For what it's worth, in the Llano Estacado region of the Texas Panhandle, the land is flat enough to actually see the curvature of the earth. Also, one of the most surreal things I have ever seen in my life was looking northeast through a arroyo from a Mesa top in northwest New Mexico and seeing the Rockies in the distant, BELOW the point of with I was standing. Looking down to see mountains is one of the most memorable things I have experienced in the outdoors.
You do realize that you can’t see the curvature of the Earth from any place on the planet? Neil degrasse Tyson says you have to be way above it to see it. But maybe u know more than him? He even says if you’re up in earth orbit, it still looks flat. But you people swear you see it on a plane and now you’re saying you seen it while u are standing,lol.
@@Jusdippin78 Neil Degrasse Tyson is demonstrably wrong on many thing. This is one such case. Perhaps having life experiences outside of your parents basement will prevent you from repeating some of his mistakes.
@@Jusdippin78 Well, so this is what hurt my brain for a moment to try to imagine it. He's not saying he saw the 'horizon curving', like 'looking from a beach out to the ocean horizon'. He was saying that he saw the curvature in that, while up on a mesa (which is 'up a good bit' usually but not nearly all THAT tall), he could see in the gap of an arroyo "Mountains in the farther-distant horizon" that weren't visible from his normal ground-level (or even mesa-level?) height. Basically, he stood WAY up on a short mountain, and in that specific direction, the mountains appeared to be 'below his mesa's level' because the arroyo's valley allowed him to see much further down along its length. Say his mesa was 2k feet tall. Say the arroyo was 1000 feet deep. He has an effective '3000 feet of altitude'. This let him see the horizon that he would have seen from that far end of the *arroyo*, which included seeing some of the Rockies being barely-high-enough to be visible in the distance. He was effectively looking from 3,000 feet of altitude, and 'barely seeing the mountains in the distance'...but that 'showed the horizon' too. The mountains were BARELY visible, barely peeking up in the distance...from BELOW WHERE HE WAS STANDING on a 2k altitude Mesa somewhere, and looking into the valley in the distance. The mountains aren't underground, right? So they are 'just as tall as ever', but he saw them as 'below him' when he was only a mere 2k feet up. The only way that works was to have had a line-of-sight that let him barely see them in the distance, and it happened to have that happen 'when looking out along this deep arroyo' that gave him additional 'effective altitude'. He saw the 'curvature of the earth' by LITERALLY seeing that a super-tall-thing was barely-visible in the distance, and not at all visible from ground-level where he was, which is only possible if he was seeing 'though that valley' and into the deeper distance, where the mountains were 'barely-visible from that further valley', which he was standing ABOVE. From 2k up and looking through 1k depth of valley, his horizon would have been 70-ish miles out or whatever. That additional "height plus depth" showed him what he'd have seen from a mesa 3k tall; the bare beginnings of the Rockies being visible in the distance. He was seeing 'away'-horizon, not 'across-horizon'. The curvature left-to-right is hard to measure, but ahead isn't as hard in some VERY specific circumstances. Like, with +2 and -1k foot landscapes, and an 8k-foot tall mountain being barely visible in the distance. The barely-above-the-arroyo-bottom-horizon barely could see the mountain-tops, so thus he saw the mountains as "Below him" from that point of view. It's pretty wild...but also totally makes sense if you work out the math for it. That's why it blew my mind a bit.
Nowadays flat earthers just dropped the part when they try to convince you of anything. Now they just proclaim that if you think the earth is round you should prove it to them, and then refuse to engage with arguments presented. They stopped producing arguments, because it's just a theory, bro, no one knows how exactly the earth is flat, therefore it can't be proven, but it is anyway. Complete insanity. They dismiss basic geometry. It goes round and round.

I'm a Stephen King fan and love his books but in his book The Mist, there's characters in the book when the monsters first arrive through the mist and all the people were trapped in the store.

This is definitely Stephen King laughing at them through his work. I thought that was brilliant.
As a geographer, flat earth makes me cry because it would make my job so much easier. Taking something a round earth (which is not a perfect sphere but actually a oblate spheroid) and getting it to translate onto a two dimensional surface like a map is...rough. You can only realistically maintain a few of 5 properties (Area, Shape, Direction, Bearing, and Distance) truly accurately during the translation which is why different types of maps are used for different types of tasks. Ex. the Mercator projection we all know was made for navigational purposes and is not the best one to represent the globe as it maintains bearing but distorts shape/size but was chosen because its a nice rectangle and looked good on a wall.
This is something I find funny about you drones. We’ve seen perfectly round pictures of the globe earth all our lives but as soon as an authority figure comes and tells you the earth is actually not perfectly round but more pear shaped, you go ‘Oh, I didn’t know that - wow, thanks for telling us Mr. Physicist’. Why doesn’t it occur to you to ask the obvious question like someone capable of critical thought?
@@mollykeane2571 The difference between the Earth's shape and a perfectly sphere is less than 1%. Pear shaped is a mathematical description and not a comparison to a piece of fruit. Why must you flerf dimbulbs constantly lie in order to try and prove your nonexistent points? No flat earther ever has or ever will be capable of critical thought. If you could think critically, you would instantly realize how every single thing about flat earth is completely wrong and with no basis in reality whatsoever.
My dad has told this story throughout my life: A man was convinced that he was a dead man. No matter what friends and family said to him to convince him that he was not a dead man walking around, he didn't believe them. One day, a friend of his asked him if dead men bleed. The man said, "Of course not." His friend then quickly cut him with a knife, making him bleed. The man looked at his wound and declared, "Whattaya know? Dead men DO bleed!" Flat-earthers remind me of that man.

The key belief I want flat earthers to explain is what is their idea of gravity or a downward force on the "flat disk". Does it come from the bottom of the disk or the space beneath the disk? What makes things stick or gravitate to the "top" surface of the disk? Why can't we jump up off the disk into space? What is mass?
Electrostatics...buoyancy and density sort it out!! All of the above exist! They are NOT theoretical! "Spacetime" and "gravity" have NEVER been proven to exist! Can't even call them THEORIES! Hypotheses at best...
@@brianwebber6996_ROADHUNTER ok so what's causing the electrostatics? Buoyancy (presumably of water on the surface of the disk) doesn't explain why things fall to the surface of the disk, nor does density... (density of what)?

please, tell a civil engineer that water finds it's own level. fun fact, water towers are built at a certain height to induce a specific pressure in the municipal water supply (look into why it's that pressure if you are interested.) because weight is relative and based on local gravity, the height of even pressure (the level that water always finds it's way to) changes as you go from place to place.
I think you missed the point. Yes what you say is true, however, when you look to see it's level you will see a straight line. It's not curved because water does in fact find level. With pressure etc you can manipulate that level but when left to its own devices it always finds level. That's why spirit levels have been used for thousands of years

It helps to think about it as more of a religion of "The world confuses me and I don't like it." They are right and you are a blasphemer. Err, 'wrong'. They don't refute anything with proof, they toss a few factoids at you and hope they can make you pause for long enough to look one stupid one up to let them escape you. It's never about facts, and if you 'fact' at them too much they find some tiny detail to freak out about and then escape by 'not being able to deal with you right now' and stuff like that. It's not a lack of knowledge...it's frightened 'ignorant people' who don't like that the world is complicated, and now they have a religion...their eyes.

I watched 2 church leaders arguing about the shape of the earth. The flat earth advocate, a nutcase straight from the asylum, said the reason why astronauts and pilots THINK the earth is round is: Because of the shape of the windows/portals being round or oval. It's an optical illusion. My son served on an Arle Burke destroyer. His ship never fell off during any deployment or cruises. My husband served in the Army for over 24 years in Test Measurement Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE) aka calibration. They had to consider the rotation and shape of the earth while during their job. In other words, the earth is round. My father-in-law was a Civil Engineer and surveyor. He said the earth was NOT flat. If you're attending a flat earth church and getting saved based on the shape of the earth, you have totally misunderstood the Bible and salvation.

"Dude, write a fantasy novel" Fun fact for those who haven't studied any of Tolkien (I assume many here probably have): For the Elves, the world is flat, but it is round for Men and the other races.

This isn’t true at all. When Arda was made during the Ainulindale, it was flat. At the end of the second age, Valinor (in Aman, the Undying Lands as people know them) was “hidden” by Illuvitar and the world was made round causing Númenor to be swallowed by the sea. The story is Tolkien’s take on the Atlantis story in many ways. Afterwards, the elves are guided along a special way to return to Valinor by ship sailing west after they have been granted permission to do so by the Valar after thousands of years of exile. Idk where you heard about the elves seeing the world as flat and men round but it’s nowhere in Tolkien’s legendarium. The Silmarillion is a difficult read but worth it if you like Tolkien. I recommend it.
@@jordanream970, AFAIK that's based on a scene in which Legolas sees the hall of Meduseld from a distance that would have been impossible on a curved Arda.

The real question I have is why is it important to some people that the earth is flat? For me it's important to understand that the earth is round for understanding and functioning of travel and communications. The best case I can see for the importance of the flat earth is as part of a worldview that most people are too dumb or evil to associate or communicate with.
These are people who do not professionally do anything that pertains to the shape of the earth, they are chronically online and love conspiracy theories. They like thinking that they know things that nobody else does while not being able to grasp the most fundamental concepts of reality. These of course are the regular average every day flat earthers I imagine because I'm convinced the people with youtube channels dedicated to it that make money off of it are just grifting gullible people.
I watched another video going over this monumental stupidity of a movement that touched upon the social aspect of it, don't remember what video anymore.

I guess you can't really understand it unless you have the same mindset.
Well I think the most important reasons are knowledge and freedom. If the theory is correct, then it means there is more land and thus more people, civilizations, technology, etc... The consequences of that would end the Status Quo on Earth, the oligarchy of families that run the world and that control all the necessary tools to create such deception who force us into a system with taxation, debt, high energy prices, mediocre Governments, poisoned mainstream media, etc... if we see the grass is greener elsewhere would you stay? if you see you are being scammed in many different ways (energy/banking/etc..)and there are more feasible solutions would u carry on being scammed? Nothing of what I said is meant to be evidence.... it isnt, but you asked why is important.... imo that is why is very important. The Status Quo, the families that have enough wealth to end poverty over night - they need this lie to keep us on 5 landmasses and be oblivious that we are being scammed.
I believe (like, I personally) that the Flat Earth 'thing' is a religion about "Life is too complicated, so now my eyes are the only arbiters of truth and fact". They don't have to think, they just LOOK and that MUST be true because they can SEE it! Questions? Details? Why would they have THOSE?! They can SEE the truth! You're just a blasphemer; get out of their way, heathen! It's a religion of willful ignorance.
Flying proves globe earth. I used to fly frequently between Singapore and Houston, roughly the other side of the world. There were 3 flight routes I tried. West via London and the Atlantic Ocean, East via Hong Kong and the Pacific Ocean, and North via Moscow and the Arctic Ocean. All took roughly one day’s flying, so that fact that you can get to another location on earth in the same time by flying in 3 different directions is proof the world is a globe - have a look at these flight paths on a globe compared to a flat earth pizza! Flights easily prove the globe is real. There was no route south over antarctica, as no stops to make any economic sense in antarctica…but flerfers will cherry pick this latter fact as proof of a flat earth conspiracy due to many reasons: NASA bans the flight over antarctica as part of its great conspiracy Plane will hit great ice wall and crash Plane will fly over great ice wall but hit Perspex firmament and crash Plane will fly over great ice wall straight into outer space to be sucked up in a great vacuum cleaner NASA will shoot the flight down NAZI UFOs from ancient alien U-boat bases on Antarctica will shoot the flight down Giant electric penguins with laser guns for eyes will shoot the flight down You cannot argue with flerfers - they are either grifting or too badly educated to change their minds
This is a good comment; it’s funny, insightful, and well written. A moment that I experienced that really proved to me the Earth is round without anyone else having to tell me or show me data (not that I needed proving, I fully believe in science and it’s usefulness) was when I went on a cruise for the first time recently and as we went away from the shore where there were some tall buildings, I used my binoculars and over time saw the buildings appear to sink and go down as we went further away. By the time we were 37 miles out, I could still see the tips of the buildings with my binoculars. It was actually pretty fun
I had this argument with my brother in law, we barely talk anymore, so it's actually sad. I showed up one night to BS about politics and such, something fell and I made a joke about gravity, and he launched into this whole production about flat earth. He trotted out so much of this, including Rowbotham and a bunch of "declassified Soviet science" which showed that the USSR launched rockets based on a "flat earth model." I finally tried to get him on the math that Rowbotham used to "prove" the sun was a few thousand "statue miles" (something he thought was different from standard miles) and damnit all if I wasn't drunk that night I could have put the nail in that argument. See when Rowbutt made that measurement, he never confirmed that point "D" in his calculation (the right angle of the triangle) actually had the sun at 90 degrees - something which wouldn't even be possible at the location he described - he just said it would be without sending anyone to take the measurement. And if you take his measurements and correct for where the sun would actually be at 90 degrees on that line... guess what? It's within a few percent of what we measure the sun at with other, more accurate methods.

A flat earth tiktok creator recommended a book called "Stellar Theology and Masonic Astronomy". So I did what his followers wouldn't do, I found it on the Internet Archive and read it. On page 58 I found this: "The Egyptians knew the true system of the universe. They were acquainted with the fact that the sun is the center of the solar system, and that the earth and other planets revolve about it, in fixed orbits. They knew that the earth is of a globular shape, and revolves on its own axis, thus producing day and night. They also knew of the revolution of the moon about the earth, and that the moon shines by the reflected light of the sun. They understood the calculation of eclipses; they were aware of the obliquity of the ecliptic, and that the milky-way is a collection of stars. They also seem to have understood the power of gravitation, and that the heavenly bodies are attracted to a center." I pointed this out to the creator in the comments. His reply was that this book shows how the media lies to cover up the true nature of the earth, which, as usual, made zero sense.
As for airline routes it should also be considered that it is safer to travel over land than water. So there are other factors in play than just the shortest route from A to B ;)
Heh, that's a good point. If the other space agencies know Earth is flat, they would have rubbed it in NASA's metaphorical face with glee. Except no, even the Soviets knew the Earth was a globe >.
This brought a memory from my high school years. (Pre internet). There was a flyer on the bulletin board to go to a Flat Earth Society meeting. I thought it was a funny name for a group. I talked to my parents (dad an engineer and mom a biologist and Christian) about the flyer and was told it was an actual group that believed the earth was flat. I couldn’t believe with the math, science, space travel, photos etc that people still held this belief. Although I do love the artwork depicting the earth on the back of a sea turtle. Now as a geologist and a Christian I appreciate all the effort you have put out here on all the current “proofs”. I see so many people who just believe what is on the internet without proper research and analysis. Thanks for the laughs and “proof”debunking. And can we start to teach math and critical thinking.
The escalation from ‘heres math that proves the earth is round’ to ‘he says the Freemasons and Illuminati are hiding it and the masons symbol is a Star of David and also claims a Charlie Chaplin lookalike was a hero’ was whiplash

For what it's worth, in the Llano Estacado region of the Texas Panhandle, the land is flat enough to actually see the curvature of the earth. Also, one of the most surreal things I have ever seen in my life was looking northeast through a arroyo from a Mesa top in northwest New Mexico and seeing the Rockies in the distant, BELOW the point of with I was standing. Looking down to see mountains is one of the most memorable things I have experienced in the outdoors.
Congratulations; that actually hurt my brain for a moment to visualize what you mean, and that looks amazing even in my head.
You do realize that you can’t see the curvature of the Earth from any place on the planet? Neil degrasse Tyson says you have to be way above it to see it. But maybe u know more than him? He even says if you’re up in earth orbit, it still looks flat. But you people swear you see it on a plane and now you’re saying you seen it while u are standing,lol.
@@Jusdippin78 Neil Degrasse Tyson is demonstrably wrong on many thing. This is one such case. Perhaps having life experiences outside of your parents basement will prevent you from repeating some of his mistakes.
@@Jusdippin78 Well, so this is what hurt my brain for a moment to try to imagine it. He's not saying he saw the 'horizon curving', like 'looking from a beach out to the ocean horizon'. He was saying that he saw the curvature in that, while up on a mesa (which is 'up a good bit' usually but not nearly all THAT tall), he could see in the gap of an arroyo "Mountains in the farther-distant horizon" that weren't visible from his normal ground-level (or even mesa-level?) height. Basically, he stood WAY up on a short mountain, and in that specific direction, the mountains appeared to be 'below his mesa's level' because the arroyo's valley allowed him to see much further down along its length.
Say his mesa was 2k feet tall. Say the arroyo was 1000 feet deep. He has an effective '3000 feet of altitude'. This let him see the horizon that he would have seen from that far end of the *arroyo*, which included seeing some of the Rockies being barely-high-enough to be visible in the distance. He was effectively looking from 3,000 feet of altitude, and 'barely seeing the mountains in the distance'...but that 'showed the horizon' too. The mountains were BARELY visible, barely peeking up in the distance...from BELOW WHERE HE WAS STANDING on a 2k altitude Mesa somewhere, and looking into the valley in the distance. The mountains aren't underground, right? So they are 'just as tall as ever', but he saw them as 'below him' when he was only a mere 2k feet up. The only way that works was to have had a line-of-sight that let him barely see them in the distance, and it happened to have that happen 'when looking out along this deep arroyo' that gave him additional 'effective altitude'. He saw the 'curvature of the earth' by LITERALLY seeing that a super-tall-thing was barely-visible in the distance, and not at all visible from ground-level where he was, which is only possible if he was seeing 'though that valley' and into the deeper distance, where the mountains were 'barely-visible from that further valley', which he was standing ABOVE.
From 2k up and looking through 1k depth of valley, his horizon would have been 70-ish miles out or whatever. That additional "height plus depth" showed him what he'd have seen from a mesa 3k tall; the bare beginnings of the Rockies being visible in the distance. He was seeing 'away'-horizon, not 'across-horizon'. The curvature left-to-right is hard to measure, but ahead isn't as hard in some VERY specific circumstances. Like, with +2 and -1k foot landscapes, and an 8k-foot tall mountain being barely visible in the distance. The barely-above-the-arroyo-bottom-horizon barely could see the mountain-tops, so thus he saw the mountains as "Below him" from that point of view. It's pretty wild...but also totally makes sense if you work out the math for it. That's why it blew my mind a bit.

As a geographer, flat earth makes me cry because it would make my job so much easier. Taking something a round earth (which is not a perfect sphere but actually a oblate spheroid) and getting it to translate onto a two dimensional surface like a map is...rough. You can only realistically maintain a few of 5 properties (Area, Shape, Direction, Bearing, and Distance) truly accurately during the translation which is why different types of maps are used for different types of tasks. Ex. the Mercator projection we all know was made for navigational purposes and is not the best one to represent the globe as it maintains bearing but distorts shape/size but was chosen because its a nice rectangle and looked good on a wall.
This is something I find funny about you drones. We’ve seen perfectly round pictures of the globe earth all our lives but as soon as an authority figure comes and tells you the earth is actually not perfectly round but more pear shaped, you go ‘Oh, I didn’t know that - wow, thanks for telling us Mr. Physicist’. Why doesn’t it occur to you to ask the obvious question like someone capable of critical thought?

The man said, "Of course not." His friend then quickly cut him with a knife, making him bleed. The man looked at his wound and declared, "Whattaya know? Dead men DO bleed!"

please, tell a civil engineer that water finds it's own level. fun fact, water towers are built at a certain height to induce a specific pressure in the municipal water supply (look into why it's that pressure if you are interested.) because weight is relative and based on local gravity, the height of even pressure (the level that water always finds it's way to) changes as you go from place to place.
I think you missed the point. Yes what you say is true, however, when you look to see it's level you will see a straight line. It's not curved because water does in fact find level. With pressure etc you can manipulate that level but when left to its own devices it always finds level. That's why spirit levels have been used for thousands of years

Afterwards, the elves are guided along a special way to return to Valinor by ship sailing west after they have been granted permission to do so by the Valar after thousands of years of exile.

The icewall is the part that confuse me the most. Because people have been to the poles and there is no ice wall? People have been living on the arctic and since the 1820s the Antarctic has also been explore. Where is that ice wall?
To be fair to my understanding in flat earth world view the north pole is just center of the disc so there wouldn be ice wall in the north. It obviously still doesnt make sense why antarctis would be actually ice wall
It all comes from Gleason's time chart that uses the AE projection of the globe. Even Gleason said so, yet the ignorant and stubborn won't accept anything that kills their feeling of being special.
Like I at least get with the other ideas where they come from but the ice wall just seems so random. Like oh yes magical ice wall with hidden secrets
@@mayg9933 All they have to do is read Gleason's patent application which reads in part...
"The extorsion of the map from that of a globe consists, mainly in the straightening out of the meridian lines allowing each to retain their original value from Greenwich, the equator to the two poles."
They completely ignore these words which shows just how deep the FE indoctr1nation is. It's literally a mental illness.
You gotta see the wall to believe it
I knew a flat earther. Called herself a scientist and a doctor (did not complete college) and was one of the meanest, most close minded people I've ever known
yes, about HALF of flat earthers are extremely malevolent and vicious - far, far higher than the general population. it's almost like it's a prerequisite to become a flat earther.

I work with a Flat Earther. The basis of his belief lies in his religious beliefs combined with his belief that space isn't real and science is basically mythical mumbo jumbo... I just can't...

honestly getting sick of everyone mocking our flat earth model. As soon as we create one that works you'll all see!
Loved every second of this, every single second. The fact that the first flat earth conference happened 56 miles away from my house almost embarrassed me, I did get over that, but your reasoning has hopefully smashed that dome to pieces. I do appreciate all of your work, thank you.
The Amish pronunciation is absolutely correct. I work with the Amish quite frequently and I've come to really appreciate that pronunciation.
Really enjoyed part one and part two, thanks for all your hard work on them.
There's fun to be had at laughing at flat earthers, but there's also the futility of trying to change their mind.
these flat earth ppl must not have any surveyors in their family lmao. my grandfather and father now my younger brother is too. They would beg to differ that the earth is flat, and they measure the earth so I trust them.
Well, yeah, but Flat Earth folks aren't into 'facts'. It's more of a religion, worshiping "When things were simpler." Even though they were never simpler like that, but again, they aren't worried about facts! They believe, and so they believe. That's all they believe, and you are just wrong. No matter what you think, if you think not-the-same, you're wrong. It's religion without the God. It's idiocy without the village to keep them. ( And that's me joking about 'village idiots' running amok in this day and age. )
There are many surveyors in the flat earth community. Any sane surveyor knows there is no measurable curvature
"While that does sound like an early form of grifting, in my opinion Johnson was just insane." has got to be one of the most metal bars ever dropped and I love it.
Off topic comment: A couple livestreams ago you mentioned that you guys have plans to interview various native American persons to better understand their stories and cosmologies. My anthropology professor happens to be very well connected with a variety of Dene speakers and would be interested in getting you guys in contact with them. Would y'all like to arrange something in that regard?
Yes absolutely!
@@TheLoreLodge Awesome! I sent you an email to confirm
Updooted everything involved here because I think this is a good idea too.
Trying to debunk flat earth while sporting a masonic Tshirt is absolute top irony.
I have binged episodes and now I'm rewatching everything. You guys make amazing content. Thank you for making videos!
Also, would you consider making one of the sky trumpets?
Id love a third part of this series on what you think motivates these people to believe what they do.
Is it just them making a massive series of misunderstandings, ot do you think its more than that?
It's mmmmooooneeeyyy 😂
I left this video to ferment for a few days because I wanted to see the flat earthers in the comments
lol this is a hilarious one, as if they are flies you are about to observe
I maybe wrong but there isn't not one single flat planet , star, or moon, in our solar system ....right? sooo why would earth be the only exception ?
Flat earthers claim that all the stars and planets are fake or lights or really anything but other planets and stars. They love to show you horribly out of focus and poorly done photos of stars and planets to "prove" their claims.
Some believe that we are living within a dome where the stars, moon and sun are projections. Some believe that there’s no space at all and the government, via NASA, are hide dozens of continents or “outer lands” from us forcing us to live within the “ice wall.” It just depends on the flat earth believer .
Flat earth is proof that stupidity is alive and well.
😁
My favorite proof against flat earth is just " make me a flat map with no distortion then. Accurate distances at scale. Including for the ocean. " I have yet to see one. That and the lack of functional singular models of a flat earth. Wooh.
The bits about how one can bring things beyond the Horizon back into view with telescopes hurts my soul due to the entirety of the science of long range naval gunnery post WW1 where the horizon was a very real limit on spotting before radar where you would need forward scouts in the form of aircraft or smaller warships to spot further than that, something various powers were doing with Japan being the one with the most developed doctrine for using.
I love this channel. I have time blindness with my ADHD. I use your channel to help. I have one episode to clean as much as possible. It's amazing what I get done.
1:03:09 Puppy is all "Aiden are you okay? You've been doing math out loud for 30 minutes..."
The real question I have is why is it important to some people that the earth is flat? For me it's important to understand that the earth is round for understanding and functioning of travel and communications. The best case I can see for the importance of the flat earth is as part of a worldview that most people are too dumb or evil to associate or communicate with.
These are people who do not professionally do anything that pertains to the shape of the earth, they are chronically online and love conspiracy theories. They like thinking that they know things that nobody else does while not being able to grasp the most fundamental concepts of reality. These of course are the regular average every day flat earthers I imagine because I'm convinced the people with youtube channels dedicated to it that make money off of it are just grifting gullible people.
I watched another video going over this monumental stupidity of a movement that touched upon the social aspect of it, don't remember what video anymore. But basically, this is the same line of thought as "the truth is out there". These people want something to believe in, it's sort of a lifestyle, a weird lens through which they view the world.
I guess you can't really understand it unless you have the same mindset.
Well I think the most important reasons are knowledge and freedom.
If the theory is correct, then it means there is more land and thus more people, civilizations, technology, etc...
The consequences of that would end the Status Quo on Earth, the oligarchy of families that run the world and that control all the necessary tools to create such deception who force us into a system with taxation, debt, high energy prices, mediocre Governments, poisoned mainstream media, etc... if we see the grass is greener elsewhere would you stay? if you see you are being scammed in many different ways (energy/banking/etc..)and there are more feasible solutions would u carry on being scammed?
Nothing of what I said is meant to be evidence.... it isnt, but you asked why is important.... imo that is why is very important. The Status Quo, the families that have enough wealth to end poverty over night - they need this lie to keep us on 5 landmasses and be oblivious that we are being scammed.
I believe (like, I personally) that the Flat Earth 'thing' is a religion about "Life is too complicated, so now my eyes are the only arbiters of truth and fact". They don't have to think, they just LOOK and that MUST be true because they can SEE it! Questions? Details? Why would they have THOSE?! They can SEE the truth! You're just a blasphemer; get out of their way, heathen!
It's a religion of willful ignorance.
@@sparking023 sad to say I think you are right
I cannot believe people take flat earth seriously.
That's like saying we landed on the moon in Sixty nine.
@@stanleymilgram4788
_"That's like saying we landed on the moon in Sixty nine."_
that was only the first time.
@@johnqpublic7608 they said it numerous times, you're correct.
One of my friends does. I just listen to her rants and nod politely, no point saying anything because she will ignore it all anyway.
Flying proves globe earth. I used to fly frequently between Singapore and Houston, roughly the other side of the world. There were 3 flight routes I tried. West via London and the Atlantic Ocean, East via Hong Kong and the Pacific Ocean, and North via Moscow and the Arctic Ocean.
All took roughly one day’s flying, so that fact that you can get to another location on earth in the same time by flying in 3 different directions is proof the world is a globe - have a look at these flight paths on a globe compared to a flat earth pizza! Flights easily prove the globe is real.
There was no route south over antarctica, as no stops to make any economic sense in antarctica…but flerfers will cherry pick this latter fact as proof of a flat earth conspiracy due to many reasons:
NASA bans the flight over antarctica as part of its great conspiracy
Plane will hit great ice wall and crash
Plane will fly over great ice wall but hit Perspex firmament and crash
Plane will fly over great ice wall straight into outer space to be sucked up in a great vacuum cleaner
NASA will shoot the flight down
NAZI UFOs from ancient alien U-boat bases on Antarctica will shoot the flight down
Giant electric penguins with laser guns for eyes will shoot the flight down
You cannot argue with flerfers - they are either grifting or too badly educated to change their minds
This is a good comment; it’s funny, insightful, and well written. A moment that I experienced that really proved to me the Earth is round without anyone else having to tell me or show me data (not that I needed proving, I fully believe in science and it’s usefulness) was when I went on a cruise for the first time recently and as we went away from the shore where there were some tall buildings, I used my binoculars and over time saw the buildings appear to sink and go down as we went further away. By the time we were 37 miles out, I could still see the tips of the buildings with my binoculars. It was actually pretty fun
I’m not sure what it is, but I’m just really loving the vibe Mattis is bringing to this one! Great job as always, Aidens!
I had this argument with my brother in law, we barely talk anymore, so it's actually sad.
I showed up one night to BS about politics and such, something fell and I made a joke about gravity, and he launched into this whole production about flat earth.
He trotted out so much of this, including Rowbotham and a bunch of "declassified Soviet science" which showed that the USSR launched rockets based on a "flat earth model."
I finally tried to get him on the math that Rowbotham used to "prove" the sun was a few thousand "statue miles" (something he thought was different from standard miles) and damnit all if I wasn't drunk that night I could have put the nail in that argument. See when Rowbutt made that measurement, he never confirmed that point "D" in his calculation (the right angle of the triangle) actually had the sun at 90 degrees - something which wouldn't even be possible at the location he described - he just said it would be without sending anyone to take the measurement. And if you take his measurements and correct for where the sun would actually be at 90 degrees on that line... guess what? It's within a few percent of what we measure the sun at with other, more accurate methods.
You hit the nail on the head when you said flat earthers don't understand relativity. I honestly think that is the biggest problem for them. It's almost impossible for them to understand relativity.

You can understand something and still reject it. Accusing the people that reject it of not understanding it is not logical.
How the hell do flat earth people explain the 2 core (inner and outer) mantle and crust?
The Earth is a pizza with mantel stuff crust.
What's the deepest hole ever dug, drilled, or bored into the Earth? You probably don't know because your kind doesn't do research! Y'all just regurgitate what other men dump on you...Probably not too dissimilar than your Saturday nights!
Well, it's about 8 miles! Inner and outer what, now? You're referring to pictures in books and CGI...Your FAVORITE!!
What temperature does magnetism fail? Should that affect your rock pear?
They don't believe in them, just like they don't believe in space generally
They just deny it. They do the same with gravity.
How do you prove the core ?
A flat earth tiktok creator recommended a book called "Stellar Theology and Masonic Astronomy". So I did what his followers wouldn't do, I found it on the Internet Archive and read it. On page 58 I found this: "The Egyptians knew the true system of the universe. They were acquainted with the fact that the sun is the center of the solar system, and that the earth and other planets revolve about it, in fixed orbits. They knew that the earth is of a globular shape, and revolves on its own axis, thus producing day and night. They also knew of the revolution of the moon about the earth, and that the moon shines by the reflected light of the sun. They understood the calculation of eclipses; they were aware of the obliquity of the ecliptic, and that the milky-way is a collection of stars. They also seem to have understood the power of gravitation, and that the heavenly bodies are attracted to a center." I pointed this out to the creator in the comments. His reply was that this book shows how the media lies to cover up the true nature of the earth, which, as usual, made zero sense.
It's always funny when flat earthers try to point to old geocentrist beliefs as support - geocentrism was a spherical earth belief.
Incredible, thank you so much for this.
As for airline routes it should also be considered that it is safer to travel over land than water. So there are other factors in play than just the shortest route from A to B ;)

Jesus Christ, I think my IQ is actually getting lower just reading these comments
I love that he starts the fume ad when I hit the lifted stick
When am I ever going to use trigonometry in real life? Surprisingly, to disprove flat earth theory.
Heh, that's a good point. If the other space agencies know Earth is flat, they would have rubbed it in NASA's metaphorical face with glee. Except no, even the Soviets knew the Earth was a globe >.
Came for the continued debunk, stayed for the hilarious impersonations.
This brought a memory from my high school years. (Pre internet). There was a flyer on the bulletin board to go to a Flat Earth Society meeting. I thought it was a funny name for a group. I talked to my parents (dad an engineer and mom a biologist and Christian) about the flyer and was told it was an actual group that believed the earth was flat. I couldn’t believe with the math, science, space travel, photos etc that people still held this belief. Although I do love the artwork depicting the earth on the back of a sea turtle. Now as a geologist and a Christian I appreciate all the effort you have put out here on all the current “proofs”. I see so many people who just believe what is on the internet without proper research and analysis.
Thanks for the laughs and “proof”debunking. And can we start to teach math and critical thinking.
The escalation from ‘heres math that proves the earth is round’ to ‘he says the Freemasons and Illuminati are hiding it and the masons symbol is a Star of David and also claims a Charlie Chaplin lookalike was a hero’ was whiplash
From the coast at Blackpool, on a good day, the Isle of Man can be seen, some 100km away. Ireland, just another 88km away is 123x bigger but can't be seen at all. Hmm.
There is no theory, so there is nothing to debunk. We don't debunk Santa Claus for the same reason.
I've been to that crater in Arizona. It is where the astronauts trained for the moon mission. They even have a spaceman standing in the middle of it. Pretty cool site.
I was waiting for this :D
Aiden please do a video on freemasonry conspiracies i need a good giggle
Good news, this was already done a while ago alongside the history of the actual illuminati.
I went to school with a girl whose last name was Mason. She claimed that her grandfather was the "head of the Masons", but he got out because they "were doing bad things". 😅
With the proliferation of the internet, these ludicrous displays of ignorance are harder to find.
I did unintentionally draw the conversation of an older gentleman the other day at the grocery store.
He was talking about some pretty crazy and absurd topics. He was like the ignorant redneck in a movie, but it was real life.
