Off the Edge Flat Earthers, Conspiracy Culture, and Why People Will Believe Anything


Free Download Off the Edge: Flat Earthers, Conspiracy Culture, and Why People Will Believe Anything by Kelly Weill
English | 2022 | ISBN: B09QC19VRV | 7 hours and 13 minutes | MP3@64 kbps + EPUB | 149 Mb
Since 2015, there has been a spectacular boom in a nearly 200-year-old delusion – the idea that we all live on a flat plane, under a glass dome, ringed by an impossible wall of ice. It is the ultimate in conspiracy theories, a wholesale rejection of everything we know to be true about the world in which we live. Where did this idea come from? Weill draws a straight line from today’s conspiratorial moment back to the early days of Flat Earth theory in the 1830s, showing the human impulses behind divergences in belief. Faced with a complicated world out of our individual control, we naturally seek patterns to explain the inexplicable. The only difference between then and now? Social media. And, powered by Facebook and YouTube algorithms, the Flat Earth movement is growing.
At once a definitive history of the movement and an enjoyable look at its expansive, absurd, and dangerous present, Off the Edge introduces us to a cast of larger-than-life characters, from 19th-century grifters to 20th-century small-town tyrants to the provocateurs of Alex Jones’ early-aughts internet, whose rancor sowed the early seeds of our modern division. We accompany Weill to Flat Earther conferences, where we meet moms on vacation, hard-line creationists, scammy YouTube celebrities and their victims, Neo-Nazi rappers, and even a man determined to fly into space in a homemade rocket-powered balloon – whose tragic death proves as senseless and absurd as the theory he set out to prove. Incisive and clear-eyed, Off the Edge tells a powerful story about belief, exploring how we arrived at this moment of polarized realities and explaining what needs to happen so that we might all return to the same spinning globe.

Self-Assembly of Flat Organic Molecules on Metal Surfaces A Theoretical Characterisation


Free Download Self-Assembly of Flat Organic Molecules on Metal Surfaces: A Theoretical Characterisation by Manuela Mura
English | PDF (True) | 2012 | 181 Pages | ISBN : 3642303242 | 11.4 MB
Manuela Mura’s thesis is devoted to ab initio studies of self-assembled organic molecules on a gold surface. This area of research is particularly vibrant because of the various applications such studies have in nanoscience and surface chemistry and physics. In this thesis Manuela Mura uses theory to suggest atomistic models for the observed assembled and she proposes an assembly mechanism. The methods and results developed as part of this work will be of wide interest to physicists and chemists working on the assemblies of organic molecules on crystal surfaces.

Contemporary Philosophy for Maritime Archaeology Flat Ontologies, Oceanic Thought, and the Anthropocene


Free Download Dr Sara Rich, "Contemporary Philosophy for Maritime Archaeology: Flat Ontologies, Oceanic Thought, and the Anthropocene"
English | ISBN: 9464270403 | 2023 | 344 pages | PDF | 24 MB
While terrestrial archaeology has engaged with contemporary philosophy, maritime archaeology has remained in comparative disciplinary – or subdisciplinary – isolation. However, the issues that humans face in the Anthropocene – from global warming to global pandemics – call for transdisciplinary cooperation, and for thinking together beyond the confines of the human-centered philosophical tradition. Growing areas such as the "blue humanities" and "oceanic thinking" draw directly on our maritime past, even as they ponder the future. Theoretically engaged maritime archaeologists could contribute significantly to these areas of thought, as this volume demonstrates. The essays collected here serve as jumping off point, which opens new ways for maritime archaeologists to engage with the most important problems of our time and to benefit from the new insights offered by object-oriented and flat ontologies. The book gathers the analytical thinking of archaeologists, philosophers, marine biologists, and media theorists, and pushes those observations deep into the maritime realm.

When the Earth Was Flat tells the fascinating story behind those scientific theories we once believed to be true, and shows how the way we view the world, and the way we think the world works, has changed completely throughout history.

Who can say if murder is a greater crime than thievery? Dave Cray and Gramps, after the end of the Civil War, moved east from Oregon to settle a new and bountiful territory. What they did, they did with their hands, but they had no money. Smiling Jim Sully opened a store there and he had money but allowed the farmers to barter hay for goods. But Smiling Jim had other ideas, he wanted the farmer’s lands. Dave Cray had his desire, Smiling Jim’s daughter, Ann. It was a spark and a fire which brought all sides into a heated confrontation. How will anyone come out of it alive?
