I wonder why it even matters in the first place whether Earth is flat or not. It has no real meaning to our life experience. It won't make it better nor worse.
After all, drawing any definite conclusion regarding Earth's shape won't be transferrable onto our planets. The Universe is vast, and there is no definition as to what kind of shape a planet has.

Yeah I have pondered such a question myself, and I'm on the verge of writing some musings about it, but on the whole I think it does matter, because unchallenged, then stupidity like this worms its way into popular culture. Before you know it, people are insisting that flat earth theory should be taught alongside
sanitythe globe theory.Therefore we need to nip this thing in the bud asap.

Haha, well spoken. You know, this Flat-question has been a topic since eons. One century they tied themselves down to "flat", then again to "spherical". It's similar to studies about cigarettes. For quite some time cigarettes were considered as healthy, proven by scientific studies. Then suddenly new studies came out saying they are toxic. From my perspective all a reflection of the Human mind's dithery nature. ;)
The truth matters.
That’s like saying you’d rather not know if your gf is cheating on you. Lol
