Model of the Flat Earth

The Flat Earth model posits that the Earth is a flat, disc-shaped surface rather than a sphere. Proponents believe that the world’s observable features—such as the horizon's flatness, the absence of detectable curvature, and certain interpretations of geographical and celestial phenomena—support this view. They often suggest that Earth is surrounded by a boundary or edge, sometimes incorporating conspiracy theories about cover-ups by governments or scientific institutions. This model contrasts with the well-established scientific consensus that Earth is an oblate spheroid, as confirmed by satellite imagery, physics, and extensive global measurements.
