Twenty-two images of the Earth taken from space by the DSCOVR satellite. Projections of the sphere like the azimuthal equidistant projection have been co-opted as images of the flat Earth model depicting Antarctica as an ice wall surrounding a disk-shaped Earth.

This is our first try of a new video format where we look at controversies that, well, really shouldn't be controversial. That was Alfred Russell Wallace, one of the two co-developers of the theory of evolution. But when it comes to the idea that the Earth is flat, centuries of:thu accumulating evidence don't make much of a difference-its adherents have centuries of history of ignoring it, along with at least one not-nearly-as-famous-as-it-should-be instance of threatening a prominent scientist along the way. But it's truly bizarre to see one from the latter camp have a sudden surge in popularity and attention millennia after we knew it was wrong. There's no shortage of strange beliefs out there, and not all of them involve having a firm grip on reality. Or people just really like plumbing the depths of absurdity.
