It is thought that the persistence of these beliefs may be due, in part, to the spread of misinformation on social media platforms. Despite this, some people continue to believe that the Earth is flat. This includes observations made from space. The idea that the Earth is a sphere dates back to ancient Greece, and since then, scientists have gathered a vast amount of evidence to support this idea. One such meme suggests that it is "scientifically impossiball" for the island of Manhattan to remain suspended "upside down" without falling into space. Recently, some proponents of this belief have questioned why people and cities don't fall off the "bottom" of the Earth.ĭespite this, mainstream media outlets such as USA Today continue to address and debunk these baseless claims, which are often shared through social media platforms in the form of poorly spelled memes. Not considering the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, some people still believe in the idea that the Earth is flat.
