= Flat Earth
{wiki=Flat_Earth}
The term "Flat Earth" refers to the belief that the Earth is flat, rather than an oblate spheroid, which is the scientifically established understanding. This belief has historical roots dating back to ancient civilizations, but it has been largely discredited by centuries of scientific evidence, including observations from space, satellite imagery, and the principles of physics. Advocates of the Flat Earth theory often assert that mainstream science is misleading and that they have evidence to support their claims.
