Response to Globebusters - The Earth Still Isn't Flat

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 พ.ค. 2024
- Last week I posted a video about how we know the Earth is round, from the perspective of modern astronomy. The Flat Earth community did not like it one bit, and the channel "Globebusters" decided to talk for three hours on their livestream about how stupid my video is, and how stupid I am. I didn't really appreciate that, so I decided to make a video about their video to illustrate precisely how little they know about science, and to further reinforce how utterly absurd the Flat Earth "model" is, as well as some of the finer points about the conspiracy. Enjoy!

This was awesome !!!
99% of the flat earther's arguments are: I dont understand this therefore it must be impossible
Completely ignoring the fact that you would have to understand it to know if it was impossible.
or "i don't understand this but i'll still use it as proof to support my bullshit" like timezones, airlines and light refraction. They don't understand a single thing they're talking about and that's why they're so convinced of all this.
99% of religious people, we cannot explain this, therefore god
That's not the basis of religion at all. Ironically, you've taken the flat earther approach to understanding religion. "I don't have the information, therefore it must be this". Religion is based on proven community guidelines that have preserved successful culture for thousands of years. Also, just to be clear. There are literally hundreds of thousands of historic records of the existence of Jesus Christ. Was he God in the form of a human? Who knows, but everybody alive at the time certainly seemed to think so. Ask yourself this... What year is it? That should give you a little more perspective on the cultural importance of religion.
@@harrydavey9884 no there isn’t.
Two flat earth engineers were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking at its top. A sphericist walked by and asked what they were doing.
"We're supposed to find the height of this flagpole," said a flat earther, "but we don't have a ladder."
The sphericist took a wrench from a bag, loosened a couple of bolts, and laid the pole down on the ground.
The sphericist took a tape measure from the bag, took a measurement and announced, "Twenty one feet, six inches," and walked away.
One flat earther shook his head and laughed, "Typical sphericist ! We ask for the height and the sphericist gives us the length!"

How to be flat earther
1. Dont graduate elementry
2. Say science does not actually exsist
3. Make up random stuff
4. When counter-argued againt made-up stuff, say what they are saying is silly
5. Think your correct and always correct even againt indisputible evidence

I actually was a flat earther for 4 years. Then I turned five.
LOL thats funny you're calling the flat earthers dumbass 3 year olds that cant think

Nice
for some reason ive never had the thought that the earth was flat, it felt wrong to me that it wasnt, a globe.
It feels like any flat earther will try to use only a single equation or law of physics at a time when trying to explain how they "understand" what they're saying, when in reality all of physics is happening at the exact same time. The laws of physics are not taking turns acting on the universe. Love your content Dave.
no flat earther has ever used any equation correctly
they don't even understand the difference between rotational and linear motion
Funny how he's basically explaining basic physics to a bunch of 40 year old men
So funny it's sad.

Best comment I've seen here.
I've heard flerfers cite electromagnetism a number of times, proposing it as an alternative to gravity, and yet none of them seem to have bothered to try building an anti-gravity device, which should be very easy to do if their hypothesis is correct.
Come on guys! World's easiest Nobel prize just waiting for you.
Never mind the Nobel prize, the US military would fund Boeing to hire you with a full aircraft lab. You'd be swimming in money as well as praise. Generating an electromagnetic field is a lot simpler than generating lift with wings and jet engines. Even if the result performs worse than jet fighters, militaries need transport aircraft that are much easier to maintain, can have multiple engines for failsafe, and doesn't melt decks with Osprey jet exhaust. This is the kind of technological advantage the US seeks. The US military would kill, literally, to get such an engine built for them.

Yes, if there are any limits to human stupidity I'd like to know what they are!
The disc accelerating upwards is also a stupid model because if the flat earth is constantly accelerating at 9.8m/s^2 then we would hit the speed of light on the 354th day.
Nope! It would get closer and closer to the speed of light but never actually reach it, after any amount of time. This is because of the way special relativity (which imposes the "light speed limit" in the first place) works. What you said only works if we ignore special relativity, which is sometimes fine to do when making approximations in the non-relativistic limit, but in this case we are very much working in the relativistic limit so ignoring special relativity will give wildly inaccurate results (such as a speed greater than lightspeed, as you have found). Don't get me wrong, the earth is definitely not a flat disk constantly accelerating in one direction at 1g, there are many flaws with this "model", but "the earth would eventually reach light speed" is not one of them.
@@extravagantpanda7962 I see. But even if we don't reach light speed, wouldn't travelling around the universe at 99.999999% the speed of light cause some visible changes? For example, is the solar system moving with us? Is the moon moving with us? How are constellations not changing on a per day basis if we are moving this fast across the universe.
@@flamingburritto you're not going to get a useful answer to those questions here, because the answers are too complex for this primitive forum.
but the answers are well known
@@flamingburritto Oh for sure there are plenty of problems with the idea. It basically only makes any sense at all if you concede that are no planets, moons, stars, etc., it's all just lights on a dome above the earth (flat earthers already believe this nonsense anyway...). Then the earth would just be accelerating into empty space, so you wouldn't have to worry about whether the rest of the solar system etc. is traveling with the earth. This is obviously absurd though. There's probably 1000 problems with this "theory" lol, I was just pointing out that your initial calculation doesn't account for relativity and that the earth would never actually reach light speed after any amount of time.
My big question is - if the Earth is flat and therefore must have 2 sides, what's on the other side ? Why has no one explored it yet?
the other side is where the evil democrat jew nazi lizards lair is and that's why they lie to us about the earth

To me, it seems like he was generalizing, giving the most straightforward answer possible so people could understand easily. As you said, almost everyone knows about air resistance. So obviously that would affect the experiment. But the baseline thing he was trying to explain is that you still gain the momentum, but he never said other forces cannot affect that momentum. He was generalizing. And also to be fair, it's not like he was actually giving them a detailed guide on what to do, because chances are, they would ignore it completely and choose to keep believing what they believe anyway.
The model of a pickup truck is purely a visualization in which the environment is perfect, such as him adding that the truck needs to stay at the exact same speed the entire time. Of course other phenomenon happen, but it's not worth going through them if it isn't needed. Air resistance doesn't directly refute the overall point he was making.
And as I was saying, I don't understand what 'side' you are taking? You are nitpicking at one little detail that isn't hard to explain. The majority of people don't see something that someone missed or didn't mention and immediately attribute that to the person not understanding the concept of said thing. It is much more likely that he knows about it, and he just didn't mention it for the purpose of simplicity.
Hope that makes sense? Sorry if I seemed rude throughout this explanation.

VFX is the integration of digital elements into live-action footage.

@@countchoculitis1528 This was very insightful,thank you for your post.
I love how their argument boils down to: “fuckin magnets, how do they work.”
Without a spinning nickel/iron core in the centre of a sphere there can be no earth's magnetic field. And with no magnetic field there is no North Pole or South Pole. There is no navigation by compass because there is no North Pole for the compass needle to point to. So magnetism requires a sphere. End of.
@@petergaskin1811 More specifically, magnetism requires a rapidly rotating sphere or oblate spheroid with a flowing liquid mantle around a solid iron core exciting electrons in order to generate and emit that magnetic field. Mars has a liquid iron/nickel core, and technically that core spins with the planet. That said, it has no liquid mantle and thus has no magnetic field. While the mantle of mars may be hot enough to be ductile or even flow, it doesn't flow with enough intensity to excite electrons in and near the liquid metal. Without this, it won't emit an electromagnetic field. This field would deflect solar radiation and protect the gaseous atmosphere. In the absence of a strong magnetic field, there is no protection for the gaseous atmosphere. Which is why it has very little atmosphere.
I feel kinda dumb cuz I actually never knew how magnets worked and I felt too embarrassed to ask anyone or even Google it just because I was scared of being discovered for not knowing how magnets worked. Thankfully I finally had the tldr version in a comment lol

As a new zealander/kiwi, I can confirm we have a massive military budget that is about a third of the US military budget, and its sole reason is for guarding 1 third of the south Antarctic wall. Reason being that we are one of the closest and are part of the antartic treaty. Its a hefty job but pays super well. 😊

Another question: how does the entirety of Antarctica experience a month of light at the same time as the Arctic experiences a month of darkness and vice versa?

youre confused the the arctic, it happens because the earth is slightly slanted upward

i just realised that the sun on the flat earth model is so close to earth but the globebusters also completely disregarded the other planets in the solar system, like there's a twin sun keeping everything in place or something

10 year old after seeing a TikTok post on flat earth: *I AM ALL KNOWING, NO HUMAN UNDERSTANDS PHYSICS MORE THAN I*
One question I always have about these flat earth "here's how it could work if the sun moved THIS way" models is that they never explain WHY the sun moves that way, just that it HAS to if the Earth is flat. Nevermind everything else wrong with this model, I guess it all works because the sun just....DECIDES to act in a way that would simulate (or maybe imitate) a gravitational, heliocentric, spherical Earth model. And it does it so perfectly that we were mathematically able to predict it with such precision as to apparently incorrectly conclude that the Earth is not flat. When in reality, the sun and moon are tied to...I don't know...a giant invisible space ceiling fan that spins them around.
oh, i like to joke that the sun and moon are moved around by magical horses, like in the "my little pony" cartoons.
How are they using terms like "HemiSPHERE" and "AtmoSPHERE" while trying to imply that the earth is FLAT ?!

It's been 4 years but I think one thing that really says a lot is that they self-reference quite often. Generally self-referencing is pretty bad because you're effectively assuming everything you say is accurate and that your experiments were also accurate, while using both to prove tangentially or entirely unrelated hypothesis. And this is different from continuing previous research, where you're either building on it or using it to test a theory about a directly related topic.
TLDR they self reference and therefore lose credibility.

I failed physics but wow, these people really make me feel a lot better about my own intelligence
edit: After a little over a year I feel it's worth mentioning that this was during the pandemic. I suffered from a pretty bad depressive episode and lost a lot of motivation to do well in school, and this class was the one that affected me the most. Normally I really enjoy science, but a bad teacher can certainly ruin a potentially enjoyable subject and crush your hopes and dreams about anything remotely concerning it. The physics teacher I had wasn't a good person and his teaching style was very incompatible with mine. I wasn't on a 504 or IEP, but it wouldn't have mattered anyways because my friends who have accomodations for their learning disabilities/chronic health issues who had his class mentioned that he didn't give accomodations and believed them to be unfair to other students. Obviously you are LEGALLY REQUIRED to offer accomodations for students who are eligible for them. I'm not too sure what the hell he was thinking, nor how he had been teaching for a past decade whilst thinking of all of the other past students who needed accomodations but never got them.
In fact, he was so unempathetic during remote learning that he kept his already strict standards for grading. Many other classes had tried to make their grading more lenient because people had been struggling during remote learning, but him? Oh hell no. He failed nearly a quarter-third of our graduating class, and while I get that physics is a difficult subject, if a disproportionate amount of kids are failing your class or are even trying to purposefully avoid doing your work knowing how it wouldn't matter, there is a reason for that.
There are other reasons why I *mildly dislike* my freshman year physics teacher: like I said, he wasn't a good person and he openly complained about his middle son in front of class and often used his children as frames of reference to compare our work to his. For context, I live in Massachusetts and we are required to take MCAS, which is our version of standardized testing, and pass it in order to graduate. If you score in an advanced range in all of your subjects, then you are eligible for a John and Abigail Adams Scholarship which provides tuition for up to eight semesters for undergraduate education in a Massachusetts state school. He made it a point that his other children had gotten the scholarship, except for his middle son. On a surface level, this just seems like something that was mentioned in passing, but it revealed a lot about him to me. Normally you shouldn't use your children as frames of reference for comparing your students' work to them. This was also what I only witnessed during the times I bothered to pay attention in his class; people in other classes had talked about how he'd call his middle son a disappointment.
I went on a bit of a tangent there, as this was supposed to be more as to why I got a less than ideal grade in freshman physics, but it's something I feel very strongly about.
Of course, I can't deny that my depressive episode wasn't a factor as to why I didn't get a good grade, (My grade for the year was actually a D-,. but I failed one of the quarters) but before then I had been a straight-A honors student and I've worked very hard to try and get my GPA back up to what it was. I've been driven by a lot of spite to be more successful than my physics teacher, but I know I have to let it go eventually. Being a straight-A student gives students a bit of a complex, and I heavily dislike how the school system elicits such competition within students which leads to lots of stress. At that point, school isn't necessarily about learning anymore, it's just a reflection of how hard you can work and get a good grade as a result. Failing physics made me feel like shit about my intelligence for a long time, which is why I said "make me feel a lot better about my own intelligence" as if I didn't think of myself highly in that aspect.
So, moral of the story, if you are a teacher and you have a student that needs accomodations, FOLLOW THEM. Also, if you're a student and you have a crappy teacher, speak up about it with other people. Don't beat yourself up about your intelligence, as there are many other things that you excel at apart from that one subject you failed freshman year of highschool. If I can get through it, so can you.
Even if you failed a subject, you can still choose who's information about the subject you trust xD following the right people is a sign of intelligence as well, imo
Did you fail at equasions, or some harder theory, or what? Calculus/higher education is not for everyone. However, You know FACTSm such as planet curvature smakes you think that ship is going down into water. Or that In different hemispheres you see different starts rotating id different directions. Basic OBSERVATION. All it requires is simple LOGIC. Not some complex formulas to calculate values, etc...
@@Plusle843 Wow, you sound angry
@@Plusle843 to be fair, I was in a depressive slump while taking that class so it was difficult for me to focus and motivate myself to study lol. if I FORCED myself to pay attention then I could retain information, albeit for only a short period of time and since many subjects in physics overlap with each other, I kept struggling with it. I'd say I struggled both with the math portion and conceptual aspects of physics. it's just not my jam, I'm a lot better with biology and social sciences
@@Roozyj Where am I angry? I asked the guy where he failed. If he failed at harder courses there is no shame in that, difficult stuff is not for everyone.

Cause deep inside he knows he’s bullshite
There are definitely a number of the highest visible members of this "community" who know full well that what they're saying is untrue. But for whatever reason, they continue the narrative which others believe. My best hypothesis is there is a deep desire for notoriety, fame, or fortune that leads them to continue the lies, but little things like this still slip through when they aren't 100% focused on their false narrative.
Evidence of these clear lack of belief has been seen in many videos and interviews of the "leaders" of flat earthers in the form of deception tells that anyone who has studied microexpressions can easily identify.
@Ma Rk you should always ask for examples and data. Nothing wrong with this request at all. Let's go off of this video: th-cam.com/video/1gHbwT_R9t0/w-d-xo.html And I apologize for anything that may come across as misleading, as I don't want to put a dozen links here, but I'll list some timestamps for that video and the deceit expressions being shown and discuss the psychology behind those expressions.
1) 0 minutes, 25 seconds - this individual shows a classic deceit expression of small shakes of the head back and forth when they don't believe what they're saying (this can come in the form of complete opposite beliefs or just believing something they're saying is untrue).
2) 0 minutes, 40 seconds - leaning back, wide-eyed expression. Usually combined with a broad or outlandish statement, this is an attempt to override a feeling of absurdity. Similarly to when peoples' eyes will often go wide when they are shocked about something, this same trait is showing through during this man's claim.
3) 0 minutes, 52 seconds - looking up and to the right combined with a distraction/fidget action. This is either an attempt to make up a lie on the spot or remember a specific lie.
4) 1 minute, 7 seconds - this one is very small and very hard to catch if you're not looking for it, and you may need to replay several times. After the interviewer names the man as "father" of the movement, there is a micro raise of the left corner of his mouth (his left, not ours). This is a sign of an attempt to hide happiness or glee. Often times connected with the belief that they are getting away with something (although not always).
5) 1 minute, 17 seconds - repeat of #3.
6) 1 minute, 26 seconds - repeat of #3 (slightly harder to see, given the angle of the camera, but you can see his right eye movement from the profile view).
7) 2 minutes, 50 seconds - locked eye contact, intensified stare, slight lean forward of body position - this is less a deceit microexpression and more of a sales-pitch style psychology. The man is actively trying to engage the reporter in what he is discussing (alone, this would not be enough evidence to determine deceit. The individual could just be very determined.)
7) 2 minutes, 50 seconds - phrasing use. Initially throwing out easily agreeable ideas and at the end of the third concept (simple rule of three psychology), a twist is provided. In this case it's the added on "seems to be gravity" phrase at the end. And of course moved forward before a question to be asked about that choice of phrasing, so it stays connected to the agreed upon facts before it.
8) 3 minutes, 35 seconds - condescending smirk. You'll notice this when the camera cuts to his face after the man says "pretty sure" about how the Earth looks. This is a blatant deceit marker that isn't even small enough to be a microexpression. He fully believes that his lie is being believed.
9) 3 minutes, 36 seconds - inhibition of phrasing, shaking head while speaking affirmation. This is very common when someone suddenly feels they may have pushed too far with a lie. They walk it back, and then proceed to show the age old inversion of action and word. In this case, the continued "saying" that he agrees while his head shakes side to side, meaning no - he does not actually agree. This is one of the most common and easily visible deceit expressions.
10) Slightly off topic, but if you look at 5 minutes, 29 seconds for comparison, this man clearly believes everything he is saying. Of course this doesn't mean he's right about the information. But being wrong and lying are not the same thing. Compare and contrast his expressions, eye contact, and body language against the original primary interviewee, and you will see a great deal less forced engagement, worried eye movement, and contradictory expressions between words and body language.
These are just examples from an edited series of interviews. While I cannot say that based on this data specific individuals must believe as a whole whether or not the Flat Earth Movement is a sham, I can say for certain when individuals were and were not lying. That said - the more time you get to see someone, the more expressions you can pick out. And the ability to pick these out on the fly while talking with them is vastly harder than reviewing video recordings. So if anyone knows of a long-form interview with one of these or other individuals who are leaders in the Flat Earth Movement, I'd love to take a look and give my analysis and determinations!
Edited to make the time references more clearly separate from the video this comment is posted on, as they are referencing the video in the link at the top of this comment.
@The Infidel I mean, you're not wrong in general, but since all Flat Earth "models" have the North Pole at the center, then that determination doesn't actually fit?
@The Infidel on the off-chance you're not being wilfully obtuse. On a FE map of the world, Antartica is a ring at the circumference of the circle, not a region to the south (or bottom, if you like). So, from the FE perspective, you don't go *down* to Antartica, you go outward.
