A couple of popular science experts have made the same point to prove that the Flat Earth theory is a bunch of malarkey.

It's 2025 - if you're sat there still believing that the Earth is flat after the overwhelming and substantial evidence provided by numerous sources, I honestly don't know what else to tell you.

Science, logic, and everything that we know about the universe points towards the fact that it is a sphere, yet some geniuses will claim that it's all a conspiracy. Sigh.

To be fair though, not much is more satisfying than seeing a Flat Earther being proved wrong.

As well as the number of photos and videos taken from the International Space Station, rovers on the Moon, satellites travelling from Earth, and many other sources, celebrity experts have called out those that are refusing to believe in a round blue planet.

The likes of Professor Brian Cox and Neil deGrasse Tyson haven't been shy in hiding their thoughts behind Flat Earth beliefs.

In the past, both scientists have pointed towards the visual evidence we have.

Cox stated: "There is absolutely no basis at all for thinking the world is flat. Nobody in human history, as far as I know, has thought the world was flat," he said.

"The Greeks measured the radius of the Earth. I cannot conceive of a reason why anybody would think the world is flat."

He went on: "The very simple fact we've taken pictures of it. I'm lost for words, it's probably the most nonsensical suggestion that a thinking human being could possibly make.

"It is drivel," Cox damningly stated.

The visual evidence is what also drove Tyson to speak up on the subject, as he pointed out: "There are people who think Earth is flat but recognise that the Moon is round, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and the Sun are all spheres.

“But Earth is flat. Something doesn’t square,” he said.

The American scientist added: “We have video from space of the rotating, spherical Earth. The Earth is round.”

Tyson also highlighted: "Almost everything in the universe is either a sphere or light distortion of a sphere, for some other things happening to it.

“We can just see how the universe favours spheres.”

Tyson claimed that it was also the fault of the American schooling system, saying that it doesn't teach the youth to think critically, which could be damaging for the country's future.

“Our system needs to train you not only what to know, but how to think about information and knowledge and evidence," he explained.

“If you don’t have that kind of training you would run around and believe anything.”
