Thousands of years ago, the ancient Greeks actually figured out that the world was spherical, and in the time since then, numerous proofs of this very obvious fact have been in evidence. However, there has always been a small but somewhat vocal minority who, for reasons having to do with religious beliefs, conspiratorial mindsets, or plain old contrariness, have argued passionately that the world is flat. For whatever reason, this small minority has been growing in the last few years, and flat earthers now have their own conventions all over the world and produce videos with millions of views. On this episode of 13 O’Clock, Tom and Jenny will dive into the wild world of modern flat earthers, discussing their arguments and their reasons for believing as they do.
