One of the classic and apparently still-popular conspiracy theories is that of a flat Earth. Notwithstanding the grandiose elements of myth and legend that are so often highlighted by the existence of a planar disc-shaped world (stories ranging from medieval sea tales to Tolkien's epic The Silmarillion), the modern proponents of a flat earth have quite a number of physical phenomena to account for.A "convincing" flat earth model would necessitate a complete restructuring of how we view the universe, involving everything from a 32-mile-diameter sun to a universe-wide upwards acceleration at 9.8 m/s/s to a Wall of Ice [sic] guarded by the Government in an attempt to keep its Conspiracy under wraps.
More (mis?)information than you could ever want on the topic can be found at The Flat Earth Society Forum.
But who's to say the Earth isn't really shaped like a 21-dimension pentagonal orthoborotunda?
