This is pretty dumb
and yet flat earth beliefs linger because no one can refute some of their arguments
There are many ways to disprove them. The problem is they are either trolling to have fun or are people who can't accept they are being wrong, even through no fault of their own.
They can all be proven to be bollocks, be it based on an incomplete underatanding of the physics behind it. But usually flat earthers don't want to listen and just keep repeating the same nonsense to each other.
Edit: here, as reply to those claims in the abstract on that website
