Question

you can please

Answer 1

Yes and yes. It seems incredible to us but this primitive belief still lingers on, when the evidence for a spherical earth is overwhelming:

(a) photographs of the earth from space

(b) astronauts from Gagarin onwards who have completed one or more orbits of the earth and seen it with their own eyes

(c) mariners who circumnavigated the globe, from Ferdinand Magellan onwards who did not fall of the edge of the world when they did this

(d) the shape of the earth's shadow as it crosses the face of the moon during a lunar eclipse

(e) the curvature of the horizon evident when you are at sea and see another ship approaching or disappearing from view

(f) the daily practice of international air travel and Steve Fossett's 2002 circumnavigation by balloon and 2005 circumnavigation by plane without stopping for refuelling.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE IDEA OF A SPHERICAL EARTH

Eratosthenes determined that the earth was a sphere and calculated its rough circumference by the third century B.C.

Aristotle provided observational evidence for the spherical Earth, noting that travelers going south see southern constellations rise higher above the horizon. This is only possible if their horizon is at an angle to northerners' horizon. Thus the Earth's surface cannot be flat.

By the time of Pliny the Elder in the 1st century, the Earth's spherical shape was generally acknowledged among the learned in the western world.

The evidence is, as I say, overwhelming.

THE FLAT EARTH SOCIETY

The last known group of Flat Earth proponents, the Flat Earth Society, kept the concept alive and at one time claimed a few thousand followers.

The society declined in the 1990s following a fire at its headquarters in California and the death of its last president, Charles K. Johnson, in 2001.

In 2004, a new Flat Earth Society (not directly connected to Charles K. Johnson's) was founded and currently maintains the Flat Earth Society website and forum.

Answer 2

Yes and yes, but I'd like to think that they only meet up to talk about the Earth being flat because it's just another excuse to drink some beer. Maybe they keep on because it's a way to inflame people and start a great conversation!! Either way...yup..those "believers" are out there!
