The universe is an egg and the moon isn't real: notes from a Flat Earth conference

Michael Marshall attended the UK's annual gathering of people who share the unshakeable belief that the Earth is flat

There was the three-hour presentation which contended that the universe is a giant egg. There was the Manchester musician who posited that the Earth is the shape of a diamond. And another who believes that the moon is a projection.

Welcome to the Flat Earth UK Convention, a raucous departure from scientific norms where people are free to believe literally anything.
