Eric Dubay Sucks at Life (200 Flat Earth “Proofs” Debunked)

It's been quite some time since I checked in with flat earthers, those pathetic grifters peddling the dumbest hoax in the history of the human species. But I felt compelled to revisit the subject in order to debunk the fraud who is still regarded as some kind of flat earth messiah, Eric Dubay. His ridiculous pamphlet commonly referred to as "200 Flat Earth Proofs" was just a rehashed version of a pamphlet from nearly two centuries prior by a fellow named Sam Rowbotham. So what could these proofs be? Do any of them hold water? Not a single one, in fact. However idiotic you think they're going to be, I promise they are much worse. Watch me obliterate them all rapid fire!

correct! to be honest mathematics make a lot of presumptions. however those presumptions need to be present as for the theorem to make any sense. since his presumptions do not apply for our earth they are incorect. Like the Banach Tarski's theorem/paradox. pressumption is that the object can be separated into infinite amount of pieces and rearanging those pieces can create 2 copies of the object you have started with. presumptions are good, however don't come to wrong conclusions when those presumptions are not present.

Flat earth fails on every point. The geocentric flat earth has... • No working model, or map. • No way to determine proper distances, or directions between two point on the earth not sharing the same longitude. • No explanation for how the sun and the moon circle the earth, or how the sun migrates from the tropic of Capricorn to the tropic of Cancer and back over the year. • No idea why the ancient Greeks such as Pythagoras, Aristotle, Eratosthenes and Aristarchus believed the earth was a sphere. • No idea what P and S shockwaves detected by seismology equipment tells us about the internal structure of the earth, and the shape and dimensions of the surface of the earth. • No idea what powers the sun and the stars. • No idea of the distance to the stars. • No ideas as to why almost all stars don't appear to change position in the sky from opposite sides of earth's orbit around the sun when the phenomena of parallax says they should, and why we can only use the parallax method for measuring the distance of stars that are closest to the earth. Luckily, Polaris is one that we can determine the distance to using parallax, because it is also a Cepheid variable star, which allows the distance to be measured to much more distant stars where the parallax method not longer works. • No idea of the distance from the earth to the planets, or even much about them at all. • No idea why binary stars obey Newton's law of gravitation. • No explanation as to why we can only see 59% of the total surface area of the moon when, from a flat earth perspective we should be able to see most of it, including the dark side of the moon. • No idea why the moon appears upside down in the southern hemisphere compared to how it looks in the northern hemisphere, and why the phases of the moon are on opposite sides of the Moon, and why it looks circular from all vantage points on the earth. • No idea why sunspots rotate in the opposite direction in the southern and northern hemispheres, or even what sun spots are. • No believable explanation for how GPS is implemented across the world. • No explanation as to why aircraft carry ring laser gyros onboard capable of detecting the rotation of the earth. • No idea how it is possible to develop gravitational maps of the earth's surface, or why anyone would want one, or how they could be used. • No explanation for how eclipses work, especially lunar eclipses, or how to predict them correctly. • No idea why the Humber bridge, the Verrazzano Narrows bridge are built to account for the earth's curvature. • No idea why CERN, LIGO and the Stanford linear accelerator vacuum rings and arms are constructed to take account of the earth's curvature. • No idea why physicists working on LIGO, the gravity wave detector, were awarded Nobel prizes in physics. • No idea why geodetic surveyors keep claiming the earth is an oblate spheroid. • No idea why Google Earth does not publish its underlying flat earth model that allows it to project the earth as a globe. • No explanation as to why the sun rises due east for everyone on the earth on the equinox. • No idea why an observer on the equator during an equinox does not see the sun set at an angle 19° above the horizon. • No idea why there should be a discernible horizon that looks like the edge of the ocean viewed from a beach. The horizon should really be a blur as the farther we look out across the flat earth, the more light is scattered and the more particles in the atmosphere obscuring the view. • No idea how it is possible to see the sun set twice simply by changing your height above the earth (quickly by just a few tens of metres). • No reasonable explanation as to how Polaris can be used in conjunction with a sextant in the northern hemisphere to determine latitude. • No explanation as to why the Artic and Antarctic experience months of days and nights at differ times of the year. • No explanation why bright little objects called satellites by some are regularly visible in the night sky following a predicted path across the sky • No explanation for how tides work.(What to say about Magma tides, their biscuit Earth should crack in pieces) • No explanation how (most times) boats disappear over the horizon when they should be visible on a flat earth. • No explanation as to why the horizon does not rise to eye level. • No credible explanation why helium balloons fitted with non-fish eye cameras often detect the curvature of the earth. • No credible explanation for the existence of the "Downward" force called gravity. • No explanation that does not implicitly make use of the theory of gravity for the atmospheric pressure gradient from high to low pressure with altitude, especially if we live in a dome. • No idea why (almost without exception) hurricanes and typhoons rotate in opposite directions in northern and southern hemispheres respectively. • No explanation for the Coriolis effect observable in controlled experiments such as those conducted by Ascher H. Shapiro in the 1960s. • No explanation as to why the northern celestial pole rotates counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and the southern celestial pole rotates clockwise in the southern hemisphere. • No idea what Antarctica even looks like, and where the South Pole is physically located. • No idea why Venus has phases. Bye bye Geocentric system. • No idea why planets, e.g. Mars, exhibit retrograde motion. Hello Heliocentric system. • No idea why the planets and their moons in the solar system appear to be obeying Newton's laws of planetary motion. • No explanation whatsoever why Stellar Aberration occurs. • No idea why clouds are illuminated from the bottom at sun set. • Can't explain how a commercial aircraft can fly from Perth to Sydney in only 4 hours 10 mins across the flat earth, as to achieve this, it would need to fly faster than an F18 on afterburner all the way. • No idea why the CO2 atmosphere of Mars appears to "Cling" to the exterior of its spherical spinning surface without the need for physical containment. This phenomenon is observable on others planets too. • No idea why the sun and the moon don't change in angular size from rising to setting by a factor of 2 to 3 since they are local to the earth, and no idea why the sun according to the inverse law of radiation is not 4 to 9 times brighter at midday than at sunset and sunrise when viewed from Australia. • No credible reason why millions of people (mostly scientists, engineers and technicians ) over decades would lie to keep the globe earth alive, and why nations and commercial enterprises, accountable to the voters and shareholders respectively, would spend (waste) $2 trillion a year , each and every year to maintain the globe lie. • No idea how it is possible to measure the value of G, the universal gravitational constant and in so doing, verify the theory of gravity. • No scientific papers publish in the last 100 years supporting the flat earth. • No idea why there is snow on height mountains with a local sun as it has to get warmer and snow should melt if you get closer to the sun. Now the globe earth and the heliocentric model have answers that are consistent with each other to all of the above that the flat earth can't explain, but the globe earth is wrong and the flat earth is correct , even although the flat earth model is almost useless at explaining anything?

[@5peciesunkn0wn]

​@@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306there are four types. The mentally ill, the proudly ignorant, the trolls, and the grifters. Pity the mentally ill, for they typically can't change anything about themselves. Mock the proudly ignorant, for they refuse to improve their understanding of the world. Shame the trolls, for they muddy the waters. Mock and shame the grifters, for they prey on the first three.

[@NeutralDrow]

They like to pretend light arbitrarily stops at 3000 miles. I learned that from a flerf in the comments of one of Dave McKeegan's videos. When I pointed out that you can see the sun at the same time in both Oslo, Norway and Cape Town, South Africa (distance: roughly 6300 miles), they resorted to one of the things Dave called out in this vid, and just lied about the number.

[@MarkAhlquist]

@@NeutralDrow But then they'll hold up pictures of places that they can see with a camera, supposedly too far away to see because of curvature, but they can see because the earth if flat. But they can't take a picture of the sun at night.

[@Magneticitist]

The point doesn't matter either way cause the guy is talking about a material that bends. When they are laying the track down it's literally bending and will conform to the ground. He acts like they need to be engineering a specific hardened angle that accounts for curvature.

[@LeSarthois]

@@Magneticitist This guy would be mind blown to see footage of TGV tracks being laid down... with rails that are so long they are carried across whole freight train length... and the rails BEND while being carried. Grated it's mostly on the horizontal plan, but they would be flexible vertically too. Also, one specific point of the TGV compared to other high speed trains is that it's able to take inclines as "steep" as 35 mm/m without losing speed. So yeah, trains doesn't need no superflat tracks, even high speed ones. And we won't talk about rack-and-pinion trains.

[@raptorjesus6120]

@@Dano6sic69 Flat earth is just a stand-in for the bottomless well of idiocy that scientists around the world have to work hard to constantly disprove or debunk. And, anisaliu is right to assume that that is the reason why we are not making the world a better place or even moving in the right direction. Want a few examples? Climate change: It's taken about 50 years now for thousands of scientists to establish that, yes indeed, climate change is happening and it's caused by us. It's been 50 years of us sitting on our hands doing nothing because "free thinkers" believe it's all just a big hoax, and multinational fossil fuel companies have the money to spend on divisive propaganda. Vaccines cause autism: They don't, but all it took was one "study" to convince "free thinkers" of the rebellious truth. Dozens of scientists have since provided proof to the contrary, but the damage has been done. UPF: Ultra-processed food has been the main driver for obesity and a general decline in health and longevity. The major food manufacturers all have access to their own scientists, unfortunately, and so for every study that conclusively proves the damage wrought by UPF consumption, they simply throw money at studies from their own scientists, which naturally leads to the dispersal of misinformation and doubt in the general populace. Obviously, I have to keep it brief in a youtube comment section, but you get the general idea, I hope. There's so much time, money, and energy spent on debate that should go towards trying to improve the situation or at least prevent disaster.

It's funny how they think people believed in flat earth before the acceptance of heliocentrism. Christopher Columbus arrived in America decades before Copernicus's work on heliocentrism was published, in fact Copernicus was still a 19 year old student at the time, and Columbus was trying to reach India by going westwards _because he knew the earth was a sphere_ . The spherical nature of the earth was widely known already, he just made an error in calculating the distance.

No. Flat earth was proven wrong more than a thousand years before Copernicus and Galileo proved heliocentrism.
