Flat Earth Society

What if the Earth is not a globe as we know it?

This is one of the questions that the Flat Earth Society is challenging to the masses. And I'm not joking, there is really a Flat Earth Society. From wikipedia:

"The Flat Earth Society (also known as the International Flat Earth Society or International Flat Earth Research Society) is an organization that furthers the theory the Earth is flat rather than a sphere. The modern organization was founded by Englishman Samuel Shenton in 1956, and later led by Charles K. Johnson, who based the organization out of his home in Lancaster, California. After Johnson’s death in 2001, the Flat Earth Society weakened and decentralized, but there are recent attempts to create a more unified and global movement."

"The modern Flat Earth Society describes the Earth as being a disc with a diameter of about 40,000 km (24,900 miles) and a circumference of 126,000 km (78,225 miles)[citation needed]. The sun and moon are both discs about 52 km (32 miles) in diameter (although some sources say that the sun and moon are spheres)and are about 4,800 km (3,000 miles) above the Earth, and the stars about 160 km (100 miles) above the sun and moon..."
