermore, even if he believed it several years ago, there is a strong chance that his beliefs have changed completely.

However, if the man still believes in the theory, that is quite something, isn’t it?

At this point, even most scientists would probably just find themselves chuckling on the matter, rather than be exasperated.

But until Irving announces his current beliefs, one can only speculate.

Neil deGrasse Tyson once shared his thoughts on Kyrie Irving’s backing of the Flat Earth theory

When it comes to scientists, Neil deGrasse Tyson is probably the most well-liked one out there, on the face of this planet.

Whenever he is brought on a show of any kind, he has been asked questions about space, aliens, and even some questions on theoretical physics concepts, such as the Multiverse theory.

But never had he been asked to react to a basketball player in any kind of way. Or at least, that wasn’t the case, until the Kyrie Irving incident.

And here was his reaction.

While he does seem to be speaking facts, and trying to go about this in a logical manner, he does seem a tad bit snarkier than usual.

We can’t imagine Kyrie Irving being the biggest fan of that.

What NBA star claimed that the earth is flat?

Flat Earth proponents argue that everyday observations, such as the flat appearance of the horizon, disprove Earth's sphericity, while claiming that satellite imagery is part of a global conspiracy.

What scientific evidence do "flat earthers" reject?

The resurgence of flat Earth beliefs in the Internet era is fueled by social media algorithms that amplify conspiracy content, creating echo chambers that reinforce these ideas.

What we want you to know is
Research shows that children often start believing unproven conspiracy theories at the age of 14, and more than 80% of middle school students mistake “sponsored ads ” for“ news stories. ”
But what exactly should the media literacy curriculum teach?
At present, there are still divergent views......
Text: Yu-An Lai
According to the 2021 V-Dem (Varieties of Democracy) report by the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, Taiwan has been the champion of “false information ” for nine consecutive years, making it the most frequently attacked country in the world by false information.
The government of Taiwan will invest 11.7 billion yuan in 2023, aiming to enable primary and secondary schools across the country to comprehensively promote digital improvement projects, so as to achieve "class has the Internet, there is a tablet", this policy is aimed at strengthening students' ability to use digital technology, but if children use it inappropriately, it will be counterproductive.
In the pursuit of the popularization of the Internet and the teaching of digital technology, we also have to think about how to teach children to distinguish between trustworthy news information and news when the huge amount of fake information on the Internet is overwhelming.
The younger you are, the more likely you are to be a primary target of false information.
Science magazine Scientific American reports that children are the primary targets of disinformation disseminators.
According to a 2019 study by the British Journal of Developmental Psychology, children usually start believing unproven conspiracy theories at the age of 14, and many contemporary teenagers have difficulty judging the credibility of online messages.
Researchers at Stanford University also found in a 2016 study that more than 80 percent of middle school students misidentified “sponsored ads ” as“ news stories. ”
Fake messages are often delivered to young internet users, directing them to misleading content.
A 2018 Wall Street Journal survey also found that YouTube ’ s algorithms push personalized recommendations for different users, but they tend to recommend videos that are more extreme and far-fetched than what users originally watched.
For example, when researchers search for “eclipse ” as a keyword, they are directed to a video whose main theme is to imply that the Earth is flat.
YouTube is one of the most popular social media sites for young people, and for such extreme algorithms, Zeynep Tufekci, assistant professor at the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, called it “one of the most powerful radical tools of the 21st century. ”
The influence of false information and false information cannot be ignored.
In response to the spread of false information, UNICEF provides the following 10 insights and recommendations
1.
Misinformation and disinformation on the Internet is an urgent public issue.
The power of fake information must not be underestimated. For children who are now active on the Internet, fake information is an important part of their daily lives.
Fake messages on social media are often more powerful, farther, faster, and deeper than the right messages, especially when the issues involve divisive, highly controversial, and highly emotional topics, such as immigration, gender politics and equality, and vaccination are hot topics.
2.
The impact and consequences of errors and false information on the real world
Misinformation and misinformation have been used to incite violence and crime against ethnic minorities (which can lead to the death and displacement of children), while misinformation and misinformation have reduced vaccination rates for children with Covid-19, undermined trust in news and science, and drowned out marginalized voices.
3.
Algorithms play a more critical role, even though misinformation and misinformation are often transmitted through people
Algorithms deliver personalized messages and news stories through users ’ digital footprints, but sometimes they can also recommend content that is inaccurate, misleading, sensational, and conspiracy theories.
Therefore, we can say that the algorithm may be a key carrier for amplifying the spread of false information.
4.
Children are vulnerable to errors and false information
Because children are in a developing stage, they do not yet have the ability to distinguish between reliable and unreliable information.
Not only will they be harmed by errors and misinformation, they may also continue to pass on the wrong information to their peers.
For younger children who do not use social media, they may also be exposed to false or false information through their parents, caregivers, or classmates.
5.
Still, children can challenge and debunk mistakes and misinformation
Now that they have become the primary targets and targets of misinformation, children can still actively fight them.
Children can contribute to fact-checking and deification efforts, such as the Covid-19 pandemic misinformation for Nepal.
The UNICEF Mission in Montenegro ’ s “Let ’ s decide what we want to watch ” programme provides young people with the opportunity to train in media literacy and journalistic skills to improve the quality of reporting on children ’ s rights.
6.
Education is especially important.
In order to help children to judge whether information is true or false, they should develop the ability to read and think critically from an early age.
Make sure that children have critical thinking skills, not only online, but also offline, in everyday life.
7.
It is necessary to take collective action to protect children.
Politicians, civil society organizations, technology companies, parents, and educators must all work together to avoid the harm that misinformation and misinformation can do to children.
There is no reliable data and research on how to slow down the spread of false and false information.
8.
Policymakers should develop norms of misinformation and misinformation based on children ’ s rights
UNICEF recommends that policy makers develop regulations for children to protect them from the effects of error and false information, while ensuring that they can access content safely.
Regulation should be based on the classification of content and ensure transparency and accountability.
This is a very significant policy challenge between the protection of rights on the Internet and speech.
9.
Tech companies can help combat errors and misinformation
UNICEF recommends that tech companies actually implement their declared policies and invest more in people and technology.
Tech companies should publish how they deal with fake messages on their platforms and prioritize the idea of meaningful connections and children ’ s diversity in digital system design.

Content: 7% of netizens support content, pay professional knowledge and skills are the best
MIC conducted a consumer survey on social and communication usage behavior in Taiwan, specifically analyzing the preferences of netizens to pay for online content, and exploring the types of content, motivation, and online learning preferences that netizens are willing to pay for.
According to the survey, as many as 67.7% of netizens are willing to pay for online content, and as many as 80% of people aged 18 to 24 are willing to pay for online content.
Among the content that netizens are willing to pay for, “professional knowledge / skills ” (43.4%) and“ drama ” (31.8%) have been the first and second runners-up in the category of willing to pay for two consecutive years, MIC said.
This is followed by language (25.2%), e-book / digital magazine (25.1%), and music (23.1%).
Looking at different age groups, 18-24 year olds are more willing to pay for entertainment content, including online games, anime and influencer content are among the top five. It is recommended that entertainment content companies can focus on developing this group.
Looking at the payment motivation of netizens, it can be found that "study" and "entertainment" imply the biggest business opportunities, of which "study" rose from the second motivation in 2020 to the first in 2021, and the overall willingness of netizens to pay increased by 15.1% compared with 2020.
MIC observed the consumption habits of different age groups, and found that people aged 18 to 34 are willing to pay for “established habits ”, and people aged 35 and above are willing to pay for“ further education ” and “in-depth content ”. People under 29 are willing to pay for“ supporting creators ”, and people over 30 must rely on “teacher expertise ” to attract payment. It can be effectively transformed.
For further study opportunities, it can be found that "buy your own books (46.3%)" is still the largest, but "online watch recording (42%)" has surpassed "live lectures / lectures (36.6%)", and online watch live teaching (24.4%) also has a large proportion, reflecting the rising trend of online education and business opportunities.
According to MIC, 40% of netizens have paid for knowledge / learning platforms, up 10% from 2020. The top five paid knowledge learning platforms are “Blogging for eBooks ”,“ YouTube (Channel Member) ”, “Google Play Books ”,“ Hami Bookstore ” and “Hahow Online Course Platform ”. The age continues to expand.
Senior industry analyst Zhang Xiaoqi analysis, 20-29 years old is the only online learning preference is greater than the physical group, but also the most willing to become a YouTube channel member of the ethnic group, its watch online recording teaching proportion even beyond the mainstream buy books for the online learning platform operators need to pay attention to the development of the golden audience.
In addition to actively mastering the target audience, Zhang Xiaoqi also suggested that online content providers should put aside the traditional timing, pricing and pricing strategies of the past to provide more flexible learning and charging models for students, and reduce the situation where students are forced to interrupt learning due to external forces.
Second, both from the marketing side and the content design should reduce the expected gap of the trainees. In response to the rapidly changing external environment, we should always grasp the learning trend and launch more forward-looking curriculum content, so as to avoid the situation that the demand for learning changes and the supply of content cannot keep up.
The types of knowledge content that users are willing to pay for are “investment and financial management ” (38.7%) and“ language learning ” (36.4%), followed by “computer programming ” (26.2%),“ workplace skills ” (22.3%) and “lifestyle ” (22.1%).
According to Chang Hsiao-chi, although there is a large demand from consumers for investment and language, there are many competitors and channels. However, the market potential of "computer programming" online courses has yet to be tapped.

Content: "The Lost Earth Truth 1": The level of the earth seems to be the "gold rush" of our time.

What we want you to know is
Through the multi-dimensional advanced high-tech "heterogeneous meta-helmet", scientists learned that the earth is full of four-dimensional entrances, the third dimension of the material plane and the fourth dimension of the etheric plane are originally "twins".
Written by Radu Cinama
Tiping said it was the "gold rush" of this era.
Based on a reference to the House of the Cabal, which hides the door to multidimensional interaction, I found an informative note that I had never seen before, floating among dozens of notes on my desk.
In general, I prefer to work in electronic form or wait for notes or files in digital format, but given my particular interest in the Dimension Portal, I decided to check everything on my desk, including the latest events.
I do not know the reasons and methods, but the information I found was ignored.
After reviewing notes and data summaries, I discovered an event called “Ground Floor – References ”, a“ movement ” that I ’ ve heard has made waves among people, but I never thought it would become a theme for our department.
The illusion of this idea is obvious, especially for those who have good judgment and personal experience of our planet from the perspective of outer space.
I was a bit confused and didn ’ t know if I should read a few pages of summaries about the ground floor.
I went to Lieutenant Nikola and asked him about it.
He told me that the information came from the operations department of another SRI division, an acronym for the Romanian Intelligence Agency, which has the status of a second level notice.
The lieutenant made it clear that the only reason this information reached our department was because it triggered an abnormal "phenomenon" in the world, but in our country, the number of "followers" is relatively small and the proportion is reasonable, and the level seems to be the "gold rush" of our time. It makes you speechless, even in a state of “shock. ”
I can understand that the paranoia and other obscure interests of hundreds of years ago amplify the lack of knowledge, which may occupy the minds of a relatively small number of people, but it is unreasonable to allow it to develop to the level of the international movement of the 21st century.
From a heavenly point of view, I wonder if human stupidity can rise above that level, but I don ’ t quite believe in that prospect.
However, even the most bizarre phenomena must be taken into account, at least taking into account the crowd and their opinions, which is one of the Secret Service's tasks.
I did read the summary, which revealed the main points of the problem very clearly, but did not give any conclusions.
Severe retrogression into the Middle Ages
On the same night, I took advantage of Cesar ’ s free time and shared the ground level problem with him, more as a social case than a research direction.
Cesar laughed loudly, talked about the topic for a while, and then suddenly turned to some very interesting questions.
He told me that three or four years ago, the issue was introduced to him and discussed with other colleagues in the intelligence department because there were signs that the idea was trending toward a consensus.
Out of respect for readers, I don ’ t usually include such a discussion in my series.
It requires only a little wisdom and minimal scientific training to understand, and arguments in support of this theory are tantamount to ignorance and fanaticism.
Beyond this, however, Cesar reveals some psychological cues that seem to be of some importance to general knowledge and social experience.
When discussing topping with Cesar, the first point involves a large number of followers.
“The mechanism for this strange theory of increased follower numbers is related to human isolation, ” says Cesar.
“It ’ s as if the population is divided into two distinct categories, but this separation is actually based on each person ’ s level of consciousness, which is directly related to their vibration frequency. ”
“But, ” I replied,“ I don ’ t know what caused this outbreak, and more and more people are insisting on these ‘ arguments ’ without meaning. ”
It's more like a stupid virus. "
“This major shift in thinking patterns is not at the same wavelength as what is commonly understood in the world today.
In other words, such new ideas have nothing to do with the knowledge of our time.
This is an effective method, because the earth is flat, and the idea is strongly supported by mystical factors, as well as by those who are keen to see things stagnant and not progressing.
This is the best way to control it: take people away from reality, let them dream nonsense, support their fantasies, and encourage them to project.
Therefore, it is controlled by imposing on the masses what they want.
Followers of earth thought, firmly believing in it, will seek to meet others, gather, and even separate themselves from others, because they will see others as fools deceived by lies.
In other words, they will be convinced that they are the ones who “discovered ” the truth. While it is sad to hear the news, unfortunately, the situation is quite real. ”
“Although I have this report under my nose, I can ’ t believe it has reached this point.
I feel like this is an ugly dream, as if some people in the world have voluntarily gone back hundreds of years.
That's how I feel.
Incredibly, people ’ s minds today are still influenced by delusions that defy not only decent intelligence but also scientific reasoning, making everything frenzied.
Look at the results! ”
I showed Cesar ’ s estimated numbers and charts.
"I know.
We've talked to other colleagues, "he said.
“Your surprise is evidenced by the huge difference in conceptualization and vibration frequency that people are beginning to feel.
This is a reality that has become increasingly prominent over time and cannot be ignored.
This is part of the isolation I told you about.
In principle, people interact with those who are evolving and those who prefer to stay in purely physical, crude or involuntary groups.
Those in the first category perfect themselves, recognize the changes that are taking place on Earth, and experience certain emotional states and specific sensations.
That ’ s why it ’ s incredible for some people to think about problems in a medieval way, such as followers of the Earth Theory. ”
Cesar saw the astonishment on my face and hurried to prove what he said again.
“Yes, I ’ m not exaggerating.
This is a return to the Middle Ages, because these people cannot evolve; instead, they return to a more archaic state of consciousness, closer to their true level of consciousness. ”
“Why can ’ t they evolve? ” I asked in surprise.
Of course, I know the answer, but it ’ s always a pleasure to capture Cesar ’ s explanation.
In addition, there is always a new element that can enrich my knowledge.
“Because the current state of things they attract has nothing to do with the higher vibrations of the Earth, this feature is becoming more and more apparent. ”
“For the followers of the Earth Plane, their consolation lies in the frenzy of these primitive ideas, which are maintained as free spirits and ideas are blocked.
The same was true during the Inquisition: a set of foolish and erroneous ideas was raised into law, and any violation of those ideas was enforced. ”
When I think about it all, I hope I ’ m wrong.
“Are we back in the Middle Ages? History has set off a wave of extreme ideas.
Ancient people already knew that the earth was round, but the situation deteriorated in the Middle Ages, when there was a revival of modern science, but was this only to take us back to the Middle Ages now? ” (The author undoubtedly refers to the knowledge shared by Pythagoras and Aristotle, who both asserted that the earth is round, and the argument made by Eratonius in ancient Alexandria.)
Cesar calmly replied, “We don ’ t; but for the part that has degraded, yes. ”
Several factors contributed to this.
Followers of the Earth ’ s theory are indignant at their opinionated views, their refusal to think logically or rationally on the basis of real arguments and evidence, their denial of evidence, and their deceitful defense of their position.
In general, this is a kind of missionary covering up fanaticism.
The psychological factor of the earth level, the mind pulls people's distance
We note that whenever fanaticism prevails, society is confronted with a lack of insight and the limitations of personal freedom.
Cesar gave me an example that better explains how this dilemma can be achieved in the context of a relatively developed civilization.
"This phenomenon is the same as in quantum physics.
If there is enough energy, the electrons can jump into higher orbits.
If there is not enough energy, it can be kept at a slightly higher level and relatively stable; but at some point, the remaining energy will be released in the form of photons, and the electron will return to the orbit where it was originally found, back to where it started.
In quantum physics, this is the basic orbit of electrons.
In other words, electrons with these characteristics will return to the level where they have a safe orbit. ” I interjected, clinging to the subject.
“I know that throughout human history, the idea that the earth is flat has long existed in some religions.
Modern astronomy has developed extensively since then.
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto have only been discovered for about two hundred years.
In this sense, the ground floor is actually not very old, its memory is still fresh.
Perhaps that is why some humans return to the state they once knew. "
“This is another factor, ” Cesar acknowledged,“ in any case, human society is changing from ‘ possessiveness ’ to ‘ feeling ’, that sense of possession, egoism, competition, and violence tends to be gradually replaced by pure and positive emotions and feelings, which are fundamental to love, altruism, and compassion. ”
I have some doubts.
“It ’ s hard to believe, because almost all of us are seeing the spread of these negative manifestations. ”
“At first glance, it might be so.
Remember, however, that most people on Earth are uneducated, and they ‘ resort ’ to this illusion of competition, money, commerce, and lack of spirituality.
A large number of people who are addicted to this dream, tend to oppose those who are guided only by spiritual values and seek a pure life with a clear meaning, and have achieved a balance at this point.
This is what we call isolation. "
In fact, what Cesar wanted to say is that everyone is invited to participate in the great spiritual transformation of humanity and our planet, with the desire and dignity to demand that his life be the germ of light, spirituality and hope that we can enter a bright future.

Radu Cinamar became famous after revealing an unprecedented and mysterious collaboration between the US and Romanian militaries.
American and Romanian troops have made an expedition under the Romanian Sphinx in the Bucegi Mountains and discovered the greatest archaeological discovery of all time: a mysterious chamber about 50,000 years old, containing a holographic record of human history of the Earth, biological resonance imaging technology, and three mysterious tunnels that lead to secrets deep in the heart of the earth.
Despite the political intrigue, confusion, and restrictions surrounding this great discovery, the expedition leader allowed Radu Sinamar to visit and explore the artifacts.
Since then, Radu ’ s life has been a labyrinthine adventure, filled with strange events, secret connections, and unusual people and things.
This book delves into ancient history in an unprecedented way, through the interaction of advanced technology ’ s “heterogeneous helmets ” with the author ’ s cerebral cortex and intuition, presenting more than 70 stunning images of the scene, the result of which is holographic projection, explaining and illustrating the DNA changes that took place over thousands of years and how humans evolved into what they are today.
Reveals the mystery of how multiple alien civilizations influenced and guided human DNA to evolve to a higher level.

Content: “Everyone Gets Hit in the Head”: Travis and Jason Kelce Boldly Claim 20% NFL Players Are Flat-Earthers

Published

Eight-time NBA All-Star and Mavericks point guard, Kyrie Irving, has time and time again claimed that the earth is flat. Sadly, this belief is widely held around the globe. When discussing the same and if there are NFL players who also call themselves flat-earthers behind closed doors, Jason Kelce and his brother Travis boldly claimed that a good chunk of the NFL locker room actually believes the earth to be flat.

During a recent episode of the New Heights podcast with comedian Andrew Santino at the discussion table, the younger Kelce said, “We’ve mentioned on the show that conspiracy theories help bring NFL locker rooms together,” before asking the guest, “What are your conspiracy theories?”

Without skipping a beat, Santino posed the question about what percentage of NFL players actually believe in the Flat Earth theory. In response, Travis claimed that at least 10 to 15 athletes in every locker room are flat-earthers. Jason Kelce, however, added that if someone were to conduct an anonymous poll about it, the number of flat-earth believers could potentially jump up to 20%, equating to approximately 11 players out of a 53-man roster.

“Dude, honestly, there are at least 10 to 15 guys in every locker room; I would imagine,” Travis remarked, followed by Jason adding, “If you took an anonymous poll like nobody had to disclose their name or anything like that, you’re over 15% of an NFL locker room… Maybe over 20.”

This revelation baffled the Ricky Stanicky actor, but Travis consoled him by jokingly saying, “Dude, everyone gets hit in the head.” Nevertheless, while the Kelce duo’s numbers may be somewhat exaggerated, there have been some instances when NFL players have openly admitted believing in the earth being flat.

Darius Slay, Sammy Watkins, and Others Are Flat-Earthers

As per Sports Illustrated, free agent wide receiver Sammy Watkins claimed back in 2017 that the earth is flat. But he isn’t the only NFL athlete on that list, as Eagles CB Darius Slay told Tori Petry of DetroitLions.com back in 2018 that the earth is flat.

“I mean, I think it is (flat), we’re walking flat, so how is it round?,” claimed the All-Pro cornerback.

Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen followed suit just last year and claimed the same thing. “PSA,” Queen wrote in a tweet. “Earth is flat. Thank you. Carry on!!”

The list goes on! Former Texas Tech safety, Tyler Owens, apparently told reporters at the Scouting Combine that he doesn’t believe in space or any other planets. Thus, he finds the Flat Earth Theory ‘interesting’ and ‘valid’.

“Nah, I don’t believe in space…. like, you know, I’m religious, so I think like… we’re on our own right now. I don’t think there’s, like, other planets, and stuff like that. I don’t know,” Owens said, as per DailyMail.

Even Seahawks QB Geno Smith has claimed that the whole thing is still up for debate. Moreover, Jason Kelce once revealed that, out of curiosity, he had asked one of his coaches about the Flat Earth Theory and if anyone believed in it. Right there and then, an athlete nearby said, “I mean how you know it isn’t?”

Despite its absurdity, the debate will rage on till the end of time, it seems. However, there are simple experiments that can be conducted in front of a flat-earther to convince them otherwise, as perfectly demonstrated by Wired.

Growing up in a flat Earth-believing family can isolate children socially and hinder their critical thinking skills, potentially causing long-term emotional challenges.

Content: "Public Television Theme Night SHOW" this week broadcast the documentary "Cannot say childhood", about the director Ofik's childhood mostly spent in India's secret society, in order to "truth", they were taught to believe in the master, all behavior must not be open to the public, careful and afraid to keep secrets for 20 years.
As an adult, Orphek left the dojo and underwent seven years of psychotherapy. He plucked up the courage to embark on a quest to find friends who had been in a spiritual camp, discuss forbidden childhood memories, and question pious parents about their past.
When parents bring their children into religious groups, they will discuss with many other citizens how religious beliefs affect a person ’ s values and worldview. Is it necessary to obtain the consent of the minor children?
Director Ofik reflects deeply on himself by shooting “Cannot Say Childhood ”, but also criticizes the past, and follows his parents to participate in a highly closed secret society has brought a huge impact on his life, which can be said to be full of trauma.
In this regard, the TV drama "Psychic Girl" prototype figure, the former psychic "Sofia" deeply shared the experience of growing up in the temple, she said that she had been reported to the temple since childhood, the so-called yin and yang eyes are said to be blessing, but also said that it should be to pay back the previous guilt, when she walked into the palace is "I am protecting you, did not come out." It is a religious belief that salvation is dangerous. "
Sofia talked about the memories of being forced to see the body at the scene of the murder and take fate, she admitted that she felt physically and mentally exhausted at the time. "In fact, I was very resentful of my parents at that time, and I think they did not protect me properly."
"I told them directly, you really are very derelict parents, pushed me to this place to suffer so much abuse, I feel that my whole life is ruined, and then my father was helpless:" Because we have not had children who see ghosts, and do not know what to do. "This sentence made Sofia feel free and reconciled with her family.
In recent years, Sophia, who has converted to Islam, has been a spiritual medium for more than 10 years. In addition to feeling fear, she has also been asked about the process of “getting out ”. Sophia especially thanked her parents for their brave help and support. I found out that not everyone has to go to the temple to help work, otherwise there will be retribution. ” She revealed that she was only the moment she saw the heroine of“ Psychic Girl ” Guo Shuyao imitated her, which opened the process of exploring the past and learning to value her feelings. A value has invaded my life, so I try to understand him. "
In the film, Ofik ’ s peers at the Taoist Church say that “unreasonable dogma makes it difficult for children to connect with people when they grow up. ” Chen, who has been involved in religious research for many years, analyses that the development of religion will change with people ’ s needs.
Deng Wei-jen and Sophia stressed the importance of religious education and suggested that the public should know more about the diversity of religions. Deng Wei-jen believes that "learning respect for dialogue between religions is important. Children should have the right to autonomy, and how parents can know reasonable religious beliefs." The line is something to think about. "

Book bans: Let’s ring in a new year of non-censorship

As 2023 dawns, Ray Bradbury’s groundbreaking work about censorship, “Fahrenheit 451,” will celebrate the 70th anniversary of its publication. The question is, will this milestone year be greeted with rejoicing that the United States has not become the dystopian world Bradbury created in 1953?

He was inspired by Nazi book burnings, the McCarthy era, and ideological repression in the Soviet Union. Given the current challenges to the freedom to read, particularly for young readers, any commemoration of this anniversary would be tinged with a certain amount of irony. According to PEN America, in one year, between July 2021 and June 2022, 1,648 unique book titles were banned in 32 states.

These newly banned books join “Fahrenheit 451,” which was both banned and re-released in a sanitized form. Among the titles recently pulled from library shelves are picture books for young children, such as “Julián Is a Mermaid” by Jessica Love, and books for teens and young adults, such as “All Boys Aren’t Blue” by George M. Johnson. Despite being found on numerous “best books” lists, both books were banned because of their LGBTQIA themes.

The banning of children’s books, like Prohibition in the 1920s, the “Just Say No” drug education in the 1980s, and the ever-present “Abstinence Only” sex education programs, is doomed to fail in its attempt to restrict the content to which young people have access. Children are innately curious and nothing brings attention to a topic like telling them it is forbidden. Publicized book bans often lead to increased sales. This is also not a case of “what they don’t know won’t hurt them.”

Restricting children’s access to books limits opportunities for them to connect to people who look and act differently from them, and to learn to understand challenging parts of U.S. history. This hinders their development of critical thinking skills.

As a university educator, author, former elementary school teacher and parent, I have seen the power of diverse and complex books to engage children in meaningful and thoughtful conversations. Children are much more aware, informed and competent than some may assume. Books can be a source of joy, curiosity and intrigue for children and their families — not something to be hidden away.

Regardless of opinions on the content of specific books, and their appropriateness for children of certain ages, it is critical to oppose any attempts to remove books from library shelves. This is not simply because many do not want to live in Bradbury’s dystopian society, but also because book bans serve as a distraction from the real conversations about how to educate children to be thoughtful consumers of various sources of media.

Individuals routinely make decisions about what types of print and digital media to consume. Some may turn away from a graphic image in the newspaper; some may choose to watch a silly comedy after a frustrating day of work. After the initial COVID lockdowns and the conclusion of the 2020 presidential election season, for example, many people were less likely to watch the news and instead chose comedies to fill their entertainment time. Simply taking books away from children prevents them from learning how to make these important choices.

In a structured environment like a classroom, or in a home where children and their family members can discuss books, children can be taught to interrogate texts and images they find in the books they are reading. Teachers and parents can ask questions and guide children as they learn to consume a “text diet” that includes books that reflect their beliefs and others that expose them to the realities and complexities of the world in which they live.

The ability for children to think critically about texts and have trusted adults they can talk to when something confuses or concerns them is a better solution than ill-conceived book bans. Attempting to keep difficult topics away from children is as easy as putting “the toothpaste back in the tube.”

Texts are available in various formats across platforms — for example, “Julian is a Mermaid” is read aloud on YouTube, and “All Boys are Not Blue” is an audiobook downloaded to a digital device. While there are parental controls that keep the most graphic content away from children, published books are relatively easy to find, even if they are banned in a school or library district. Adults who closely monitor their children’s access might be surprised to see what they encounter online. For this reason, teaching children to manage difficult topics in a supportive environment must be a priority.

Few may argue that every book is appropriate for all children at every stage of their lives. Television shows, video games and movies all have ratings, and the children’s books at the local library are likely separated into categories such as “everybody,” “junior” and “teen.”

Parents and guardians make decisions daily about what is best for their children based on their knowledge of their children and their personal belief systems. These choices are completely divorced from calls to ban books. Book censorship says that no child in a school or community should be allowed to read a text and that the material is so bad that, figuratively, the book should be “burned.”

In 2023, we have a choice regarding what side of history to be on — the side of fruitless book bans that represent content found easily through a simple internet search, or the side of the “fireman” from “Fahrenheit 451,” who said: “We need to really be bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?”

Perhaps 2023 is the time for all individuals to be bothered by something they read, and to use that discontent as a starting point for important conversations in their homes, schools and communities.

Content: Experts emphasize the need for parents to pay attention to the new value system and understand
A child of the age of social media.
The windows widen and the beds remain the "conscious sergeant"
In an age dominated by technology and social media platforms, the family is no longer the only source of education for the child, as the windows from which he receives his values are more complex and wide, including the worlds of the Internet and social networking spaces, which are a double-edged sword, as they open eyes to the future, but contain risks to be wary of....
Experts and specialists in sociology and family guidance met by « UAE Today » stressed the need for parents to pay attention to and understand the various sources of education, in order to reduce the negative effects that may result, providing a set of tips for the conscious education of the child in light of the system of new values imposed by the era and tools.
Dr. Ahmed Al Amoush, a sociologist at the University of Sharjah, pointed out that there is a value system in children associated with the virtual world, which is not in line with traditional upbringing, so sometimes the values of parents and children conflict.
He added: "Some people view the new system as a mistake, knowing that it is not absolutely so, but it is a virtual reality, the traditional system is based on the tangible world, while the new values are intertwined with the virtual world."
Dr. Al-Amoush pointed to the importance of the role of the school, which is included in the value and behavioral system of children, describing its role in the scientific role that is based on education, and giving the father and mother the role of education and upbringing.
He considered that upbringing before the spread of social media was traditional based on commitment and obedience, as the family and social environment were the main source of education, while today it is possible to have many partners, including technology, telephone and social media platforms.
He found it necessary for parents to cope with the new reality by living together and creating a good routine for the child, as it is possible to find alternatives to technology through physical activity.
He described the current reality of children as belonging to the future, the children of this new generation live in a different world, so there is sometimes a contradiction between them and their parents, and to bridge the gap, some steps must be taken.
Integration of roles
On the steps that bridge the gap between parents and children, Dr. Al-Amoush explained that the most prominent of them are: realism in dealing with children, and moving away from the traditional parental administration, because the child lives in an open global village, as well as trying to identify the interests of the new generation and get closer to him.
As for the upbringing of an Arab child with a global culture, he considered that this is through the integration of roles between school, family and media, there is a set of roles for the family, and it is important to understand this vast world and keep pace with it and support it with a local cultural system, to support the family in the process of education.
He pointed to the possibility of finding local social platforms specialized in the content of the good child, and directing the son towards them, because the child is not programmed, and the virtual world gives him a lot of opinions, and sometimes suffers contradictions that make him withdrawn or isolated.
On the negative effects of social media platforms on the child, Dr. Al-Amoush stressed that he may rebel against the traditional value system, and become aggressive, as well as the emergence of the selfish side.
Big clout.
For her part, the specialist in psychological and family counseling Lama Safadi, on the formation of values   in the child under the influence of the social networking system, said that « this depends on the extent of the child 's link to this system, some families allow their children to open accounts on all social networking platforms and they are below the age of allowed, while others have greater control and do not allow it », You agree that you do not own these platforms.
If the child is following social media platforms when he is not 13 years old, Lama Safadi pointed to the importance of undergoing “Filtering ” sessions, which instil in the young the idea that what he sees on social media platforms is completely unrealistic, and that it is possible for any human being to create content that serves his personal interest without his goals being correct and realistic. With children about what they have seen, and who are the creators of the content they are following, in order to know what input is reaching them.
Comparing children in the age of social communication, and before the spread of platforms, the specialist in psychological counseling saw that there are negative and positive differences, the positive is the mind of the child developed and open to the world, and the presence of a large amount and momentum of information that makes him educated, especially if the contents he follows are useful.
She continued: "Most children do not know how to choose content, and so we find them go to funny light content, and most of the time it is people who depict pranks or contents that are not of value, and here lies the danger, because these contents cultivate values and principles beyond the limits of entertainment, including the possibility of insulting mother and father, or the possibility of hurting people to laugh, or even lie to attract followers and this is the most dangerous damage."
She described the role of the father and mother very important in monitoring the child, especially if he has accounts on social media platforms, provided that the child is under proper supervision, so that the subject of social communication remains comfortable and smooth, and the child can live as all his companions and those at his age, and even has the ability to choose the correct and appropriate for him. Parents, will make social media platforms partners with bad parenting and error.
A big challenge.
Safadi did not hide that the Emirati child today is living a great challenge, amid a lot of openness to cultures and social media platforms, praising the increasing awareness of Emirati families who are interested in the issue of local culture, especially as there are many centers in the country dealing with the issue of culture and reading in Arabic.
Accessible to all
For her part, the writer in children ’ s literature, a trainer of thinking skills and a philosophical facilitator for children, Haya Al-Qasim said: “Social media is accessible to everyone, and adjusting it is not easy, and we are witnessing the emergence of accounts with a lot of followings are for children, and we are parents and educators fully responsible for the content provided by the child on social media platforms, especially if the laws that do not allow opening accounts under age. ”
She added that the values   are formed in the child through the presence of a primary control of the parents, as it is possible to allow the child to surf through the Internet, with the presence of a child is raised, determines what is forbidden and allowed, because the values   differ from one environment to another, pointing out the need for parents to follow the channels followed by children, there must be awareness, and not leave the child in front of inappropriate contents, and educate him on how to act in case any such content. Contents.
She stressed the importance of building credibility between parents and children, through education based on dialogue with the child, as the period of the Corona pandemic imposed the presence of devices in the hands of children to a large extent, so dialogue must be found on a continuous basis.
Parents were given a set of controls that help raise the child in a distinctive way, including first determining the time spent by children on devices, and second agreeing on the content they watch, and determining the number of new applications that children download each week, provided that some applications of their choice, and some of the choice of parents, in order to invest their energy in applications that feed their minds, noting that at young ages it is difficult to rely on the credibility of the child only They must maintain control, because it is essential in a healthy upbringing.
Haya Al-Qasim mentioned a lot of positives for electronic devices and social media platforms, there are many children who have mastered many languages through electronic platforms, and some who suffer from obesity have lost a lot of weight through applications, so it is necessary to guide the child about what can be seen.
The family was placed first by raising the child, while school was second, and social communication third, along with the surrounding community, which confirmed that it continues to maintain its role in the UAE, due to the active role of the extended family.
She described the smart devices as a real influence on the child's mind, and leave a noticeable and rapid impact, pointing to the importance of finding an influential example in the child, which is formed through a healthy family relationship.
She considered that the Emirati child deals with more than 200 nationalities, and lives in a mixed cultural environment, so it is necessary to strengthen the values of his society, so that he can influence others without being influenced by other values and customs that do not belong to his culture.
The writer praised the initiatives of the UAE government that contribute to the upbringing of the new generation in a distinctive way, including the Arab Reading Challenge, which instilled a love of culture and reading in young people, as well as other initiatives that promote their love of giving, such as the One Billion Meals initiative.
• Experts stress the importance of building credibility between parents and children, through education based on dialogue.
The role of the father and mother is very important in monitoring the child, especially if he has accounts on social media platforms.
For a safe internet.
The Chairman of the Safe Internet Society, Dr. Abdullah Mohammed Al Mahyas, told Emirates Today that the UAE is making great efforts to protect children and young people from the dangers they may face during their use of the digital space, and to arm new generations with the values that enable them to open up to the future, while preserving the values, customs and traditions of the UAE society. A charity that seeks to raise awareness of the risks and disadvantages of using the Internet, especially for children.
He stressed that the responsibility of protecting children from the dangers of the Internet lies primarily with the family, as families must follow their children and communicate with them, to know the sites they use, and this convergence must be continuous and continuous, and not limited to a one-time or a passing question from the father or mother of children, as well as the family to control the period of use of the Internet, and encourage them to practice activities on the ground, such as To friends of their age.
He pointed out that the UAE is witnessing the organization of many events and festivals of a family nature, which encourages family members to gather together in a natural and entertaining atmosphere away from the virtual space and unreal worlds.
He stressed the need to raise awareness of how to behave properly if a person is exposed to any problem online, which is what the Society does by organizing seminars and awareness lectures to protect the family from the dangers of electronic content that may be exposed to them, and urging them to benefit from positive content in the digital world by introducing them to the tools of safe use of the Internet.
He explained that the association held its first international conference that discussed the protection of the Emirati child and his safety from the dangers of using the Internet and smart devices under the slogan “Children ’ s well-being in the digital world ”, and highlighted its efforts to protect children from the dangers of using the unsafe Internet to foresee a safe digital future and positive citizenship., with the aim of preparing a generation qualified to deal responsibly and consciously in the virtual world.
