Flat-Earthers Explain Why We Don’t Fall Off The Edge Of Earth

The notion of a flat Earth refers to the idea that the inhabited surface of our planet is, in fact, flat, instead of being spherical or curved. Thousands of years ago, some authors and philosophers argued that the Earth was flat and others that it was cylindrical.

Among the Greek philosophers, Thales of Miletus […]
