  • ** Get your 15-degree-drift wall clock so you can prove flat Earthers wrong just by telling the time: scimandan.co.u... **
    This flat Earther thinks that a sundial proves a flat Earth. Well, not only does he hash up making a sundial, but he can't even get his argument straight when trying to use it to prove the Earth is flat. This one is an instant classic.

      This would also only work for sundials within the flat Earth suns circular rotation, on their models you often see the sun moving on a circular path that has a radius roughly half of the radius of their flat Earth, so if you were on the outer sections of the flat Earth then the sun wouldn’t appear to move the same way, directly under the suns path would show the sun going directly over the sundial, what he claims should happen if the Earth is a sphere. Also if you were within the circular path of the sun you would see the shadow length change throughout the day depending on your location and the effect would be greater the further you are from the centre.

You know, like the day/night cycle. But when he moved his phone around to show how it must work on a flat earth, there was no night time. The entire circle was lit the entire time.

      Dude is not just clueless about science, he's even clueless about sundials, and just plain observations of the sun. His "sundial behaviour" at 8:30 is how literally no sundial works on earth (except as dan notes on the pole itself though even then it'd use a 24h graduation not 12). And the shortening and almost (or actual on the tropics, and as Dan notes on the equator during the equinox) disparition of shadows is exactly what you observe in summer. Dude lectures about sundials but has apparently never looked at his sundial for an actual day let alone day in day out over a year, it's amazing.
      Also he's apparently never head of vertical sundials.

    Does he not realise the "sundial" he built in the drive, would produce completely different results to his explanation with the pencil? In fact, he says it doesn't work outside, but reproduces the same "model" inside and that works as he expects!

    • @sheltongolden4394
      @sheltongolden4394 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

But on your tiny planet, my little prince, all you need do is move your chair a few steps. You can see the day end and the twilight falling whenever you like...

      Questioning everything in the face of adversity, even when the consensus is against you is how new frontiers of research is to be found. That isn't a trait to be ashamed of, or to shame someone for having. Experts aren't always right, nor does being an expert mean they're infallible. These last few years have shown that repeatedly. People once believed leeches were cures for headaches.
      That being said, not reevaluating your premises when they fail to hold up to scrutiny, or believing all counter-evidence is a conspiracy without any direct motivation, is where the shame should start kicking in.
