The Earth is round to keep you from walking out of the simulator. If it was flat, there'd be a door or something.

The thing that always gets me about these theories:

Okay, it’s revealed the Earth is flat and all of our modern science is a coverup. How does this affect me in my day to day life? I still have to go to work tomorrow.

Not if you work in one of the many, many fields of science and engineering "involved in the coverup".

All those millions of conspirators who somehow managed to keep a huge secret across borders, time and ideologies. Even between sworn enemies humanity united on this one secret.
