Jacobson said that there are many different ways to show the Earth is round: You can get on a plane or ship and travel all the way around the globe. “I know of no one (in science) who is a flat-Earther,” he said. There’s no support for flat Earth theory among mainstream scientists, according to Seth Jacobson, an assistant professor of earth and planetary science at Northwestern University.

The trailer, which is a little more than 2 minutes long, takes a light tone and highlights some quirky claims, with a young woman arguing, “People like to think that (the Earth) is round, because the shape of your eyes is round.” Paul is seen arguing with a friend who dismisses flat-Earth theory and staring into the camera with a crestfallen expression: “I just don’t know what to believe anymore,” he says. “A lot of kids look up to popular people like (Paul), so it could have an effect,” said Owen Cooney, 13, of Chicago’s Beverly neighborhood. The video, has more than 1.2 million views. While his ultimate conclusion is not revealed in the trailer, he is shown telling a cheering audience, “My name is Logan Paul, and I think I’m coming out of the flat-Earth closet.” Paul, who is popular with middle school and high school students, released a trailer for an upcoming documentary in which he attends a flat Earth convention and interviews participants. The theory that the Earth is flat reached a new audience recently, thanks to a viral video by controversial YouTube star Logan Paul.
