I've recently become aware of a growing group of people who believe that the ultimate wool has been pulled over all of our eyes and that the earth is not actually a spinning globe, but completely flat. This is not a joke, but an actual belief that some people hold. Some of their reasons for their belief are intriguing, to say the least. Despite the overwhelming belief that the world is in fact, a sphere, flat-earthers are growing in number and are holding fast to their beliefs, convinced that a massive conspiracy is in play against all of humanity.
Here's a neutral video that explains the flat earth theory without bias:
Here's a longer documentary on the subject:
And before you ask, no, the flat earth map is not the same as the flat rectangular map we are used to. Flat-earthers believe Antarctica is actually the outer rim of the flat earth, and that the International Antarctic Treaty, which was signed in 1957, is in place to prevent commoners from getting access to the unrestricted exploration of Antarctica and the "outer rim." Here's a picture of one of the more accepted earth map among flat-earthers.

There are a TON of videos on YouTube arguing both sides of the Flat Earth Debate. Regardless of what you believe, it's pretty interesting to see how far some people take these arguments. Just about every question that "globe-earthers" would have for flat-earthers does have an attempted answer, but that doesn't mean they would win in a formal debate.
So, have you ever heard of the flat earth concept? Have you ever considered it?
For the record, my worldview on this issue is "well-rounded."
