Episode description
We know the Earth isn't flat, but what evidence do we have supporting this? If people think the Earth is flat, how do they explain things like the Sun and Moon and ships getting smaller as they sail away? How long have humans know the Earth isn't flat? And what does it mean to "invoke the conspiracy?" It's never too late to learn about the world around you.
This is part of the Quackery unit.
