It needed Einstiens theory of relativity (general), tons of additional observations, and now even incorporates particle physics (for the early universe). In an odd twist, Einstien initially worked to prove a static universe and added a constant to his equation to show it. He later regretted this move and called it his biggest blunder. Interesting though the constant has been reapplied but for a different purpose.

Not looking to start an argument, but if we are to rip on the flat earthers for their blatant ignorance, we gotta make sure we are absolutely accurate as well
You're comparing apples and oranges. Einstein was working to figure things out. Much like climate change, there is no longer any figuring out to be done with respect to a flat Earth. Either you accept that it's round or you choose to be a nincompoop
