"The Flat Earth Society" is a group of people who believe that the Earth is actually flat, rather than spherical as most scientific evidence suggests.
According to "The Flat Earth Society," day and night occur due to the sun and moon orbiting above the flat Earth, casting a spotlight-like illumination on different parts of the surface.
"The Flat Earth Society" primarily uses observations and experiments that seem to contradict the idea of a spherical Earth, such as the appearance of a "flat horizon" and the lack of observable curvature on large bodies of water.
Most scientists and the general public reject the beliefs of "The Flat Earth Society" due to overwhelming evidence that supports a spherical Earth, including satellite imagery and measurements from space exploration. Many view the beliefs as pseudoscientific and lacking in credibility.
There are various reasons why people may still believe in a flat Earth, including a distrust of authority and a desire to question established beliefs. Some may also find comfort in the idea of a simple, flat world rather than a complex, constantly moving spherical one.
