More disturbingly, Weill documents the recent development of an overlap between the F.E. Others do not believe in outer space but that the Sun and stars are on a dome high up in the sky, harkening back to medieval beliefs. Or flat and shaped like a great big New Hampshire. belief a planet could be both flat and round. By this, one assumes that “round” means spherical because in F.E. What about other planets? Are they flat too? One individual Weill quotes replied to a question from Elon Musk as to whether Mars is flat by saying “no” because “Mars has been observed to be round” (p. Other flat Earth believers say that there is no edge, and that Earth is flat and goes on forever.

Well, some say, there is an edge-it’s the Antarctic which forms an ice wall around the flat Earth to keep the oceans from spilling over the edge. movement contains a great diversity of flat Earth beliefs. An important point of the book is that the F.E. movement was just a bunch of people who thought that Earth was flat and left it at that. Before reading this book, I had thought that the F.E. That movement is more bizarre and interesting than I, at least, had any idea. Investigative journalist Kelly Weill’s important book details her investigation of the flat Earth movement, the people involved, and their psychology.

It is possible to steal elections, eat children and engage in disgusting sexual activity.
It is possible to spray chemicals into the air from aircraft. Why? The other conspiracy beliefs have at their core a tiny, tiny bit of physical plausibility.

In 2022 it’s hard to decide which is the craziest conspiracy theory people believe.
