A Conference that is as ridiculous as you think

Although the Greek philosopher Aristotle is credited with floating the “Earth is round”, last week the Flat Earth International Conference took place in Raleigh, North Carolina. About 400 people are thought to have attended, flying from around the world to take part. Attendees of the 2017 Flat Earth International Conference discussed the science community's widespread "deception" as well as their own loneliness. The event’s website lays out the basis for their skepticism about earth’s spherical distinction. Hundreds gathered at the Embassy Suites event hall, where a BBC News film crew discovered dozens of attendees willing to articulate the ongoing “deception” forced upon them by the scientific community. Though there are varying models within the flat earth community, the most commonly depicted model of our earth is that of a circular disk with Antarctica serving as an ice wall barrier.” The FEIC argues that NASA’s photos proving the Earth’s round shape are either Computer Generated Images (CGI), artistic renderings, taken with a fisheye/wide-angled lens or just outright photoshopped. While Earth is obviously not flat, in recent times we’ve had basketball players and musicians speak out in favor of this theory.
