sentences:  At the 2019 SkeptiCal conference held in San Francisco, Branch presented a history of the Flat Earth movement which began in 1819 and evolved into the movement of today.He attributes the resurgence of the movement to a YouTube video posted in 2011 entitled “The Globe Model Attempts to Deceive the Public.” According to Branch, the old flat earth theory focused on creationism is dying out, while the new version is fueled by social media feeding conspiracy theories to people and pushing them further down the rabbit hole.Ultimately, Branch thinks the craze is going to fail for a lack of consensus between methods.
