    I remember I had a friend in HS whose parents were flat earthers. (I'm 43 btw). They tried to convince me that the earth was flat. Now admittedly I didn't have a good grasp on physics let alone astrophysics to refute at 15yrs old. But one thing I did understand was how a lightbulb worked. So I asked them if the sun emitted light from all sides as we were taught. They said yes. So I then asked how do we have night time on a flat earth because even if the sun is the furthest from me I should still see light, at least in the sky. Also how are there places that will have light for 6 months at a time, but then dark for 6 months. The model you are showing me doesn't make sense unless there is a barrier that stops the light of the sun. I was asked to leave and was never invited back to their house.

    A rule of thumb for Flerfers:

    When the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth it's a Solar eclipse.
    When the Sun is between the Earth and the Moon it's an Apocalypse.

    I know someone who couldn't grasp the concept of our solar system and believed the earth was flat. I played Outer Wilds with him together for a few hours and then he realized how gravity works on a Planet and how "Up and down" work.

    I once played a game of DnD where the setting took place on three discs that orbited each other.
    I decided that my barbarian believed the disc they were standing on was a sphere. My DM hated that my character would use the same arguments flat earthers use in the opposite situation.

      how come theres no 360° shots from nasa ever in history. how come they didnt pan the camera towards the earth when they landed on the moon 6 Times how come I can't see the flag or the lander sites on he moon. how come the lunar lander's look like a homeless tweakers shelter with duct tape tinfoil and cardboard. how me light houses can be seen for hundreds of miles when clear when they should be under the curve. how can skylines be a perfect mirror reflection for many many miles.

    Like, yes, that is actually the property which, under gravity, causes things to float or sink. Relative density is not an alternative explanation to gravity.

      I remember flying from Johannesburg to Sydney and the plane's flight route went towards Antarctica, as one would expect on a globe, but it was a cold turbulent night flight. Because the air above Antarctica was extra cold (-80° C), the aircon had trouble compensating, so everyone had blankets on them through that flight. Something you don't often see, as there's always a hero in shorts in the middle of winter.
      Definitely not the nonsense you would expect from a flight that skirted Africa, the Middle East, India, South East Asia and Indonesia then Australia as would occur if the earth was flat.
      The entire flight was across an ocean, with no lights of civilization anywhere.

  •  ปีที่แล้ว +439

    Long distance flights are quite funny when flerfs are attempting to explain it. They are still trying regardless of tons of evidence. One pilot (maybe not just him, but I know about him for sure) going by the name Wolfie6020 here on YT even offered to pay for the flight tickets for a flat Earther to experience such flight by themselves and in the end the offer was taken by another TH-camr - Greater Sapiens and he not only flown the flight from Australia to South Africa (Qantas QF63), but he also recorded the whole flight on camera and on GPS tracker, created a video of it and published the tracker data. He even captured the Sun "going backwards" for some time as the plane was south enough for its surface speed be higher than the linear rotation speed of Earth there. Flat Earthers pretend this doesn't exist or it is somehow a trick or "CGI" or whatever other ad-hoc excuse they can pull out of their rear ends. You can hear excuses like: the flights actually never really happen, planes are not possible to track as they disappear from tracking apps, jet streams are so fast, it is possible to compensate for the extra distance. Which only demonstrates they have no clue and or are desperate in their "nu-uhh la-la-la-la Earth is flat" reality denial. But they'll try anyway.

      People who board a plane are teleported to an identical plane at a destination airport and implanted with false memories of the "flight". Which is why flights really take time, they have copy and destroy and then recreate all of the passengers at the new location complete with fake memories of the "flight" plus the memories of the original. So not only do "flights" never happen they are also essentially mass murder. This technology has been kept from the public because there would be mass civil unrest (and rejection of fast and cost effective international travel which the modern world relies on) if people knew how it really works, so they created the phony story about "airlines".

Whether or not it's a force is debatable, but it does exist everywhere in the universe, and magic is just a term that describes that which is poorly understood, which gravity happens to be a good example of.
      As for 4-dimensional stuff, we regularly make 4-dimensional measurements. "The corner of 4th street and 23rd avenue, 7th floor at 4pm tomorrow" is a complete, if imprecise, 4-dimensional coordinate. What we know from Einstein's General Relativity and experimental evidence is that gravity has an interaction with all 4 of those components in some way.

The alternative is to add a new dimension (3rd in the case of Earth, 5th in the case of relativity) to curve into or out of yielding what appeared to be strange distortions in the lower dimensions.

My experience is that flat earthers don't believe in their ideas intellectually; they believe in them emotionally. As such, they don't actually want to look too closely at their model for fear that it won't hold up. It's like a set of parents raising a kid, and Dad knows Mom had an affair before the kid was born. Dad wants the kid to be his and is 70% sure it is, but he won't actually get a DNA test because he'd rather be 70% certain he's right than 100% certain he's wrong.

So assuming this happens at a constant speed, everyone aborad air planes which travel about 400-500 km/h would smash against their seats or the back of the plane because of the speed. Since this doesn't obviously happen and you can walk freely on plane, it must mean that the appearance of the downward pulling force would have to come from the earth being in a constantly accelerating motion of about 9.81 m/s^2 which is the gravity acceleration, aka the acceleration thag things falling gain.

      Last week I had one explain to me than gravity was because of the 100v/m electric field of earth (which, ok, exists), so I took two metal plate, an old PC power supply and created an upward field of around 300v/m and thew thing in it to see if they would float up...
      And he just started insulting me and yelling that I was stuck in a religious belief.

    There's a 747 pilot who has a channel called 74gear. He works for a charter company and has invited flat earthers to get together and charter a 747 and he'll fly them from the US to Santiago, then to Sydney, passing over the edge of Antartica on a great circle route. He invites them to time each leg of the flight, and to station observers at the airports to see which direction he departs and arrives in. IIRC, the plane can take about 400 passengers. Nobody has approached him yet, AFAIK.

    I have a much simpler test, which is right up your street.
    Go to Glasgow [ approx 56 deg N ], set up a camera [ video, or long exposure still ] on a tripod at about 55 deg to the horizon, & point it roughly in the direction indicated by the north point on a compass needle. Leave it to run for an hour or so after nightfall.
    Everyone will agree that you will see a series of concentric part circles, centred very close to a single point of light [ Polaris ]. The stars are seen to rotate counter-clockwise. Even flat earthers will not deny that. It proves the stars rotating in 'the Firmament'.
    Now, take exactly the same apparatus down to Cape Horn Island [ or the tip of Tierra Del Fuego, to save a little cost]. The latitudes are 56 deg S & 55S. Point the tripod in the direction of the southern needle of the compass. ( Flat earthers will baulk at this, because there IS no 'South Pole' on their map, it is smeared out to a circle by their use of a north polar centric gnomonic projection ). Simply use the direction of the balancing counterweight opposite the north point on their compass.
    Now, can you see 'Polaris'? Oh dear. Start the filming process exactly as before.
    The result will be VERY similar to before, except that there is no Polaris star near the centre, although the stars of the 'Southern Cross' surround it.
    And, what's more, this time the stars rotate CLOCKWISE.
    Try explaining that on a flat earth, & then on a globe.
    To really push the boat out, have two observers, making the observations simultaneously, so that flat earthers will have to explain not just stars rotating about a non-existent point in space, but stars 'rotating in The Firmament' in two different directions, depending upon where viewed from the surface of the plane.

    • @chassetterfield9559
      @chassetterfield9559 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @@TheWombat2012 I wouldn't put it past them certainly. That would 'work' for the two people making simultaneous measurements, if one of them has a personal dome that rotates clockwise, & the other has a dome that rotates counter. I would go along with the notion that what you perceive, and what I perceive can be labelled the same, by convention; just as I don't know what you perceive as 'red', it might be what I perceive as 'green', but we both agree to call it 'red'. That's a bit of philosophy that might keep Descartes awake at night. We could both agree to call one perceived direction of rotation 'clockwise' & the other 'counter clockwise', even if what we actually perceived was opposites; but there is an independent arbiter, in the form of a mechanical clock, and I'm sure my clock rotates the same way as yours ( Unless you've got one of those deliberately 'backwards' clocks ).
      So, back to one person making both measurements a couple of weeks apart.
      Why should my 'personal dome' rotate one way when I'm standing in Scotland, and the other way when I'm standing in Tierra Del Fuego? And, what are those southern stars rotating around, and where has Polaris gone?
      By extension, if my 'personal dome' rotates counter-clockwise in Scotland, and clockwise in TDF, there must be some point where it becomes stationary, before starting to spin the other way. The Equator would be a good bet So if I set up my apparatus on the equator, I should see my personal dome stationary. I've not seen the pictures, but I would guess that far from seeing a stationary star field, I would see straight star trails going from horizon to horizon, with sets of very slightly curved tracks either side, curving in opposite directions. Flat earthers will dismiss that as an 'artefact of the lens'.
      But anyway, ALL of my observations can be predicted, simultaneously, by one simple model of a rotating spherical Earth. The 'Discworld' [ no offence to Sir Terry Pratchett RIP ] requires 'personal domes' that people drag around with themselves, and which start, stop, & start again in opposite direction, depending where I stand.

      Well some might argue that's why they don't go exactly over the pole but miss it by a few degrees, or a fraction of a degree. They wouldn't want all the satellites at the same altitude coming to that point at the same time and colliding if it was exact. As for the South Pole being a very long circumference and not a point, that should mean there's room for thousands of South Pole science bases from all the countries who want one, not just one at a point.

Problem solved. Even a special-ed first-grader can grasp it.
      So if the flat-Earther continues to assert that the Earth is very obviously flat even with these observations, you may be assured they are knowingly lying, and tell them so to their face.

      @@steveerickson938 Arguably there's something even more obvious, which is that if the Sun moves in a circle above the flat plane of the Earth, it should be impossible for it to set below the horizon. Even with the bullshit flat earthers say about the Sun somehow shining down on just a portion of the Earth (a larger one on the Southern Hemisphere, too!), it should never be able to touch the horizon, because that would mean the Sun is in direct contact with the Earth. Ancient people could get away with this by believing in a finite flat disc and by not knowing about time zones.

      I actually have a legitimate question about this. How far off from the equator do you need to be to make this visible? If I’m 100 feet on one side or the other, does that change the direction?

    I’ve actually taken the Sydney-Johannesburg flight. It didn’t take twice as long as a Los Angeles-Sydney flight, as it would based on the FE map. In fact, both flights were quite similar in length (within an hour or two, if I’m remembering correctly). Given the fuel range of long-haul aircraft and the speed at which they travel, it would not be possible to fly from Australia to South Africa without stopping to refuel, plus make the journey as quickly as the L.A.-Sydney flight.
    I’ve pointed this out to flerfers - as well as pointing out the Souther Star’s stationary position as the other stars in the Southern Hemisphere rotate in a circle around it. Things I’ve done or seen myself. Things anyone can do or see if they are able to travel. I get told that I’m lying. One person told me that they fill the airplane with some knock-out gas to put everyone to sleep so we’re not aware how long we’re in the air and we miss the landing for refueling. That’s a great hypothesis except for the fact that clocks when we arrive say we’ve only been in the air for 16 hours or whatever it was. Did the rest of the world stop their clocks just to fool us?
    Nothing is more hilarious to me than watching a flerfer test these things and discover that the results match the globe model. Seeing them attempt to reason their way out of the easily replicated results is the best part.

      No. Because sphere's don't have a top and a bottom. Australia is known as the Land Down Under purely to mess with your head.
