To help squelch the growing flat Earth movement, Life Noggin created a video that explains why we can be sure that the Earth is, indeed, round. They’re the reference point, the water mark of believing stuff that is, to be polite, a little out there. Claim: Photo of solar eclipse taken at the South Pole proves Earth is flat Our rating: False Scientists explained that a variety of factors including the location and time the photographs were taken account for why the sun appears to be moving in a straight line. Many flat-earthers defend their beliefs by claiming that scientists, politicians, and religious leaders have perpetrated the “myth” of the round Earth for centuries to justify their own agendas. Flat Earthers can get a bad rap as the cliche conspiracy theorists.
Gravity is caused by the Earth slowly accelerating upward, so when we drop something, the planet rises up to meet it. Subscribers to the theory also believe the Earth is encased by a dome and that stars are actually just holes poked into its roof. The basic theory states that Earth is flat like a disk, and the sun orbits around the its outer ring in the center of the flat Earth is the Arctic Ocean, which remains ice cold because it’s farthest from the sun’s orbit. In fact, Google searches for the term “flat Earth” have gone up 800 percent since 2014.
The flat Earth movement may be growing in popularity due to the countless videos about the conspiracy popping up on YouTube.
