Ok. This topic that I am starting is deliberately going to be as simplistic as it gets. I realise that many people are going to tell me to go to the FAQ or the Wiki. But, that is NOT how to answer questions.

If you had NEVER met me, and I had NEVER HEARD of Flat Earth Theory, and I walked in this room, completely cold, how would you respond to me? If I just came in said, "OMG, what is this?" what would you say?

So, start from the VERY beginning. Preferably using bullet points, tot down the primary points of FET. Indicate for me those points, and explain each point briefly to me. After you have done so, I shall analyse each thing you have written, and respond.

I am seriously NOT trying to be a dick. I truly want to get to the bottom of exactly what FET is. I have been on this site for about a year, and had a large amount of conversations about the FE, but now I want to go back to the most basic of basics, and get the simplest of understandings. Pretend you are talking to a nine-year-old.

Carry on then! Let the topic begin!
