60% Informative
Professor Brian Cox , Professor of Particle Physics at the University of Manchester , has given his damning verdict on the theory.
People who believe that the Earth is flat are called 'Flat Earthers' because Earth 's surface looks and feels flat.
The leading theory suggests Earth is a disc with the Arctic Circle in the centre and Antarctica , a 150 ft wall of ice around the rim.
But Professor Cox points out that if Earth was flat, airplanes flying across our planet would eventually meet the rim of the planet.
