Flat Earthers & the Bedford Level Experiment of 1838

Flat Earth folk refuse to believe that the Earth is spherical. Having seen the curvature of the Earth with my own eyes, at 60,000 ft. from Concorde in '77, I find it's difficult to convince these people...

In 1838 an experiment was performed on a six mile canal near Bedford. It is still used by flat-earthers as "proof" that our world is flat....






The results from the experiment confounded scientists for 30 years before it was realised that it is merely an optical refraction effect.
