There is a whole spectrum of conspiracy theories, some harmless or thoughtful, others based on a wholesale rejection of science and still others promoted for financial or political gain. Thinking the Earth is flat is generally considered a more concerning conspiracy theory because it feeds into paranoia and leads people to an unhealthy skepticism of all science and credible authorities, said Blevins.
“They’re not just primed to believe the Earth is flat, they’re primed to believe you can’t trust science, academics, the media or government,” he said. “And it might also lead you to see other extremist views as plausible.”
In general, most flat-earthers believe Earth is a flat, hockey puck-like object covered by a dome, sometimes called a firmament, with walls of ice around the edges of the dome. They believe they can prove this because the seas appear level, not curved, and say it is not possible to view the curvature of the horizon from airplanes.
