Despite centuries of evidence, the flat Earth theory persists, dating back to Samuel Rowbotham in the 19th century, who proposed the idea of a flat disc-shaped Earth. William Carpenter later spread the theory further. Today, flat Earth believers claim that staged images and conspiracies fuel the belief in a spherical Earth.
Astrophysicist Paul M. Sutter suggests this belief stems from a “lack of trust” in experts. He wrote for Space.com, “By claiming Earth is flat, people are really expressing a deep distrust of scientists and science itself.”

Professor Brian Cox, a renowned scientist, has also debunked the flat Earth theory. “There is no basis for thinking the world is flat. The Greeks measured the Earth’s radius centuries ago. It’s inconceivable why anyone would believe otherwise.”
He added, “The simple fact is that we’ve taken pictures of it. It’s the most nonsensical suggestion a thinking person could make. It’s drivel.”
