Do flat-earth believers have proof?
Images from space were final proof, if any were needed. Today’s flat-Earth believers are not, though, the first to doubt what seems unquestionable.

Is the horizon enough evidence to determine the shape of Earth?
It proves that the basis of all flat-earthers’ beliefs (the horizon appears flat) is insufficient evidence to determine the shape of the earth.” Cool science and logic always win in the end!

What is the flat Earth theory?
The believers in the Flat Earth Theory think that the “Earth is a disc with the Arctic Circle in the center and Antarctica, a 150-foot-tall wall of ice, around the rim.” (Wolchover).

Do flat-Earthers believe in the theory of gravity?
Many flat-Earthers also reject gravity, with the “UK model” suggesting that the disc is itself accelerating up at 9.8 m/s 2 to give the illusion of gravity. Physicists will scoff at these ideas, but the worrying thing is that they are spreading rapidly and gaining proponents outside America too.

What do flat-Earth conspiracy theories have in common?
What the flat-Earth theory, the globalist theory, and all other conspiracies have in common is their basis in ideology, not in facts. If conspiracy theories were driven by fact-based evidence, most of them would be relegated to the same historical dustbin as phrenology, the plum-pudding model of the atom, and the geocentric universe.
