    49:00 Dave....just let the dude answer the CW vs CCW question....let him hang himself with his answer. To Witsit....can you debate your question without involving a, "Would you agree XYZ?" questions....just put your facts and explanations on the table....and Dave.....just let him. Halfway through and I'm still legitimately curious how the hell he'd explain it.

      @@ProfessorDaveExplains This is my first time seeing the guy. I'm guessing you've either debated him or have seen him debate before so you undoubtedly know what he's going to say in your head so interrupting his expected answer makes sense....save for those of us who didn't know where he was going to go with it.
      I was served up this video, no doubt, because I frequently view TQ's videos. I clicked on it because I'm legitimately fascinated by the justifications that flat earthers put forth and it really feels like a mentality similar to The Cult of the Dead Stock where believers will continue to dream up an explanation to keep their false reality afloat. My frustration lies in that, due to the frequent interruptions (on both your parts), I wasn't able to get as much understanding into the warped logic of one of the movement's (I'm guessing) more profilifc members as I thought I would have for a 1:45 video.
      I have nothing against you taking this FE'er on, just expressing frustration that it turned out to be an arguing match instead of a debate. I'm not captain debate either so just conveying some frustration and constructive criticism. It's your prerogative to dismiss it, totally get it.
      In any event, I appreciate the prompt reply (which was unexpected). Make it a great day.

    Here’s a TL;DR for this video:
    In the first 2 minutes, Dave outlines everything Austin plans on using as an argument in this debate and explains why all of it is wrong.
    For the rest of the debate, Austin proceeds to do everything Dave said he would do.
    In the meantime, the moderator apologizes for taking up too much of their time while actively taking up too much of their time.

      Dave also said he'd bring in the whole geocentric vs heliocentric debate into play which has NOTHING to do with the argument over the shape of the earth. Even if we grant him the geocentric model, it STILL won't make the flat earth model work. You can't make a 2D object work in a 3D world. I'll never forget when I learned in like 4th grade that a map will NEVER be 100% accurate as it's IMPOSSIBLE to put a spherical surface on a 2D plane surface, like a page. There will always be some distortion, and all they can do is mitigate it.

      think about this the holyspirit is God's wisdom as stated in provides chapter 8 and wisdom was there when he created the world flat and if you deny the shape of the earth you are denying the holyspirit and her wisdom and you are committing the unforgivable sin. That seems like a good reason to lie about the shape of our planet an say it is a ball!. The book of enoch is for the generation that will remove the wicked and the book of enoch is the original flat earth book and enoch a prophet of old was moved by the holy spirit so his writing's he used God's wisdom to write it. Denying Scripture is Denying the holy spirit the wisdom used to write it and to deny what enoch wrote about creation is to deny the holy spirit and Christians dont want to do that.

    A brief debunk of Austin’s coffee cup caustic nonsense:
    In his model the Sun is low and to the edge of the dome in order for the light to bend around the entire flat Earth Antarctic ring. But let’s remember that this is supposedly simulating the winter solstice… when the Sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn. People in São Paulo Brazil will see the Sun directly overhead at noon on the solstice. Austin’s ‘model’ places the sun just above the horizon from this vantage point.
    So yeah, in typical flerf style, Austin pulls a ‘model’ out of his butt to try and explain ONE observation, but then ignores how it completely fails to account for other observations. How do people in São Paulo see the Sun directly overhead during the winter solstice? Let’s just drag that Sun back into the dome and ignore Antarctica for a moment…

Resulting in more weight. The ocean by itself is a huge body of water that is being pulled towards the earth by Gravity. That's why the seas follow the curvature of the Earth. Smaller waves can go up and down on sea level because the Sea is not still. It's dynamic and other forces like Earthquakes, Tectonic plate shifts are also affecting the oceans. Your statement about ships "sliding" off make no sense whatsoever. The mantle and the Earth's crust act as a platform for the oceans. They are also shaped spherical because theyre also affected by Gravity.

      You just admitted to being part of the conspiracy dude!! Sorry, I am kidding of course. The thing is that almost all flerf claims can be tested and shown to be wrong rather easily. The concept of pressure coming from the overlying mass of air can be tested by getting any can of compressed gas and weighing it on an accurate scale, allowing it to all escape and then weighing it again. There will be a difference in reading if one has an accurate scale. There of course will still be some gas in it, but at only one atmosphere of pressure vs . eighty atmospheres or more. For example a scuba tank that is empty will tend to weigh two kilograms, call it four and a half pounds, less than a full one. A simple test that even a flerf could do.

    These flerfs really need to stop using the military argument. The flat, level plane assumption is only used in ballistic data to simplify the math, and really doesn't make much of a difference at ranges less than 18 kms. Once you push out past 18 kms, the effect of curvature on precision starts to become more apparent, and additional math must be done to compensate. This is also only done when doing manual calculations; ballistic computers account for curvature at all ranges. Oh, and many artillery systems use gyroscopes for orientation, which doesn't work on a flat earth. Source: I've been producing ballistic data for artillery pieces for the better part of 30 years.

      Looks like X-Scorpio-33 deleted his comment. He must have realized he couldn't support it. He said "Cruise control and guided missiles and torpedoes all prove flat earth." I'm afraid he has no idea what he's talking about. Guided missiles in particular definitely use DTED and other data which is all based on a spherical Earth. If you see this X-Scorpio-33, know this: when you talk shit, expect to be called out.

      Yeah Dave entertains way too many derails. It's hard to ask the same question over and over and they say "corpuscular and anticorpuscular rays" and the illuminati and the pyramids and how the aliens got through the dome and ... and.. and you have to exercise supreme self-restraint to just ignore everything they just said because they'll dangle objectionable claims in front of you and try to get you to bite so you can be led down a path elsewhere. Ignore it all and ask the same question 20 times in a row like a total psychopath and force them to give a specific, refined, non-vague handwave answer.
      Dave unfortunately doesn't really have the sociopathic bones in his body to ask the same question over and over and over again like a lunatic. And when Andrew says ask him to draw a very specific and accurate picture. And if he can't call him an absolute liar and moron to his face unless he concedes he can't explain the spinning of the stars.
      Andrew needs to explain not just that the stars spin but they have a constant angular velocity consistent with the sidereal latitude position. When you're at the poles, the stars spin overhead, at the equator, you see both poles spinning in opposite direction, and at the south pole, stars spinning the other way, all with a constant 24h per 2 pi rotation. Literally anything other than that specific explanation you need to be ready to twist the knife and never ever change topic.

      Under rated comment right here!
      TL;DR: Neighbor learns about relativity while on a beer run with me and proceeds to renounce his former flat earth gawds.
      I tell myself daily at least I am not a flat earther! My neighbor got into flat earth about 6 months ago. Took weeks of 2 hour back n forth sessions for me to bring him back to sanity.
      What finally got him to see reason in my mind should not have changed his opinion to begin with though.
      Him: Einstein's relativity is bullshit anyhow.
      Me: How so?
      Him: Because he claims an object can be moving really fast from my point of view but slow from yours.
      Me: Well we are flying through space at roughly 30k MPH but because we do not speed up or slow down we don't notice it.
      Him: We aren't flying we are sitting on a couch.
      Me: You serious?
      Him: Yes
      Me: Okay so since the earth is moving through space at 30K MPH and we are sitting on a couch that happens to be sitting on the earth we are moving incredibly fast. How ever there is no increase in Gs nor decrease in Gs because it is at a constant speed.
      Him: We would be killed moving at speeds like that.
      Me: Come with me.
      Him: 'follows'
      Me: Okay let's run to the store and grab a 12 pack.
      On the way there the highway speed limit is 55 so we are cruising along at 60mph.
      Me: Okay so do you think you can catch a phone traveling at 65mph bare handed and it not hurt?
      Him: I dunno maybe. I do concrete work so my hands are pretty tough.
      Me: Toss my phone in his direction.
      Him: 'Catches phone'
      Me: That wasn't nearly as bad as you thought it was going to be was it?
      Him: Dude that toss wasn't even 5mph.
      Me: True but we are already going down the road at 60mph.
      Him: Yeah but the phone wasn't going 60mph.
      Me: You serious?
      Him: If you had a radar gun and clocked that toss the gun would show you that was not 60mph.
      Me: Not if the gun as going 60mph when you clock the phone. However take the same radar gun and stand on the sidewalk then when the phone comes by you it will be doing 60mph.
      So from my perspective the phone is moving fairly slow. From your perspective it is traveling at about 1 mile per minute, if you are not in the car that is.
      That somehow convinced him the earth was a sphere after all.
      Me: 'Shrugs'
      I learned something from that experience though.

You don't have to love or hate a guy, you can also just agree with some arguments or opinions and not with others. This bipartisan bullshit that EVERYBODY seems to be doing nowadays is very very dishonest. So I can confidently say, that some opinions of Quartering are idiotic, while others are spot on. You could argue and I wouldn't blame or contradict you, that his method of providing content is lazy and maybe he doesn't do enough research before publishing his videos, but we really need to be able to adhere to while simultaneously detach from different opinions from the same source.

      I hadn't watched the video up to that point, so I don't know what the witless guy actually said, but that's absolutely right. It happens all the time when I look at the stars. When I look north they rotate counterclockwise and when I look south they rotate clockwise, but always from east to west. That's precisely why we see the stars rotating in different directions when we change hemispheres, and people on the equator even get both views.

    Witsit's "physics scales" argument doesnt make sense. If its harder for things to fall up because physics scales, and thus you would need more magnetism to lift the thing up, that would also mean you would need more magnetism to pull it down. So the Earth would have to magically know to apply more magnetic force to the more massive object to keep it down.

    37:00 - This is a real photo taken on 16 July 2016 and verified by the Guinness World Records. It was possible because of the globe and what dipshit left out was the quote from their website:
    "The picture was taken from Pic de Finestrelles, in the Pyrenees mountains. Pic Gaspard, of the Alps, can be seen in the centre of the photo, 443 km away.
    There are very few places on earth where it is possible to extend the line of sight so far. Due to the curvature of earth, both the observer and object must be at sufficiently high altitudes for the object to be visible at long range. The higher an observer is, the further they may see before the point where the earth curves out of sight, otherwise known as the horizon. If the earth had a uniform radius with no mountains and valleys, an individual six feet in height would view the horizon to be 5 km away from them."

Just from your daily life, when you move perpendicular to two objects at different distances, the one further moves much less than the closer one. I live near some mountains, so I can see them while in the car, they appear to move very little. Now, those mountains were 50 km away. Stars, even the closest one, are so far away that their perpendicular motion is negligible. This has been explained for a while now.

I'm not saying this guy is stupid, cause I don't really know him, but he knew absolutely nothing about science, which meant he kept stopping actual debate to dumb it down. He also kept interrupting, he wanted to talk all the time, he tried to make jokes all the time, he kept asking too many questions.
      I mean at one point he even asked one question, and in his insanely long part of "asking the question", he actually he shifted the question and asked something else. Dude just set up the flat earther to do what they do, respond without responding, and just touch so many subjects, so you don't have to actually proof anything.

    Also obviously flat earth is wrong. But these are interesting case studies for people’s epistemology. People lose trust, but then they either pretend that they are independent thinkers while really just trusting another source or they genuinely try to explain things in a new way but have no tools. You can see how clueless we as individuals can be without the institutions that have been built. We flounder around in the dark trying to see what sticks and being unable to see points of view other than our own. And this is everyone. Like without the institutions and the buildup of knowledge passed down over the centuries, I’d be just as clueless. It’s easier to verify facts than it is to find them and articulate them.
