Alfie, you should also interview a scientist who can explain the other side, "what proves that the earth is a sphere!" That would be interesting!
Why doesn't he take a boat and sail around the world? If he gets back to the same place after going in only one direction, he'll find out that the Earth is round.
I love this sort of video. My questions- If it is flat- why is the moon in phases, why is the time/sun location different in different places and why is the Antarctic drastically different temperatures than at the equator?
I'm so beyond proud of you for making this change to the channel! also, LOVING every minute of the new videos and ideas. keep it coming mate xx
I’m not a dedicated viewer of your channel, however this video really attracted my interest when I saw it in my recommended and I must say I was very much pleasantly surprised with this video and I really loved this style of video and documentation. I am very excited for the next part of this and I’m glad you’re stepping out of your comfort zone. What a great watch!
Meeting & Interviewing A Flat-Earther!
I love you sooo much alfie and I hope that you read my comment ❤️
Alfie, probably your best video by far. Really loved it! Love your new videos and your different approach on different areas. Loving the Secret's out series as well!!
What about day and night and different seasons? How come it's day here when it's night in other places of the Earth if it's flat? And same with seasons. Also what about gravity-acceleration being different at the equator compared to the acceleration at the poles? And the coriolis effect?
Alexandra illusions 🤪
But if the Earth was flat how would day and night work. How could it be night in one part of the world and day another part of the world. Because if the end was flat the sun would be able to shine on the whole Earth at once
This interview was incredibly interesting. I absolutely loved this video Alfie! Keep making great content!
You should make a follow up interviewing an astrophysicist or astronaut
I love how Alfie is so opened minded about things. He’s so understanding and treats everyone he meets with so much respect. We need more people like Alfie in this world (flat or round).
I just want to know how can I be in the middle of the day in Australia but my cousin can be in the middle of the night on the other side of the world at the same time of the earth is flat??? I’ve had this question sense I’ve heard of the the flat earth and no one can even put a theory to my question
If the Earth was flat, why don’t travel to a country that is placed right at the end? If it was flat, you should see the end and maybe look down and the discussion would end?
Explain seasons, moon cycle and plane route. How does someone goes from Canada to Australia. They don't go over Europe...
As a physics major, this hurts my soul lol. Still interesting to listen to his perspective, but it's a shame that so many people actually follow this line of thinking.
Don’t understand how you could talk this long to this man and not get angry. So many questions for him lol. Face palming through the whole video
Part 2 ...alfie goes to space hahahah
Pretty sure if I walked around the earth in one direction for the wrest of my life I wouldn’t fall off and I’d keep returning to where I started so it’s deffo round in my opinion!
But you couldnt because you would need a permit to explire the north pole
Flat earthers believe the Earth is surrounded by an ice wall 'Antarctica'
I’m not saying that is right, but people who think that the earth is flat also believe in the Pac-Man theory, which says that if you walk till the end of the flat earth you are actually “”teleported”” to the opposite end, as in the Pac-Man videogame
(I’m sorry if I said something wrong but English is not my main language)
I totally agree, but take your swimming costume, I don't think we've mastered walking on water yet.
I don't say I don't agree, I'm just starting to think about the boats and airplanes that has gone missing... I don't know, it's interesting!
The Quran does not say the earth is flat. In fact it says that the Earth, Sun and Moon float their own Orbit
Suggestion for NASA: take all flat-earthers to the moon
i wish you had asked about the seasons, because if the earth is flat, surely the world would all have the same temp all year round and the earth would never get cold or really hot-the temp would never change. butttt Australia is hot in December when it is cold in London for example. i want now what he would have said. loved this video
13:30 is when he gets to the guys house
31:23 this dude doesn't understand that upside down doesn't physically exist. it is a human experience, not a reality.
Maybe you should speak with someone who believes the earth is round like visit a uni or something and approach it in the same way as you have here with and open mind not trying to prove or disprove anything that way you (and your viewers) could have both perspectives and “facts” about both point of views and be able to make a more educated decision about what they decide to believe. I only say this because I feel like if someone doesn’t know a lot about either point of view it is easier for them to be swayed one way or another so if you got equal information from each perspective it would be very beneficial for a lot of people.
My question is, if the earth is flat. Does that mean all the other planets are flat
Whilst I find it hard not to judge his ideology, I can't believe him.
His need to simply validate and shock value disproves his genuine thoughts. A couple of things he can't disprove;
Hemispheres
The poles (N/S)
The tidal pull of the moon
Magnetic fields
The earth's core
Also, life's short, just be happy.
I appreciate that you broke from your usual style of video and interviewed this guy, however there is just so much misinformation in this video that from the perspective of an astrophysics student its almost painful to watch
content has really turned around and I'm really liking his conspiratory theories and personally, I love them and getting in the mindset of someone thinking like this.I'm only 14 but think topics like this is really interesting and I'm really liking the documentary side of this videos, Keep doing more!
if the Earth isn't a globe, how are you so certain its flat and not any other shape?
I love that Alfie switched up the content and I love the questions he asked. I really enjoyed watching this. However, the interviewee has a lot of misconceptions regarding Earth. Obviously nothing will prove it to him that the Earth isn't flat, but regarding the whole not feeling the spinning thing, we literally learned about it in physics when we were learning about gravity and all that. Also, to those saying that flat earth should be taught at school so people can draw their own conclusions... Scientist have been researching for ages and have proven time and time again that the Earth is round, so I personally don't see nor believe that false ideas like that should be taught. Before you get lost in (believing) all the conspiracy theories, do your research on history, science and all that.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion which is why I don't want to judge his beliefs, but I am unable to believe this conspiracy because if the Earth is flat why are there seasons? why are there time zones? night and day? if Flat earthers can scientifically explain to me how they work then I could possibly believe it.. But I love these kind of videos regardless.. love hearing other people's thoughts
Actually planes curve on their paths because it’s quicker than going in a straight line... because the Earth is round :)
How does the sun rise and set in different countries at different times if the earth is flat? That’s the question i need an answer too
Right so if the earth is flat why has no one ever seen the end of it
i love that you are back on this channel. LOVING ALL THE NEW VIDEOS SO SO SO MUCH !!!!
I had to turn this off when he says the moon is a light 🤦🏼♀️ explain the phases bro, you can literally see the craters from here as well. I can not.
Still love Alfie though lol 💪🏼 ❤️ don’t get me wrong
Keep doing these!!!!
Well if this dude is so interested in believing what he has observed, but not believing blindly in science, he has the possibility to observe the reality of all scientific conjectures through experiences. Science isn't blindly believed in, it is something Men have created from scratch to take count of what they observe. I find it even disrespectful to put your own observation over what our whole civilization has fought to build, it even is the biggest form of egocentricity that can exist.
Alfie, about the point you make about his partner or family: Actually my husband believes the Earth is flat, disbelieves everything NASA says, and is afraid to say so to anyone because they will openly mock him. I am not convinced at all, haven't felt it's important enough to research sooooo thoroughly myself. I really appreciate the way you approach this convo with respect! Haven't watched through yet...
Wait... Then why is there day and night?? if the world isn't spinning??
I really enjoy the idea of these recent videos. Really makes you think. Thanks for sharing.
There a thousands of flat earthers all around the globe.
LOGAN PAUL, WHO?
Definitely the most interesting video you’ve done in a long long time! This was such a good watch and I’d love to see you make more videos like this in the future
Auguste Piccard didn't disappear. After many balloon flights, he switched his attention to deep sea descension. He invented the bathyscaphe.
Agreed and according to the Encylcopedia, he stopped the balloon flights due to a lack of funding. This is when he discovered his dream to "plunge into the sea deeper than any man has gone before".
We now say earth is not flat, but unilt 12th-13th century everyone was thinking it was, and one guy came and said 'oh no no it is not flat'
I love this style of video Alfie! I feel like I have learned so much about this topic. I still believe that the Earth is round but I really love learning the reasons on both sides of the topic.
flat earther: "h-"
me: weird flex but ok
You have great patience, I could not have stayed at this interview myself. Lol.
Please make more Vidios like this I loved it I was looking for part 2 I watched all... my first early memories of my childhood I thought it was flat too I was around 4 or 5 I used to believe I would fall of the edge one day
Changing the type of content you do here was a really great decision. I enjoy the 'new' content and this was particularly interesting. Even though we'd all think 'believing this is crazy', you treated the topic and that guy with utter respect and you kind of opened my eyes as I would have always thought you cannot discuss with people who believe this but he seemed very much like a person you can talk to and discuss different views of the world.
Although I personally do not believe in this theory, when reading into this topic, I often think of when people used to think that the Earth was the centre of the universe. These flat-Earthers who are deemed 'crazy' by the general public resemble those like Galileo and Copernicus, who questioned, 'what if the Earth WASN'T the centre of everything', and were right. People were thrown in jail for believing something against the common beliefs of everyone else, but it was later proven that they were right. On the other hand, Galileo and Copernicus were skilled and experienced astronomers and mathematicians who based their beliefs upon real observations of the universe made by them. As a young person who is fascinated by space and the expanse of the universe, I've just decided to stick to my beliefs that the Earth is round and everything else that is the norm, however, I will not 100% rule out this theory. If people one day came out with 100% solid proof, I would be intrigued and exited about this new discovery and I have learned to stay open-minded and not build any beliefs that are too concrete that they stop me from learning new things. This was a really interesting perspective but I still believe that the Earth is round because of all the science behind gravity, seasons and other phenomena that the Earth experiences which is explained by the spherical shape of the planet.
If the earth is flat why can't we see the end of it? Why can I fly in a plane in a straight line and make it all the way across the world?
Jazzy maybe there isn’t an end to it at all 😯
Jazzy they (the government) won’t let you
Jazzy because it is a donut
I loved this video so much because I am exactly like Martin and question everything to the point where I feel like I am going to make myself crazy- I have multiple mental breakdowns a day to the point of tears because there are just no definite answers for all the questions I have. I cried at least 4 times whilst watching this because I have so many of the same questions and I now have even more. Can not wait to see what other questions i'll have after the next video x
I love the mile higher podcast! Great shoutout there ☺️
They each have their own UA-cam channels which are both wonderful!
what about ships moving in a straight line towards the horizon? they fall below the curve of the earth as they go. You'd be able to see them pretty much forever if the earth was flat
ALFIE DEYES, YOU'VE LEFT ME SO CURIOUS. This video was so, so interesting to watch. I'm so happy for you that your contest is your maturing along with this channel. I've never actually thought about this topic, I don't think most people do. I feel we automatically shrug it off because Earth being round is what we've always known. Though, that's still what I believe, I loved that this person answered with such clarity and this was a proper and honest discussion between two people who believe in two different things. If only every debate and discussion was as open as this. People need to realise that what they might believe is not everyone else's belief. It's unfair to put someone down simply because you believe in something different. Loved the video!
Listen Alfie, as an older (compared to your normal audience, 26) viewer, I love the direction your channel is taking. Whether or not people agree with this is irrelevant. I haven’t really been clicking on your videos for the past couple years but I’ve clicked on quite a few recently. So keep doing what you’re doing. This stuff is actually thought-provoking. Not about shock value.
You don't feel the motion of the speening just like you don't feel how fast the plane is moving when it goes straight. It doesn't mean it is not happening if you don't feel it.
Can someone tell me what Podcasts him and Zoe listen to because I can't find one that's interesting.
Really loving this new direction of your channel! Such interesting content and you can see how much work you’ve put into it! Keep it up!
Questions: what happens to night and day? The equator? Gravity?
Omg I love your comeback to your channel, these types of talks and the Secrets Out I love it😝👏🏻💙
Its bordering on convincing until you remember that the sun, the moon, all the other planets etc are not flat, and that's something you can see through a telescope, so by process of elimination you can pretty much rule out a flat earth
This was brilliant Alfie. Such an eye opening video. Can't wait for part 2!
Alfie i looooooooove these videos. Keep making them about this kind of stuff please .
Had a conversation with a group of people who also believed the earth was flat and came to Hull and discussed with me and my mates as well.
says that you shouldn't believe 24 people... but believe one scientist instead
Hi Alfie,I found this really interesting and think you should make more videos like this not just about flat earth other conspiracy theories as well 👍
i want to see this guy talking to Neil Degrasse Tyson
I am loviiing your new content, I don't really like vlogs so I never used to watch yours but this is so different from what you used to make but it is so well made and I am so excited for every single video aha
Martin is so fascinating, I would love to hear more about his views on veganism! He talks so clearly and passionately about what he believes in.
Whattabout GRAVITY
Your video ideas are actually amazing and you seem like such a nice person💕💕💕
So here for this content! Also love it not just the podcast, variety is always a win
I love that you watch mile higher. Kendal Rae (from mile higher podcast) has an amazing channel :)
Absolutely loving your new style of content on this channel!
I don't usually do comments, but I have to say that this is your most interesting video. Wow... It was interesting to hear a different point of view about the Earth. And I liked how you asked your questions too, I can't wait to see the second episode.
Love how 90% of the comments are people bashing this guy for believing in something different from their own beliefs. “Pretty sure the earth is round” key words being “pretty sure” aka you don’t KNOW for sure. People can believe what they want to believe. Someone believing the earth is flat has literally no affect on you so stop calling someone you don’t even know dumb or stupid or crazy. Try having an open mind. If you believe everything you’re told is always 100% fact then that’s..... sad. 🤷🏼♀️ I don’t believe it’s flat but others do and that’s okay. No need to be so rude or mean.
shane dawson?
jokes, great vid as usual alfie, you've been killing it lately
This is actually so so interesting. I thought I wouldn’t like this type of thing but this is crazy. I love this video.
I literally went to Antarctica at the beginning of this year, it's too dangerous to go into the middle of the Antarctic continent because it's perminantly frozen over and the winds are too strong for a human to withstand. People have travelled through the continent in the past. It's not unexplored.. I also flew over it in a plane...and saw no edge. Sooo....
And yes amazing video.. this is super interesting/intriguing.
Loved this so much! Lovely to hear someone else's view on such an interesting topic!
This is so entertaining... I love these more intellectual/informative styled videos!
I fullied enjoy this ! Loving the longer content :)
what is he onnnn about? people are constantly outside the earths orbit, people are on the International Space Station right now
Alice O'Malley that’s what were made to believe....
Alice O'Malley can you prove it?
Soph x i literally saw the ISS go past a couple nights ago... look up chris Hadfields vlogs.
Love this switch up! Awesome content Alfie!
I love that you enjoy The Mile Higher because that's my favorite podcast. I got excited when you first said you listened to it.
Back at it again with the more in depth, captivating content - Keep it coming !!
Wow! Interesting. Talking about the edge and the ice keeping us in and not letting us go beyond made me remember the divergent series
interview starts at 13:30
xoxo
Cheers 🍻
Alfie what a brilliant idea this was! Thank you for this well spent hour full of different perspectives!
Big hug from Portugal!
Yay Milehigher! Kendall and Josh are amazing. Love you doing this.
This stuff freaks me out 😂 I find myself questioning everything after watching stuff like this! Maybe ignorance is bliss 😂
Love these tye of videos and different content, its so refreshing to see something different from popular youtubers! (although i love the other content too) anyone
reading this have a good day & smile
I seriously don’t get how sane people think the earth is flat.. I mean don’t come at me but don’t you think it would be pointless to spend millions on a pointless hoax.. I don’t know man
Not-so-buzzy Bee ikr theres literally no reason to lie about it, also how come no one has even SEEN the edge yet if the earth was flat 😂
Not-so-buzzy Bee I mean I didn’t then when you look into it you understand why people do. They way I see it who gives a fuck if it’s spherical or flat
Alfie I am soo in love and excited about your new content on this channel!! I love that you have changed things up...rather than what you were " expected to do" from others and is doing things you are interested in...I have been following you since 2013 and i remember you used to do sit down chat videos in your vlog channel then besides vlogs and from those i was soo inspired to pursue what i love and passionate about!!
But anyways really stocked about your new content cant wait for more!!
I am really glad that you are doing this. The flat earth conspiracy has been something that has always interested me and has challenged my opinion of the government. Yes, with knowledge comes great power, but is that knowledge going to harm or benefit me as an individual?
Kendall and josh!! (Mile higher) they are amazing i love them ive followed them for like 3 years
