      "The principle of yin and yang, opposites existing in harmony, is associated with ancient Chinese philosophy. But the very first use of the iconography, the classic symbol actually comes from a shield pattern used by the ancient Romans, 700 years before it's first known use in China. A connection between the two has yet to be found. Regardless of who came up with it first, the symbol was a bright idea. BUT WHAT'S THE BRIGHTEST OBJECT IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE?" -Michael

    One of my favorite things to teach is the scale of the solar system (and other big or small systems). Basketball is the Sun, make models of all the planets and get class to line up outside. That is often the only thing they will remember. Looking a numbers on paper or pictures or videos just doesn't do it the same way.

      Exactly. If you scale The Sun down to a meter across, Earth would be 110 meters away, Jupiter would be 560 m, and Neptune would be over 3km away. It's outstanding to see our Solar System in it's true scale.

Could even be more than two mediums effecting the view. Can't seem to find any journals or other papers/studies on double or triple snell windows or even any with other mediums at all. How odd what's missing sometimes is the most interesting...

      @that1dudem The caption at 37 seconds in flashed by so quickly I didn't notice. I had thought caprtions were some kind of translation of voice to text thing so wasn't altered but now know is just another thing like caller ID that can be manipulated to provide whatever info someone wants. Although now that I type this I do recall seeing some paraphrasing going on with captions. On the other hand several of the apps I use have had the spellchecker, which is a great help, function removed so you get what I type. What about TH-cam transcripts I suppose I can't rely on them being accurate either? [edited to disable the 37 seconds link that got created]

Would we really invest the enormous effort in physically traveling there? Especially if we had already found evidence of life beyond Earth before we found the cow planet. Advanced aliens may consider us so primitive that we're simply not worth investigating.

      Oh, why the sudden change to flat earth conspiracy? We were talking about how confusing it is to listen to him. Seems like you're just trying to get our attention.
      Well, let me kill some time:
      First things first, here's something you can do yourself. Go to a beach at a sunset. Crouch and watch the sun go down the horizon. When the sun is completely hidden, no part of the circle visible, jump up. Tell me how the sun pops back up? According to your idea that Earth is a flat circle, this doesn't make sense. How can moving up show the sun again after it disappears? You can't chalk it up to image manipulation, this can be done with your own eyes. You base your evidence on anecdotal evidence, so this should be acceptable evidence.
      That leads me to the sun setting. How can the sunset? It can't set in the South because that would mean the entire earth would be in darkness after the sunset. The proposed theory is that the earth is a ball above the earth orbiting. Here's another experiment you can do. A light should be above your head. Imagine if it's the sun. Better yet, use a streetlight. Now go as far as possible from it until it goes near the ground. You can't. How would the sun appear to move down if it's always above you?
      That also leads to day and night. The sun is a ball of gas. That'll mean all areas of the Earth would get light. We are able to see stars, even though they are billions of lightyears away. Yet they shine just as bright. The light that travels in a vacuum doesn't get dimmer, that only happens in an atmosphere. They can go on forever.
      Also, where's YOUR proof? I haven't seen a single image of Antarctica where there's a fall off point. You want me to believe that in all of human history, there isn't one single picture of the edge? 29 July 1958 was NASA's creation date and 24 October 1945 was United Nation's. "The first landing on the Antarctic mainland was according to the American Captain John Davis, a sealer, who claimed to have set foot there on 7 February 1821," to quote Wikipedia. It was more than a hundred years before the big companies wanted to "hide" it. The first camera was in 1888! Image manipulation didn't exist when it came along that year and a few more years! China had begun to fly tourist to Antarctica so I would like to see a Flat Earther travel to it. There's no excuse! Even if they were chosen specifically because they were sheeple, they would still see it! www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-42388788 Go fly there yourself and prove to your comrades that it is flat. You are really desperate for it to be true, why not just go to the edge?
      Oo, it's 11:43 PM. I have one last point. You said research yourself that the Earth is stationary and flat. I'm focusing on stationary. If so, explain the Coriolis force. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_force#Coriolis_effects_in_other_areas Here are examples of it happening. And on Earth, that is the cause of many things. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_force#Meteorology If you have an explanation to why water spin Clockwise in the North and Anti- in the South, tell me. The Coriolis force explains it perfectly. Try to explain it yourself, with your own math. I assume you, at the minimum, reached high school so you can probably do your own math.
      I like to see you debunk the four points I brought up.

      I’ve done a lot of travelling in my life. You’re not living on a ball. Wether you like it or not, you’re just not. 70% of earths surface is covered in level/flat water. It’s the natural physics of water that it seeks level, takes the shape of its container. If water looks like it’s bending then go learn what perspective is, you aren’t living on a magical space ship flying through infinite space. Go outside and see for yourself.
      You’re being lied to, it’s as simple as that. You’re not just being lied to you’re being laughed at... A magical spinning ball covered in water flying through infinite space space hahahahahahahaha fuck me no wonder they have to tell you that lie when you are at an age you can’t even ask a question.

      @@DecodingWithJordan Now what exactly do you define as level? Gravity acts uniformly towards the center of the earth, thus water on the surface of the earth remains "level" despite being curved (water doesn't magically know what level is, level is just perpendicular to the earths surface). Also the "8 inches per mile" in your name tells me you're piss poor at circle geometry. 8 inches per mile ONLY applies if your viewpoint is at 0 meters high, perfectly tangential to the earths surface. Assuming you are roughly 6 feet tall, you would observe virtually no curvature until an object was roughly 5km away (because you know, that's how fucking tangents work). Now that I've disproved the two pieces of "evidence" you have, how do you explain the Coriolis effect on a flat earth model? how about modern navigation including the latitude and longitude system? what about star systems? what about the parallel shadows caused by our sun (not possible with a smaller localized light source)? What about the gradient of air pressure as you increase altitude (not even remotely possible without gravity, or with the "firmament" many flerfers claim exists)? How about the fact that EVERY OTHER OBSERVABLE CELESTIAL BODY is round and demonstrates effects of gravity and an orbit? It's not really a good idea trying to claim the earth is flat on a science channel, try sticking to facebook.

      He is the one who created heavens and earth with perfect calculation, (Plan / Program / design)
      And on that day (Specified / Program / Planed day) He said “Be and it Was”
      His words are that Truth (perfected calculated energy of creation or Super Sonic Sound wave of energy that creates)
      For sake of understanding think Albert Einstein discovery
      How Energy creates matter and
      How matter can be destroyed, back to Energy (E = mc 2)
      And to him belongs the kingship, of day of destruction (Trumpet blown / again sound wave of destruction)
      He has the total knowledge of present and past (record of your works)
      He is the Greatest Scientist and aware of all. (Plans, programs, designs of creations)
      And thus below the Heavenly waters, our universes exists cool and in peace.
      Why God is so Heat and Radiations
      Because He Creates, so heat and energy required for creation of unit of creation as subatomic particles, Quarks and Atoms is out of science scope and thought.
      But a rough idea can be given by Einstein formula E=MC2
      According to Quran everything God Creates is by his Command (Amar)
      And his command is His word “Kunn” (Be) (2:117)

      I wouldn't say this is a 'diss' track as the video assumes the earth is round from the beginning. There is never an argument made disputing it. So its not a diss. Flat earth is not even relevant in this video

      Nunya, you can see ships go beyond the horizon. Flatards just have no understanding of how FOV on cameras work so they believe other retarded flat earthers that tell them you can bring back ships by zooming at them just because they can't see them on the camera when it's fully zoomed out. You can't fix stupid, I usually just talk them into not visiting doctors by telling them they will give them autism and turn them gay so I kinda let natural selection take its turn.
