    A rule of thumb for Flerfers:
    When the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon it's a Lunar eclipse.
    When the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth it's a Solar eclipse.
    When the Sun is between the Earth and the Moon it's an Apocalypse.

    I remember I had a friend in HS whose parents were flat earthers. (I'm 43 btw). They tried to convince me that the earth was flat. Now admittedly I didn't have a good grasp on physics let alone astrophysics to refute at 15yrs old. But one thing I did understand was how a lightbulb worked. So I asked them if the sun emitted light from all sides as we were taught. They said yes. So I then asked how do we have night time on a flat earth because even if the sun is the furthest from me I should still see light, at least in the sky. Also how are there places that will have light for 6 months at a time, but then dark for 6 months. The model you are showing me doesn't make sense unless there is a barrier that stops the light of the sun. I was asked to leave and was never invited back to their house.

    I decided that my barbarian believed the disc they were standing on was a sphere. My DM hated that my character would use the same arguments flat earthers use in the opposite situation.

    Like, yes, that is actually the property which, under gravity, causes things to float or sink. Relative density is not an alternative explanation to gravity. All they've done is imagine away what makes density do this, and pretend "it just happens", entirely missing that the point of forces is to model the mechanism of action.

      That's very cool.
      I remember flying from Johannesburg to Sydney and the plane's flight route went towards Antarctica, as one would expect on a globe, but it was a cold turbulent night flight. Because the air above Antarctica was extra cold (-80° C), the aircon had trouble compensating, so everyone had blankets on them through that flight. Something you don't often see, as there's always a hero in shorts in the middle of winter.
      Definitely not the nonsense you would expect from a flight that skirted Africa, the Middle East, India, South East Asia and Indonesia then Australia as would occur if the earth was flat.
      The entire flight was across an ocean, with no lights of civilization anywhere.
      The same thing occurred when I flew from Sydney to Santiago. Absolutely no land gets crossed and no lights of civilization through the night.

A side effect of mass is gravity but from what iv learned gravity itself is a result of all the mass creating a bend in space-time and it gets very complicated because the fourth dimension is involved and that's something that's just unknowable to our 3rd dimensional brains. The only reason we know the fourth dimension is a thing is because ridiculously complicated math done by very smart people.

Whether or not it's a force is debatable, but it does exist everywhere in the universe, and magic is just a term that describes that which is poorly understood, which gravity happens to be a good example of.
      As for 4-dimensional stuff, we regularly make 4-dimensional measurements. "The corner of 4th street and 23rd avenue, 7th floor at 4pm tomorrow" is a complete, if imprecise, 4-dimensional coordinate. What we know from Einstein's General Relativity and experimental evidence is that gravity has an interaction with all 4 of those components in some way.

The alternative is to add a new dimension (3rd in the case of Earth, 5th in the case of relativity) to curve into or out of yielding what appeared to be strange distortions in the lower dimensions.

    Long distance flights are quite funny when flerfs are attempting to explain it. They are still trying regardless of tons of evidence. One pilot (maybe not just him, but I know about him for sure) going by the name Wolfie6020 here on YT even offered to pay for the flight tickets for a flat Earther to experience such flight by themselves and in the end the offer was taken by another CZcamsr - Greater Sapiens and he not only flown the flight from Australia to South Africa (Qantas QF63), but he also recorded the whole flight on camera and on GPS tracker, created a video of it and published the tracker data. He even captured the Sun "going backwards" for some time as the plane was south enough for its surface speed be higher than the linear rotation speed of Earth there. Flat Earthers pretend this doesn't exist or it is somehow a trick or "CGI" or whatever other ad-hoc excuse they can pull out of their rear ends. You can hear excuses like: the flights actually never really happen, planes are not possible to track as they disappear from tracking apps, jet streams are so fast, it is possible to compensate for the extra distance. Which only demonstrates they have no clue and or are desperate in their "nu-uhh la-la-la-la Earth is flat" reality denial. But they'll try anyway.

      People who board a plane are teleported to an identical plane at a destination airport and implanted with false memories of the "flight". Which is why flights really take time, they have copy and destroy and then recreate all of the passengers at the new location complete with fake memories of the "flight" plus the memories of the original. So not only do "flights" never happen they are also essentially mass murder. This technology has been kept from the public because there would be mass civil unrest (and rejection of fast and cost effective international travel which the modern world relies on) if people knew how it really works, so they created the phony story about "airlines".

    The issue with flat earthers is that they operate with the same mentality as conspiracy theorists.(it is not a surprise there is a convergence between them).
    A- Hyper-skepticism: Taking skepticism to an extreme. An irrational obsession with questioning the official source, not because of accuracy, but because it IS the official source. People with hyper-skepticism will always assume the official source is wrong because it is the official source.
    B-Degeneration to Conspiracy: Because the official source is untrustworthy to the conspiracy theorist, there must be a reason why all the pilots, all of the space engineers, all the scientists across the world must be lying. It is never out of misunderstanding or the interpretation of evidence, it MUST be out of malice. Hence, these people find empowerment from adhering to the idea no matter how ridiculous it is in practice.
    They are not stupid; they just unfortunate victims of an unhealthy dose of distrust and paranoia.

    Dave, I'm sorry I forgot to say this in my previous comments, but good for you for actually doing the mapping on this and figuring out what the Moon would be doing on the Gleason model. My experience is that flat earthers don't believe in their ideas intellectually; they believe in them emotionally. As such, they don't actually want to look too closely at their model for fear that it won't hold up. It's like a set of parents raising a kid, and Dad knows Mom had an affair before the kid was born. Dad wants the kid to be his and is 70% sure it is, but he won't actually get a DNA test because he'd rather be 70% certain he's right than 100% certain he's wrong.

      The other great explenation is that the earh is constantly "flying upwards". So everything is pulled down by that. So assuming this happens at a constant speed, everyone aborad air planes which travel about 400-500 km/h would smash against their seats or the back of the plane because of the speed. Since this doesn't obviously happen and you can walk freely on plane, it must mean that the appearance of the downward pulling force would have to come from the earth being in a constantly accelerating motion of about 9.81 m/s^2 which is the gravity acceleration, aka the acceleration thag things falling gain. On 6000 year old flat earth this would mean that the earth is currently travelling at about 9.81*6000*360*24*60*60 = 1.85 billion kilometers per second.

    I was reading a blurb a while back on one social media platform or another by a flat-earther and one of the “reasons” he said supported THE FACT the earth is flat was when airplanes fly, if they flew straight on a sphere, they’d go into space.
    While true in a linear fashion, in FACT, taking into account drag (gravity and air resistance), thrust, lift, it is the balancing act of maintaining thrust (inline thrust of a jet engine or air screw/propeller) lift (also including wing/elevator angle trim) to counter drag (while not ignoring the other two) which allows an airplane to remain at cruising altitude. So an airplane doesn't fly STRAIGHT, so much as LEVEL/tangentially to a point on the earth below while these forces balance out... gravity always pulls the plane DOWN.
    It's easy to understand. It's first lesson stick and rudder "what makes an airplane fly" talk.
    I explained that, never heard back from him.

    I think it would be much, MUCH easier for flat earthers to explain phenomena on the sky if they would've taken assumption that the sky is actually a simulated skybox, somewhat akin to Truman's show but larger scale and these things are projections on it but no, they choose the impossible path :D

      They don’t need to explain anything. Flat earth simply means globe is a lie and solar system is a myth. All you got is fantasy and fiction

    0:38 "Rays should be parallel, but no, rays shine down at an angle"
    Sir- that's why the 23.45° tilt and the solar declination throughout the year exist-
    The rays are almost perfectly parallel through all of the surface but the curvature makes them shine in different angles if seen from the surface.
