Flat Earth Explained is dedicated to combating the spread of misinformation and pseudoscientific claims promoted by flat earth groups operating on social media platforms, obscure websites, and in various communities.
We believe in the importance of scientific literacy and critical thinking as essential tools for navigating today's information-rich world. Our goal is to provide accurate, evidence-based resources that help individuals understand scientific concepts and develop the skills needed to evaluate extraordinary claims.
The spread of flat earth beliefs represents more than just a scientific misunderstanding - it often serves as a gateway to deeper conspiracy thinking and a general distrust of educational institutions, scientific expertise, and established knowledge.

We invite you to explore our resources, ask questions, and develop your critical thinking skills. By understanding how science actually works and learning to evaluate claims based on evidence rather than emotion or rhetoric, you'll be better equipped to make informed decisions about the world around you.
Our goal isn't to tell you what to think, but to help you learn how to think critically about extraordinary claims and recognize the beauty and wonder of our actual, spherical planet.
