How as an individual can I know if the Earth is a sphere or a flat disc? What experiment can I do that doesn't involve trusting information from a 3rd party that would prove what the geometry really is?

Members of the Flat Earth Society claim to believe the Earth is flat. Walking around on the planet's surface, it looks and feels flat, so they deem all evidence to the contrary, such as satellite photos of Earth as a sphere, to be fabrications of a "round Earth conspiracy" orchestrated by NASA and other government agencies.

The belief that the Earth is flat has been described as the ultimate conspiracy theory. According to the Flat Earth Society's leadership, its ranks have grown by 200 people (mostly Americans and Britons) per year since 2009. Judging by the exhaustive effort flat-earthers have invested in fleshing out the theory on their website, as well as the staunch defenses of their views they offer in media interviews and on Twitter, it would seem that these people genuinely believe the Earth is flat.

Fuck off, The Flat Earth Society is a controlled opposition group.

That's quite an interesting statement.

Does that mean that FE people who are not part of the FE Society are part of an uncontrolled opposition group?

Or does it mean that they are controlled by some other opposition group?

Or does it simply mean that are an uncontrolled batch of FE people?

What in the world does it mean?

Here are a bunch of unorganized, barely congruous, non-group of FE people, who use FE Society FE information like it is the truth, yet claim that the FE Society is really essentially a propaganda group of BSers.

No wonder this thread has received so much attention. Most of us have thought that you were people who were a bit of a group, and that you understood what you were doing a little. Here you are simply a few free radicals who happened to see the word "flat earth" in a thread, and happen to be throwing some mud at a wall and hoping it will stick.

And what's worse, some of you are part of the FE Society, while others condemn it as an controlled opposition group while using info and tactics of the exact Society you are condemning, and while not uniting, at all, in a group of your own. Or do you have a splinter group going?

You are funny. There's barely enough of you altogether to spit at, and you are already fractured into groups and individuals not part of any group. You might not have the stupidest religion. But it probably is the whackiest.

Astronomers suggest that the solar system is near the outer edge of the Milky Way galaxy. You FE jokers are such a fringe group/non-group that you are way off in intergalactic space somewhere.

Cool
