“Professor Brian Cox Reveals the Mind-Blowing Truth That Obliterates Flat Earth Beliefs!”

Professor Brian Cox is not one to shy away from giving it to people straight and was once able to use a ‘simple fact’ to shut down the ‘flat earth theory’ in under a minute.

Now, the ex musician turned physicist is largely known for sharing his views on modern science throughout his various documentaries and books.

Though it’s easy to forget that the 56-year-old from Oldham was once the keyboardist for the 1990s rock band D:Ream.

Somewhere along the line you’ve probably heard of their hit song ‘Things Can Only Get Better’.

But for all those people who use scientific evidence and actual photos of the earth from space to form their opinions, you’ve got the likes of former boxer Carl Froch firmly believing that the photos showing the spherical shape of the earth are ‘fake’.

The once world champion said he would believe the earth was round ‘when someone like Richard Branson goes up there and starts doing chartered flights’ and people can look back at the planet for themselves.

So, in a viral video from some years ago, Cox was answering questions from the public about scientific matters – when a cheeky individual asked him about the Flat Earth theory.

It’s safe to say that Cox didn’t have much time for the idea, and comprehensively shut down flat earthers all around the world.

“There is absolutely no basis at all for thinking the world is flat,” he said.

“Nobody in human history, as far as I know, has thought the world was flat.

“The Greeks measured the radius of the earth.

“I cannot conceive of a reason why anybody would think the world is flat.”

But that wasn’t all, as the professor had more to say on the matter and all the evidence we have to show that the world is demonstrably not flat.

Cox added: “The very simple fact we’ve taken pictures of it. I’m lost for words, it’s probably the most nonsensical suggestion that a thinking human being could possibly make.

“It is drivel.”

It’s somewhat difficult to picture the friendly-looking scientist utterly demolishing the notion that the world might be flat but there it is.

Some former flat earthers have said that by being able to observe the fact that our world isn’t flat for themselves it snapped them out of the mindset, and apparently the rest of us who know the world isn’t flat are known as ‘globeheads’.
