Lots of people like to write off flat earth theory just because it’s “stupid” and “was disproven literal centuries ago.”

But, as men of science, we must be open to all ideas — or, at least, we should listen to them long enough to realize that it’s still dumb enough to laugh at.

Columbia Sportswear, however, has a bit more of an open mind. In a recent video, CEO Tim Boyle said that, if you can find the end of the earth, he’ll give you “the assets of the company.”

The rules state that, to qualify, the photo must be “a visible, physical end to the planet Earth. We’re talking infinite sheer drop, abyssal void, clouds cascading into infinity.” So, no cliff faces, no glaciers — only Earth suddenly becoming space.

Of course, there’s a caveat. The exact terms say that, if you *do* prove the Earth is flat, the assets you’ll be given are limited to a value of $100k. Still, if you actually prove that the Earth is flat, the specifics of your cash reward are going to be the least of everyone’s concerns.
