The bold attempt to solve the toughest mystery at the heart of physics

Physics is tough. Want to spot a ripple in space-time? You just need a detector capable of seeing a length change less than one-millionth the size of an atom. Want to find a Higgs boson? No problem – so long as you have $7 billion, 14 years and 6000 scientists to hand. Still, one experiment is so hard as to make even the cheeriest physicist gulp: testing the idea that gravity is quantum.

Flat Qubiters

Flat Earthers are a small but growing community of people who, as the name suggests, believe that the Earth is flat. They claim, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that they can account using flat geometry for all the experiments revealing the Earth’s spherical shape.
