Question - if the flat earth theory is correct, and all space travel has been faked (it's part of the theory), how does the GPS that guides our Mavics work? Where are the so called "satellites", if not in orbit? Why are satellite TV dishes aimed at the sky. I'm so (not) confused.
It's at the more extreme end but the flat earth conspiracy theory is part of a more general anti-science movement that encourages people to believe what they see and to distrust what they're told by the government and scientists. In day to day life it's difficult to see the curvature of the earth and indeed it does look flat so when there's others proclaiming it is flat, the idea has managed to gain traction.
