The World is NOT Flat
Since the beginning of ages, those who travelled the world by foot and horse believed that the earth was flat. As our technology evolved, we finally agreed with the greek philosophers that the earth was indeed round. But, despite the surplus of evidence going against them, a small fractions of conspirators till argue that the world is flat.
Those who believe the world is flat don’t trust the government or NASA. The state that the pictures sent from satellites were faked. The moon landing and its accounts from eye witnesses means little to nothing to theorist, because the moon landing was faked. To them, since the earth feels flat, it must be true. They can’t physically see gravity, so gravity must be an illusion put on by the government.
The flat earth theory is majorly pushed by The Flat Earth Society, who has been steadily gaining small amounts of followers daily since 2009. (Barley double digits mind you, but an increase is still an increase). The Flat Earth Society has been gaining a lot more traction recently, however, with popular media influencers informing of The Flat Earth Society to their millions of viewers (Shane Dawson) , and some going ever further and actually believing them (Logan Paul)
To say the earth is flat simply isn’t true. There are 10 major factors that flat earth-ers blatantly ignore.
- The Moon
- The horizon
- Star constellations
- Shadows
- Seeing further from higher
- What’s seen when inside a plane
- Other planets
- Time Zones
- Gravity
- Pictures from the Moon landing or satellites
Despite the overwhelming evidence, flat earth-ers are quick to be persistently vague to ignore them. It’s not up to me to choose if you believe or not, but just be aware of the amount of criticism you may face from your family and peers.
