The world is flat.
Checked on 2024-09-27
Veracity Assessment: False

Probability: 0.0

Justification: The claim "The world is flat" is not supported by any credible scientific evidence. All the provided evidence discusses the book "The World Is Flat" by Thomas L. Friedman, which is about globalization and its impact on the world, not about the physical shape of the Earth. The Earth is widely accepted by the scientific community to be an oblate spheroid, meaning it is roughly spherical in shape but slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator.

Verdict: Uncertain
