Flat Earth Theory

Flat Earth Theory is the belief or hypothesis that the Earth is flat rather than spherical. Proponents of this theory argue that the Earth does not follow the scientific consensus on its shape and assert that various observations and interpretations suggest a flat planet. This perspective often relies on visual perceptions, mistrust of scientific institutions, and alternative explanations of phenomena related to gravity, horizon, and navigation. Flat Earth Theory challenges widely accepted scientific evidence, including satellite imagery and physics principles, leading to diverse discussions on science, belief, and perception. While historically significant in various cultures, the modern resurgence of Flat Earth Theory is typically linked to conspiracy theories and social media movements.
