Flat Earth has become a heavy topic of debate the last few years as people are beginning to question the authenticity of information we have been taught regarding the Earth as being a globe sphere or a flat disc.
Is Flat Earth a Conspiracy Theory or can Flat Earth theory be based on Truth?

Globe 'Facts' Conflicting Points
Before we get into Flat Earth, lets discuss why the Globe as a sphere is not accepted by some.
There are many questions when it comes to Earth involving the vastness of space. For as long as some of us can remember, we have been taught certain aspects of what the system around our world is like. Some of these aspects create more questions when taking a closer look at what we have been taught.

EARTH'S ORBIT
The common conception around the world is the planets in our solar system orbit around the Sun because of the Sun's strong gravitational pull. The Sun pulls the planets in the solar system, including the Earth, towards it and allows the planets to remain in orbit.

The Heliocentric model claims the Sun and our Solar System orbits the Milky Way galaxy. This model is widely accepted by many as highly possible but NASA has not confirmed or denied.
If this were true, how come Polaris (North Star) does not move?
This can be seen in the video as our entire star system seems to spin around the bright North Star.
POLARIS (THE NORTH STAR)
Christopher Columbus even used Polaris to Navigate in the 1490's. Estimated 530 years ago.

History says the first documented discovery of Polaris was the year 169 AD.
Both Claudius Ptolemy (in the 1st century AD) and Al-Sûfi (10th century) listed Polaris as a 3rd-magnitude star. William Herschel (late 18th century) measured it to be magnitude 2.4, and around 1900 it was cataloged at 2.2. Such a large, long-term brightness increase would be hard to explain theoretically, as Guinan observes; "It should not be getting that bright that quickly." But astronomy historians have long pointed out that old magnitude estimates are notoriously unreliable."

WHERE IS THE CURVATURE?
According to this balloon experiment, no matter how high up you go, the horizon will always be flat.
There is no curvature visible on the Earth's horizon.
The First TV image of Earth's curvature that NASA presented to the public was taken by the TIROS I Satellite on April 1st, 1960. April 1st is also recognized as April Fool's Day.
Definition of April Fool's Day:
April 1, in many Western countries traditionally an occasion for playing tricks. This custom has been observed for hundreds of years, but its origin is unknown.

April 1st, 1960 - April Fools Day?
Are we being fooled?
