    Discworld is the name given to cover Flat Earth theories - I believe they prefer Parallaxian themselves (those who profess it).

    This isnae my first flat Earth rodeo.

    Although, you do know that the notion of Parallaxian theory was advanced by a masonic writer originally.

    I realise you don't change folk's minds easily - I'm just interested in why people are so keen to believe it and what the motivation is for believing in a flat Earth.

    I don't get the assumption someone lied about the shape of the Earth as a means of control.

    All conspiracies require a notion of control or power to even be viable - lying about the shape of the Earth just doesn't make sense to me..

    If it isn't a ball (a spheroid with one face), it would have an edge - doesn't need to be flat, a dodecahedron while almost a sphere, would have loads of edges. Why has no-one seen or recorded an edge anywhere?

    You said you didn't think it was a globe but you didn't believe it was flat either.

    For there to be no gravity, it would have to be flat or balls wouldn't bounce - either that or some sort of massive magnetic type force (some might call that gravity) would have to be pulling you towards a point.

    Tesla didn't believe the Earth was flat. Full stop.

    Tesla's theory of wireless transmission of energy requires the Earth to be a globe.

    He designed towers to circumvent the Earth's curves to bounce signals in the exact same way that satellites work (the ones that don't exist).

    One conspiracy theory I can get 100% behind is the Disney killed Lindsay Lohan's sister one. Smoking guns aplenty.
