Why do people still believe in the world that the Earth is a plane?

Although there is a lot of evidence available, there are still people who believe in it. Why are they "stubborn" ?

You know, there are people in this world who still believe in the flat Earth doctrine - that is, our entire planet is actually a disk, not "sloppy" in the universe. Even the theory holds that the Earth is the center of the universe, and the Sun and the stars will move around us.

How true is everyone knows, when many scientific theories have been established to prove that this world cannot be a plane.

There are still people in this world who believe in flat Earth doctrine.

We see ships leaving port disappearing in the horizon. We see a wider horizon when we stand high above and look down. All current physical theories are built on a spherical Earth base and revolve around the Sun. And most importantly, pictures of Earth from outer space have shown that.

But before the indisputable evidence, there are still people who believe in flat Earth doctrine. Stuart Clark - a famous astronomer answered this in an interview with Business Insider.

Clark said people love the story, life, the world, about what makes sense to them. Even when science is born, its purpose is just to test these stories, with the hope that they are true.

But the reality is that science has overthrown almost everything, bringing us into a world of greater, more accurate understanding of the universe around us. And this is when things get complicated, because people start to deny reality .

The spherical earth is undeniable.

They do not want to believe in science. They just want to follow what they know , making themselves more comfortable and happy. That is why before it was almost cremated because it was said that the Sun was the center of the universe, and then had to live the last days of life under the supervision of the Roman Inquisition.

According to Clark, the flat Earth theory is one of them. In addition, he also believes that it is possible that these people want to test some funny effect, try to see how far they will lead "believers" .

If you want to prove to someone who believes in "Flat Earth" theory is wrong, just give them some problems as follows:

  1. The earth is flat, ie we have an end point! Does that mean all will fall out into space if they reach that end?
  2. If falling, how to accumulate enough gravity to make everything fall? What creates gravity? If the Earth is spherical, the mass at the center of the Earth is what creates it. If it is a plane, it will be very uncertain, and forced to move.
