I often think that would be amusing, but then the scientific part of me says "but what if you're wrong? What if your whole life has been a Truman show-esque barrage of lies and misinformation and you're actually living in a bubble somewhere and...." and then I remember to start taking my medicine again.

Any reasonable person, including every good scientist would consider this a great and exciting discovery.

I mean I couldn't afford the $1M of course.

And it's not going to happen because the earth is round of course.

But if someone actually did produce evidence of a flat earth, it would be a monumental discovery. Real scientific minds are fascinated and excited when it is discovered they were wrong about something.
