He doesn't believe in science.
Science is a system that collects and categories information and uses controlled methods to test and prove or disprove theories.
The formulas he likes are based on scientific methods he disbelieves.
Wow.

Damn. it's scary. It really is. If he dies, which would be fine, he would most certainly be in the Darwin Award Hall of Fame. I'm not really sure how you prove that the Earth is flat by going one mile up. Maybe someone needs to take this raving idiot up in an airplane. As a pilot I know that the Earth is round (not that I had doubts) because of the need to keep your nose on the horizon to maintain level flight. It keeps you following the countour of the planet. If you flew toward the edge of a flat surface you would be diving and would eventually crash! How does a mental midget like this explain sailing or flying around the Earth. He'd probably tell you that it's all lies and that no one has ever really done it!!

I just posted my comment about airplanes on the site. I'll be curious to see if I get an answer.

Maybe someone needs to take this raving idiot up in an airplane. Those nutters have an answer for that too. Version one is that every pilot and every single person on an airplane ever is in on it, you know, for that sweet, sweet NASA money. Version two is that airplanes have windows with special refractive properties to give the illusion of curvature. For that sweet, sweet NASA money. Alternatively it's the jews, they all are in control and are rich from all that sweet, sweet NASA money. Except me, I'm a jew and the others must have forgotten me because I live in a crappy one bed apartment and drive a clunker. And noone will tell me where the headquarters are so I can complain. I want my share. My share of that sweet, sweet NASA money. There is always a crazy answer there. I am always reminded of when I was a kid and we would play guns. Kids always have crazy answers to the always changing rules of the game. Kid 1: "Bang, I gotcha" Kid 2: "tweeeeeeng, Nah-uh, bullet-repelling-shield" Kid 1: "Bang, I gotcha, bullet-repelling-shield-piercing bullet" Kid 2: "Nah-uh, I'm a hologram, I'm really in Australia but invisible..." Kid 1: "Australia is fake, people would fall off" Kid 2: "Nah-uh, they glue their feet to the ground with drop bear glue" Tell me,if they think the Earth is flat,what's at the edges? A wall of ice that surrounds everything. They think that is what antarctica is. I am not making this up I swear. There is always a crazy answer and one even crazier after that.

Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

I'm not sure but wasn't there a privately owned MiG somewhere that you could pay to go on an edge of space flight in ? Gotta be safer than what hes planning surely.

One skydiving lesson will get him a lot higher, for a lot less money, and there won't be any carnival windows to worry about once you jump. Not to mention that the risk of death will be far less.
