Flat Earthers: OMFG THEY ADMIT IT
They just see what they want to see. They cling to the words "flat" in a document about flight simulation and ignore everything else. Their lazy research is a symptom of their flat earth indoctrination.
They'll only believe an organization if it tells them what they want to hear BUT it's in the form of a clue or puzzle that a toddler could solve (because toddlers haven't learned anything about how things work). That way they can write things like, "They hide the truth in plain sight!" and feel smart for having uncovered the laziest criminal conspiracy since the valuation of Trump Towers.
@@javierlatorre480And don't forget. "They're photoshopped, but they have to be." Which is them explaining that they have to take pieces of other photos they made and stitch them together to make a full photograph. They cling on to the words "photoshopped" and ignore everything else. Even then, it being photoshopped doesn't help them anyway. If you want to see them squirm, tell them that for something to be photoshopped, there needs to be a photo taken to begin with.

I like how he pointed out that a flat disc would collapse back into a ball under its own gravity, and how most things in space are round. There's plenty of objects out there, but the moons of Mars will suffice to demonstrate this point: Both moons are too small for their gravity to force them into a spherical shape, but Phobos being the larger of the two, is somewhat closer to being spherical than Deimos.

1. **Direct Observations of Earth's Curvature:** When you observe distant objects disappearing bottom-up as they move farther away, it's due to the Earth's curvature. This phenomenon is consistent with a spherical Earth.
2. **Circumnavigation Confirms Sphericity:** The ability to sail or fly around the Earth in a continuous path, returning to the starting point, is a clear demonstration of the Earth's spherical shape.
3. **Lunar Eclipse and Earth's Shadow:** During a lunar eclipse, the Earth casts a round shadow on the moon, which is only possible if the Earth is a sphere.
4. **Ship Hulls Over the Horizon:** As ships sail away, their hulls vanish first, followed by the masts and superstructures, as they disappear over the curved horizon.
5. **Order of Visibility:** When a distant object approaches, the top part becomes visible first, gradually revealing the entire object. This is consistent with a curved Earth.
6. **Eratosthenes' Experiment:** In 3rd century BC, Eratosthenes calculated the Earth's circumference by comparing the angle of the sun's rays at two different locations, providing evidence for a spherical Earth.
7. **Modern Satellite Imagery:** Images from satellites show the Earth as a sphere, providing continuous visual confirmation.
8. **Astronomical Observations:** The changing positions of stars and constellations as you move north or south align with the curvature of the Earth.
9. **Coriolis Effect:** The Coriolis effect, which influences wind patterns and ocean currents, is a direct result of the Earth's rotation on its axis.
10. **Time Zones Based on Longitudinal Lines:** The existence of time zones is evidence of the Earth's rotation, and these time divisions are based on lines of longitude.
11. **Aircraft Navigation:** The navigation of aircraft relies on the curvature of the Earth, and flight paths are calculated accordingly.
12. **High-Altitude Flight Observations:** Passengers on high-altitude flights can see the curvature of the Earth below them.
13. **Midnight Sun in Polar Regions:** The phenomenon of the midnight sun, where the sun doesn't set during certain times of the year in polar regions, is due to the Earth's axial tilt.
14. **Different Constellations in Hemispheres:** The fact that different constellations are visible in the northern and southern hemispheres is consistent with the Earth's curvature.
15. **Historical Measurement by Ancient Civilizations:** Ancient civilizations, such as the Greeks, measured the Earth's circumference using simple geometry and observed star positions.
16. **Orbiting Satellites:** The existence of the International Space Station and other satellites orbiting the Earth is a testament to its spherical shape.
17. **Photos from the Edge of Space:** Photos taken from high-altitude balloons and rockets clearly show the curvature of the Earth.
18. **Radio Signals and GPS:** The way radio signals and GPS navigation work relies on the Earth's curvature and the positions of satellites.
19. **Poles Exist:** The presence of the South Pole and the North Pole indicates the Earth's spherical shape.
20. **Gravitational Attraction to the Center:** The consistent behavior of gravity, pulling objects toward the Earth's center, supports a spherical shape.
21. **Horizon Curvature:** The curvature of the Earth's horizon, which can be observed in various settings, is another direct piece of evidence.
22. **Atmospheric Behavior:** The behavior of the Earth's atmosphere, including the way it bends light and affects visibility, is in line with a curved surface.
23. **Extended Line of Sight from Elevation:** Observing distant objects from a higher elevation allows you to see farther, demonstrating the Earth's curvature.
24. **Equatorial Diameter vs. Polar Diameter:** The Earth's diameter is slightly larger at the equator than from pole to pole, consistent with a spherical shape.
25. **Scientific Consensus:** The collective agreement among experts in various fields, including geophysics and astronomy, supports the overwhelming evidence for a spherical Earth.
Flat earthers response; “nu uh”
A clear, unambiguous and well composed post.
Flat earthers will deny every bit of it…
Good proofs of our beautiful globe
Preach
There are also further refutations of claims that Flat Earthers will make in refutation of scientific evidence. As an example, it is not uncommon to hear them claim that the sun is small and close, and moves in a circle over the flat Earth; under this premise, the sun would never set, and would change in size over the course of the day (being at its largest when directly overhead, and smaller the further away it traveled), which is _clearly_ not the case.

Here's another simple challenge to flat-earthers. A pendulum's swing plane rotates around fastest at the earth's poles, and not at all at the equator. The formula is 15 degrees per hour times the sin of the latitude. How on the world can you explain this on a flat earth disk?
None of them can, Foucault's pendulum is like kryptonite to flat earthers.
The best they can do is claim that some other force is causing it (usually magnetism, electrostatics, the aether or some other made up excuse), or that they completely misunderstand it and say something based around what makes it start swinging, or that it doesn't count because the mechanism is attached to the earth.
I like how TH-cam has started to display the flat earth info panel under this video

It started over the pandemic to a lot of videos about "controversial" subjects.
It should be pointed out that youtube didn't start adding disclaimers to "alternative facts" videos out of their dedication to stopping the spread of misinformation, but only when they were put under legal pressure to do so. They are only in it for the ad revenue and don't care where it comes from.

This explains it very clearly.
To believe in a flat earth, you have to:
-believe that the sun and moon both defy physics to run in continuous circles overhead, and you have to overlook the fact that this would prevent people in the southern hemisphere from ever seeing a full moon
-overlook the fact that this would result in people in different hemispheres seeing different faces of the moon, and you have to ignore the fact that this would result in different lunar cycles in different parts of the world.
-believe that the sun somehow acts as a spotlight (which makes no sense). You also have to either believe that this spotlight somehow also illuminates the moon even though the moon should not be in the direction of the spotlight or you have to believe that the moon is self-illuminating. You also have to believe in a “shadow object” for which there is zero evidence, but the existence of which is required to explain a lunar eclipse on a flat earth.
Further, you have to ignore the fact that a flat earth model can’t explain the fact that storm systems spin in different directions in different hemispheres.
You also have to believe that gravity is a myth and via unknown means, the entire universe is accelerating upward at a constant rate of acceleration of 9.8m/s^2, but the earth somehow shields objects on it from the force causing this acceleration, yet somehow the sun and moon aren’t shielded.
Also, you have to simultaneously believe that gravity does exist for every celestial body other than earth.
Additionally, you have to either believe that certain airline flights don’t exist and everyone who claims to have been on them is lying, or you have to invent fictional technology that lets airliners fly faster than the speed of sound and greatly exceed their fuel limitations.
On top of all of this, you have to ignore the fact that it is impossible to consistently plot known geographic coordinates onto a flat earth map. The math simply doesn’t work.
Finally, you have to invent an insanely massive conspiracy involving every government, every space agency, every airline company (and their pilots), every international shipping company (and their ships’ crews), every company that is involved with satellites, etc.
None of this makes any sense whatsoever.
A flerf won’t read this unless you change all the words to that of the Bible
Very well said. They also have to ignore what they see every time they witness the sun or moon rising and setting. They don't get larger and smaller, they rise and sink behind the horizon. Additionally, land surveys have to account for the converging lines of longitude, which becomes more pronounced the closer you get to either pole.

It's impossible for earth to be flat. According to flat earth theory the north pole is in the center, and the north pole barely gets any light during the winter solstice. If the earth was flat the north pole would be lit up like a Christmas tree, and the whole world would be lit at all times during the day. We know that is not the case.

There is but ONE thing flat Earthers have to fear, and that is Sphere itself.
The spotlight sun concept doesn't really work. You can see light from a spotlight even if it's not aimed at you.
Not if it's a _magical_ spotlight.
Exactly lol and they say the moon is on the opposite side, so it doesn't make sense because you would still see the moon from your side of the world.
It's easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled." -Mark Twain
Convincing them they have been fooled is almost fucking impossible. Seriously tho, nobody has the critical thinking skills to at least understand that Nasa is a fraud.
+MistakenMystery I've yet to see a FE'er with critical thinking skills.
Not being able to see nasa's deception is the definition of zero critical thinking skills, especially when Nasa in Hebrew means "to Deceive"
Believing that man would land on an Alien world (the moon) for the first time..with live Tv cameras rolling for the masses, is the biggest critical thinking blind spot of ALL!
+MilkieEnglandandMe Not being able to figure out where the camera came from is a wonderful example of the lack of critical thinking.

@@Qaptyl complex answer: This video
Wrong answer: yes
How can a Flat-Earther explain how their South Pole (or the complete Outer Rim Ice-Ring as they often call it) remains in Total Daylight for at least 11 weeks-a-year and the North Pole (or Central Hub) remains in Total Darkness during the same period - and vice versa, 6 months later.…
"sunlight reflecting off The Dome."
that's their BEST answer.
of course, that would make it day everywhere, ALL the time, but they are too stupid to understand THAT.
I've seen Flat Earthers claim that they can replicate the necessary daylight hours at a small scale using a glass hemisphere and an external light source.
Congrats! Not only have you contradicted your previous model by putting the Sun outside the dome, but now everyone on the planet is living in solid glass.
Understand flat Earth is not about the shape of the Earth. It's really just anti-science and anti-authority. flat Earth people really do not care about the shape of the Earth.
@@bradleyrex2968I’d have to disagree. Some of them are quite adamant about it being flat. They are certainly anti-science.

It is so easy to check if the Earth is flat.. rent a charter plane in Melbourne and ask the pilot to fly south.. and keep going that direction.. if there is edge or huge ice wall or dome covering the Earth you will see it or at one point you will get there...
But there is nothing like that..
What will happen is you will fly over Antarctica, pass it and you will end up in Rio de Janeiro..
@paco_lord87 - If you chartered a plane and flew towards the south pole, you would be faced by the military and threatened , if you refused to turn around you would be shot down, you cant go to the south pole, they are hiding something they dont want us to know, also you cannot get on a plane from one southern hemisphere continent and fly to any other southern hemisphere continent without entering and landing in a northern hemisphere continent, no flight path exists across Antarctica, you cant fly from Melbourne and across the south pole so you end up in Rio De Janeiro, because the flight route doesnt exist because the earth is flat, you need to read "16 Emergency Landings," it explains why the earth is flat, or read about the Cougar Ace ship that got into difficulties in Alaska while sailing from Japan to Vancouver, thats over a 1,000 miles north of where it should have been on a globe but in a straight direct line route on the flat earth map, just like the 16 stories of planes in the book above, the book is available as a PDF to read online, no need to buy it, but you wont read it will you, as you are too scared to find the truth

@@idontreallyknowwhattoputher... *Vsauce music starts playing* What do we classify as funny?
Hey, Vsauce! Michael here.
No.
And as always, thanks for watching.
@@SpagettiSpeltWrong funny, by definition, is something that would make a laugh, or a chuckle, which is a noise of happiness coming out of someone. So if you hear something which you think deserves a chuckle, you would….laugh. Or so we’ve been told.
Funny can be screwed for other people , making not everyone’s interpretation of funny the same, so is it even a word. Because if it was a word, then everyone would know exactly what it means. No, funny, is a base, we all know what funny means, which is the base. But we all don’t have the same interpretation on what we find funny, which is what we added on, to the base, of funny.
Take a thought at this joke
Why did the chicken cross the road, because it wanted to beans. For some, people would say this isn’t funny, for others, people would say it is. We would have to know why the chuckle crossed the road, so if we exclude everything else and only think of the chicken, why is the chicken having thoughts, why does the chicken know about the dangers of crossing the road. Why do we even care?
Caring is when we find empathy for something, if you saw something wrong, and someone got hurt because of the wrong doing, you would feel sad for the guy, wanting to help, for that’s human nature.
Think back to ww2, it has been said that the nazis actually cared about the Jews they where killing. And Adolf Hitler wasn’t always a hater of the Jews, he was a Jew to begin with. Take this picture of Hitler hugging a little girl, they became friends straight after, but, adolf then realized she was a Jew, but that didn’t exclude him from liking her.

Kansas used to be the sea floor with a whole Ocean above it, along with surrounding states that are also flat. It'll never make sense to me that we have people that know we have round planets, and a round Sun, but we just ended up flat for some reason.
Flat earthers tend to deny those facts too because they can't face reality.
It's even worse than that. They believe the entire universe is a snowglobe and the Earth alone takes up the whole base of it. Everything else is just lights in the sky moving under divine intervention.
