Desdamona was one of them, even though she tried to deny it after realizing how silly it was to the rest of us.

Re: Reasons for being a flat earther
I agree with Ned. There are only 3 reasons why you should think the Earth is flat:
​
1) You believe in the bible so much that even the description of the Earth being a "circle" overrides centuries of scientific progress in the matter.
​
2) You are an idiot.
​
3) You just want to attract some attention.

Re: Reasons for being a flat earther
Yes, he is technically correct along that line. However, it depends on what you define "flat" as. The current generally accepted definition is something that only has 2 dimensions or a 3-D model that represents 2-D. For example, a piece of paper is a 3-D object but it figuratively represents a 2 dimensional object.
​
Your friend physicist was just playing around the definition of "flat".
