Flattening the globe would also severely distort the shapes of oceans and continents and the distances between them. Flat earth models do not explain the broad range of natural phenomena that are well explained by the modern scientific understanding of the globe and its place in our solar system. The flat Earth conspiracy bases its arguments on perceived flaws in mainstream science, while ignoring major problems with its own claims. Left to itself without divine intervention, a disc world would collapse under its own gravity forming a sphere like other planets, large moons, and stars. This remains the position of many flat earthers today.
Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, flat earthism was primarily motivated by biblical literalism.
The flat Earth conspiracy varies, but usually involves a large disc shaped world with a relatively tiny sun and moon circling above it like lamps above a table.
