However, this is not true anymore in today's society. These are all from inductive research, and traditionally, it's very easy to defeat inductive research hypothesis, because if someone tells you the earth is flat, you can simply present your observation as above to them, one example out of their hypothesis would destroy their hypothesis, even you don't have all the specific training that required to answer their specific questions. However, I won't say they are entirely wrong, because lots of our sociology is doing the same thing and get away with it! So often because there are so many people bought into their craps: black can't be racist because of institutional discrimination, women being raped and suppressed and underpaid in this society, Trump is a Nazi, Hate speech is not free speech, one more, speciesism which coming out of non-eating-meat discussing in class. Because all these require you have specific training on physics, sometime, even cosmetology, some cases could involve advanced biology, so people are easily get caught in details, and because the claim is so outrageous, it has shocking factor to society.

If you missed in the details,like on mountain top you pretty much only see flat land between two distant city, and on horizon the sea level extend beyond at a flat angle, etc. So someone think they can do a hypothesis this way to prove earth is flat. Nowadays, science usually use inductive approach, from specific to general conclusion, which in some cases, being abused by sociology, for example: racism, sexism, etc, all from inductive research. There are two types of research: deductive and inductive research. Logically, it's a weak inductive fallacy. This a hypothesis putting out there on Internet to mock current sociology, the key is limited information or misinformation. I would like to hear everyone else’s opinions and evidence on this topic because it is becoming pretty controversial. The existence of time zones (in China it is day time while in the US it is night time) You are able to only see certain stars from different sides of the equator, not all at onceĤ. The moon is round, so it is suggested that the Earth is also round (however there is discussion on whether the moon is real or not so I would like to hear opinions on that!)ģ.

My opinion is that the Earth is round for several reasons.ġ. This became a topic of discussion because my boyfriend’s Dad had suggested that the Earth is indeed flat, despite what everyone says.

Is earth flat or round
