I honestly found the intro a bit Eurocentric. Statements like "84%...nobody thought the Earth was flat...medieval times...Christopher Columbus.."
How about mentioning other civilizations in the Americas, Africa, and Middle, South and East Asia? How did WE all think about this?
BTW, no scientist who sends rockets to the moon and the planets believe the Earth is flat.
Yeah I don't understand it either and there's no point in arguing about it just like religious people they are utterly convinced that they are right and nothing anyone says can change their mind look at the Sun put some glasses on if you do it looks like a sphere to me look at the moon when it's full it looks like a ball to me looks round there is a way that you can prove that the Earth is round maybe expensive but you could charter a plane just keep flying West landing to refuel and rest and if you end up in the same place you took off from say Florida then that should be proof enough to anyone that the Earth is round
okayyy dzaddy johhny

Right at the 3:46 mark the level is not dead center. The front of the plane is indeed tilted upward.

From the cockpit of an SR71, I can assure you we are on a globe.
How so?
@@tiREV55 These are my guesses as a Cessna privet pilot: SR71 flies so high that the sky above looks black and you can see the thin layer of blue air below you. I'm not sure if the curvature can be seen from that hight. But SR71 can fly faster than Earth rotates, so you can see Sun rising from west if you fly west. In flat earth model the sun never rises or sets.
You would have difficulty the explaining how from the cockpit, and every other point of vision in a plane, the higher you go the horizon actually continues to rise to eye level when on a globe it should be dropping away below you
@@2000vph "But SR71 can fly faster than Earth rotates, so you can see Sun rising from west if you fly west" Intriguing! Is that a fact or a guess, as you initially wrote?
How is Earth's rotation actually influencing air travel and flight times?
@@kaptainkrampus2856 Blackbirds cruising speed was about 3500 km/h and even at the equator Earth rotates only about 1650 km/h so you should easily outrun Earth. I think even Concorde did this. If your time of departure was at noon from London, it was still morning in NY at the time of arrival. Earth rotation must be accounted in some old school navigation methods like using a gyroscope. I don't know if they ever flow over Antarctic with Blackbirds but it would be easy task. Something that is impossible according to flerters.
You’re using a level on a plane to prove your theory… you’re on a plane… how does this make sense? 🤦🏼♀️

This has gotta be the most copy and pasted comment of all time
I really think the last part of the video is the most meaningful and spot on. A lot of people today who don't believe ANY of what mainstream media says fall into the group of people who feel they need to see everything with their own eyes to believe it.
No, we've just been lied to so often, so now we test ALL things. "Satan deceivith the whole world"
That one quote ended up being way more true than I first imagined.
It's easier to deceive than to convince someone they have been deceived.
@@randomtruth2176Curious to understand how anyone benefits from lying about the shape of the earth….I mean, if it was flat and the governments of the world were trying to hide it, wouldn’t anyone who believed in it get silenced and platforms like TH-cam get shut down?
That doesn't apply to flat Earthers, their claims are merely excuses they tell themselves. They they ignore what they see with their own eyes is demonstrated by the nonsense they invent to explain how the Sun appears to set.
@@randomtruth2176 "It's easier to deceive than to convince someone they have been deceived."
As you've so aptly demonstrated (assuming that you're a flerfer.)
@davidmescher2526 I was referring to the part where we should believe anything the mainstream media pushes. They are all propaganda networks. Does that mean everything they say is a lie? Nope! That's not how propaganda works.
Are you saying we shouldn't test all things? Or rather just blindly believe those who are "authority" figures.
Yes, I'm a biblical cosmology believer. Or rather KNOWER. It took years to realize that. Before that, I believed like you and even mocked the idea. Then, I pushed the topic until only one side was left standing. There's now millions of us. No longer a small taboo idea. Don't expect most to understand. They haven't put in the time.
Appreciate the quality and presentation of the video, thought provoking, entertaining keep up the good work
Flat Earthers watching their YT videos...on Smartphones....that rely on mobile data and GPS...wich uses satelites around the earth...to proof that the earth is flat. xD

If the earth was flat wouldn't the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs make a big ass hole in this "flat" earth?
yeah, but the "Donut-earth theory" doesn't sound like a theory anybody could take seriously, so they cover up the fact that the hole exists, wich would be ironic...if they could understand irony
That’s were the flat earths jump when they find it thats why there population is decreasing
I believe a lot of flat earthers are also young earth creationist, as the flat earth hypothesis is supported by the bible. Which would mean they don't believe there was any asteroid
It would leave a hole in earth regardless and if the earth is round how could we stand on it? We never even been to space u have real astronauts exposing all this shit
The asteroid would flip the disc and launch the dinosaurs into space
A leveler is designed to find the center of gravity. Gravity is pulling everything toward the center of earth. Therefore, the plane seeking the center of gravity will always stay level, hence, a straight line.
Well you sure got that wrong but I'll offer you a $1000 if you could explain to me( the scientific explanation) gravity
@@jaksonvice807 A plane stays at a specific altitude (distance from land) so when a plane is going from place to place it will fly in the same spherical shape of the planet.....
@@wolfy3885 uh huh
@@jaksonvice807 mass distorts the 3-dimensional space-time continuum. The greater the mass, the greater the distortion. Such that even the largest living organisms exert no noticeable gravity, but celestial bodies (ranging in size from the moon or smaller to the largest stars like Stephenson-218 and other celestial bodies like neutron stars and black holes) distort space-time so that planets orbit around the centre of the gravity well. If they didn't orbit (i.e. no momentum), they would plummet directly towards the centre of the gravity well and collide with it. So anything that had no momentum to orbit, was long since removed. Gravity is the weakest known force, we only notice it with celestial bodies because they are so massive.
@@kevininglesant2514 gravity is still hypothetical technically or I guess I could say theoretical to some degree however what really holds things together is God Himself ! that's coming from a man that science led to become a theist from being an evolutionist, atheist, Democrat, full circle to the Truth! think you can handle that for a change? are you still going to be trusting man and his nonsense? In other words everything came from nothing?

Nah flath earth 🌎🤣 stuff the stup
Yes
Any object is *right-side-up* relative to the surface of the earth no matter where you stand on the planet, but if you're looking at an object planted on the surface of the earth BUT you're looking at it while positioned in outer space, it's a different story. Space does not have a right-side-up or upside-down, left or right perspective, it's just *"from one point to the next point"*
I like what you did there.
Angle of attack has nothing to do with curvature. Also during accelleration and decelleration the bubble in the spirit level will be affected. So even if the bubble moves, it proves absolutely nothing.
Nice point man
Say your sorry for hurting their feelings. Its not nice to be right.
You are absolutely correct. Also, due to AOA, the nose will always point slightly up and not level at all, meaning the argument of flying level is also BS.
I think for me the sadddest part about this is the large number of people who have never been trained how to correctly apply critical thinking and data analysis skills properly in the world today. Many would not be flat earthers if they had developed this skills correctly.
Instead they know that they want to question science which is awesome and a required thing to do but they don’t have the skills to ask the correct questions to get the right answers. Hopefully as time goes by are skills in these areas improve and we move past this idiotic nonsense

I'm not saying flat earthers have coming sense and I'm not saying you do either. The flat earthers are on one polar end, you on the other. You are so willing to accept what you're told, you could be susceptible to a huge "official lie.". And more likely than not already have been. The flat earthers are so distrustful of the "official" narrative that they reject it all.
I find myself somewhere in-between. I only believe what I can see. My discerning brain realizes how easily a giant lie can be perpetuated by media. Media is the record of history. When you want the info from a day in history in a certain place, newspaper is the record for centuries. A simple lie in print can be historical record. We have a big media problem and I hope future generations will see this era as a mud pit of information/misinformation.

Also why does the moon appear upside down in Australia compared to the US?
I've lived in a few places in my life but the main ones have been the UK and secondly New Zealand.

So imagine my delight to see Orion appearing to be upside down, from my usual perspective, while walking out on my first clear night in NZ.

One of my favorites is the plumb bob. Two people each with a plumb bob, one stands on the equator the other on the north pole. You, the observer, take a point in space where you can see both of the plumb lines clearly (use instruments if you must) and observe that one is perpendicular to the other. The north pole person walks towards the equatorial guy. When they meet, the lines are parallel. At all times, the plumb line was pointed to the center of the earth. Same results with a spirit level. And that, dear Daryl is why your plane flies level.
Flat Earthers' so-called experiments remind me of my own cutting edge experiment to prove that there are more than one moon when I was 8. Here's how I did it: I went to my house's backyard and I saw the moon. Then, I went to my neighbor's backyard and guess what, I saw another one! Conclusion: there must be at least 2 moons. Genius.

What ALWAYS gets me, is when a grown adult uses a toy plane with a beach ball and with 100% certainty (and a dash of arrogance) says *planes can’t fly upside down*
That was just so stupid! He is using a plane, half the size of the globe he's using!!🤣🤣 and the guy using the leveler thing on the plane (the black guy) to "prove" it's flat...omgosh!!🤦♀️ Does he not realize that if the plane flew with the nose tilting down, it would fly right into the ocean?? I'm no mathematician but even I know that!!🤦♀️
And calls people ''Globe Hugger'' Lmao.
There's so many things that wouldn't/couldn't be if Earth were anything other than a globe; it's ridiculous.🤷♂️
What you globe huggers are missing is that the round earth theory was created by time traveling aliens 3,000 years ago who wanted to invade Afghanistan wearing their Bush and Blair masks. They wanted a way of covering up their upside down planes.
What always gets me is the harness set ups that supposedly prove zero gravity.
Actually the bubble you show while within the limits of level was usually tilted more to one side. When I pitch drain lines the bubble touching the line gives me a 1/4” / foot. I’ve honestly never believed that the Earth was flat just wanted to point that out
Nice video, thank you for that.
Those people who believe flat earth just can’t digest the shear size of the earth, taking a small global and a toy plane and comparing it with the actual thing is ridiculous..
They say the earth's curve is every 8 miles squared. 16 miles. A normal airplane flying is 550-580 MPH. If you divide it into minutes. Which is 9.17 mpm (Miles Per Minute) meaning you will travel 9.17 miles a minute, and lets just round to 9 miles. So that would be 72 inches for the entire 9 miles. So the plane SHOULD dip down quite a bit. 72 inches in that single minute. Which would make flying impossible. It doesn't do that. Why? There isn't the curve you guys are talking about. There is A curve, but it's way higher than a normal commercial airplane.
Arkzy I'm guessing you dont understand how gravity works then, it isn't something pulling you DOWN but rather the force of attraction between TWO objects. Comparing a plane with the earth is like comparing a grain of sand to a building.
@@prodarkzy That's because the wings generate a certain amount of lift with a certain speed, since the atmosphere hugs the earth (relatively) evenly and gravity is constant that means going a fixed speed will generate enough lift to keep you at the same rough altitude as you travel across the sphere of the earth.
Even if you can't accept that, flying it a "straight" line over 2000 miles would only be a height difference of 1333 feet, considering that the average long distance flight flies at 34,000 feet, this isn't that noticeable.
2000 miles * 8 inches = 16,000 inches / 12 inches = 1333.33333 feet
Even with the longest ever non-stop commercial flight, New York to Sydney, which was 10,066 miles would have a drop of only 6710 feet, which would easily be correctable, or even doable, considering that that plane could easily go up to 45000 feet above sea level.

The level shows nothing, because that's not how gravity works. But even if it did work the way the flat earthers describe, this test would actually be proving them wrong. In order to maintain altitude, planes have to fly slightly nose-up. So if the earth were flat and the plane remained truly level it would be constantly descending and crash into the ocean. Now. This "test" doesn't actually show anything because it is based on a misunderstanding of gravity and it's a dollar store bubble level on a folding, plastic tray. Anyone who's tried to set a drink down in a plane knows for a fact that those trays are anything but level.

Except that doesn’t explain why we stop seeing it given that it’s supposedly a few thousand miles above us, so they have to deny that the sun equally emits light in all directions. Instead it must be some sort of spotlight sun. Except it’s really extremely easy to test whether or not the sun is a spotlight and it’s not? Or that if you compare sunlight density it will be greatest around the equator (depending on time of year) and change with the seasons, which are all explained so eloquently by a globe and so mind-numbingly stupidly by all the competing flat earth models for each phenomenon, which can’t even be reconciled with each other much less predict anything

Ok. Real life pilot here. For one, the nose is never dipped down to follow any curvature. To maintain a positive lift and stay at altitude, you need something called positive AOA (angle of attack). Angle of attack is the angle between your wings chord line and the relative airflow coming towards it. The incidence angle (the angle of the wings attached to the frame), the aircraft construction method in general (like anhedral or dihedral wing construction), engine placement etc. will determine just how much your nose will have to dip or rise to maintain its lift for a given speed.
As you lower your speed, if you wish to maintain altitude, you have to increase your AOA. As you go faster, the opposite is true. Either way, you will always maintain a slight nose up during flight. You rely on the immediate air around you to stay up there.
As you fly at 450 knots true airspeed at 35 000 feet, your forces are balanced. A glass of wine (and a spirit level), will remain level. Trying to measure angles or levels in an airplane with a spirit level, is useless. Bringing the aircraft out of balance (uncomfortable for the pax) will yield a result for sure.
If a plane has to "dip" to follow the curvature, then a plane flying on a flat Earth would have to keep turning L or R to fly "straight" around a flat Earth.
I await with amusement for all the flat earthers to come on and tell you that you're lying, 'cos it said so in a youtube video they watched.

@American Restoration Initiative Yeah, yeah, keep taking the medication
You people do not seem to realize that if earth is round (it is!!) it is no more relevant to say "the nose must dip to go around the curve", than it is to say "the nose must rise to go over that crown in the terrain ahead of me". That 10 miles of terrain ahead of you has a 200 inch hump in the middle of it that you must rise up to go over. (-; (-;

Hi, the correct British English pronunciation of Cambridgeshire is "Kaym-bridg-sher" and not "Kaym-bridg-shy-er"
The "Shire" in Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" is indeed pronounced as "shy-er" when it is used independently and not as a suffix as in Cambridgeshire.
*So, Cambridgeshire is correctly pronounced as "Kaym-bridg-sher" and not "Kaym-bridg-shy-er".
Whereas "Shire" is correctly pronounced as "shy-er" when used independently and not as a suffix.
Just because My pool is level on the surface doesn't mean the floor of it isn't getting gradually deeper. To truly test that you would need to measure from the bottom of the ocean floor.
If you're on an airplane and the level indicates that the plane's nose is diving, you have more important things to worry about XD
A team of scientists will never have proof of the spirit level dipping because the government would order the plane to nosedive and crash

Growing up in Europe, I was taught Columbus took his trip because he thought it would be faster to reach India going around westward. Which was he thought he had reached India, and called the natives Indians.
Yes, I believe that the question wasn't if the earth was round, it was a debate about the circumference of the earth. The size of the planet was pretty well known by the time of the library of Alexandria in Egypt. Using simple measurements that we are taught in basic training in the Army. If you know the distance between 2 points, you can figure out the distance between a third point. I believe that Columbus had messed up his calculations by not properly converting Roman miles and Egyptian miles correctly. He was just lucky that their happened to be a whole unknown continent or else he and his crew would have starved before they reached the Indies. Also he had tried to convince the naval powers in Europe to fund his expedition and all of them had laughed him out the door, because everyone was fairly confident how big the earth was, the only country that was willing to throw him a few dollars was a very new country that was desperate to counter Portugal's recent successes in exploring the coast of Africa, and even they weren't willing to give him much money. They were pretty certain that he was going on a fools errand.
By the time of Columbus - everyone knew that the earth was a sphere. It was even the official Catholic dogma (because God wanted the Earth to be perfect and round shapes are perfect).

Scepticism requires retesting and re-evaluating evidence then accepting the conclusion, not rejecting all evidence as fake, ignoring the results of your own experiments, and even rejecting basic geometric concepts. Flat Earthers need to believe they're the actual smart ones and scepticism is just an excuse they tell themselves.
That experiment with the level has one big fallacy. Although the plane is level doesn't mean the plane is not changing altitude! YOU HAVE TO CHECK THE ALTITUDE OF THE PLANE, NOT THE ANGLE OF THE NOSE. Some planes will display the altitude on the LCD panel in front of you. Also, a constant altitude doesn't mean the earth is flat. It's a bad experiment.
They are confusing "proof" with their own logical fallacy. They are not "disproving" existing science, they are showing they don't understand existing science.

Light refraction was fun to learn about in physics. I just have a physics 101 level of knowledge of this, but it makes sense right?
Airplanes maintain altitude. Depending on the make and model of the aircraft and how it’s loaded, how much fuel is in it you may be level or nose up or nose down in cruise. Dude brings a level into an airplane and actually tries to outsmart hundreds of years of progress and science because he watched a couple TH-cam videos.
If I were to set out to prove the Earth is flat, I'd go to the sea where we know water tries to lay as flat as possible. But wait, at the sea, you can actually see the curvature of the earth as you approach land, since land appears to be rising from the sea as you approach it.
I have yet to meet a flat earther in person but there's one experiment I want to try on them if I meet them. Take a smooth object that they can look at and at feel and have them declare that it's smooth. Then put it under a microscope so they can see all of the bumps and deformations that are on it. It's all about relative scale. A curved object, if massive enough, can appear flat. Just as a smooth object, when zoomed in close enough, will no longer appear smooth.
Or just ask them.
