![]() Some examples include 'Dual Earth Theory' (various different models have been advanced), ‘Celestial Gears’ (allegedly responsible for turning the stars, etc.), ‘Bendy Light’ (see under ‘Sun and Moon’) and ‘Accelerating Earth’ (see under ‘Gravity’): They clearly don’t follow the ‘Zetetic method’. Flat earthers advance sub-theories that have no evidence and could be classed as pseudoscience.However, flat earth theory does not explain a lot of the data, and so the flat earthers' invent very complex and improbable ad hoc theories that violate the law of parsimony (Occam's Razor): Flat earthers claim 'Occam's Razor' favors their theory.Rowbotham even cited a story where a boy allegedly lost his eyesight because he slept in a field in the bright moonlight: "At Peckham Rye, a boy named Lowry has entirely lost his sight by sleeping in a field in the bright moonlight." This demonstrates the nonsensical conclusions Zeteticism and the flat earth theory arrive at: Samuel Rowbotham believed moonlight is dangerous.Such a method does not prevent self-deception or delusion because it does not seek to test or falsify the conclusions of the tester. Instead of starting with a hypothesis which is then tested or falsified as in the scientific method, Zeteticism relies solely upon the experience and observation of the tester. Samuel Rowbotham was the first person to use the pseudoscientific method called Zeteticism for “flat earth” research.*Have you seen this video?
