Response to Globebusters - The Earth Still Isn't Flat
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 05. 2024
- Last week I posted a video about how we know the Earth is round, from the perspective of modern astronomy. The Flat Earth community did not like it one bit, and the channel "Globebusters" decided to talk for three hours on their livestream about how stupid my video is, and how stupid I am. I didn't really appreciate that, so I decided to make a video about their video to illustrate precisely how little they know about science, and to further reinforce how utterly absurd the Flat Earth "model" is, as well as some of the finer points about the conspiracy. Enjoy!

Two flat earth engineers were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking at its top. A sphericist walked by and asked what they were doing.
"We're supposed to find the height of this flagpole," said a flat earther, "but we don't have a ladder."
The sphericist took a wrench from a bag, loosened a couple of bolts, and laid the pole down on the ground.
The sphericist took a tape measure from the bag, took a measurement and announced, "Twenty one feet, six inches," and walked away.
One flat earther shook his head and laughed, "Typical sphericist ! We ask for the height and the sphericist gives us the length!"
nicely done, rojhaz !

99% of the flat earther's arguments are: I dont understand this therefore it must be impossible
Completely ignoring the fact that you would have to understand it to know if it was impossible.
or "i don't understand this but i'll still use it as proof to support my bullshit" like timezones, airlines and light refraction. They don't understand a single thing they're talking about and that's why they're so convinced of all this.
99% of religious people, we cannot explain this, therefore god
That's not the basis of religion at all. Ironically, you've taken the flat earther approach to understanding religion. "I don't have the information, therefore it must be this". Religion is based on proven community guidelines that have preserved successful culture for thousands of years. Also, just to be clear. There are literally hundreds of thousands of historic records of the existence of Jesus Christ. Was he God in the form of a human? Who knows, but everybody alive at the time certainly seemed to think so. Ask yourself this... What year is it? That should give you a little more perspective on the cultural importance of religion.

Come on guys! World's easiest Nobel prize just waiting for you.
Never mind the Nobel prize, the US military would fund Boeing to hire you with a full aircraft lab. You'd be swimming in money as well as praise. Generating an electromagnetic field is a lot simpler than generating lift with wings and jet engines. Even if the result performs worse than jet fighters, militaries need transport aircraft that are much easier to maintain, can have multiple engines for failsafe, and doesn't melt decks with Osprey jet exhaust. This is the kind of technological advantage the US seeks. The US military would kill, literally, to get such an engine built for them.

@@rayzimmermin First of all, please consider using punctuation in your writing. Second, I am not entirely sure what you are trying to prove here. I don't think he misunderstood the experiment at all. To me, it seems like he was generalizing, giving the most straightforward answer possible so people could understand easily. As you said, almost everyone knows about air resistance. So obviously that would affect the experiment. But the baseline thing he was trying to explain is that you still gain the momentum, but he never said other forces cannot affect that momentum. He was generalizing. And also to be fair, it's not like he was actually giving them a detailed guide on what to do, because chances are, they would ignore it completely and choose to keep believing what they believe anyway.
The model of a pickup truck is purely a visualization in which the environment is perfect, such as him adding that the truck needs to stay at the exact same speed the entire time. Of course other phenomenon happen, but it's not worth going through them if it isn't needed. Air resistance doesn't directly refute the overall point he was making.
And as I was saying, I don't understand what 'side' you are taking? You are nitpicking at one little detail that isn't hard to explain. The majority of people don't see something that someone missed or didn't mention and immediately attribute that to the person not understanding the concept of said thing. It is much more likely that he knows about it, and he just didn't mention it for the purpose of simplicity.
Hope that makes sense? Sorry if I seemed rude throughout this explanation.

I am on a ship now going from Galveston, US, to Cape Town, SA. According to the flat earth map, the best route, shortest and most fuel efficient would be from Galveston to West Africa, and then down along the coast. Instead, we were steaming SE through the Carribean Sea, along the coast of Brazil up to Recife (which would put us at the further most point from our destination, acc. to FE) and then across the South Atlantic, which on their map looks almost as wide as the Pacific?

I also caught him making a foolish mistake when he implied there is no absolute frame of reference or that all motion is relative (these are merely unprovable assumptions that were purported by Einstein and are neither necessary nor implied by empirical evidence).

I love how their argument boils down to: “fuckin magnets, how do they work.”
Without a spinning nickel/iron core in the centre of a sphere there can be no earth's magnetic field. And with no magnetic field there is no North Pole or South Pole. There is no navigation by compass because there is no North Pole for the compass needle to point to. So magnetism requires a sphere. End of.
@@petergaskin1811 More specifically, magnetism requires a rapidly rotating sphere or oblate spheroid with a flowing liquid mantle around a solid iron core exciting electrons in order to generate and emit that magnetic field. Mars has a liquid iron/nickel core, and technically that core spins with the planet. That said, it has no liquid mantle and thus has no magnetic field. While the mantle of mars may be hot enough to be ductile or even flow, it doesn't flow with enough intensity to excite electrons in and near the liquid metal. Without this, it won't emit an electromagnetic field. This field would deflect solar radiation and protect the gaseous atmosphere. In the absence of a strong magnetic field, there is no protection for the gaseous atmosphere. Which is why it has very little atmosphere.

“Maybe it’s because I’m a stupid flat earther”
Well you don’t gotta call yourself out like that
Probably the one time I agreed with a flat earther
"Oh thank god I didn't wanna say it myself"
Believing in a flat earth is like believing in a god. It's a mental illness. Simple.
Yeah they don't have to call them selves that, that's why we exist to call them that
One argument from flat earthers that I don’t understand (among many others) is how they say it’s in fathomable that the earth is traveling through the galaxy at thousands of miles per hour, yet they claim gravity comes from the earth accelerating upwards at 9.8 m/s^2. If this were really the case, then the earth would be traveling through space A LOT faster than a few thousand miles per hour. I guess they just don’t understand what accelerating at a constant rate does to velocity.
Also, mad respect to Dave for still replying to these guys four years later 😂
oh, most of them have given up on that claim, and now they say "Density" holds things down.
i watched a lot of your flat earth videos 3 years ago and i only just found your channel again now. the way you explain things is still just as good as i remembered lol
How are they using terms like "HemiSPHERE" and "AtmoSPHERE" while trying to imply that the earth is FLAT ?!

As a new zealander/kiwi, I can confirm we have a massive military budget that is about a third of the US military budget, and its sole reason is for guarding 1 third of the south Antarctic wall.

As a person (functioning brain and stuff), I love when flat-earthers try to talk.
If you have time, can you explain exactly what CGI and VFX are? Like, i heard CGI is 3d modeling and VFX could be drawn, or did i just described it as a flat earther would
@@sudak9150 CGI is basically computer generated Imagery, so it could encompass more than, but including VFX. Basically anything created in a computer for an image or visual.
VFX is the integration of digital elements into live-action footage.
So for example Avengers is VFX, and CGI.
Toy Story or Shrek are not VFX, but are CGI. That's because the images are 100% computer generated. The actors only provide the voice acting.
Hope that helps!

flat earthers ALWAYS do the same thing ...."ok, globers - explain this then ...?!". You then proceed to do with math and science and they say "la la la la la". Well, why ask then?
One thing i wanted to point out, in your inertial reference frames you never accounted for a vaccum or air friction which would APPEAR to slow your momentum upon jumping from a moving car, and the further away from the equator to the poles DOES affect straight line travel distance (the bullet anology) but the drift at 25 miles would be insurmountably negligable.
Love this video, hate flat earthers
Listening to flat earthers makes me realize how strongly people can hate to be wrong.
It also demonstrates a severe and concerning lack of critical thinking skills on the part of these people.
Now here's a fun trick for when you hate to be wrong: Don't be.
Consequences of social media creating echo chambers, hyper-individualism and being poorly educated has led to this way of thinking
Maybe this is some kind of mental illness?
or how they hate to be right
"Don't judge others for their opinion"

This sounds like the same "scientist" from the flat earth community who blew 2 laser tests that he designed, and when both failed, he blamed the equipment.
they didn't "fail". they demonstrated that the surface of the earth curves down
@@victorfinberg8595 it is a fail for them
It didn't fail its purpose, it just failed to meet his expectations.
One question I always have about these flat earth "here's how it could work if the sun moved THIS way" models is that they never explain WHY the sun moves that way, just that it HAS to if the Earth is flat. Nevermind everything else wrong with this model, I guess it all works because the sun just....DECIDES to act in a way that would simulate (or maybe imitate) a gravitational, heliocentric, spherical Earth model. And it does it so perfectly that we were mathematically able to predict it with such precision as to apparently incorrectly conclude that the Earth is not flat. When in reality, the sun and moon are tied to...I don't know...a giant invisible space ceiling fan that spins them around.
oh, i like to joke that the sun and moon are moved around by magical horses, like in the "my little pony" cartoons.

Another question: how does the entirety of Antarctica experience a month of light at the same time as the Arctic experiences a month of darkness and vice versa?
Simple, denounce such Antarctic daylight as fake. Who needs to explain observations when you have a conspiracy theory?
oh, one flattard told me "sunlight reflecting off The Dome."
totally absurd, that would make it day everywhere all the time!
These dumb Flat Earthers just think Antartica is fake.
youre confused the the arctic, it happens because the earth is slightly slanted upward
The answer is simple, *you big fucking science-believing idiot*, and it's all in the name.
It's ANT-arctica. Its really tiny. Of course the sun can cover all of it.
We just shrink as we get closer to it, hence why it looks bigger.

I'm still not convinced that these people actually believe this stuff and aren't just elaborate trolls participating in a deep hobby of seeing how many people they can fool and how angry they can make scientists.
Many moons ago, we're talking 20+ years ago when the modern internet was just entering it's infancy, I met a flat earther. He was actually quite engaging and lighthearted about the whole concept... it was almost a * wink wink * thing. He was having fun with it, not so much caring about hardcore science... more a "question everything" vibe crossed with a late 1960s hippie / new age bullshit mentality. He didn't seem to take it too seriously, but his whole mantra was don't take anything too seriously.. question everything and keep an open mind. Fast forward 20 years and the movement warped into what appears to be the perfect storm intersection of delusional people and grifters.
Some are just trolls but some are genuine believers in this nonsense. This is obvious like with the flathearther, who built a rocket and died in a crash accident with that vehicle of his...but also recently due to the pandemic some famous flatearthers died due to covid because they denied medical science & help. When it comes to such madness I usually get aware why humanity fights senseless wars or why racism or antisemitism caused horrors and pogromes. Humans are just genuinely convinced to be always right and righteous to such a degree they even die senseless deaths or drag others into their own hubris & caused tragedies.
they are imbodiment of devil itself if you see nature of devil they are type of monster that intention deviate humanity from truthnot using critical thinking no matter what arguement they cast doubt and divide humanity thats true intention and end up quarell on each other till resort on worst thing.
