Nathan Thompson, 31, a network marketer based in Orange County, California, set up the Official Flat Earth and Globe Discussion group on Facebook in June 2016. The group now boasts more than 42,000 members and even Nathan has been taken aback by its rapid growth. These Flat Earthers believe that our planet is encircled by a giant, heavily-policed ice wall and that gravity is just an unproven theory. They also claim that NASA is a fraudulent organisation and that all the photographs and video footage we have from space are computer-generated imagery (CGI). And while their views may sound far-fetched, the movement has attracted a number of celebrity adherents in recent months, including rapper B.o.B., former reality TV star Tila Tequila and basketball legend Shaquille ONeal.\n\nPHOTOGRAPHY BY Joel Forrest / Barcroft Images\n\nLondon-T:+44 207 033 1031 E:hello@barcroftmedia.com -\nNew York-T:+1 212 796 2458 E:hello@barcroftusa.com -\nNew Delhi-T:+91 11 4053 2429 E:hello@barcroftindia.com www.barcroftimages.com (Photo credit should read Joel Forrest / Barcroft Media via Getty Images / Barcroft Media via Getty Images)", "Image Copyright": "Joel Forrest / Barcroft Media"}
