Lately in the media you may have recently heard about yet another celebrity claiming the Earth is flat. The theory claims that the planet we live on isn’t actually flat and the pictures from space are just hoaxes. Shaquille O’Neal is one of the many celebrities to come out in recent months claiming that Earth is flat. O'Neal said to a reporter, “It’s true. The Earth is flat. The Earth is flat. Yeah, it is. Yes, it is. Listen, there are three ways to manipulate the mind — what you read, what you see and what you hear. In school, first thing they teach us is, ‘Oh, Columbus discovered America,’ but when he got there, there were some fair-skinned people with the long hair smoking on the peace pipes. So, what does that tell you? Columbus didn’t

They believe that Flat Earth accelerates upwards at 32 feet per second squared and that “gravity” is actually Earth going up so fast that is catches up with us when we jump. Flat-earthers believe photos of the globe are photoshopped; GPS devices are rigged to make airplane pilots think they are flying in straight lines around a sphere when they are actually flying in circles above a disc. The motive for world governments' concealment of the true shape of the Earth has not been ascertained, but flat-earthers believe it is probably financial. "In a nutshell, it would logically cost much less to fake a space program than to actually have one, so those in on the Conspiracy profit from the funding NASA and other space agencies receive from the …show more content…
Anyone who thinks the Earth is flat is ignorant and obviously didn’t pay attention in science class. It have been proven that the world is round and not flat. We used to think the Earth is flat and that is because we didn’t have anything to tell us it wasn’t. People assumed it was because when you are on Earth it seems flat. That is one reason people still think it is flat, but that is very childish in my opinion. We have satellite imagery that shows the Earth is a sphere and not a disk. We are not the center of the universe, we are one of the few planets that supports life, but that doesn’t mean we are in the center. The Earth has a core, it has a very hot core of magma. If the Earth was flat, we wouldn’t have a core to our planet. The deepest place on Earth is the Mariana Trench which is over six miles deep. That means this disk we are flying around on is more like a cylinder than a disk. So with this theory we are more like a soda can, not a dinner plate, there’s a theory for people to consider. The Earth is a cylinder, not a sphere, and not a disk. Now you may be thinking that I am crazy for suggesting this, but this is just like how people say the Earth is flat to me. It isn’t and it ridiculous to suggest
