A straight line can be defined by two fixed points in space. that does not mean any line crossing both points is straight. 90% of earths population receiving sunlight does not mean 90% of the earths surface is.

Maybe if he'd put bungs in each end of his tube, then moved them up & down, he would have freaked out totally. ( Or just not posted the video ). When both ends are open to the atmosphere, they are at the same atmospheric pressure above the 2 menisci [ assuming that they are geographically close ]. THAT's why they are at the same height. Using the surface of his 'garden' as the datum for his height measurements always looked like a dumb idea, especially when he never provided any evidence that he thought THAT was 'flat'. Lifting up one end of the tube means that he is pushing the same volume of water into a smaller volume of tube. Inevitably some will spill out, & I personally would be shocked & amazed if it spilled out of the higher end. He talks about separating the tube ends by " hundreds of miles", which opens the possibility of having different atmospheric pressure at each location. How is he going to establish his measuring datum to record that the heights in the tube are exactly the same then?

As Dr. Tyson is fond of saying, "The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you." (That quote fits better at the end, but I figured not many people would see it there.) The funniest part about saying (16:20) "quantum mechanics makes no sense to me" is that it made no sense to the very people who developed it, either! They were quite perplexed, and Einstein is famously quoted as saying "God does not play dice" (though that's something of a misrepresentation, as he later clarified in a letter, "God tirelessly plays dice under laws which he has himself prescribed," as in, the rules themselves do not just change at random or based on human observation of the results). And yet, they were smart enough not to deny the evidence from well constructed experiments, and managed to develop a coherent theory which precisely describes the behavior we see at such mind-bogglingly miniscule scales. Even as we developed better and better experiments and ways of taking measurements and so on, QM has continued to hold up. It's gotten to the point where the ever-shrinking transistors on our most modern computer processors, if designed without taking quantum mechanics into account, would constantly malfunction and crash, or (even worse) would produce erroneous results, because of the uncertainties QM introduces at those scales. The only way classical CPU designers have managed to continue pushing Moore's Law down into those scales is by having a very good understanding of how QM affects these devices and redesigning them to work around these effects. In fact, we are now seeing the development of a new style of "quantum computer" which functions on completely different principles from a classical computer (or Turing Machine), and these devices literally could not function at all if quantum mechanics was _in any way_ inaccurate. Yet the competition between developers is intense and they have been getting better and better, and not just on a linear trajectory. Again, "The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you." We evolved to make sense of a world at the scale of our personal experiences -- our height, our mass, the range of frequencies we can hear, the things we can see. Just because this is how things behave at this scale does not mean other things at other scales must behave in the exact same way.
