Mark Sargent shows a miniature model of the Flat Earth in documentary 'Behind the Curve,' now streaming on Netflix. Later, the documentary checks in on people with even more fantastical beliefs, including theorizing that additional, undiscovered continents are out there, beyond the wall. Antarctica isn't a unified continent, but a giant ice wall-just like in Game of Thrones, Sargent says-that surrounds the continents of Earth. Sargent and other proponents of a Flat Earth believe that our planet is covered by a gigantic dome, with the sun and moon rotating in circles above our heads. 'The reason why we're winning against science is that science just throws math at us,' Sargent says in Behind the Curve. 'Neil Degrasse Tyson-I hate saying his name, we call him He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named-says that, 'It's a growing anti-intellectual movement that borders on the end of civilization and democracy as we know it.''Ĭut to Tyson's 2016 appearance on Comedy Central's The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore : 'The Earth isn't fucking flat.' 'Science is having a problem combatting what we are doing,' Mark Sargent says early in Behind the Curve, citing the fact that he can see Seattle skyscrapers from his mother's home on Whidbey Island, when he presumes they should be hidden behind the Earth's curvature.
