Alternative Theories & Conspiracies

Most people believe the Earth is a globe because they were told it is, not because they personally tested it. Flat-earth supporters argue that when you actually observe the world directly, the surface appears flat, level, and consistent with a plane.

1. Bedford Level Experiment In 1838, Samuel Rowbotham observed a boat traveling along a 6-mile canal in England. According to globe calculations, part of the boat should have disappeared behind Earth’s curvature — but it remained visible the entire distance. Bedford Level experiment - Wikipedia

2. Long-Distance Photography Photographers have captured distant skylines and mountains from distances that globe curvature formulas suggest should be hidden. Example: Chicago skyline seen across Lake Michigan. Fighting flat-Earth theory – Physics World

3. The Horizon Always Looks Flat Whether you’re at sea level, in a plane, or on a mountain, the horizon typically appears straight and at eye level, not curved.

4. Water Finds Level A common argument is simple: water naturally settles flat. Oceans, lakes, and canals all appear level across long distances.
