Distrusting the government is easier than understanding why billions of dollars are going into chasing abstract concepts like dark matter – especially when your government isn't so transparent itself.One question for José Arroyo-Barrigüete, an economist at Comillas Pontifical University in Spain, where he is a professor of quantitative methods. If the earth is flat and the NASA is hiring actors to act as astronauts, then it gives an explanation to people to get angry about paying their hard-earned taxes to the government. This explains why people who previously believed that the earth was round now converted to flat earthers. In childhood, if your teacher only taught you that the earth is round and didn't show you why it is so, you would easily fall for these explainer videos that demonstrate that Earth is flat within two minutes. As these videos get more clout, they get recommended on more people's feeds. Some people may watch flat earther videos to indulge their curiosity. Now, if a person watches conspiracy theories like the fake moon landing or anti-vaccination stance, YouTube would recommend similar conspiracy theories like flat earth theories to their feed. Nowadays, anyone can post a video on YouTube explaining why they think the earth is flat. But since this term is confusing, many people take composite for "photoshopped image" and distribute propaganda that NASA is showing them fake images.Īnother issue that helped elongate the theory of flat earth is the easy access to social media. So, what astronomers do is that they put this data in image analysis software which produces coloured images.

Logically, we wouldn't able to see a thing if these pictures of infrared ray were presented to us because it is beyond our vision range. For example, James Webb Telescope captures infrared rays.

The term means combining data of different wavelengths and then composing them into one image using analysis software. One word is heard anytime a telescope's picture is released – composite image.
