"There are many Flat Earth Societies all around the globe"
It was removed for no reason.

Orion is about half in the Northern Hemisphere and half in the Southern. For example, Betelgeuse (Alpha Orionis) is at Declination +7° 24′ 26″. Correcting this requires too much rewriting so I am leaving that to others; just pointing it out. 67.167.254.120 ( talk) 08:19, 28 October 2022 (UTC)Larry Siegel
The vehemence is tangible… I get that flat earth is bullshit, but Wikipedia has a neutral voice policy for a reason. Please uphold it. 96.232.183.53 ( talk) 00:56, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
Should there not be a section with a bunch of different proofs that the earth is a rough sphere and/or a bunch of flat earth "arguments" that are clearly disproved? 146.231.177.14 ( talk) 10:05, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
Apologize in advance for my lack of education, and please correct me if i am wrong, but it seems to me the most effective way to counter the anti-white propaganda of flat earth theory, is to simply duplicate history and describe the experiment that Galileo used to prove the curvature of the earth.
As I understand it, Galileo's experiment was to compare the length of two columns of equal height, set in the earth, miles apart from each other, at a specific time of day. The length of the shadows were significantly different, and Galileo's conclusion was that the only explanation for this differnce in shadow length was that the earth was curved, as a flat earth would have resulted in both shadows being the same length.
This is an easy thought experiment intelligent people can imagine, and would go a long way towards illustrating the intellectual deficiencies of those who are incapable of imagining this simple proof.
The Article would be improved if it mentioned Galileo and his proof. 2603:8081:3A00:414A:81A5:363F:2B7:1512 ( talk) 14:27, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
