Why do some people still think the Earth is flat?
I can see how social media could spread misinformation, but how do people still believe this despite all the evidence to the contrary?
Confirmation bias might play a role in why some people still hold onto the belief. If someone is already convinced that the Earth is flat, they might interpret any evidence to the contrary as part of a conspiracy or dismiss it altogether. Additionally, skepticism towards science and scientific institutions can make it difficult for people to accept scientific facts that do not align with their worldview.
