- Why the Flat Earth argument of "no curve" makes no sense
Correction @ 2:20 I stated the basketball diameter as 77cm (this is the circumference), the diameter is only 24cm - 1cm above a basketball would actually equal 330 miles above Earth

The fact that even the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, chinese,Indians all knew that the earth wasn't flat and yet we still in our modern world have people that refuse to believe it is astonishing
The internet in action. Stupid people are able to find other stupid people much faster.
@John Johnson
It's because it's not actually about the shape of the earth for a lot, if not most.
It's about seizing the confirmation that there's a reason that the hardship, unhappiness or genuine struggles in the reality of their lives doesn't comport to the expectation perpetuated in modern, more capitalistic leaning societies, that everyone who wants to be happy and successful will be if they work hard enough.
They've found a community of people who validate and affirm them. And now they can fight back against the nefarious and nebulous 'they' because there's evidence that exposes the lies 'they' use to keep the rest down.
Most Flerf adherents don't care that the arguments they make in the comments have been thoroughly debunked. They use them so that they can point to factual responses and proclaim that that response proves that they're right, people are just sheep repeating what 'they' taught you to believe.
See FVP Angel for how the Ancients taught about the realm. It wasn't a spinning ball
@@allsouls5997 nope. Not one thing he has ever shared has refuted anything concerning the globe. The fact that measurement confirms the globe and globe earth maps work is all it takes to show the earth is a globe.

I love the fact that in the go pro video's you can litteraly see it curving when the curve isn't on the bottom of the screen

@@brucethen " some videos where they have used a single frame. When you find the video and run it the earth is all very the place, convex, flat, concave........" , could you rephrase, please? For I do not understand whaat nyou're saying.
"..used a single frame. " ---- Did you mean unedited, uncut videos?
" When you find the video and run it the earth is all very the place, convex, flat, concave........" I do not understand this sentence. Please rephrase, to clarify whatt you are saying.
@macmanmanny3983 a flat earther will post a picture taken by a camera attached to a ballon. This picture will show a flat edge, if you use Google search and it provides the original youtube video that this single picture was taken from, and you then watch the video you will see the edge of the earth bend sharply down at the edges then a bit later it will be flat then a bit later it will bend up at the edges. This indicates that a fish eye lens was used to film the video, and what the flat earther has done is watch the video, and as soon as they see the edge looking flat they pause the video and take a screen shot then post it as proof of flatness. Which is clearly a lie,yet if we post a picture of curvature they scream "Fish-eye lens".
@@macmanmanny3983a single frame as in what you see when you pause the video at a specific moment. They just took a screenshot of that and used it for the video . The other sentence means that when you look at the video where they took the screenshot from, you can see that it is unstable. This means that the earth’s horizon would look flat, curved, and convex (the opposite of curved as in curved in the other direction). They just took a single screenshot of one frame where the earth looked flat instead of the other two as in the original video.

@@MistedMind too true
I think the best they could come up with is that the earth is not flat but actually a dome /semi-sphere.
I da not expect any logic from them nor a reevaluation of their stance in the light of new evidence or thrashing of their proofs
If you haven't seen the earth from space how can you confirm the earth is a globe. We are observing it through a concave lens , the eyeball which is also a sphere, this gives the earth a visual illusion of being a sphere.
The fact that we're even talking about this, is insane to me.

I live on the coast of North Carolina, home to several of the tallest lighthouses in the US. I love to come at flerfers with the simple question: why are lighthouses tall? If there is no curve then you gain no advantage by making them taller. And it would certainly be easier and cheaper to build lighthouses 2 stories tall instead of 20 stories tall. And the lighthouse keepers who had to climb them multiple times a day would certainly demand a shorter lighthouse if a tall one wasn't needed.

Fact of the matter is, if we can see fucking Venus along the horizon; if the Earth was flat, then we should be able to see Japan from North America. Or even South America. If we look out on a clear night, we should be able to see the lights of Tokyo fairly easily. With a decent telescope, that is. Though, during the summer time, it would still be light out during the evening over there. Which raises an interesting thought...seeing dusk in Japan through a telescope during the middle of the night in Canada lol

I never understood the "but you can't see the curvature" argument, YES! YES I CAN SEE IT! I feel like I'm going insane everytime I see people from both sides acknoledging that you can't see the curvature on the horizon when I can clearly see it
It’s an intuitive assumption that arises from the spheres we handle routinely; we’ve played with balls since we were kids and associate visible curvature with spheres.

Finally, someone has used the same argument I have often used about seeing a curve or a corner at a high altitude even if the earth is flat. I can't conceive what must be going through the minds of flat earthers, except maybe the wind.
I also question that if FE people are "free thinkers", why do they get so violently angry when you yourself simply ask questions pondering your own experiences. They seem to have some weird agenda I don't get. Now I heard they are saying there is no 02 in the air? Like that seems too much, to me at least.

I'm afraid, my friend, what's in their minds is something much browner.
Having been born in a seaside town, I grew up watching ships come over the horizon. First one sees the masts, funnels etc...then gradually the rest of the ship. Looking through binoculars the effect is quite obvious: the ship is traveling over a curved horizon.
Also, there are highpoints at the seaside that are up to about 100 feet. Someone standing at a highpoint will see the ship before the person at the shoreline... again demonstrating the curvature of the Earth.
Visual compression is why ships disappear from the bottom first. Raising your elevation 100 feet as you said allows less compression than 6 ft therefore the effect takes longer. Not trying to upset you. Just want you to understand how the human eye works. You would like a thought experiment imagine yourself standing next to a block wall 5 miles long and your shoulder is up against it. 500 ft away there is a similar wall. You would only be able to count a certain number of blocks on the wall your shoulder is against before they all compressed into an indistinguishable blur. But on the wall 500 ft away you would be able to count blocks much further down the line. This is compression. My point being the reason ships disappear bottom first is because you're six feet off the ground with thousands of feet above you causing more compression below your eye line then above it. In the wall example the same Works side to side. Hope this helps
@@twindragon64ify That's all fine and good, but your thought experiment lacks something travelling up the walls to simulate the ship. If we compare the two situations, by describing the wall you've only described the sea, and not how compression would affect a bigger object clearly protruding from the wall.
Still, I see how compression could be a legitimate concern, especially as my own eyesight isn't doing that great at a distance, but it's nothing you can't mitigate with a pair of binoculars or other similar equipment.
Regardless, there's actually a really good clip made by the CZcamsr Folding Ideas, in a video essay called "In search of a flat earth". There's another video of his called "The Minnewanka curve experiment" that I personally haven't watched, but that I presume goes in more detail on his setup and the experiment himself.
In the clips he shot, you can clearly see that by moving the camera up and down a few feet, an entire vehicle (and generally, the trees on the shoreline) on the other side of the lake appear and disappear behind the curve. That's not what compression looks like, because the base vehicle isn't slowly becoming indistinguishable from the water because it's too small and too close to it, it's instead being covered by a clear edge.
I really recommend taking a look at it, it's some beautiful footage.
@@azuriiru I don't think you understood the point I was making. Compression on a convex lens is in all directions. So yes lifting a camera up does does allow you to see farther but not because of curvature. It's because my lifting the camera you are decreasing the compression beneath the camera which in turn allows the viewer to see a little farther. And to the point of a protrusion on our wall mind thought As you move the protrusion farther and farther away yes it would disappear given enough distance. The wall thought was simply to show how compression works left and right. If I had my left shoulder up against one wall and there was another wall 100 yd to my right I would be able to count brakes much much farther on the right wall and I would the left due to compression. Turn 90 degrees and you're standing on one wall and the other wall is a ceiling 100 yards above my head and I will be able to count the bricks much farther above me than the ones I'm standing on. Now take that and make it a man standing on the ocean. His eyes are 6ft above the water and he has thousands of feet above. Same effect. 6 ft of compression below the line of sight and at the same time thousands of feet above the line of sight is compressing at the same rate but it's 6 ft compared to thousands so the bottom disappears first. Not a hard concept to grasp once you understand. And I am not being demeaning. At one point I didn't understand this. Before you spend any more time with me research visual compression and how the eye works. My point is ships disappearing Over the Horizon is not a good argument for a globe. There is a counter argument which also explains shifts disappearing over Horizon. I've heard the joke that if the Earth is flat there would be nothing on it because cats would have knocked everything over the edge. Thank God cats don't like water. Or we wouldn't be having this argument. There would be nothing LOL
@@twindragon64ify We're talking about the phenomenon of objects that are far away and close to each other becoming so small that our eyes/a camera can't really tell where one object ends and the other begins because at that distance they kind of just blend together, right? Is that what you mean by visual compression?
@@azuriiru yes or cause and effect of viewing out of a convex lens. I'm not making this up I'm simply sharing what I learned. So my main point is watching a ship go over the horizon should not be used as proof of a globe. It's been done over and over again, watch your ship go over the horizon, then view through binoculars the ship reappears, watch it go Over the Horizon through the binoculars, bring out a telescope oh, there's the ship again. And please don't say what my mother used to say that she can see around corners. LOL

@@samanthafairweather9186 The dome is very big and it touches space, where it's very cold. So water vapour condensing on the inside of the dome freezes to become ice. When the build-up of ice becomes more dense than the air under it it falls down. Depending on how big those pieces of ice are (which determines how fast they melt) they're either hail, snow or rain once they reach the ground. The greenhouse you're talking about isn't so big that it touches space so water vapour condensing on it never gets cold enough to freeze enough to become ice which is why you've never seen it snow in a greenhouse. There!
No, I'm not a F.E. but I can see how they'd come up with something like that. Hell, I've just seen a man pointing a laser thermometer at the sun to measure how hot it is. "There you go guys, do your own research...the sun is only 200C". For real.
i've always been confused by the whole "you can't see the curve" argument... because you absolutely can. If you were to stand on a boat in the middle of the ocean so that the horizon is unobstructed by land masses you would see that the horizon is an unbroken line that goes all the way around you, forming a circle. So, yes, you can easily see the curve of the horizon, you just need to know what to look for.
Yep. The horizon is 360 degrees around you and the observer is on the apex of the globe.
All mariners know this.
It's actually really cool seeing the curve. I remember flying from LA to Japan being the first time I'd seen it personally. It was slight, but it was most certainly there along with a very cool gradient from sky blue to a nice deep blue.
That's not the Earth's curve because the curve is not visible from the ground. What you are refering to is the circle of our limited line of sight. To see the actual curve we would have to be up at the edge of space.

@@allsouls5997 nope. Not one thing he has ever shared has refuted anything concerning the globe. The fact that measurement confirms the globe and globe earth maps work is all it takes to show the earth is a globe. In the meantime you can't even provide a single measurement or functioning fe map to support you. Game. Set. Match.
I find the globe earth and flat earthers can't come to terms with a earth larger than we are told. They keep basing the curve on the belief that earth is only so big. Then by tracking the Antarctica coast line being far longer than believed to be and that General Byrd (I may be wrong of that rank) has scouted deep into Antarctica only to find extra land. And extra land is literally extraterrestrial simplified. So the mote and more I hear globe and flat I'm continually becoming more believing of a earth far larger than we are told and that both parties are correct in the idea as our relm looks flat but our globe is still true and our borders are not as they should seem
Flat earthers do not claim that earth is a disk.
So that doesn't debunk anything.
None of you have ever attempted to even listen to a flat earthers claim.

@@justinkirschenman2232 Some still do. They like to change it all the time between disc or endless flat earth or sometimes its a disc with a dome. They are flerfs they can't make their mind up on anything. I've listened to plenty of flerf claims. They are all bs based on incredulity. I've been asking flat earthers for 9 years now to provide a single measurement and functioning fe map based on that measurement.

The best part is that there actually IS visible curvature, just not horizontally. The fact that there even is a horizon and you can’t just see straight to the next landmass over proves that there’s curvature there
Sorry, but that's too difficult for flattards to manage. Try banging rocks together.
I think they say something like "The light curve itself because of the electro-magnetic force" but it still doesn't make any sense.
Can you see all of the elements on the periodic table? Can you see in the dark as well as a primitive lifeform? And maybe the bending of light that you see is because of gravity, not because there is an actual bend. And since science doesn't know what gravity is, how can they say any of this is wrong?
And any pictures of Earth from space are all flat. Pictures are 2 dimensional, which means flat. So how can any 2 dimensional pictures prove something is 3 dimensional? Your eyes work like cameras and capture images in 2D. A process of the brain converts them to 3D. If we are in a simulation, which no astrophysicists can disprove, the brain converting images to 3D is part of the design...
they will say: but what about the water mountain that forms behind ships???
cursed Luz picture
Actually if you are using drone even in 500 meters above the curve is noticeable already. You can also test it by a ship that going to horizon you will notice that the ship is going down.
Once I found a flat earther that claimed the moon was a 2D object that changed from solid to gas to liquid. Someone pls explain how the actual heck that works
When you took out the flat tray and show it as a curvature when you look at some altitude above it, I was rolling over the floor and laughing. And especially after you showed the square and a corner of that as well. Brilliant. Keep it up.
@@thomasvanderzande5846 Did you even watch the video
or maby you did, but just said it was Strawmanning your arguments when it clearly wasnt?
@@thomasvanderzande5846 anything that occurs within the heliocentric model and the spherical earth both prove themselves using any known mathematical concept, whereas any flat earth or earth-centric model is yet to do that consistently and often is missing very important details. I wouldn’t call it indoctrination, the earth is just widely known as a globe because it is observable and measurable as one, whereas flat and earth-centric models simply don’t make sense without conflicting details or magic paracausal forces. If there was an earth-centric or flat model that is consistent with all natural occurring phenomena (plus other things like human travel methods) on earth then it might be taken seriously, but such a thing hasn’t been made.
@@OwenGebhard There is no flat earth model (and also not a heliocentric model BTW), and that is not really relevant anyway, since we do not live on a model (turning a model into your reality would be a reification fallacy, a logical fallacy). Furthermore, I have never observed a globe, have you? That statement of yours is simply not true. As for measurements, I have not seen them either, and how can one measure a (pre-assumed) radius anyway. But if you have measurements, please tell me , I will take a look (warning I know all the claims out there already). Also, I didn't claim to have a flat earth model, so it's bit of a strawman logical fallacy as well. BTW, Owen, thanks for your reaction, because it is polite and civil. Something that cannot be said of some/ most other reactions here.
@@thomasvanderzande5846 nobody said we were turning a model into reality wtf. The globe model came about from people observing and measuring the earth (and stars, planets, moons) over thousands of years, proving or disproving previous knowledge/theories as our ability to observe more precisely increases with technology. Our understanding of the globe earth changes over time because the scientific community have open minds to new findings. And by “model” I don’t just mean a little toy globe, I mean an accurate scalable simulation of what is observed and measured in reality. You are fundamentally misunderstanding both the meaning of the word model here.
What I am saying is that flat earthers have never produced a model (a mathematically consistent visualization) of a flat earth that isn’t vastly oversimplified, untested, and contradictory to both itself and our observable reality. This is because flat earth logic comes from a lack of understanding and a lack of care for the scientific method. Nothing is measured, and each detail is made up to conform to your beliefs and biases. The globe earth model was created by literally measuring the earth, mapping and calculating the trajectories of the stars, calculating observable forces, and then trying to figure out how it all fits spatially. The flat earth community is not taken seriously because they already have a conclusion that they are stuck to before it is tested, that they then are trying to fit everything from the real world into. It’s completely unscientific.
On top of that I often see flat earthers completely disregard solid evidence of globe earth simply because they can’t understand it, instead they choose to call it ridiculous so that they don’t feel dumb. Meanwhile they are making up magic answers to suit their untested beliefs that would make far less sense if they cared to go into any detail.
And yes I have seen evidence of both a globe earth with my own eyes. I’m lucky enough to have been on a plane where I could see the curvature of the earth. Hell, I can even see it from the beach. Also I can see that during a lunar eclipse the shadow the earth casts on the moon always has circular curve. Flat earthers are too attached to their preconceived conclusions that they forget to simply just look at the natural world around them and draw conclusions from that, not the other way around.
@@thomasvanderzande5846 You saying “how can one measure a radius anyway” is a classic example of the flat earth mindset of “i don’t understand it therefore it can’t be true.” The circumference and other measurements of the earth were never “pre-assumed” it has actually been fairly closely estimated since ancient Greece.
A man named Eratosthenes measured the angle of the shadows of two rods, at noon on the summer solstice, at set locations a known distance apart. One cast no shadow as the sun was directly above it, and the other did as it was at an angle of about 7.2 degrees. Using the measurement of the angle which is approximately 1/50th of a circle, the distance between the two points multiplied by 50 gave him an estimate that is actually pretty close.
This is sort of a simplifed version of the story but I can also provide more detailed sources that have visualizations.
Flat earthers however, say that this difference in shadows is caused by the sun being much closer than what has been measured, making the sun cast rays on earth at different angles rather than being near-parallel. Though this causes a lot of inconsistencies and contradictions when considering many other natural occurrences. The distance of celestial bodies was also estimated way back in ancient greece as well using parallax, how closer objects will appear to shift more than farther objects when viewed at two different angles. Like when you hold a finger in front of your face and alternate closing one eye and the other, your finger will appear to shift back and forth much more drastically than something farther away in the background. They knew that the sun was far enough away to cast near parallel rays on the earth because they calculated it. They were super smart back then but they still didn’t have a clear and complete vision/understanding of the whole earth. We have a more complete understanding now not because anything was pre-assumed, but because with better technology and more knowledge we have supported many of their theories and also disproven many. The nature of the scientific process is not to look only for evidence to support your theories/conclusions. It’s about letting your findings show you if what was previously thought is correct, kinda close, or way off.
One additional detail: on a flat Earth there would not even _be_ a distinct horizon, unless you were close enough to the edge to see it.
The Horizon appear the same on a large ball or a flat plane. Because the eye is the eye and it asks how it acts plane or large ball
@@twindragon64ify Not true. As I already said, if the Earth was flat the only 'horizon' would be the edge.
@@twindragon64ify if depth didn't exist maybe. But we don't live and perceive in 2d.
@@Grim_Beard wrong
@@twindragon64ify Nope. The existence of the observable horizon proves that the Earth isn't flat. Feel free to keep digging yourself deeper though: explain how a distinct horizon, which is not the edge of the Earth, is possible on a flat Earth.
Now they're saying we're on an infinite plain lmao. Just jumping from one thing to the next...
So they just believe if they kept walking in a straight line you would end up in a different dimension? Or is there some magical barrier that once you cross it you get teleported back to the other side of the world?
They constantly move the goal post. If it is an infinite/continuous plane, then obviously it's a sphere. A flat plane is finite no matter how big. I swear they just make up stuff as they go.
After trying to discuss with flat earthers and other conspiracy thinkers I have ended on the conclusion that the quote is not only very precise, it is extremely fitting:
"Never argue with an idiot, they will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience" - Mark Twain
We flat earthers feel the same about globers, mostly because they keep trying to squeeze the two theories into one which is utterly ridiculous. Both theories work well but cannot be combined as they are based on completely different observations.
@@lagomorphia9
I have never and will never try to fit a flat earth hypothesis into a spherical globe theory.
Have you ever wondered why the earth is the only flat object in the universe according to your believes?
Clearly you can see Mars, Jupiter and Saturn with a pair of binoculars....they are all round. You don't need to believe me saying this...go out and look for yourself.
Venus you can simply see with the bare eyes....it is round.
Why should the earth be flat?
And a very intriguing question is what is on the OTHER side of the earth if it is flat?
Like on a coin, there is a reverse side...what is there?
It doesn't take much to understand that the flat earth hypothesis (because it is NOT a theory) is wrong.
I have been working within natural science and cartography for over 30 years and there is nothing in the flat earth hypothesis that adds up. It is basically lots of different suiting evidence, but put together it doesn't hold water.
Even the old Egyptians calculated the circumference of a spherical globe down to a few miles error.
We have known that the earth is a sphere for more that 4000 years.
It is however correct that earth is not a PERFECT sphere....circumference measured around the equator is slightly longer then measured across the poles and this is due to the centrifugal force that arises from the rotation of the earth. This does not mean that the earth is flat, it is just not a perfect sphere.
I have heard that within the flat earth society some people denies that we have satellites in orbit around the earth.
If that was thru why can I calculate the delay time on a phone call between US an Europe. And how does a satellite telephone work at all out in the wilderness miles and miles away from the nearest antenna station, where you clearly have no reception on you mobile....how is the satellite telephone working....and how is GPS, Galileo and other positioning system working.

Well, to be honest, flat earthers have a habit of debunking themselves :
- When they buy a laser gyroscope and pick a 15° per hour drift up (Thanks Bob !).
- When they admit they use Google maps to drive around (or when they do without confessing it).
- When they try and provide a fake FE map like the Gleason map which is a projection of the globe as stated by its creator in the patent, but they forgot to "do their own research" about it.
- When they say Antarctica Treaty prevents anyone from going there but run away when provided a video of the Treaty being read out loud.
- When they show they have no scientific literacy by misusing the word theory when they are talking about a scientific theory.
- When they pretend celestial navigation is based on flat Earth and get hit with the BOWDITCH.

Great video by the way 👍
- When they say density is responsible for objects falling down but run away when presented with a video of objects falling down in a vacuum chamber.
- When they ignore G in the buoyancy formula.
- When they claim gas pressure needs a glass dome for containment but can't explain the pressure gradient decreasing to near zero going at altitude. Or how the plasma sun seems fine without any container.
- When they claim the Moon is a luminary but can't explain why the Moon has phases and shadows.
- When they claim planets are luminaries but run away when called out on fuzzy and deliberately out-of-focus turbulent footages of planets.
- When they claim they can see further to the horizon but shy away when asked their elevation.
- When they claim receding ships don't go down beneath the horizon but only show footages of ships moving sideways. And shy away when asked to record ships moving away from them into the horizon.
"Thanks Bob" meme will *never* get old.
Thank you Daddy.
Also doing the laser/ visibility experiment across large bodies of water.
If the earth is flat, three towers of the same height should appear inline, not falling below the horizon, and a laser cast from one height on one tower towards the same height on the second tower should hit the third tower also on the same height.
In reality, because the earth is curved, part of the third tower disappears below the horizon, and the laser hits much higher up.
This has also been done by watching for a helicopter in place of the third tower, where the helicopter flies up or down above the shoreline until it can be seen from the shoreline on the other side of the lake/ bay. Because there is a curve, (given the horizontal distance is large enough), the helicopter has to fly several meters above ground to be seen.
- When they take pictures of city skylines across water to prove it doesn't sink and you can clearly tell the bottom levels and ground are missing.

Following on with the basketball video. I love the one where they dump a bucket of water on a ball and show that water does not cling to a curved surface. Well, about the 3rd time I saw that I said to myself...well the ball is wet right? And so, I did the math using an NBA Basketball. It turns out that if the water on the basketball was about the same depth as a human hair, then it would be covered with water that is about the average depth of the oceans on Earth. Which I found hilarious. I know the mechanism holding the water on the Basketball is different. I also know that if I had chosen a different ball to model then the result would be different. I just thought it was funny that it works pretty closely for a basketball.
The water tending to run off the ball might also have something to do with the gravitational field of the basketball being somewhat dwarfed by that of the planet right beneath it, which is also something that flat-earthers seem to overlook.

@@williejesse726 Then flat Earthers must be called flat Earthers because their brain activity has flat-lined and their stupidity is out of this world.
@@williejesse726 this just states flat earth terms rather than explaining anything let along addressing what was said in the vid.
I had the same idea, and wonder how their arguments get started in the first place.
That Concorde picture: Boy that must have been a really long Go Pro stick for that footage. :D
Big bipod
I wondered that too
This is exactly what I've been trying to tell them for years, but I never had the commitment to produce a video about it. Thank you immensely.
The concord is normally bent and they flattened it out for the picture. No matter what you say the silly people will take a few seconds and then come up with a silly retort that will have you rolling your eyes and doing a facepalm. If the Earth is flat then why does it cast a disc-shaped shadow on the moon?
@@vincewilson1 the earth doesn't cast a shadow on the moon. Observations of the sun and the moon being above the horizon during an eclipse at selenlion prove the earths shadow is not causing an eclipse
@@vincewilson1 ive seen Reckits chimney in Hull from 2 miles out at sea , i could see about half of it , click on the chimney on googleearth then drag a line to a few miles off Withinsea coast , its approximately 25miles , its 465ft tall .

Another well documented video. Thanks.
@@savagelevel714 but your cut'n'paste spam post doesn't address the irrefutable points made in this video.
Also if gravity is just density then why does dropping a heaver than air object accelerate downwards if the surrounding air is the same density in all directions ? or why don't released objects in a vacuum chamber just remain suspended in mid-air err ... vacuum ? You haven't thought this through have you sunshine ?
Flat earthers: "Earth is flat"
Others: *Come up with very good counter argument*
Flat earthers: "Anyway. If you are vaccinated, you are evil"
Exactly.
Yeah, cult-like mindsets do jump to evil pretty quick. Foolish, perhaps, depending on the jab being mentioned, but hardly evil.
Globers always vaguely claim to have "very good counterarguments" but when it comes down to specifics (and it isn't just a video of a glober zealot monologueing without the opportunity for counterarguments from the opposing side like this video) it soon becomes clear the globe side of this debate doesn't have a single non-fallacious argument for their side. There literally aren't ANY examples of independently verifiable observations / experimentation verifying the globe side of the debate over the flat side.
@@lightbeforethetunnel lol ok whatever you say
Vaccination is a completely different topic.
Corona has shown how the federal ministry of health just kept lying to us about the vaccine.
"The vaccine prevents the spread of corona." (6 months later the truth came out that in fact it didn't. Even when vaccinated people can get the virus into their system and then spread it around)
Then: "The vaccine prevents infection." (Few months later again truth came out that in fact it didn't. Vaccinated people still showed symptoms)
But in my experience arguing with globers about vaccines is equally as stupid as arguing with flattards about their idiotic model. After all Americans give their babies, before they turn 1 year old, around 60 doses of vaccines, and claim these have no side effects whatsoever.
And don't get me started on Measles! Morons everywhere...
On a flight the plane had a camera on the nose that was streamed at 38,000 ft and you could clearly see the curvature
I'm familiar with the type of lens that is used in these 'aircraft' cameras - they are fitted with distorting wide-angle lenses.
The curvature you think you're seeing is in fact a false representation of the actual observable curvature.
Having said that, I'm not implying that the earth isn't actually a spherical planet, which it is of course.
Elon, please send a Flat Earther crew up and live stream it. It would be legendary and totally worth the funds.
Pretty sure Elon is already a flat earther
Nice one, but I would be surprised if a flat earther can ever be convinced.

Same to you people. You accept cgi
It usually goes:
FE: "Looks flat to me, so it must be flat."
Normal Person: "But I can see a very slight curve..."
FE: "Fisheye lens!"
Normal Person: "... with my eyes when compared to that straight line."
FE: "It looks curved because our eyes are round."
🤷♀
Where do you see a slight curve?
Curved water too? Where?
Cavemen 200,000 years ago: Earth look flat, therefore flat.
Flat-Earthers in 2022: Earth look flat , therefore flat.
My conversations usually go like this, can you show me one real picture of what we live on? They then proceed to grab a CGI picture off of the net. Then I say, that's CGI, and they then proceed to say it has to be CGI it's impossiBAAL to show you an actual real time picture.

You have no measurement and no functioning map for a fe thus the earth is not flat. The globe earth measurements and maps all work confirming the globe.
I’m always amazed at the flat earther’s inability to perform the obvious and simple test to prove their perspective. They just need to pick 2 points in the Southern Hemisphere. Measure the distance between the 2 points. If the distance matches the distance predicted by flat earth, then they are right. If the distance matches the globe earth, than they are wrong.
I thought you were going to say an even easier one which is "go to any two points in the southern hemisphere, when you look south and you will see the southern cross, why can you see it as easily from any point in the southern hemisphere, and depending on the season, you can see it from sun down to sun up. Uh.... why? Those should all be in completely different directions if you're in Cape Town, Sydney, or Punta Arenas"
@@anticarnick The fact that none of the flatties are drifting in space has already proven the Earth is not on a flat plane.
Don't confuse them with facts. They will only shout "magnetism!" Or "refraction!" Then scuttle off into the darkness.
My eyes have always detected a curve even at see level, I have also travelled overseas by plane and that high above the earth the curvature is much more obvious and unmistakable. The arguments against this are just stupid.
I am a Christian, and it's plain stupid for supposed Christians to think the earth is flat because the Bible uses some words that are not literal. For instance, the "angels gather from the four corners of the earth," but then it would have to be a flat square or flat rectangle, which you covered. For me, the biggest argument against flat earth besides the eclipses is that the seasons are opposite on the northern and southern hemispheres and the stars that are visible in the northern hemisphere are not visible from the southern hemisphere and vice aversa. Long before Jesus Christ they calculated the circumference of the earth at the equator correctly. In the beginning, God created- Genesis 1 is absolutely literally true, and the book of Revelation is true also, so people need to read the Bible and find the truth of Jesus Christ now. You have a really beautiful dog too. God bless.
Great job to come up with new arguments after so many debunking videos!!!
If the Earth were actually flat, cats would have knocked everything off by now.
Smartest family in texas
That's what I always face my belief of the Earth being round on.
Very smart! How old are you? I cant even smile...
I think the answer is more obvious....if they're right then they could see Australia using a powerful telescope.....I would take that bet!
A great example of visible curve is visible on the Pontchartrain Causway that goes out of Nee Orleans to I believe Crowley is one of the longest bridges in the world. If you look at the power line towers that run beside the bridge about halfway across in either direction you can see the curve as they fall away on either side.
One of my favourite videos is of Prof Brian Cox taking a flight in an RAF jet and flying towards the setting sun at a location where the Earths rotational speed is just around 600Mph (yes flat Earthers the Earth has different rotational speeds) and he watched the setting sun rising back up over the horizon, he was flying faster than the Earths rotation at that point. It was beautiful. Oh and why Earth is a ball, - Gravity. :)

"flat earth theory that disproves itself"
do you have any idea how little that narrows it down lol
The picture of the horizon with flat bars above and below is brilliant. First time I've seen it. Simple and cheap. I'll have to try it one day but I don't live on a coast.
Hi Dave. I just found your channel. Love your work already. You make an excellent argument for all those flat-earthers who claim that "the earth is flat because they can't see a curvature." I'd just like to add my own voice into your comments.
To Any Flat Earthers who want answers: You are following the same path that scientists have for five hundred years- except for one major point.
The scientists looked out at the earth, asked 'why' and "how does this work" about the world around them, and tried to understand it. That part is good.
The one major point you are missing is that - when someone else makes points disproving your ideas, or an experiment gives you data contradicting your ideas - you need to "TAKE THOSE INTO CONSIDERATION."
Scientists were and still are arguing about the results of experiments and observations. They have been discussing everything we know for five hundred years. That is exactly how they came to know and understand things, by reviewing and modifying science based on the evidence. Every time a major experiment happens, or a satellite exploring another planet reveals a new piece of data, science changes.
Not completely; not anymore. Scientists already know a lot about our surrounding world and solar system. But when something new is discovered, scientists quickly make slight modifications to their understanding to include anything truly new. There are new updates almost daily, based on what the new Webb telescope discovers by itself. Does this change physics and our understanding completely? No. but it DOES increase our understanding of it.
So, when I say that the earth is shaped generally like a sphere, it is.
And if you still don't believe it because you can't see the curve... That's simply because of how much larger the earth is than you are. The earth has a diameter of 12,742,000 meters, and the average human height is only 1-2 meters. That means the earth's diameter is over 6 million times our average height. If you want to talk about seeing, our eyes are only 5-6 centimeters apart (a centimeter is 1/100th of a meter). So if you wonder why the earth seems so flat, it's because we are really, really, really, REALLY, really really small when compared to the earth.
You would have to get up to the edge of space just to START to see the curvature of the earth.
Oh, and also, check out calculus. In the late 1600's, Sir Isaac Newton put out one of the original works about calculus. It is a mathematical science. The premise for the calculus integration is that "...Take any curved surface. If you take a smaller and smaller piece of that curve, at some point the curve will become a flat line or a flat plane." That is one of the basic definitions of calculus, and that is exactly why we seem to see a flat earth.
To summ it up, we live in Minecraft and the world is infinite 😂 we are all a simulation run my mojang 🤣 it generally makes more sense than the flat earth
Dave I just found your channel today. I love your videos! Thank you for taking the time to try to end this idiocy! 🙌🏼
@@allsouls5997 nope. Not one thing he has ever shared has refuted anything concerning the globe. The fact that measurement confirms the globe and globe earth maps work is all it takes to show the earth is a globe. In the meantime you can't even provide a single measurement or functioning fe map to support you. Game. Set. Match.

@There is zero pictures of earth from space.

So for all us with functioning brains, let"s just ask any one of them to take us to the edge. Great entertainment and educational, but wasting oxygen on debate is just that. Same groups that argue the age of the earth, evolution, etc. (See a pattern?)
The question I always ask is ‘who benefits from the flat Earth cover up?’ Without a benefit what is the point of a cover up?
Satan benefits, because belief in the globe turns us from God. That's what they say, anyway.

Don’t all flat earth arguments disprove flat earth?
Sometimes the lens may curve the image so much, that it looks like the Earth is curving inwards. Like a hollow Earth or the middle of a donut.
I just think that's funny.
Anyone who has ever spent any time at sea understands that the earth is a sphere. Objects (land, other ships) coming over the horizon are seen topmost first - the highest point of that object is wheat you initially see. The *only* explanation for this is if the object is traveling over the surface of a sphere.
