One of the main flat-earther theories in the world today is that the Earth is a disk with the Arctic Circle at its centre and the 150-foot-high ice wall called Antarctica at its centre. They further say that NASA employees protect Antarctica to prevent people from crossing this ice wall and falling to the other side of the Earth’s crust.
They explain the Earth’s day-night cycle: The Sun and the Sun are two spheres 32 miles apart and orbiting 3000 miles above the Earth’s disk. These flat-earthers believe that the stars are located 3100 miles above the earth and that they are like spotlights that illuminate the various parts of the earth throughout the 24 feet of the day. They also believe that there is another invisible moon in the sky that covers the moon during lunar eclipses.
And, they say, Earth’s gravity is an illusion. Objects do not accelerate downward under gravity, and the Earth’s disk is driven upward by a mysterious force called dark energy, with an acceleration of 9.8 meters per square second (9.8m/s2). Among today’s flat-earthers, there is debate as to whether or not Einstein’s theory of relativity explains the constant acceleration of the Earth’s disk beyond the speed of light.
Also: flat-earthers believe that the photographs depicting the spherical shape of the Earth are photoshopped. And when pilots fly circular paths above the Earth’s disk, they are equipped with GPS devices to make them feel like they are flying around a globe.
The reason why world governments hide the true shape of the Earth is not established, but some believe it may be a matter of economics. “In short, because it is far less expensive to fake a space program than to actually run it, governments favour NASA and other space agencies to do so.” It is further explained on flat-earther websites.
