Hey, I've been looking 'round the forum and of course read the FAQ. The answers for a lot of the questions asked is easily answered with "It's part of the conspiracy." Eh don't bother quoting me on that either.
So that got me wondering... about the government, space organizations, and other people in on the conspiracy. If the Earth was flat from the very beginning why would the government invest so much time, money, and effort to keep this a secret? When it would be just as easy to start investigating (using the money they gave to people to keep their mouths shut) to do legitimate experiments.
Last time I checked, the government usually look for quick easy fixes to solve problems that is less sweat off their brow.
Also what would be so bad if the rest of the world who isn't in on the conspiracy found out the Earth is indeed flat? Seeing how it would be much worse to tell an average Joe that what he learned in school about the Earth is absolutely wrong. Therefore leading to them to question more things about the government and what else they are hiding. If the government and other organizations were so clever to come up with the Earth being round then how come they couldn't see this being a possible ending if they lied about it being round in the first place?
Anyhow, shed some light won't you?
