Why do some people today still believe that the Earth is flat? What evidence has convinced them that this is so?
But doesn't this kind of belief in conspiracy theories harm science education and scientific progress?
It's possible. When a person believes in a conspiracy theory like the flat Earth, they may become skeptical of other scientific theories or evidence. This could lead to a lack of trust in science education and scientific progress, which could ultimately be detrimental to society as a whole.
