Fun fact, easy to visually estimate that the circle drawn at 4:18 is about three times the size it would need to be to be accurate. Just visually, it's easy to estimate that you would fit about six of those circles to cover the entire 50%-ish of the earth that you can see from this view - this is easier if you mentally divide the earth into three broad horizontal bands (making a thinner one at the equator to account for how much more area it has). If you mentally look at the area of each, each of the bands - two fat ones at the latitudes, and one thin one at the equator - would be each easily covered by the area of two of those circles. So a total of about six circles to cover the 50% of the earth we see, thus about 12 for the total. He had just said that they could only see about 3% of the earth from the station, which is about 33 "circles" to cover the whole earth (100/3). So since 12 is about 1/3 of 33, the circle he drew here is about three times too large. Not even really nitpicking, just playing along with the theme of the video and recognizing how hard it is to represent things accurately, which makes me feel a little compassion for all the lies we were endlessly presented with in school.

This easily outlines a vastly superior form of education and informative content, in which the goal is to explore random questions that arise from the natural curiosity among students. The teacher says something. Students ask questions. The teacher picks a question. The teacher guides the students in research. Students ask new questions throughout this whole process. Repeat. At the end of the week (or semester), the students write a simple summary on (or create a project summarizing) everything they explored.

Love the ton of fun facts that come with Vsauce videos. Actually, having two eyes, you can see more than 50 percent of the surface of a ball that is smaller than the distance of your eyes (like a table tennis ball). In fact you can see most of it when you go a close as you can. If you don't mind your eyes being crossed and painfully out of focus :D

[@iGrindBudz]

I’ve done a lot of travelling in my life. You’re not living on a ball. Wether you like it or not, you’re just not. 70% of earths surface is covered in level/flat water. It’s the natural physics of water that it seeks level, takes the shape of its container. If water looks like it’s bending then go learn what perspective is, you aren’t living on a magical space ship flying through infinite space. Go outside and see for yourself. You’re being lied to, it’s as simple as that. You’re not just being lied to you’re being laughed at... A magical spinning ball covered in water flying through infinite space space hahahahahahahaha fuck me no wonder they have to tell you that lie when you are at an age you can’t even ask a question. At such a gullible age you believe in Santa Claus ETC Hahaha bloody spinning flying space ship 😂😂 ignorant idiots won’t go out and see for them selfs. Question everything. This world isn’t what you think it is.

[@Explivious]

@@iGrindBudz im guessing you dont believe gravity exists either?...

[@elhomo6406]

@@iGrindBudz Now what exactly do you define as level? Gravity acts uniformly towards the center of the earth, thus water on the surface of the earth remains "level" despite being curved (water doesn't magically know what level is, level is just perpendicular to the earths surface). Also the "8 inches per mile" in your name tells me you're piss poor at circle geometry. 8 inches per mile ONLY applies if your viewpoint is at 0 meters high, perfectly tangential to the earths surface. Assuming you are roughly 6 feet tall, you would observe virtually no curvature until an object was roughly 5km away (because you know, that's how fucking tangents work). Now that I've disproved the two pieces of "evidence" you have, how do you explain the Coriolis effect on a flat earth model? how about modern navigation including the latitude and longitude system? what about star systems? what about the parallel shadows caused by our sun (not possible with a smaller localized light source)? What about the gradient of air pressure as you increase altitude (not even remotely possible without gravity, or with the "firmament" many flerfers claim exists)? How about the fact that EVERY OTHER OBSERVABLE CELESTIAL BODY is round and demonstrates effects of gravity and an orbit? It's not really a good idea trying to claim the earth is flat on a science channel, try sticking to facebook.

[@johns1625]

You can see more than 50% of the surface of a neutron star. Gravity bends light enough to let you see both poles at the same time.

[@Ravaxr]

If you look at a black hole you're seeing its entire event horizon, as well as multiple rings of the accretion disk around it as the light orbits multiple times. I've seen a shader in VR that replicates this effect. It is bizarre, but very cool to see.
