Good luck explaining infinite atmosphere would mean infinite gravity and weā€™d be crushed into a black hole.

But yeah, sure. Earth is the flat object in the observable universe and NASA totally has the power and budget to make possible test you can do to prove otherwise wrong.

They believe in a dome. Flat Earthers are almost all creationists dressing up as independent thinkers.

They believe in the cosmology described in Genesis: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_near_eastern_cosmology

I think itā€™s just one frame actually, making it impossible to calculate the speed very accurately, so we only have upper and lower bounds.
