So, lets just say that 30 people. Astronauts, politicians, scientists, meterologists etc. find out the earth is flat every year. Let's say each year, a few people try to explain that the earth is flat, and they are put as insane when they purpose it's flat to the news. How many astronauts, politicians, scientists, meteorologists would the news have to look at before they start suspecting something? Let's say that the news are part of the conspiracy, meaning nearly every way of sending out newspapers, magazines, tv news, etc. Knowing what these kind of things bring out to the world. Quite a few people would say something. If I worked for the news, and I knew that people (smart important people in particular) were trying to post a story of the earth being flat. I would check it out.
