csimet At the moment, flat earthers don't seem to affecting anything except driving some people nuts with their videos. They're irritating but basically harmless. I'd worry more about people with real power in government or business who can actually affect your life. Now you might say "but they vote for people I hate!" In answer to that I'd refer you to the many videos of people getting questions wrong about basic things like the number of months in a year for example. Generally the subjects of these videos are young, urban and racially diverse. In other words they probably tend to vote differently than flat earthers. And it demonstarates that both sides have numbskulls.

I've never heard a good response to this question. If it is density, and not gravity, then if I was to drop a hammer and feather in a vacuum chamber, they should drop at seperate rates, because the hammer is denser than the feather, and they are both in a 0 density environment with no air resistance. Gravity explains this perfectly, and we have predicted and replicated results time and time again, so how come it doesn't work with density.

In a few years, everyone will have his own answers and live in a world of his own." RIP, grandpa - I think at least I begin to understand.

@@flat_earth_forever Yawn… this tired old bollocks. Where do you get the line about water always being level? Not in any science textbook. Water is subject to gravity, just like everything else. It therefore conforms to the earth with the gravitational force pointing to the center. Not very complicated. And the bit about pressure is even more boring. Why do you think air pressure is lower at altitude? Air molecules are also subject to gravity so there’s a gradient from sea level dropping to zero as you hit outer space. You can measure this gradient as you go up a hill. Hell, you can even feel your ears pop. That a simple enough experiment for you?

It's also important to note that there are aspects of both subjects that we do not have a full understanding of, like the actual mechanism of the pull that both exert. There are quantum functions that have so far not been forthcoming with easy answers, it's also possible that there is some correlation between these separate attractive forces and that finding an answer to one might lead to answers for the other. Accepting that there are things we don't know, even about subjects that are fairly well understood is common in physics, it doesn't mean you get to fill in the blanks with utter nonsense.

Hold up any object in the "air." The air is less dense than the object (say, a pen). The air below the pen is less dense than the pen. The air ABOVE the pen is less dense than the pen. The air to any side of the pen is less dense than the pen. But if you release it, it does DOWN. Always. Never up, or sideways. DOWN, towards the center of the earth. Proving "density" has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with which way the pen will move when you let go of it.

Here is something I’d like fe to explain… In the Navy, we used radar extensively. Ships have incredibly powerful radars that peer through all atmospheric conditions. The antennas for these (and pretty much every other antenna) are placed at the tops of structures called a mast. Even a large and stable ship such as an aircraft carrier does this, despite the challenges to construction and maintenance. Despite this, long range surface search radars are line of sight limited to around 50 miles (there is a smaller surface search radar for close range tracking). Air search radars can detect much smaller objects (aircraft) at much greater ranges, in excess of 250 miles (unclassified). And this just isn’t the U.S. Navy, but all top tier navies throughout the world. With nothing to block them in the middle of the ocean, why can’t the large naval vessels spot another large naval vessel beyond 50 miles regardless of atmospheric conditions, yet track a single seat fighter jet at over 250 miles? I’ll get the popcorn…

However, if we're talking about angular momentum, then we also acknowledge that we "feel" 15 degrees per hour, not the thousands of miles per hour as they always put it. If the Earth was spinning much faster, we would definitely feel it. Spin it fast enough and we would get flung from it, even (ignoring the fact that there wouldn't be a planet in the first place).

You absolutely can do the spirit level experiment. 1. Buy a couple of 100mw green lasers 2. At night, go to either somewhere that's flat for miles, or pick two decently tall hills 3 - 5 miles apart 3. Have you and a partner ascend each one to the same height above sea level 4. Use a compass to make sure you're both facing each other 5. Throw down a couple of sandbags then place a spirit level on top and work it back and forth on the bag until it's exactly level 6. Place the laser pointer on top, stick it with some tape. Both turn on your lasers. If the earth is flat then both lasers will fire at each other, if it's a globe, they'll both fire into the sky and intersect each other at an angle. (Be sure to avoid firing powerful lasers toward any flight paths, as they can hit planes and dazzle the pilots.) Oh and of course water isn't always level, it bulges both towards the moon and 180 degrees away from it, it's called the tide.

I learned the earth was spherical when I was 7, when I found out the center of the earth pulled stuff to the center, BENDING WATER around the earth. I knew more stuff at 7 then these guys as adults. Wow.

4:02 STRAWMAN! We're not talking about graduates VS non-graduates, we're talking about the professors, researchers and the slew of knowledge they obtained and curated (by that I mean, removed from curriculum or changed previous theories that were proven false, because they do that) over the decades and centuries. Of course a degree doesn't make you an expert in all domains, but an university or a research lab do chose people that _are_ (and not TV show experts, mind, you, that is a whole other headache...)

I really liked the spirit level bit. First, he perfectly explains why two spirits levels, placed far apart on a globe will both read as level, because gravity pulls towards the center of the globe. Then he claims that this explanation is contrary to "reality". Apparently, in his "reality", it is not possible for a globe to exist without a flat gravity table "below" it, sucking all fluids (and anything else not nailed down) off the "bottom" of it. What a hoot!

Right. They insist it doesn't exist but take for granted the very reality it creates: one where "down" is towards the Earth and "up" is away from it, but I guess it's easier to pretend it's not real than to come up with any sort of explanation for how gravity can work on a flat Earth.

This reminds me of the old days when I watched flat earth videos without a middleman like scimandan. I allways considered them similar to fail videos. SciManDan functions bassically as failarmy, wonderful work of doing compilations of these fail videos from others. I would write a comment for close to everything this guy said but you did well so that I dont have to do it myself.

It would've been interesting what he argues about map making and the Gleason map - yes, a "damage limitation exercise", but it could've been interesting, as he mentioned the two celestial poles, that can't exist on a flat earth (as the Gleason map shows - and it would get even more ridiculous when showing a projection from the south pole …). This last one makes me even more suspicious about PW …
