“He’s assuming that people who believe the earth is flat also believe in gravity” this took me out 😂😂

[@msgeen]

I think that video was made when flat earthers or least majority of them still believed in gravity. It was the time when they still didn't know that gravity naturally makes massive objects round. Flat earthers always adjust their model and theories everytime they get debunked.

[@RAYRDWallace]

@@msgeennow they say it’s density and buoyancy and electromagnetism. If you replace gravity with electromagnetism then everything would stick together because electromagnetism is way stronger than gravity. It doesn’t matter what flat earthers say. They can’t make this work on a flat earth.

[@fyndrkraze]

@@msgeen no the vid literally mentions the ppl that dont believe in gravity, what

[@exitium4929]

@@RAYRDWallace what? then how do they explain compasses and them pointing at poles, if that's true then the pull on metallic objects would obviously become stronger making them fall faster but the acceleration due to gravity remains a constant no matter its density and weight, the only difference is surface area due to air resistance not only that it would mess with our electronics, satellites and almost everything that uses electricity

[@dayleywhaley2420]

@@msgeen​​⁠Sounds the same as science though, As I know everything in science is open to be disproved and even encouraged, and of course if disapproved the models and theories around a subject would have to be changed right? (I’m not a flat earther)

I once hung out with an engineer who told me he was taking a friend to fly around the world and budgeting for a week to pull it off. I asked him what was his reason. He told me he just had to prove to his friend that the earth was round.

[@VColossalV]

unfortunately for most flat earthers it wont change their view. They didn't arrive at their beliefs through reason. Perhaps this is one rare exception.

[@ryanthompson3737]

Yeah.. they'll post that experience online before all the idiots say he was actually in a simulator with screens on the window, and that his friend is actually a government spy that caught on to him. When you're already in a community that explains everything away as a hoax or government conspiracy, ANY evidence can be explained as a hoax or government conspiracy, even your own senses.

[@rubberspoon]

It's not that we need to prove anything. We are just trying to open your eyes to the facts that you are being bred to believe everything. Believe what you will.

[@VColossalV]

@@rubberspoon In the original post, the flat earther is being taken around the world by their friend because they know it's the only way to convince a flat earther. It's the flat earther that is the one asking for proof, and it is provided to them. I doubt it changed their mind, though. Most flat earthers are wilfully ignorant, they refuse to accept that the earth could be a sphere. It's funny that people who talk like you usually are religious, which are belief systems literally designed to indoctrinate.

[@rubberspoon]

​@@VColossalV It's ok. My life is fine. I am just sad people like you just tell yourself stuff to feel in a position of more relevance. Which is ok for you. I personally just feel bad for you and millions that are being deceived. But that is how the system is set up. Sure go ahead. Call me crazy. Or call me someone that wants to create chaos. Or call me whatever. It matters not to me. Maybe at some point in your life you will realize that there is more than meets the eye. Or maybe you already know and want to keep it to yourself. Whatever the case may be. Do not not assume me for I am not you nor am I yours and so is the opposite way. I am not here to force you to believe i am here to state my own thoughts. But we both have freedom and a conscience. May we act on that for the betterment of humankind.

[@DerekHise]

Quick dip into particle physics: 1. Fermions are the "mass" particles. They include protons, neutrons, elections, neutrinos, etc. 2. A subcategory of fermions are leptons. They are defined by not contributing to interactions with "the strong nuclear force" which binds neutrons and protons. 3. The most famous lepton is the electron which doesn't get bound to the nucleus of atoms. The *muon* is another lepton which behaves very similar to an electron, but is about ~200 times heavier. That extra mass/energy is why it is prone to decaying which just means splitting apart. To elaborate on VSauce's claim: 1. Time dilation and length contraction allow us to get hit by muons despite a muon splits into an electron + two different neutrinos in about ~0.00000022 seconds. 2. The faster you go, the slower you experience time compared to everyone else and the shorter the distances you travel. For example: If a photon could experience it's own trip, it would describe it as never needing to move at all. It would consider the universe to be flat such that its departure and destination points are touching. Any trip would be instantaneous because there is no distance to travel. External observers are the ones who would say it traveled at c, and takes a billion years to travel a billion lightyears. PS: Another ambiguous crossword I encountered said was something like "best scifi TV show" and it could be filled out "star trek" or "star wars".

[@SkunksterPlaysPoorly]

That was a brilliant commercial. 😂

[@tuxedotservo]

The thing I remember most about Bob Dole was the day after the election, he was on one of the late night shows. Throughout the entire campaign, he was kind of rigid, cold, and seemed to lack a personality - but on the show he was relaxed, had a sense of humor about the loss, and was actually quite charming. I came away thinking that if he'd let just let the personality he displayed on that show peek out during the election, he might have made it very interesting.

Indians knew 5000 years ago that earth is round. Indians already had the heliocentric model around 2000 BC. The very name of the word Geography in Sanskrit is "Bhugol" which translates to "Round Earth". Our ancient carvings show earth as a round globe. Indians already calculated circumference of earth, distances of earth from moon and sun more than 2000 years ago. The concept of gravity was given by Indians a thousand years before Newton.

[@helloasa9296]

3:15 True. I was also thinking that flat earther not believe in gravity.

[@hackerx7329]

Oh it gets weirder. They just keep piling it on. Most recently I have seen them claiming that space is fake because it has to be full of air because they don't believe in gravity. They think if you watch a ship from the shore the reason it disappears is because it went behind a water mountain. Apparently all weather is fake and man made and windmills are used to generate wind. Alternatively some argue volcanoes aren't real and are actually pools of slag from large mining facilities while others believe volcanoes are real and they are where air come from and the rocks they blow upwards are what cause meteor showers. But wait, the ones that think volcanoes aren't real instead argue that meteors are all just ball lightning or some other form of plasma. It all just keeps getting weirder and weirder the more they try and explain things away with stuff kids in elementary school could prove wrong with experiments.

[@bcn1gh7h4wk]

I've never actually met a flat earther, but fundies? whew! can smell them coming a whole street block away.

[@TBomb15]

i have to correct one thing. It's not classical and quantum that don't work together. If you try to apply quantum laws to classical objects, then the quantum laws pushed to their limits simplify to classical mechanics. It's quantum and relativity that don't play nice. Quantum assumes that all forces are a product of force carrier particles, but gravity doesn't seem to have a force carrier, since a graviton (the theoretical gravity force carrier) isn't even predicted by the standard model. So classical isn't the thing that doesn't play nice with quantum. marrying relativity to quantum is the theory of everything, not quantum to classical.

[@volbla]

To briefly explain what a muon is, there are two general families of matter particles, *quarks* and *leptons.* Quarks are always glued together in more complex particles called *hadrons.* These include the protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus of atoms. Leptons come in three generations. The "main" particle in each are the *electron,* *muon* and *tauon,* and each of them have an associated neutrino. People often explain muons as a "heavy electron". Tauons are even more massive.

[@BadassRaiden]

One more thing, something Ambre said that i thought was genius. She compared the crossword analogy to the theory of everything, a theory currently under construction that is attempting to coalesce classical Einsteinian mechanics with quantum mechanics. I just had the thought - what if we do already have the theory of everything? What if, like the crossword, we have to different explanations that fit all of the answers we ask, and that one single answer that merges them both doesnt exist? We may not be able to ask every question and get the answers using one or the other explanation, but whatever questions we cannot answer with one, we can with the other. Everything that needs explaining is essentially explained using these two, shall we say, answer keys. Now personally i dont think we will ever have a true "theory of everything" in that its a theory that we use to construct experiments to eventually measure/observe everything in the universe. I believe this of course because of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, that essentially says we cannot know everything. Well what it technically says is that we cannot know the absolute value of anything's momentum and position simultaneously. If we know one absolute, measurement of the other will dissolve into only probability simply by the nature of the universe. But when it comes to what is actually knowable in the universe, maybe we already have the tools to know all that we can know. Like the most famous example of the clash between classical mechanics and quantum mechanics is that we cannot explain what even should happen, let alone what DOES happen, at the center of a black hole. Something so small, typically dictated by the laws of QM, but of an incredible mass, which is usually dictated by classical mechanics. Perhaps what the singularity is, what actually happens at the center, is in reality unknowable and its not that there is something wrong with our understanding or our theory or math. It might just be that no matter how we ask it, we will never get the answer because there isnt one. Personally i think the reason why our theories break down at the center of a black hole, at the singularity and we calculate infinities which is thought to be physically impossible, the reason why we think that the matter that falls into it seems to actually be lost to the universe - is because black holes are so dense, that the singularity is an actual rip, a literal hole in physical spacetime, on which the other side exists what is called the Inflaton field. The thus far theoretical Inflaton field is of course the most fundamental field, more fundamental than the electromagnetic field, the gravitational field, even more fundamental than spacetime, as this field is theorized to actually birth these fundamental fields including spacetime itself.

[@BadassRaiden]

This keeps auto deleting my replies 😑

[@BadassRaiden]

So he definitely believes the earth is flat. He tries to explain away everything like for example that Netflix movie where the flat earthers prove themselves wrong at the end of it. I don't remember what his response is, but he tries to convey that they didn't actually prove themselves wrong, or perhaps it was something about the film actually being edited just to make them look bad. His belief is legit. I've even tried to explain that it is just physically impossible because of gravity and like she said, Vsauce's reasoning was a mischaracterization in the assumption that flat earthers believe in gravity. I've also tried to explain that if the earth was flat, the sun would illuminate the whole thing all at once, and that it would be daytime across the world all at once, or night time across the world all at once. And despite the fact that he can literally face time someone in virtually any country in Europe right now and see with his own eyes that it's night time. He's a dome believe. He doesn't think rockets go to space. He bases this on the fact that he saw a story about some guys building a homemade rocket, and then once it got "too high" aka too close to the dome, it started spinning out and crashed or whatever. You know, nothing to do with the fact that rocket science is actually difficult and not just anyone can build a rocket to go to space. He also hates it on a video of a rat supposedly walking along the outside of a rocket while it's in the vacuum of space. There is only one video I could find that fits that description and it's not a rat it's literally a rotating piece of the rocket moving as the rocket is flying through the vacuum. He believes Antarctica is an ice wall and given the money, he wouldn't even try to cross it because he thinks the government will just kill him, like they do everyone who tries to walk across Antarctica. You know, nevermind the fact that it's actually hypothermia that will kill you if you try to walk all across Antarctica because of how cold it is, and that if you don't layer properly, you will either be too cold, or hot to the point where you sweat, and you freeze because of sweating. The really ironic thing is that he enjoys looking at the stars? Despite the fact that his belief leads him to think the stars are fake. Like if the stars are fake, then being in awe of them is playing into the hand of the government who wants you to look and be amazed. He likes space games, and thinks people who design not just space, but the spherical planets are all just either in on the conspiracy, or have been manipulated. He also believes that the fires in Hawaii were caused by a Chinese energy weapon. He bases this off the pictures that have been circulating, from the one with the three untouched umbrellas, to the untouched house surrounded by rubble. He ignored the fact that there is an equally famous picture from the Paradise, CA fire that happened, of a trailer untouched by the fire, yet surrounded by rubble - and that when that happened NO ONE was calling it conspiracy. He finds it odd that the fire avoided some trees and not others, even though trees are full of water so it's really difficult to make sure it gets hot enough everywhere to burn all the trees. He's confused that it was hot enough to melt the aluminum of some cars, but didn't melt the asphalt which has a lower melting temperature. Cuz you know, it's actually hard for asphalt to CATCH on fire, thus enabling it to get hot enough to the point of melting. Nevermind the fact that the wind just blows the fire over the top of the asphalt, not allowing it to get hot enough to melt. He also ignores all the video evidence from the AU fires that we absolutely devastating the last couple years, where people are driving down an unmelted street, with fires on BOTH SIDES - oh my gosh how could that have happened unless the fire was set on both sides intentionally, along with the fact that no one cried conspiracy when those videos were posted. The brains of conspiracy theories are quite literally mush. They suffer from a legitimate medical delusion of the mind, and more medical professionals need to voice into the public sphere that these people suffer from an actual medical condition. The DSM defines a delusion as "a fixed, unshakeable belief, that remains rigid in spite of all evidence to the contrary."

Flat earthers don't believe in gravity; however, they worship density and buoyancy. Little do they know, the formula for buoyancy is density times volume times GRAVITY. 😏

Vsauce...wow I used to bing watch this videos

5:50 I never understood how he knew what one shadow was doing at the same time as the other one. It's not like they had a phone where he could talk to someone in real time at the other pole.

[@vishalvenkat6]

He probably had disciples or students who were helping him out whom he trusted to make the observations and take records.

[@hackerx7329]

If you had nobody else to help take measurements at another location on the same day and you were dedicated enough you could simply wait exactly one year and repeat the measurements at the new location.

I think he had already verified (or it was already established) that a deep well in Syene would have no shadows at the bottom at noon a certain time of the year. That means he just had to make his measurement in Alexandria at noon at the same time of the year. They must have had some kind of calendar by then, so he just had to match the date. The way you know it's noon is when the shadow is the shortest, so you can just take lots of measurements around midday and choose the smallest one.

As a Greek, both pronounciations of Eratosthenes are miles off

Its a wider issue of distrust by ppl in govt and Nasa, overspend, safety. Not just the cgi, green screens, swimming pools. The lack of trust iss a big concern.

[@thetechnocrat4979]

That is a good point. Some of the Flat Earthers are probably people who have become so paranoid with mistrust of the government, that it has sent them over the edge! (Pardon that). The governments have themselves to blame for this. They and big corporations are almost always involved in some shady behaviour to gain more power.

Your pronounce of Eratosthenes would be more accurate than Vsauce. Becose Eratosthenes manage to be born before invention of language that letter "E" says like letter "I". Which is english.

Just playing devil's advocate here but the very first example presented in this video regarding that sideways gravity only works in a specific type of scenario. The flat plane of Earth would have to be thicker in the middle and thinner on the edges for his example to work the way he describes it. If the flat Earth model was thicker on the edges and thinner towards the middle then gravity would appear normal. (Plus some flat earthers claim that gravity doesn't work the way we think it does, that instead it's about buoyancy.) I'm not a flat earth of myself, but I do feel that if you're going to debunk somebody then you should debunk the arguments that they use to justify their positions. Flat earthers have explanations for this gravity scenario that no one ever seems to address.

Actually flat earth isn’t archaic at all, few if any back in the olden days thought this. Its annoyingly more recent than youd think
