Bumi datar

Bumi datar adalah sebuah konsepsi arkais dari kaum yang biasa disebut " Manusia otak datar " bentuk Bumi sebagai bidang atau cakram. penganut bumi ini lebih memilih berhalusinasi daripada mempercayai kemajuan teknologi , mereka sering menggunakan kitab suci terjemahan sebagai bahan debat , ketika ada pihak bumi bulat menantang kaum bumi datar untuk keluar angkasa mereka menolak dengan alasan tidak ada manusia yg bisa menembus kubah bumi kecuali nabi muhammad saw. Mungkin takut halusinasinya terbantahkan ya jadi kaga berani menerima tantangannya . Banyak dari kebudayaan kuno menganut kosmografi bumi datar, yang meliputi Yunani sampai zaman klasik, peradaban Zaman Perunggu dan Zaman Besi dari Timur Dekat sampai periode Helenistik, India sampai zaman Gupta (awal abad-abad Masehi), dan Tiongkok sampai abad ke-17. Paradigma tersebut juga biasanya dipegang dalam budaya-budaya orang asli benua Amerika, dan pernyataan bahwa Bumi datar dikubahi oleh cakrawala dalam bentuk mangkuk adalah hal umum dalam masyarakat pra-saintifik.^[1]

Gagasan Bumi bulat dikemukakan oleh seorang filsuf Yunani yaitu Pythagoras^[2]^[3] (abad ke-6 SM), meskipun kebanyakan masyarakat pra-Sokratik (abad ke 6 – 5 SM) meyakini model Bumi datar. Aristoteles memberikan bukti bentuk bulat Bumi pada sekitar 330 SM. Pengetahuan Bumi bulat secara bertahan mulai menyebar pada dunia Helenistik sejak saat itu.^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]

Teori-teori Bumi datar modern, seperti hal-hal yang diutarakan oleh perhimpunan Bumi datar modern, umumnya dicap pseudosains.^[8]
