For every answer mankind finds about the universe, a lie is created to control and confuse the majority of people.
Sadly less than 0.0001% of the population knows the basics about the shape and nature of Earth. This stuff is pretty easy to learn too, and the information has been available to the public for a few years now.
We've all been lied to and duped on the grandest scale. Every piece of information given to us about our Earth from the media, government, education system, hollywood, nasa, ect. is a false fabrication.
