Abstract
The concept of "Plattism" is recent, originating from a symposium held in Topeka, Kansas, in 2021. During this event, we presented the fundamental pillars of our emerging field, Experimental and Applied Plattismology. This science offers a rigorous alternative to the "globist" deception of a spherical Earth (Hipe, 2025), consigning the mendacious and fantastical (or rather, phantasmic) theories of naive "flat-earther" beliefs to the forgotten archives of science.
