Renowned physicist Professor Brian Cox slams the Flat Earth theory, stating he'd use Sir Isaac Newton's 'Principia Mathematica' to debunk it. He criticizes the lack of scientific understanding and the reliance on conspiracy theories.
It's one of the most rampant conspiracy theories around the world. But there's bad news for Flat Earth ers, as a world renowned physicist has given his damning verdict on the theory. Professor Brian Cox, Professor of Particle Physics at the University of Manchester, bluntly claims that if he met a Flat Earth er, he would 'hit them over the head with Newton 's Principia'.
This book by Sir Isaac Newton, also known as Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, lays out the principles of time, force, and motion that have guided the development of modern physical science. Newton's work, first published in 1687, laid the foundation for the understanding of a spherical Earth as part of his broader contributions to physics and mathematics. However, if Flat Earthers aren't willing to read the full 466-page Principia, Professor Cox has a simpler explanation. Speaking to LADbible, he said: 'Because of the implication. 'Can you imagine if every time you get on a plane and fly somewhere, then the person who's in charge of the plane is part of a vast conspiracy that's trying to deceive you? Just imagine that.
