Laughable in the highest!

Anyone that has ever stood on a bluff overlooking the ocean instantly knows that the Earth is quite curved.

Yes, belief in a flat Earth is woo of the highest order.

That hasn't prevented many ancient civilizations (and the occasional modern nutjob) from believing in it.

It is very flat, in polar co-ordinates, with the origin at the earth’s center.

If it were scaled down to the size of a typical ball bearing, it would be more perfect than the best commercially available ones.
