      Yes, and I think it’s generous to call it a “theory”. I would call that a “fallacy”, a “lie” or just plain wrong.

      People assumed this a long time ago, luckily we have pictures from space now to show the beautiful curvature of the Earth.

      What Leah-Nani said. I couldn’t put it in such a nice way.

      This is a video taken by one of our spacecraft shortly after launch; The Earth look pretty round from up there.
