The Strange Case of Flat-Earther Elliot:
A Modern-Day Flat-Earther on Trial
If the seas are flat at
"sea level" and the world
is mostly sea, then the
world is mostly flat."
-- Flat Earther Elliot
by John M. Eriksen
Format: Paperbook, ebook - Lulu Press (Order here)(Revised and updated with new information from the original
Amazon e-book version. Elliot's story comes to life with more
details on his life before the trial and an Epilogue that covers
the outcome of a real-life flat earth court case.)
In a court transcript that reads like a play, Flat-Earther Elliot is snatched from his home by local authorities who commit him to a mental ward for posting "Flat Earth" and other conspiracy topics on YouTube. Fortunately, his friends find a adept attorney knowledgeable in the flat earth theory. Go deep into the psychology and details of the case.
Read excerpts >>>Excerpts of the Book
The court dialogue is dead serious but also at times hilariously funny. Topics examined include:
> the development of the Copernican theory
> the unproven assumptions at the base of modern astronomy
> determining the distance to the sun and other heavenly bodies
> hidden scientific experiments not generally taught in universities
> little known aspects of the moon and eclipses
> surprising quotes from famous astrophysicists
> scientific books & papers examining alternate models of cosmology
The trial is bound to be a landmark case and the facts uncovered will surprise the most astute students of astronomy. The mental diagnosis (per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) for Flat-Earther Elliot, the trial process itself (e.g., jury rights), and legal procedures are also discussed. Continue to learn from Flat-Earther Elliot's huge bibliography of over 100 books and nearly 60 online references for both spherical and flat earth cosmological models--which also exposes a surprising amount of historic information already in print on this debate from the last 150 years.
"... Simultaneous circularity. A good read to raise questions about assumptions that seem to be ubiquitous in a culture. All cultures have such unquestioned beliefs. We are free to question at least silently and embrace the vibration that serves us best." -- B.A. Available at:
