Flat Earth Theory
Flat Earth Theory posits that the Earth is flat, rather than a sphere, as widely accepted in modern science. Proponents argue that the curvature of the Earth is not visible and claim that photographic evidence from space is manipulated. They often believe that the scientific community suppresses information supporting their views. This theory challenges established concepts in physics, astronomy, and geology, which provide overwhelming evidence for a spherical Earth, such as satellite imagery, gravity, and the way ships disappear over the horizon. Despite its lack of scientific support, Flat Earth Theory has gained a following in some circles.

Flat Earth theory posits that the Earth is not a spherical planet but rather a flat, disc-shaped object. Proponents believe that evidence supporting a spherical Earth, such as satellite images and gravity, is either fabricated or misinterpreted. They often claim that the horizon appears flat and that water's surface is level, which they interpret as support for their views. However, mainstream science, based on extensive evidence from multiple fields such as astronomy, physics, and geology, firmly supports the understanding that the Earth is an oblate spheroid, shaped largely by gravity and its rotation.
