Where is a good place to start to learn about [flat earth research]
I am admittedly a little biased, but I suggest (and cordially invite all earnest to) the community I created to explore and discuss such topics! Click my username and find the link, or let me know and I will PM it to you!
the globe conspiracy
In my view there is no such thing. Humanity requires no conspiracy (nor help) to be stupid and wrong as it historically (and contemporarily) always is.
geocentric model,
As far as I am aware, the geocentric “models” (they did not technically have such things back then) are relegated to history. It is important to recognize that models are merely (metascientific) tools built for specific purpose, of which understanding reality is never one; that’s what science is for! One of the best known geocentric models, beyond the “standard”/common ones in historical astronomy (ptolemy, brahe, etc.) can be found in the antikythera device (or what’s left of it, anyway). Somewhere between a documentary and catholic propaganda, you may enjoy “the principle” (2014) on the subject.
flat earth / hollow earth (alternative geology and history) etc?
There are many books, websites, and videos about such topics. However, without a good way to verify/validate the information you encounter you will end up swallowing heaps of bullshit :(. “Flat earth” is largely a heavily advertised (i.e. funded) psyop, and must be treated as such.
