The flat Earth conspiracies are probably the best indicator of stupidity to exist in modern times. Ancient Greeks were able to figure out that our planet is not flat more than 2,000 years ago and made fairly accurate estimates of the Earth's diameter and circumference. Ptolemy estimated that only one-fourth of the planet was known to the Greeks, which also proved to be a pretty accurate estimate. Anybody who has any doubts about the shape of the Earth should be able to prove to themselves that it is not flat armed with only a good pair of binoculars or a telescope. Ships gradually disappear or appear over the horizon because of the curvature of the surface.

For the Earth to be flat, millions of people would have to be part of the conspiracy to keep the truth from us. There are so many technologies that are affected by the planet's curvature such as radio, GPS, and land surveying, that it should be obvious to any human being that we live on a sphere.

Perfect!!!


Plus, humans have known what eclipses  are for a very long time.  A lunar eclipse should be proof enough, you would think.  Now, if I looked up at the moon during an eclipse and saw this I might join the Flat Earth Society:
