Map of the globe stretched and flattened into a circular plane (azimuthal projection), with two movable arms to calculate time in places around the world Joshua Sokol of The New York Times writes that no flat map of a round world can be perfectly accurate. The act of converting a three-dimensional object into something two-dimensional inevitably introduces distortions. a b "Series No. 2 The Flat Earth Society of Canada". Leo C. Ferrari Fonds.

Out of the necessity to explain photographs of the earth in space, the observations of astronauts, why all major institutions such as governments, media outlets, schools, scientists, and airlines assert that the world is a sphere, etc., modern flat-Earthers very commonly embrace some form of conspiracy theory. As Darryle Marble, a speaker at the Flat Earth Conference, told his audience, after watching hours of YouTube conspiracy videos on Sandy Hook, 9/11, false flags, the Bilderbergers, Rothschilds, Illuminati – "Each thing started to make that much more sense. I was already primed to receive the whole flat-Earth idea, because we had already come to the conclusion that we were being deceived about so many other things. So of course they would lie to us about this." [21] Brazil, Rachel (14 July 2020). "Fighting flat-Earth theory". Physics World . Retrieved 6 February 2021.

Gleason’s map is a depiction of the earth as a globe in a north-polar azimuthal equidistant projection and is not proof that the earth is flat.Jason Steffen, an assistant professor in physics and astronomy at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, told Reuters that the south pole “is the entire edge of the map, and the ring is Antarctica.”

Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World. Princeton, NJ: Princeton Univ. Press. [ ISBNmissing] Posidonius (or Poseidonius) of Apameia (c. 135–51 BCE), was a Greek Stoic philosopher [10] who traveled throughout the Roman world and beyond and was a celebrated polymath throughout the Greco-Roman world, like Aristotle and Eratosthenes. His work "about the ocean and the adjacent areas" was a general geographical discussion, showing how all the forces had an effect on each other and applied also to human life. He measured the Earth's circumference by reference to the position of the star Canopus. His measure of 240,000 stadia translates to 24,000 miles (39,000km), close to the actual circumference of 24,901 miles (40,074km). [11]Eugenie Scott called the group an example of "extreme Biblical-literalist theology: The earth is flat because the Bible says it is flat, regardless of what science tells us". [42]

The third faction believes that knowledge is personal and experiential. They are dismissive of knowledge that comes from authoritative sources, especially book knowledge. This faction would like to find out themselves whether the Earth truly is round or flat. Because they distrust book knowledge and mathematical proof, this faction believes that the Earth is flat because their observations and lived experiences make it appear as if we live on a flat surface. This faction frames flat-Earth arguments as experimental. [89] In 2004, Daniel Shenton (not related to Samuel) [46] resurrected the Flat Earth Society, basing it around a web-based discussion forum.
