I think that video was made when flat earthers or least majority of them still believed in gravity. It was the time when they still didn't know that gravity naturally makes massive objects round. Flat earthers always adjust their model and theories everytime they get debunked.
@@msgeennow they say it’s density and buoyancy and electromagnetism. If you replace gravity with electromagnetism then everything would stick together because electromagnetism is way stronger than gravity. It doesn’t matter what flat earthers say. They can’t make this work on a flat earth.
@@RAYRDWallace what? then how do they explain compasses and them pointing at poles, if that's true then the pull on metallic objects would obviously become stronger making them fall faster but the acceleration due to gravity remains a constant no matter its density and weight, the only difference is surface area due to air resistance not only that it would mess with our electronics, satellites and almost everything that uses electricity
@@msgeenSounds the same as science though, As I know everything in science is open to be disproved and even encouraged, and of course if disapproved the models and theories around a subject would have to be changed right? (I’m not a flat earther)
I once hung out with an engineer who told me he was taking a friend to fly around the world and budgeting for a week to pull it off. I asked him what was his reason. He told me he just had to prove to his friend that the earth was round.
unfortunately for most flat earthers it wont change their view. They didn't arrive at their beliefs through reason. Perhaps this is one rare exception.
Yeah.. they'll post that experience online before all the idiots say he was actually in a simulator with screens on the window, and that his friend is actually a government spy that caught on to him. When you're already in a community that explains everything away as a hoax or government conspiracy, ANY evidence can be explained as a hoax or government conspiracy, even your own senses.
It's not that we need to prove anything. We are just trying to open your eyes to the facts that you are being bred to believe everything. Believe what you will.
@@rubberspoon In the original post, the flat earther is being taken around the world by their friend because they know it's the only way to convince a flat earther. It's the flat earther that is the one asking for proof, and it is provided to them. I doubt it changed their mind, though.

The thing I remember most about Bob Dole was the day after the election, he was on one of the late night shows. Throughout the entire campaign, he was kind of rigid, cold, and seemed to lack a personality - but on the show he was relaxed, had a sense of humor about the loss, and was actually quite charming. I came away thinking that if he'd let just let the personality he displayed on that show peek out during the election, he might have made it very interesting.
Quick dip into particle physics: 1. Fermions are the "mass" particles. They include protons, neutrons, elections, neutrinos, etc. 2. A subcategory of fermions are leptons. They are defined by not contributing to interactions with "the strong nuclear force" which binds neutrons and protons. 3. The most famous lepton is the electron which doesn't get bound to the nucleus of atoms. The *muon* is another lepton which behaves very similar to an electron, but is about ~200 times heavier. That extra mass/energy is why it is prone to decaying which just means splitting apart. To elaborate on VSauce's claim: 1. Time dilation and length contraction allow us to get hit by muons despite a muon splits into an electron + two different neutrinos in about ~0.00000022 seconds. 2. The faster you go, the slower you experience time compared to everyone else and the shorter the distances you travel. For example: If a photon could experience it's own trip, it would describe it as never needing to move at all. It would consider the universe to be flat such that its departure and destination points are touching. Any trip would be instantaneous because there is no distance to travel. External observers are the ones who would say it traveled at c, and takes a billion years to travel a billion lightyears. PS: Another ambiguous crossword I encountered said was something like "best scifi TV show" and it could be filled out "star trek" or "star wars".

Indians knew 5000 years ago that earth is round. Indians already had the heliocentric model around 2000 BC. The very name of the word Geography in Sanskrit is "Bhugol" which translates to "Round Earth". Our ancient carvings show earth as a round globe. Indians already calculated circumference of earth, distances of earth from moon and sun more than 2000 years ago. The concept of gravity was given by Indians a thousand years before Newton.
Just so you know, Vsauce got the (mis)pronunciation of Eratosthenes in that video from a suspiciously legitimate-looking parody "how to pronounce..." TH-cam channel which people have been trying to get banned for misinformation for over a decade now. You already said it right, keep doing so.

One more thing, something Ambre said that i thought was genius. She compared the crossword analogy to the theory of everything, a theory currently under construction that is attempting to coalesce classical Einsteinian mechanics with quantum mechanics. I just had the thought - what if we do already have the theory of everything? What if, like the crossword, we have to different explanations that fit all of the answers we ask, and that one single answer that merges them both doesnt exist? We may not be able to ask every question and get the answers using one or the other explanation, but whatever questions we cannot answer with one, we can with the other. Everything that needs explaining is essentially explained using these two, shall we say, answer keys. Now personally i dont think we will ever have a true "theory of everything" in that its a theory that we use to construct experiments to eventually measure/observe everything in the universe. I believe this of course because of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, that essentially says we cannot know everything. Well what it technically says is that we cannot know the absolute value of anything's momentum and position simultaneously. If we know one absolute, measurement of the other will dissolve into only probability simply by the nature of the universe. But when it comes to what is actually knowable in the universe, maybe we already have the tools to know all that we can know. Like the most famous example of the clash between classical mechanics and quantum mechanics is that we cannot explain what even should happen, let alone what DOES happen, at the center of a black hole. Something so small, typically dictated by the laws of QM, but of an incredible mass, which is usually dictated by classical mechanics. Perhaps what the singularity is, what actually happens at the center, is in reality unknowable and its not that there is something wrong with our understanding or our theory or math. It might just be that no matter how we ask it, we will never get the answer because there isnt one. Personally i think the reason why our theories break down at the center of a black hole, at the singularity and we calculate infinities which is thought to be physically impossible, the reason why we think that the matter that falls into it seems to actually be lost to the universe - is because black holes are so dense, that the singularity is an actual rip, a literal hole in physical spacetime, on which the other side exists what is called the Inflaton field. The thus far theoretical Inflaton field is of course the most fundamental field, more fundamental than the electromagnetic field, the gravitational field, even more fundamental than spacetime, as this field is theorized to actually birth these fundamental fields including spacetime itself.
Little correction there Jaby.. people, knew the Earth was round since before the AD, most ancients knew at least in the Mediterranean world already knew it was round. So anyone afterwards really has no excuse.
That's NOT how you say Eratosthenes. The guys on the left was right, era-THÓS-te-knees. Michael is painfully American sometimes with his pronunciations. Americans are not very good at actually reading words that are new to them or not in common english.
Erathostenes in greek is pronounced era toss tees (according to Google Translate). However, the English pronunciation is as we have known it: era toss tee nees.
Celestial navigation proves it is "flat". You can't aim at a star and acquire an elevation angle with a sextant from a curved baseline because you won't end up with triangles (required to do trigonometry and perform the triangulation) The inventor of the sextant assumed the earth to be flat and it works...
The amount of incredibly smart, humble and kind people in the comments (and also elsewhere) who are absolutely certain about the shape of Earth is stunning.
I'm sure he brings up that yes they have plausible explanation for everything about a round earth, btu they are SO contradictory it's not funny :> One explanation requires the world to work one way, and another requires the opposite.
My argument against flat earth is the analemma shape made by the sun plotted each day at the same time for a year. The figure 8 shape is made because the earth is on a tilt and has an elliptical orbit around the sun. You can model this in a computer and get the same result. So, the earth actually is on an elliptical orbit around the sun with a tilt of 23 degrees, OR, the government is actually smart enough to have come up with the lie that perfectly matches the analemma result. You have to pick one. Flat earthers, I'm sure, will come up with a third option.
Look, the Earth is definitely, absolutely, 100% flat.... Guaranteed..... Probably within an accepted average measurement error rate of plus or minus 1 degree of curvature per about 110km travelled laterally across the FLAT surface of the Earth. Obviously. Because, you know, mountains and stuff.
i have to correct one thing. It's not classical and quantum that don't work together. If you try to apply quantum laws to classical objects, then the quantum laws pushed to their limits simplify to classical mechanics. It's quantum and relativity that don't play nice. Quantum assumes that all forces are a product of force carrier particles, but gravity doesn't seem to have a force carrier, since a graviton (the theoretical gravity force carrier) isn't even predicted by the standard model. So classical isn't the thing that doesn't play nice with quantum. marrying relativity to quantum is the theory of everything, not quantum to classical.
Just playing devil's advocate here but the very first example presented in this video regarding that sideways gravity only works in a specific type of scenario. The flat plane of Earth would have to be thicker in the middle and thinner on the edges for his example to work the way he describes it. If the flat Earth model was thicker on the edges and thinner towards the middle then gravity would appear normal. (Plus some flat earthers claim that gravity doesn't work the way we think it does, that instead it's about buoyancy.) I'm not a flat earth of myself, but I do feel that if you're going to debunk somebody then you should debunk the arguments that they use to justify their positions. Flat earthers have explanations for this gravity scenario that no one ever seems to address.
Flat earthers don't believe in gravity; however, they worship density and buoyancy. Little do they know, the formula for buoyancy is density times volume times GRAVITY. 😏
Its so great that you guys happen to watch this at this particular moment, because i currently have a friend over who is a conspiracy theorist and believes, among other things, that the earth is flat XD
I'm convinced that the flat earthers that bring up these stupid explanations actually are meming. No one can actually believe that the earth is flat.😂😂😂😂 I would really want to meet one of these people.
So he definitely believes the earth is flat. He tries to explain away everything like for example that Netflix movie where the flat earthers prove themselves wrong at the end of it. I don't remember what his response is, but he tries to convey that they didn't actually prove themselves wrong, or perhaps it was something about the film actually being edited just to make them look bad. His belief is legit. I've even tried to explain that it is just physically impossible because of gravity and like she said, Vsauce's reasoning was a mischaracterization in the assumption that flat earthers believe in gravity. I've also tried to explain that if the earth was flat, the sun would illuminate the whole thing all at once, and that it would be daytime across the world all at once, or night time across the world all at once. And despite the fact that he can literally face time someone in virtually any country in Europe right now and see with his own eyes that it's night time. He's a dome believe. He doesn't think rockets go to space. He bases this on the fact that he saw a story about some guys building a homemade rocket, and then once it got "too high" aka too close to the dome, it started spinning out and crashed or whatever. You know, nothing to do with the fact that rocket science is actually difficult and not just anyone can build a rocket to go to space. He also hates it on a video of a rat supposedly walking along the outside of a rocket while it's in the vacuum of space. There is only one video I could find that fits that description and it's not a rat it's literally a rotating piece of the rocket moving as the rocket is flying through the vacuum. He believes Antarctica is an ice wall and given the money, he wouldn't even try to cross it because he thinks the government will just kill him, like they do everyone who tries to walk across Antarctica. You know, nevermind the fact that it's actually hypothermia that will kill you if you try to walk all across Antarctica because of how cold it is, and that if you don't layer properly, you will either be too cold, or hot to the point where you sweat, and you freeze because of sweating. The really ironic thing is that he enjoys looking at the stars? Despite the fact that his belief leads him to think the stars are fake. Like if the stars are fake, then being in awe of them is playing into the hand of the government who wants you to look and be amazed. He likes space games, and thinks people who design not just space, but the spherical planets are all just either in on the conspiracy, or have been manipulated. He also believes that the fires in Hawaii were caused by a Chinese energy weapon. He bases this off the pictures that have been circulating, from the one with the three untouched umbrellas, to the untouched house surrounded by rubble. He ignored the fact that there is an equally famous picture from the Paradise, CA fire that happened, of a trailer untouched by the fire, yet surrounded by rubble - and that when that happened NO ONE was calling it conspiracy. He finds it odd that the fire avoided some trees and not others, even though trees are full of water so it's really difficult to make sure it gets hot enough everywhere to burn all the trees. He's confused that it was hot enough to melt the aluminum of some cars, but didn't melt the asphalt which has a lower melting temperature. Cuz you know, it's actually hard for asphalt to CATCH on fire, thus enabling it to get hot enough to the point of melting. Nevermind the fact that the wind just blows the fire over the top of the asphalt, not allowing it to get hot enough to melt. He also ignores all the video evidence from the AU fires that we absolutely devastating the last couple years, where people are driving down an unmelted street, with fires on BOTH SIDES - oh my gosh how could that have happened unless the fire was set on both sides intentionally, along with the fact that no one cried conspiracy when those videos were posted. The brains of conspiracy theories are quite literally mush. They suffer from a legitimate medical delusion of the mind, and more medical professionals need to voice into the public sphere that these people suffer from an actual medical condition. The DSM defines a delusion as "a fixed, unshakeable belief, that remains rigid in spite of all evidence to the contrary."
Tell your friend to go around the world.... and start watching the stars. This will be enough if he is smart enough to understand that Earth is not flat
Haha, don't take the Erastosthenes pronunciation seriously. Remember that Vsauce likes to be quirky and put flair into things. His research is on point but the way he says things isn't always exact. Not that either way is like the original pronunciation, but you were saying it the 'normal' way.
sadly, the entire issue of seeing planets opens an entirely new issue they claim that EVERYTHING seen in space all looks like it is being view THROUGH WATER, supporting the idea of the firmament of water that is a dome over the earth
Your pronounce of Eratosthenes would be more accurate than Vsauce. Becose Eratosthenes manage to be born before invention of language that letter "E" says like letter "I". Which is english.
omg what will say if tell you that followers of islam actually beleive that earth is flat. and they say world conspiring again them by making airplane glasses curved so that it can be seen round 😂😂😂😂 and they actually believe that
Incase gravity is mok by accelaration same accelaration on sun and same gravity on sun too🤔. Flat earth attitude is allways forgetting coherentcy/ scientific mosaic
follow mw on this journey. The Earth is 71-72% water and none of it is Carbonated, so Technically speaking the Earth IS Flat Another Perspective thing is that whole "what came first, the chicken or the egg?" The Answer is both, if you're a Religious person you'd say God created the chicken and the chicken laid the egg. But if you're a Science minded person you'd say evolution created the chicken through many millions of years of egg laying mutations so the egg necessarily had to come first.
For the crossword are you allowed to write in the first name and last name on the off chance that combined they would equal the empty spots? If not then Clinton was the answer and therefore cat was the other answer.
science and religion don't have to be enemies!. in fact, throughout most of recorded history, they have not been.

The inventor of the sextant assumed the earth to be flat and it works...
They know where the Flat n Static Earth is written 😂😂😂
you yourself check first where its written
@@danish75808 Checked, it is written there where "the earth was unstable, therefore mountains were buried from above". 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What if the flat earthers are doing this so that someone would take them to space for free to prove them wrong 😂
The amount of incredibly smart, humble and kind people in the comments (and also elsewhere) who are absolutely certain about the shape of Earth is stunning.
Science doesn't work in Orange County, CA. Beliefs and feelings are everything; king.
how could u be a space enthusiast and not know Vsauce? I'm offended.
For allah earth is still flat no dought
I'm sure he brings up that yes they have plausible explanation for everything about a round earth, btu they are SO contradictory it's not funny :> One explanation requires the world to work one way, and another requires the opposite.
I've never actually met a flat earther, but fundies? whew! can smell them coming a whole street block away.
OMG !! Vsauce !!
I Never comment been a viewer for more than 3 years now but holy multiverse .
I love vsauce and I miss him
My argument against flat earth is the analemma shape made by the sun plotted each day at the same time for a year. The figure 8 shape is made because the earth is on a tilt and has an elliptical orbit around the sun.
You can model this in a computer and get the same result.
So, the earth actually is on an elliptical orbit around the sun with a tilt of 23 degrees, OR, the government is actually smart enough to have come up with the lie that perfectly matches the analemma result. You have to pick one.
Flat earthers, I'm sure, will come up with a third option.
Look, the Earth is definitely, absolutely, 100% flat.... Guaranteed.....
Probably within an accepted average measurement error rate of plus or minus 1 degree of curvature per about 110km travelled laterally across the FLAT surface of the Earth. Obviously. Because, you know, mountains and stuff.
flat earthers deny gravity too so this video is not gonna change their already empty mind
A muon is a heavy electron, a tauon is even heavier, by quarks.
i have to correct one thing. It's not classical and quantum that don't work together. If you try to apply quantum laws to classical objects, then the quantum laws pushed to their limits simplify to classical mechanics. It's quantum and relativity that don't play nice. Quantum assumes that all forces are a product of force carrier particles, but gravity doesn't seem to have a force carrier, since a graviton (the theoretical gravity force carrier) isn't even predicted by the standard model. So classical isn't the thing that doesn't play nice with quantum. marrying relativity to quantum is the theory of everything, not quantum to classical.
Just playing devil's advocate here but the very first example presented in this video regarding that sideways gravity only works in a specific type of scenario.
The flat plane of Earth would have to be thicker in the middle and thinner on the edges for his example to work the way he describes it.
If the flat Earth model was thicker on the edges and thinner towards the middle then gravity would appear normal.
(Plus some flat earthers claim that gravity doesn't work the way we think it does, that instead it's about buoyancy.)
I'm not a flat earth of myself, but I do feel that if you're going to debunk somebody then you should debunk the arguments that they use to justify their positions. Flat earthers have explanations for this gravity scenario that no one ever seems to address.
Flat earthers don't believe in gravity; however, they worship density and buoyancy. Little do they know, the formula for buoyancy is density times volume times GRAVITY. 😏
like the t-shirt Jaby
Its so great that you guys happen to watch this at this particular moment, because i currently have a friend over who is a conspiracy theorist and believes, among other things, that the earth is flat XD
many do.
I'm convinced that the flat earthers that bring up these stupid explanations actually are meming. No one can actually believe that the earth is flat.😂😂😂😂 I would really want to meet one of these people.
This keeps auto deleting my replies 😑
So he definitely believes the earth is flat. He tries to explain away everything like for example that Netflix movie where the flat earthers prove themselves wrong at the end of it. I don't remember what his response is, but he tries to convey that they didn't actually prove themselves wrong, or perhaps it was something about the film actually being edited just to make them look bad. His belief is legit. I've even tried to explain that it is just physically impossible because of gravity and like she said, Vsauce's reasoning was a mischaracterization in the assumption that flat earthers believe in gravity. I've also tried to explain that if the earth was flat, the sun would illuminate the whole thing all at once, and that it would be daytime across the world all at once, or night time across the world all at once. And despite the fact that he can literally face time someone in virtually any country in Europe right now and see with his own eyes that it's night time.
He's a dome believe. He doesn't think rockets go to space. He bases this on the fact that he saw a story about some guys building a homemade rocket, and then once it got "too high" aka too close to the dome, it started spinning out and crashed or whatever. You know, nothing to do with the fact that rocket science is actually difficult and not just anyone can build a rocket to go to space. He also hates it on a video of a rat supposedly walking along the outside of a rocket while it's in the vacuum of space. There is only one video I could find that fits that description and it's not a rat it's literally a rotating piece of the rocket moving as the rocket is flying through the vacuum. He believes Antarctica is an ice wall and given the money, he wouldn't even try to cross it because he thinks the government will just kill him, like they do everyone who tries to walk across Antarctica. You know, nevermind the fact that it's actually hypothermia that will kill you if you try to walk all across Antarctica because of how cold it is, and that if you don't layer properly, you will either be too cold, or hot to the point where you sweat, and you freeze because of sweating.
The really ironic thing is that he enjoys looking at the stars? Despite the fact that his belief leads him to think the stars are fake. Like if the stars are fake, then being in awe of them is playing into the hand of the government who wants you to look and be amazed. He likes space games, and thinks people who design not just space, but the spherical planets are all just either in on the conspiracy, or have been manipulated.
He also believes that the fires in Hawaii were caused by a Chinese energy weapon. He bases this off the pictures that have been circulating, from the one with the three untouched umbrellas, to the untouched house surrounded by rubble. He ignored the fact that there is an equally famous picture from the Paradise, CA fire that happened, of a trailer untouched by the fire, yet surrounded by rubble - and that when that happened NO ONE was calling it conspiracy. He finds it odd that the fire avoided some trees and not others, even though trees are full of water so it's really difficult to make sure it gets hot enough everywhere to burn all the trees. He's confused that it was hot enough to melt the aluminum of some cars, but didn't melt the asphalt which has a lower melting temperature. Cuz you know, it's actually hard for asphalt to CATCH on fire, thus enabling it to get hot enough to the point of melting. Nevermind the fact that the wind just blows the fire over the top of the asphalt, not allowing it to get hot enough to melt. He also ignores all the video evidence from the AU fires that we absolutely devastating the last couple years, where people are driving down an unmelted street, with fires on BOTH SIDES - oh my gosh how could that have happened unless the fire was set on both sides intentionally, along with the fact that no one cried conspiracy when those videos were posted.
The brains of conspiracy theories are quite literally mush. They suffer from a legitimate medical delusion of the mind, and more medical professionals need to voice into the public sphere that these people suffer from an actual medical condition. The DSM defines a delusion as "a fixed, unshakeable belief, that remains rigid in spite of all evidence to the contrary."
Tell your friend to go around the world.... and start watching the stars.
This will be enough if he is smart enough to understand that Earth is not flat
Haha, don't take the Erastosthenes pronunciation seriously. Remember that Vsauce likes to be quirky and put flair into things. His research is on point but the way he says things isn't always exact. Not that either way is like the original pronunciation, but you were saying it the 'normal' way.
sadly, the entire issue of seeing planets opens an entirely new issue
they claim that EVERYTHING seen in space all looks like it is being view THROUGH WATER, supporting the idea of the firmament of water that is a dome over the earth
More vsauce
Your pronounce of Eratosthenes would be more accurate than Vsauce. Becose Eratosthenes manage to be born before invention of language that letter "E" says like letter "I". Which is english.
omg what will say if tell you that followers of islam actually beleive that earth is flat. and they say world conspiring again them by making airplane glasses curved so that it can be seen round 😂😂😂😂 and they actually believe that
their minds must be flatter than a flat tire lol
You don't know VSAUCE?!! Oh my. You've got some hours to watch then, my goodness. He's/they are brilliant. Enjoy! :-D
Crazy unexpected crossover!!! Vsauce? Really?? How awesome!! His video on what’s the scariest thing is amazing!!
Incase gravity is mok by accelaration same accelaration on sun and same gravity on sun too🤔. Flat earth attitude is allways forgetting coherentcy/ scientific mosaic
Is it?
Whaaaaaat??? Absolutely thrilled to see your reaction on the absolute legend of TH-cam, Vsauce
follow mw on this journey. The Earth is 71-72% water and none of it is Carbonated, so Technically speaking the Earth IS Flat
Another Perspective thing is that whole "what came first, the chicken or the egg?" The Answer is both, if you're a Religious person you'd say God created the chicken and the chicken laid the egg. But if you're a Science minded person you'd say evolution created the chicken through many millions of years of egg laying mutations so the egg necessarily had to come first.
Earth is SODA!
For the crossword are you allowed to write in the first name and last name on the off chance that combined they would equal the empty spots? If not then Clinton was the answer and therefore cat was the other answer.
How do people take the 'Flat Earth' thought seriously?? Really? there is too much evidence to the contrary......
science and religion don't have to be enemies!. in fact, throughout most of recorded history, they have not been. In an estimate by Baruch Shalev, between 1901 and 2000 about 65.4% of Nobel prize winners were either Christians or had a Christian background. As of 2021, thirteen Nobel Prize laureates have been Muslims! sorry to just focus on the last part, it was interesting to see smarter people then me react to this video.
Actually flat earth isn’t archaic at all, few if any back in the olden days thought this. Its annoyingly more recent than youd think
This SCHOOL GIRL 🤔is looking like KOREAN GIRL with small face.CUTE😏..
Okay so now that i know u work with bill nye…why does he hate kids but all of his content is for kids…not anymore but when he had his show.
Yeah so VSauce has no idea how to pronounce Earathostenes, stick to your guns my friends, you were right.
The answer is...
42:)
Earth isn’t round !!
.
.
.
.
.
It’s more like egg shaped but oval than round 😂
If flat earth rotated. Wouldn't that cancel out the gravity dragging people to the middle 😬😉
Yeah the earth is flat, probably due to global warming killing all the carbonation. LOL
look up moon round on full mooon that goof point - you right if look in sky planets are round ,,, sun as well if look up
Glad to know that the Milky Way galaxy is not flat.
And neither is the Universe.
And neither is the space-time continuum.
More Vsauce!!!
Meanwhile the flat earth enthusiasts are doing convention 😂 try to make them believe this 😅
You pronounced Erathostenes correctly, VSauce said it wrong...
Muslims: yes ,its flat according to our allah
Yes, yes it is flat, since the universe is flat everything inside oh it must also be flat.
One religion will definitely gets offend by it.. especially in India now a days...
Nothing in NATURE is FLAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if not show me Example
Why are all the other planets even the sun round?
But the Earth is flat right?
A Global multi Millennium conspiracy where every navigator and astronomer who ever lived is in on it just seems so plausible!
