Response to Globebusters - The Earth Still Isn't Flat

Last week I posted a video about how we know the Earth is round, from the perspective of modern astronomy. The Flat Earth community did not like it one bit, and the channel "Globebusters" decided to talk for three hours on their livestream about how stupid my video is, and how stupid I am. I didn't really appreciate that, so I decided to make a video about their video to illustrate precisely how little they know about science, and to further reinforce how utterly absurd the Flat Earth "model" is, as well as some of the finer points about the conspiracy. Enjoy!

Two flat earth engineers were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking at its top. A sphericist walked by and asked what they were doing. "We're supposed to find the height of this flagpole," said a flat earther, "but we don't have a ladder." The sphericist took a wrench from a bag, loosened a couple of bolts, and laid the pole down on the ground. The sphericist took a tape measure from the bag, took a measurement and announced, "Twenty one feet, six inches," and walked away. One flat earther shook his head and laughed, "Typical sphericist ! We ask for the height and the sphericist gives us the length!"

There are literally hundreds of thousands of historic records of the existence of Jesus Christ. Was he God in the form of a human?

Without a spinning nickel/iron core in the centre of a sphere there can be no earth's magnetic field. And with no magnetic field there is no North Pole or South Pole. There is no navigation by compass because there is no North Pole for the compass needle to point to. So magnetism requires a sphere. End of.

[@philconey11]

@@petergaskin1811 More specifically, magnetism requires a rapidly rotating sphere or oblate spheroid with a flowing liquid mantle around a solid iron core exciting electrons in order to generate and emit that magnetic field. Mars has a liquid iron/nickel core, and technically that core spins with the planet. That said, it has no liquid mantle and thus has no magnetic field. While the mantle of mars may be hot enough to be ductile or even flow, it doesn't flow with enough intensity to excite electrons in and near the liquid metal. Without this, it won't emit an electromagnetic field. This field would deflect solar radiation and protect the gaseous atmosphere. In the absence of a strong magnetic field, there is no protection for the gaseous atmosphere. Which is why it has very little atmosphere.

@@rayzimmermin First of all, please consider using punctuation in your writing. Second, I am not entirely sure what you are trying to prove here. I don't think he misunderstood the experiment at all. To me, it seems like he was generalizing, giving the most straightforward answer possible so people could understand easily. As you said, almost everyone knows about air resistance. So obviously that would affect the experiment. But the baseline thing he was trying to explain is that you still gain the momentum, but he never said other forces cannot affect that momentum. He was generalizing. And also to be fair, it's not like he was actually giving them a detailed guide on what to do, because chances are, they would ignore it completely and choose to keep believing what they believe anyway. The model of a pickup truck is purely a visualization in which the environment is perfect, such as him adding that the truck needs to stay at the exact same speed the entire time. Of course other phenomenon happen, but it's not worth going through them if it isn't needed. Air resistance doesn't directly refute the overall point he was making. And as I was saying, I don't understand what 'side' you are taking? You are nitpicking at one little detail that isn't hard to explain. The majority of people don't see something that someone missed or didn't mention and immediately attribute that to the person not understanding the concept of said thing. It is much more likely that he knows about it, and he just didn't mention it for the purpose of simplicity. Hope that makes sense? Sorry if I seemed rude throughout this explanation.

[@MichelBiesot]

So tell me how you do it? You are already good in bending truth!

[@Abolishtaxes1997]

@@MichelBiesot Well to explain it in the most baby, beginner, 5th-grade science class way. The "bending" of spacetime is known as time dilation, it's basically a phenomenon where time will move slower for somebody who is in motion relative to another person. Now, at speeds that we humans can travel right now, that difference is basically nothing, the one exception being astronauts on the ISS in which time moved approximately 1 second slower to them than on the surface of the earth. Now to have time differences that are noticeable, the observer to which time dilation is happening would have to be traveling at speeds approaching the speed of light, so I'll do that. Using the time dilation equation which is t = t0/(1-v2/c2)1/2, in which t = the time observed by the observer who is stationary, t0 = the amount of time that has passed to the observer in which time dilation is occurring to/the observer that's in motion, v = the velocity/speed of the observer that's in motion, c = the speed of light in a vacuum. in our problem let's say that v = 0.95c (95% of the speed of light), and t0 = 10 years. you'll get t = 10/ (1- (.95c)2/c2)1/2, and if we do some math that I'm positive you will not understand you'll then get 10 divided 0.312 = t, and since 10/.312 = about 32, the difference equals about 32 years. The same kind of thing happens when you are near a black hole for an extended period of time, like in the movie Interstellar, where 1 hour on the exo-planet equals 7 years on earth. If you're looking for something else, I'll be happy to attempt to explain it to you, but if you decide to be ignorant and discredit a hundred years of research like it's nothing. Then that's not my problem.

@@MichelBiesot lol he was repeating what that flat earth moron said to demonstrate that he's a moron. Professor Dave said "spacetime" and the globe busters said "space and time" then went on the say "not sure how you can bend time, etc" showing they have no clue what they're talking about. Spacetime isnt just time, it's both space and time and treated as one. Also it can be bent or curved by gravity. If your a flat earther like I suspect then gravity doesn't exist to you and this doesn't matter anyways.

[@davidfiler7439]

@@MichelBiesot To cite Einstein who wrote his general theory of relativity in 1915, who found a new way to describe gravity. It was not a force, as Sir Isaac Newton had supposed, but a consequence of the distortion of space and time, conceived together in his theory as 'space-time'. Any object distorts the fabric of space-time and the bigger it is, the greater the effect. Like your question this response will have absolutely no effect on your position as you are nothing more than a primitive little liar for baby jesus who finds 21st c knowledge utterly terrifying.

[@Pandadoxical]

It's been 4 years but I think one thing that really says a lot is that they self-reference quite often. Generally self-referencing is pretty bad because you're effectively assuming everything you say is accurate and that your experiments were also accurate, while using both to prove tangentially or entirely unrelated hypothesis. And this is different from continuing previous research, where you're either building on it or using it to test a theory about a directly related topic. TLDR they self reference and therefore lose credibility.
