There's a small, vocal group of people who wholeheartedly believe that the Earth is flat. Any satellite photos of our orb-shaped planet are deemed a "round Earth conspiracy" orchestrated by the government, and the fact that the horizon doesn't appear to curve is used as evidence of their claims. The strangest part? We've known the Earth was round for 2,000 years, and we didn't need satellites to find out.Because the World Is RoundTo be fair, the Greeks assumed the Earth was round before they had very good evidence. The philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras is credited as the first to propose a spherical Earth back in 500 B.C., though he did so on aesthetic grounds: He believed the sphere was the most perfect shape. (We should note that Pythagoras was probably just the first Western thinker to propose this — it's reasonable to think that seafaring societies like those of the ancient Polynesians likely had some idea before that). A century later, the philosopher Plato suggested the same thing, which boosted the idea's popularity.
