New Scientific Project #ForceTheLine


In 1897, Geodesist Ulysses G. Morrow conducted a groundbreaking experiment that decidedly changed the shape of the earth forever. This experiment is known as the rectilineator experiment. The concept of the experiment was to force a straight line via mechanical process. The rectilineator experiment took place at Naples Beach, Florida, and demonstrated that the earth is actually a concave sphere we live in rather than a convex ball we live on. For more information of this shocking experiment, please watch the below documentary about it:


I firmly believe that the rectilineator experiment must be redone in order to show a scientific evidence for the shape of the earth. Relying on indirect evidences (e.g. flatness of horizon, transit of Venus, shadows) will not give any indication of the correct shape of the earth. See why here:


The only possible method to scientifically determine the shape of the earth is by mechanically forcing a straight line over a few miles. Then, the curvature of the earth can be compared to and determined from that straight line.

As time goes by, more and more people within different earth shape communities are seeing the need to conduct this experiment. For example, Brian Mullin (a popular figure in the flat earth community) made a video calling for people to do a rectilineator type experiment. His video even sparked the flat earth hashtag, #ForceTheLine:


The bottom line is that we have no scientific clue as to what the shape of the earth might be. That’s where I come in. I want the rectilineator to be redone and retested. That way, convex earthers, flat earthers, and concave earthers can see with their own eyes the mechanical result of forcing a line.

If this fund reaches its goal, I will personally dedicate my time and effort to rebuilding the rectilineator exactly the same way as was done in 1897 (with the exceptions of working in metric instead of US due to its scientific simplicity, and of using a 100 meter long water tube instead of the ocean to measure the water line). I will personally buy and cut the wood, make a 4 meter level, and travel to Florida to examine the remains of the original rectilineator (I live in California). After that, I will seek out a beach in California to do it. This experiment will also be video recorded 24/7 throughout the entire project and available for public viewing online.

If you have the desire to determine with scientific certainty the shape of the earth, please donate and help this project succeed. Thank you.
