Belief in these theories, especially within online communities, may also offer a sense a belonging to those individuals who have already been alienated. There is also some evidence that states people turn to conspiracy theories when they feel they are powerless or have a lack of sociopolitical control. Some research suggests that individuals who are already ostracized from society are more likely to buy into conspiracy theories. There have been numerous attempts at trying to figure out why people believe in conspiracy theories. The evidence that the earth is not flat is substantial and you can tune into NASA’s 24/7 broadcast of the earth from the ISS, you can view the earth from footage of the moon missions and you can believe that gravity is real by simply dropping an object and watching as it falls to the ground. You must believe the government is lying about the shape of the earth, that the government has created fake agencies to fool the general public, gravity is not real, and the earth is always moving 9.8 meters per second upwards through space. The evidence for this theory is very hard to find because one must accept numerous bizarre beliefs that make up the foundation of the flat earth theory. I have had conversations with flat earthers and they have justified the flat earth theory by stating that if the government can keep this big secret under their control they can also control the people of the world. The flat earthers believe that everything is a government conspiracy. This belief is extraordinary because there is a large body of scientific evidence that shows the earth is not flat and this belief requires an incredibly high level of cognitive dissonance to accept that the flat earth theory is true. The flat earth theory is becoming more popular among celebrities, one such celebrity is an NBA star named Kyrie Irving or rapper B.o.B.
Flat earthers report that in order to keep the truth hidden from the public the government creates fake agencies, like NASA ,to provide “evidence” and to keep the general public fooled 1. They believe that the world wide scientific community and the Government doesn’t want the public to know that the earth is flat and is protected by a barrier called “the firmament” 1. This belief is extraordinary because there is a large body of scientific evidence that shows the earth is not flat and this belief requires an incredibly high level of cognitive dissonance to accept that the flat earth theory is true.Flat earthers believe that the earth is not a sphere but that it is actually flat.
