There was a time it was assumed that the world was flat. Then Columbus and all the other explorers proved definitively that was not the case.
Tonight on Twitter, B.o.B. decided to bring back the long dormant flat earth argument.
The cities in the background are approx. 16miles apart... where is the curve ? please explain this pic.twitter.com/YCJVBdOWX7

Some of his followers tried to reason with him.
@bobatl 16 miles is 0.06% of the earth's circumference, you can't expect to see the curvature of earth in that distance — Sam Prudence (@Sam_Prudence) January 25, 2016
@Sam_Prudence @bobatl If earth was flat we'd have already either discovered an edges, or there would be more & more continents discovered.

But B.o.B wasn't having it.
Time-lapse photos of stars form perfect circles... how is this possible ? pic.twitter.com/d9d1sJja8z — B.o.B (@bobatl) January 25, 2016
have u been to the edge ? or is that what your science book told you https://t.co/61qaI5xx5f

No matter how high in elevation you are... the horizon is always eye level ... sorry cadets... I didn't wanna believe it either. — B.o.B (@bobatl) January 25, 2016

y'all be like... "you're not high enough to see the curve...keep going" pic.twitter.com/dzgYpIIao3 — B.o.B (@bobatl) January 25, 2016
I was on a plane the SAME time the Red Bull jump happened. The pilot told us to lookout the window.. 5 miles to the left was the balloon
— B.o.B (@bobatl) January 25, 2016
We were flying at the SAME altitude as the guy who did the red bull jump... NO curve... even tho their footage shows otherwise — B.o.B (@bobatl) January 25, 2016
You can regurgitate force fed information all day... still doesn't change physics.

A lot of people are turned off by the phrase "flat earth" ... but there's no way u can see all the evidence and not know... grow up — B.o.B (@bobatl) January 25, 2016
Convinced? This guy isn't...
@bobatl your album sales flat also
