A fresh docudrama called “ Behind The Curve ” has recently been   free on Netflix , look into the citizenry of the Flat Earth movement and how they terminate up consider such an outlandish idea .

The film has received cocksure limited review , with critics commenting on how it focalise on the human side of the bowel movement , rather than dismissing them . Many watcher have enjoyed a particular time from the documentary , where a flat - Earther proves that the Earth is not flat live on photographic camera . In the immortal words of Meryl Streep : “ These are the moment that make life deserving know ” .

In the clip , a flat - Earther named   Jeran from a grouping have it off as Globebusters position up a simple experimentation to prove that the Earth is bland . He   used two board , both with a hole at a   height of 5.18 measure ( 17 metrical foot ) above pee spirit level , a camera , and another someone by the name of Henrique holding a flannel mullein at the same summit and align with the trap .

If the Earth was flat , no matter how far Henrique was , the lightness would come   through the holes . But on a globular Earth , there ’s the curve to consider . Given Henrique ’s distance from the holes , he would have to place   the light above his head ( 7 meters/23 feet above the water level ) for it to be seen .

When   the experiment began , the light did n’t appear on tv camera . A perplexed Jeran radioed Henrique to confirm the height of the visible radiation at 5.18 meter ( 17 feet )   above sea story . On a flat Earth , he should be seeing the light . He then asked Henrique to lift the lightness above his head . Lo and behold , the light shine through .

“ That ’s interesting , ” Jeran comment during the special scene .

And you know what ? It is interesting . This observational readiness up has been a raw material of matt - Earthers since 1836 , when Samuel Birley Rowbotham first did it on theOld Bedford River . Time and time again , it has revealed   the curve of the Earth . Still , it is important to continue to repeat classic experiment as repeat is one of the groundwork of scientific discipline .
