Bob the idiot is confusing the limit of angular resolution of the eye which is controlled by the spacing distance between the cones at the fovea and tells you at what the angle between two separate objects (say lines or any detail really) is required for your visual system to be able to identify them as separate objects rather than appearing as a blurred single object. But with a bright enough light source there is no restriction to angular size of the source for it to be seen as a near point source, all that happens is there is a minimum apparant size of source perceived by you can not get finer due to the area of your visual field mapped by one cone, so a star very far away whose light hits just one cone appears as a near point source and one the same size twice as far away will appear as the same size until magnified because its light also hit just one cone. The minimum required is 1 cone to be activated possibly by as few as 3 photons (in perfect conditions) and you can perceive a light. Obviously this means the angular subtense of the source can be tiny. Bob fails at physics.

[@stuartgray5877]

"he explains away the reflected light argument by saying that we can only see an object if the light is reflected from it at a very specific angle." Well the statement is actually right. To see the ISS from the ground the observer must be looking a the ISS when the solar arrays are at a specific angle with respect to the observer on the ground and the sun. (This is called the EPS angle of earth-probe-sun angle) The online tracking software partially accounts for this in telling us viewing opportunities There are many time the ISS flies over head and we CANNOT see it with the naked eye because it appears dark. That is when the ISS is in "eclipse" or when the arrays are oriented such that there is very little reflection back at the ground. You used to be able to catch the "Iridium Flares" of spacecraft (when they were still up there) that were very specific "flashes" of light when the EPS angle was perfect for your particular location. The iridium sats are no longer up there so now the fad is spotting SpaceX's Starlink satellites.

One of the saddest things are people, such as Bob, who purposely delude themselves when presented with direct evidence against which they are arguing.

[@thudthud5423]

The Flat Earth cult relies heavily on dishonesty - imposed on others or on one's self. Without dishonesty, the FE cult would fade into nothingness.

[@mossbanksy]

In Bob we see a man gaslighting himself.

[@aarongarcia9880]

18:20 The brightness of the ISS does change as it flies overhead. I have seen the reflection dim as it goes to the horizon. Bob must be blind or ignorant in many ways not to know this.

[@wizardsuth]

If he wanted to sound more credible, he should have *measured* the apparent size and brightness of this object that he says we can't see in the first place... Never mind.

[@TheOwlman]

Oh Aaron, you left out option 3: Bob just lied... I know he looks like a nice guy, it doesn't stop him simply lying for Flattardia (superchat ker-ching). With the old 15 degree BS I used to think of him as an amiable buffoon but his totally made up and dangerous spouting concerning the current pandemic changed my mind, he is a lying idiot with an agenda.

[@TheKurtHamilton]

Love it when flerfs come out with the phrase: "There is not one photo or video of {x}" - where x is something that has photos and videos of it online. This is along with the lines of "{x} cannot explain {y}", which translates as "I do not [want to] understand {y}".

[@idontthinkso2431]

X is just animation. CGI, photoshoped, hollywood

Y doesn't even exist. Do your research.

X is just a theory. Therefore y can be explained by perspective / magic / this thing i just pulled out my ass.

Bob: "I can't find anything on internet about the ISS being built" Someone: *Shows a couple of videos of ISS being built* Bob: "Sure, if you wanna believe that. . " WTF Bob!?! Why say that you can't find a video of ISS being built, when you don't even want to accept that it exists. Thanks for nothing, Bob.

[@sixheadeddog]

Dan, this video appears to lose audio at around 12:23-ish, when the video of the ISS moving comes on. Which means we're missing at least one of the zingers you throw at Bob when you cut into the footage. :(

[@jldgaming7138]

I thought my tv broke at first 😂

if Bob or the person who filmed that clip used copy-written music he may have had to cut the audio from it.

It was copyrighted music

Bob: (Shows video of ISS transiting, changing in brightness) Also Bob: How is it that the ISS doesn't change in brightness?

[@Forest_Fifer]

He went the "no videos" route. Wow. Blatant shameless lying. Kevin Gustafson has a great series showing the history of the ISS, with film or reconstructions in KSP of all the flights, all the construction steps, the works,

[@fishdaddy35]

Flerfers don’t understand anything, including how light works, how sight works, and so on. What “Bob” doesn’t cover is “then WHAT are we seeing up there, Bob?” All they have is personal incredulity and laughter.

[@Paulus449]

I love how Bob uses winky smiley faces on his stock background PowerPoint slides to really accentuate the scientific integrity of his arguments.

[@ck58npj72]

I have had an ISS tracker on my phone, when it indicated that it could be seen from my backyard, I went out and saw it cruising through the sky at a fantastic speed. It was cool!

[@XiamaraTheLuckyMu]

i always look in the sky for it during my dog walks at midnight. Amazing bit of engineering.

[@joesycamore2899]

Same here

[@leec988]

Holy shit! He can't actually still believe himself can he?! For a lot of that 'speech' he seemed like he was sweating from the pressure of going nobody would point out any one of the many problems with his 'theories'. Maybe some people's minds just melt when they are confronted with the idea of the vastness of space and the incredible speeds objects can reach there?

[@MJJFilms]

Lee C He doesn’t believe himself. Bob knows Earth is a sphere, he just pretends to be dumb because he’s a con artist deluding people for money. He specifically chooses to talk about things that he can make believable on a Flat Earth, while completely ignoring everything that would prove him wrong.

[@ruufs2384]

I actually think he just wants to test out what he can get people to blindly repeat (and maybe making a bit of money from it)

[@theindiediary5950]

This man doesn't believe in any of this stuff. He's only invested in the flat earth community because it makes him money.

[@markbeiser]

From my experience chatting with regular flerfs at the FEIC in Dallas, he wasn't in much danger of getting called out on any of the problems with his DERP...

[@PaulBrown-uj5le]

Cognitive dissonance at it's finest.

[@TamiyaTalkRC]

I'm late to the party, sorry. I know flat earthers aren't great with math, but at 3:10, he puts up " some 'facts' about the ISS". First dot point; Pressurised module length: 167.3 feet (73 metres) Third dot point; Solar array length: 239.4 feet (73 metres) I didn't bother looking further. If they can't get simple conversions correct, then how do they expect anybody to take them seriously? Love your channel, Dan. Keep it up, mate.

[@tiberiu_nicolae]

I never bothered to divide 360 degres by 24h but now I know it's 15 thanks to this guy lol.

[@TobiasKremer]

The mirror thing might be among the craziest thing I ever heard. The ISS if reflecting light just as Bob is: in all directions at the same time. This guy was an engineer? His understanding of basic optics and physics is much worse then my own. And I majored in electrical engineering and computer science. I really wonder what kind of engineering he did.

[@NASA-Shill]

The ISS solar panels don't have 100% efficiency, and so it's going to reflect some light.
