Leah-Nani Alconcel answered on 12 Jun 2018:
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.

The earth is flat, and when you send satellites up into space they just hang there cos there’s no gravity in space. 🙂 (Not)
Andrew commented on 13 Jun 2018:
Here’s a video from one of our satellites that was launch hot (the camera’s on); the Earth is clearly round
