Flat Earthers do stump a lot of people by asking how if the planet is other than flat the Nile River can flow northward over the Earth's curvation when its delta near Alexandria sits 534 MILES higher than the river's headwaters in the center of the continent. They claim this means water is flowing uphill against gravity, which is impossible.

You see Flat Earthers and those who like to argue with them going back and forth over this a lot online, each side trying to persuade the other it has the correct answer to that apparent contradiction.

That's a weird one. Everything I see says that--of course--the headwaters are HIGHER elevation than the delta. The headwaters are in freaking mountains, the delta is sea level. Come to think of it, envisioning a globe, I'm having trouble imagining why they think earth's curvature would effect the flow of water in any way. Earth's gravity pulls everything toward the center, not the north or south. Walking towards the equator is not like walking uphill or downhill, the gravitational force is acting on a different axis entirely.

If someone told me the earth was flat I wouldn't debate it-I would be too busy laughing my ass off.

I hadn't thought of that, but, that is, of course, correct. The Nile river flows south to north, whereas, I believe, most rivers of that type, flow north to south like the Missouri and Mississippi. Within the U.S., there is the St. John's River, which also flows south to north, and, of course, it is in Florida, where it is the longest river in Florida at 310 miles, and the drop in elevation from its headwaters to its mouth is only 30 feet.

Though, with further thought, I believe that there are a number of rivers in Siberia that flow from south to north, and, of course, there is the European Rhine, which begins in Switzerland and ends in Netherlands, for another river that flows south to north.

Kentucky's Liking River flows northward, too.

Thank-you for that, ER. While most rivers flow north to south, I imagine there are a surprising number of rivers that flow in the opposite direction or south to north.

I am surprised at how long the Flat Earth Society has been around, as it was founded in the 1950s, but, it has been in resurgence recently, and part of that, is probably due to the popularity of the internet. You'd think they'd know better, but Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving and rapper B.o.B. are Flat Earthers.

I think Kyrie Irving may be the reason this b.s. has resurfaced lately. You never heard about it just a few years ago, and now all of the sudden it's all over YouTube.
