Sorry, using that analogy of a flat Earth is not the right one.  That shows your lack of scientific knowledge.  Science is always evidence-based.  Long before that, there were already several observable evidences for a non-flat Earth.

So if I simply come up with an idea that claims if you take my newly invented drug, you can live one thousand years more, does that make it true?  NO.  Claims must be evidence-based.  There is ZERO evidence that one can produce nuclear reactions from a spinning scooter, and therefore produce energy in exchange of loss of mass.

For someone like you, going around on internet, and believe everything literally as true, just because it came from someone's mouth, I have no words to describe such mental state.

Armstrong HAD the possession of the scooter to run testing.  And still he couldn't understand that there is no free energy.  I think I will feel better taking advice from a high school student than from Armstrong.
