These are mostly people of marginal social background which almost excludes the option of someone joking with answering, for instance.There weren't many differences in flat-Earth beliefs across regions of the country or between genders or people of different political persuasions. Thus a total of 19 per cent from the adult Bulgarians are hesitant on the issue of the form of the Earth or are not fully able to comprehend the question about its form while the remaining 81 per cent are answering according to science. Here one should add those 11 per cent who struggle to answer. These issues can be possibly treated with different techniques of questioning or more different wording.Įven if we accept that the question for the form of the Earth is not sufficiently clear, not entirely correct or that such statements make some people agree without reflection, the share of 8 per cent is not negligible even when calculating the possible statistical digression. The questions are of course experimental and should be interpreted as little more than hypotheses. These are the data from the latest “Gallup International” survey representative for the adult population of the country: a survey which is independent from external funding and part of the programme for monthly surveys with a quarter of a century record. 15 per cent agree with the opinion that vaccines are most often harmful for the people, 58 per cent uphold the opposite stance while 27 per cent declare to have no opinion. 74 per cent agree that people had stepped on the Moon, 9 per cent disagree while the rest are hesitant. It however appears that 8 per cent agree with the statement “The planet Earth is flat and what is everywhere written that it has a form close to a sphere is untrue”. 81 per cent of those interviewed in a provocative survey do not hesitate as to flat or globular the planet Earth is.
