England legend Andrew Flintoff, who has been a huge fan of the Flat Earthers podcast, has come up with a rather bizarre conspiracy theory that suggests that Earth isn’t spherical but turnip shaped.
Over the years, many debates and discussions have been triggered by the Flat Earthers’ – people who believe that the Earth is flat and not round – and Flintoff has had his doubts over the shape of the world he lives in too.
Speaking to Laura Woods on talkSPORT, the 42-year-old revealed: “It’s (the Earth) more like a flat turnip.
Clarifying his take on the subject, Flintoff asserted that he doesn’t think the Earth is flat like a pancake, although it isn’t the perfect sphere that the scientists claim it to be.
“I’m not saying it’s like a pancake, I’ve never said that. I’m saying it’s slightly round, but not your perfect sphere,” he said.
Flintoff had a few things to say about the gravity of the world too as he suggested that the fact that Australia is ‘upside down’, people there would have all the blood rush to their head.
“People think I’m daft, but if you think about it, there’s this thing called gravity that we’re sticking to the world in…
“If you think about that in the cold light of day, it’s bonkers isn’t it? It is bonkers.
“Imagine being in Australia, you’re upside down… all the blood would rush to your head. It would be a nightmare.”
Earlier, England’s 2005 Ashes hero had questioned as to why the water in the oceans is not wobbling if the Earth is round, why does it stay still all the time. Amitting his obsession with The Flat Earthers podcast, the former England all-rounder made some really bizarre points.
He insisted there was “evidence to suggest the world isn’t round”. He then went on to add: “If you’re in a helicopter and you hover why does the Earth not come to you if it’s round? Why, if we’re hurtling through space, why would water stay still? Why is it not wobbling?
“Also if you fire a laser about 16 miles, if the world was curved, you shouldn’t be able to see it but you can.”
