25 curious and fascinating Flat Earth Society beliefs
Earth is Flat: The primary belief is that Terra is a flat, disc-shaped object rather than a spherical one;
Flat Earth Model: Some members may adhere to specific flat Earth models, such as the Azimuthal Equidistant Projection or others, to explain the layout of continents and oceans on the flat Blue Planet;
Ice Wall: Many Flat Earthers claim that Antarctica is not a continent but a giant ice wall encircling the flat Gaia, preventing water from falling off the edge;
Gravity is a Hoax: Some members reject the concept of gravity as presented in mainstream science, proposing alternative explanations such as the Earth constantly accelerating upward;
NASA Conspiracy: Flat Earthers often believe that space agencies, especially NASA, are engaged in a massive conspiracy to conceal the true nature of our planet;
Photos and Videos are Faked: Members may argue that all space-related images and videos, including satellite imagery, are CGI or otherwise manipulated to maintain the illusion of a spherical Earth;
Flight Paths and Navigation: Flat Earthers may question certain flight paths and navigation routes, arguing that they make more sense on a flat Earth model;
Sun and Moon Movements: Belief that the Sun and the Moon move in a circular motion above the plane planet, creating day and night cycles;
No Curvature: Flat Earthers often claim that the lack of observable curvature, especially over long distances, supports the idea of a flat Terra;
Flat Horizon: The belief that the horizon always appears flat and the absence of a noticeable curve backs up the notion of a plane Gaia;
No Outer Space: Some members reject the existence of outer space altogether, asserting that what is perceived as space is simply a dome or firmament above the plane Earth;
Water's Level Surface: The idea that bodies of water always find a level surface, and this is inconsistent with the curvature expected on a spherical Earth;
No Gravity, but Density and Buoyancy: Some Flat Earthers reject the concept of gravity and instead argue that objects fall or rise due to differences in density and buoyancy;
Sun's Size and Distance: Belief that the Sun is much smaller and closer to the Earth than mainstream science suggests;
No Space Travel: Flat Earthers may contend that space travel is impossible and that all claims of human space exploration are fabricated;
Flight Altitudes: Questioning the altitude of high-flying airplanes and claiming that they should encounter different conditions if the Earth were a sphere;
Flat Earth Maps: Advocacy for the use of alternative maps that depict a flat Earth, often featuring a circular or diamond shape;
Eratosthenes Experiment Critique: Criticism of the ancient Eratosthenes experiment, which measured the Earth's circumference, arguing that it is flawed or misinterpreted;
Perceived Lack of Curvature in Photos: Pointing to photographs taken from high altitudes and claiming that the lack of a visible curve is evidence of a flat Earth;
Lunar Eclipse Explanation: Offering alternative explanations for lunar eclipses, suggesting that they are caused by unknown celestial bodies rather than the Earth's shadow;
No Coriolis Effect: Denying the Coriolis effect and claiming that the lack of observable deflection in moving objects disproves the Earth's rotation;
No Edge to Fall Off: Flat Earthers often argue that there is no edge to the flat Earth and that the concept of falling off the edge is a misrepresentation;
Selective Acceptance of Science: Members may selectively accept or reject scientific principles based on whether they align with flat Earth beliefs;
