Is the Concave Earth Theory a joke?

Maybe the whole theory is just a joke on Ancient aliens and other weird theories because no intelligent human being can believe this. Do you think this guy actually believes this?

I consider this a subset of the "hollow earth" theory, as does wikipedia (so I am in good company.) Apparently there was some Arab mathematician, Mostafa Abdelkader, who "proved" this several decades ago (mathematically.) Read a bit about this guy Cyrus Reed Teed, who started a whole cult and city based on the idea in the early 20th century.

The "concave" earth theory is worth a show when Art comes back. Or by Knapp.

Yes

Hm interesting. I thought it was just one crazy guy who played Halo too much. It's worth a show I guess. I always thought the Hollow earth theory was interesting especially with the myths of whats down there. Concave earth is 100 % false of course but interesting.

And here I thought the premise of this thread was rhetorical. Yes.

I don't know about concave Earth, but I guess we do live on a flat Earth... I mean, this guy's arguments are unassailable:

Unfortunately it is a Norry show but this week we get a guy on the "enclosed earth theory," as he calls it.

He basically admitted that he took Admiral Byrd's theory and ran with it. Nothing new really. A shame I got my hopes up for that show. I should have known.

Okay, what possessed you to ask a hard question? Eh?

Oh, so it's kind of like the Hunger Games dome. Does that make God in reality just some dude manning the controls, dialing in random volcanoes, tsunamis, hurricanes, etc?

He equivocates a bit on what his final model would look like, it seemed. But it seems to be glass-like dome (with some escape valves possibly and made out of either a yet unknown mineral but regardless something very hard- hence our attempts to 'nuke it' failed and why we've stopped testing nukes in the atmosphere) with a flat earth with earth, and possibly hollow chambers, below it floating in space. I think he thought holograms etc for the sun, stars, etc. Meteors/comets falling to earth "easily" explained by gravity "like someone dropping a rock in." That could be God, alien species, or actually humans (he had some idea about "us" choosing to move here like a vacation or to experience pain and hardship . I wasn't totally paying attention so unclear on his math or ability to sail around to places but NASA etc faked-up and "there is a cover-up" but "now due to the internet" people are "waking up" to the reality and so likely with computers we will start making even more realities.
