@๖Donnie๖ ๖Campbell๖ And here we are a month later...and the Earth is still Flat as ever. A month goes by...more NASA studio outtakes filmed and busted...more Liars exposed for not knowing any real science or physics...and the Earth remains flat thru all of this bullshit...just like yo bullshit. This time next year though...you'll be one of the people saying "I was telling them it was Flat..that's what I was really trying to say..they just needed to research, that's why I said those things...but I know it's Flat."
David Banner F.E.S.: I have a further update for you. Highly likely there is no god or gods, nothing supernatural, no ghosts, no afterlife. Reject reality and you reject the only life you'll ever have. Reality is, the Earth is a sphere. And it's not hollow. It's full of magma and iron.
Yes, and we've also seen simple proof to conduct the earth is round. If you are stubborn enough to not take Bill's examples, take mine. It's a fairly simple one. Test it; Go to a beach and pay attention to a boat moving further away. You will see that the boat slowly disappears from bottom up. Why's that? Why do you think that is my friend? Well, you see, the curvature. THE CURVATURE. I don't know how many more times I can explain this simple test before my mind explodes. Still not convinced? Alright! No problem! Go on a cruise, and go out on the deck at night time, like I did where it was very peaceful, and see how the land slowly RISES. It's not just automatically there, nor do is enlarge in size. If you can't get on a cruise, boat, etc, then watch a damn video of someone on a cruise.
When i was a child the analogy/metaphor "People used to think the Earth was flat" was used to highlight how far we've come. Now this believe is back and thriving. Now it's like a fucking metaphor for how far backwards we've gone...
Uncorkedscotty No, it isn’t ‘back’. There are always idiots, the deluded, and people who seem to want to be scammed for some reason. The internet has let this tiny minority form their own society of imbeciles. Similarly, there are far fewer racists now than at any time in the past, however they can organise more effectively and show up in fairly large numbers.
I think we all know, that these people are wrong... They don't even know about the four elephants underneath, riding on the cosmic turtle as it swims towards the star and our ultimate armogedon
I have a personal story about this. I used to work for a high frequency trading firm, that firm would do anything to earn more money and one of the things they did was to not use cable internet for their trades, instead they had microwave towers sending the signals through the air, it was simply faster. However this was only possible between exchanges that were relatively close to each other, it was not possible to send the microwaves over the Atlantic for example. Why? Because of the curvature of the earth, as those microwaves only travel in a straight line. So if you wanted to trade between the New York exchange and the London exchange for example, you had to use a cable. Trust me, if the world were flat, a greedy trading company like that would 100% use it to their advantage but it isn't.
well if you would just jump properly for once (cancelling your rotational velocity) you wouldn't land in the same spot, and would probably make a large red smear after hitting the ground at such a difference in speed
Because you jump and land on the same spot because the earth didn't stay still under you. Neither does the atmosphere. You moved in the air and the earth moved at the same speed of the air. then you land in the exact same spot because the atmosphere moves with the earth.
Khameron, it's like walking forward while bouncing a ball in Basketball or Netball, it stays with you while you are moving forward, when it is in mid-air. You don't bounce the ball *forward* in those sorts of games while dribbling because the forward momentum of you walking/running is enough to keep the ball moving forward at the same speed, despite the fact the ball is in contact with your hand for less time than it is in the air. If you scale that up to the size and speed of the earth, the ball being a person and the hand being the earth, it is perfectly understandable. And in the case of the ball, it touches the ground and it still maintains the same speed as you, making your argument even more invalid. Another great demonstration would be with bouncing a tennis ball on a tennis racket while moving. As long as you keep a constant speed, the ball will stay with you, provided you don't launch it into orbit. The tennis racket doesn't even need gravity or an atmosphere, and it still manages to prove this. Have a good day.
His face "just asks it" ON PURPOSE. It's INTENTIONAL to make this seem like it's understood and doesn't deserve more attention. That's LITERALLY how they fool you all. RIGHT THERE. PERIOD.
dan 1 look at pictures from space. Lmao dude they are cgi. We have a 3 mile range of visibility how does he claim we are suppose to see further. That shadow on the moon is bullshit. Spend some time looking in the sky. And one day you. Will notice the moon next to the sun so whats casting the shadow if that shadow is only possible if the moon and sun are on opposite ends.
Dr Rojosabroso The shadow on the moon are lunar eclipses. But now that you bring up moon being next to the sun, notice that only the side towards the sun is lit. And notice that the closer it is to the sun, the less lit it is. Do you want to know why this is? Because the moon is between us and the sun. To demonstrate this, go to a dark room, take a tennis ball and stand opposite to a lit lamp with it. Move the ball between you and the lamp from left to right, and watch as the light moves across its surface. Does it remind you of something?
The cosmic Latté exactly cuz if it was a cube gravity would've stronger in the corners and that wouldn't be possible cuz gravity would've morphed eventually into a sphere
+2consider Sadly, there really are people who apparently believe the Earth is flat. It is the latest bat-shit-crazy conspiracy theory that is popular at present.
Mr. Micheal I suggest you do a simple experiment. Go to any tall building from where you can see sunset. Have a friend stand on the top of the tower and you stand on the bottom. Call your friend on the phone and tell him exactly when you see the sun set. You will see that the sun sets over 5-6 minutes later for your friend depending on the hieght of the building. Think about how that happens. Cheers!!!

@@richardblack9067 So, I've been fooled into believing that the earth is spherical!? Let me just say this, future generations will be laughing at us, thanks to imbeciles like you who believe otherwise. Yes, that's exactly right, it is faaar easier to fool someone than to convince them that they've been fooled.. Keep repeating it, because it is very relevant to you.
@@richardblack9067 the funny thing is, that quote works beyond perfectly for you. You've been "fooled" by a bunch of con-men. Your so stupid that they don't even need to try to fool you anymore.
HarryIII We REALLY are, aren't we? Flatards are beyond weird, and the thing that terrifies me is that some of them aren't stupid, they're just gullible. And even worse, some of them just like the attention 😨
Good Fella The trouble is that none of it makes any sense! I honestly wonder about the sanity of the "true believers", as I can describe 3 experiments that can be done by anybody, and should convince anybody that we live on an oblate spheriod, but most flat earthers refuse to even try them, or claim that they have performed the same experiments, and have found that they prove flat earth! Which is completely impossible, because I've done 2 of these experiments myself, and have seen proof of curvature with my own eyes. (I didn't do these things because I've ever believed in flat earth, but because I like to prove things for myself)
Here's the easiest way to prove to someone's own eyes that the world is spherical: On a clear day go visit the Indiana dunes, they're on the south east coast of Lake Michigan. Take some binoculars or a telescope with you. Look West across the lake at Chicago. You can see the skyscrapers, but only from about the tenth floor upwards. Meaning that you cannot see below the tenth floor of the skyscrapers because the water of Lake Michigan is in the way. Then try to figure out the rest all by your lonesome.
So your saying that you can see the city from more than 60 miles away on a globe earth? How is this possible, since a city that distant should be without question below the curvature by at least 2000 ft. If you claim optical illusion due to cold air on the lake and warmer air above it, b ending light around curvature, I call bs. If that were the real cause, we would always see the city, since hot air always raises and cold air always settles...so warmer air is always higher than colder air...period.
I didn't say anything about hot or cold air or refraction indexes. BTW the Indiana Dunes State Park is exactly 32 miles as the crow flies from the Chicago Skyline. Yes you can see the buildings on a clear day, but only floors higher up the taller buildings. Go check it out for yourself, see if your eyes deceive you.
Dear Richard , there is test that 100% PROVE ( and im not lying when I say 100% ) that because of the Atmosphere , and air obstructions you can not see the WHOLE buildings.
So you're saying that the air curves the light from the buildings so that it appears to be below the horizon? What physics books are you reading or misinterpreting? Answer me one question, what's in this crazy belief for you? I mean what do you get out of telling people that the world is flat? This must be a hard road to plough. BTW just to advise first hand, I have flown to the edge of space myself (Over 60,000 feet) and have seen the curve of the Earth with my own two eyes. Unless you have some reason to believe that I am suffering from hallucinations?? I have another experiment for you to try out. Get a friend you trust to stay near to your home, then you fly to the other side of the world (Maybe Australia??) The call them on the phone at a set time and ask them if it's day or night, morning or evening...You might be surprised by the result that your friend is diurnal when you are nocturnal. I presume you have an answer for that one too.
Richard Godwin Dont bother, if you give flattards any peice of evidence that breaks their theory they just add those pgysics to the list of non-existing government created physics and make up some half-ass excuse to keep a tiny flame in their extremely dumb and ancient theory.
When Jupiter is closest to Earth, it's about 365 million miles away. You can't see Mount Everest from Bangladesh and it's only 140 miles away. With a flat earth, you would expect to see Mount Everest, at least with a telescope.
as glass is transparent and reflective simultaneously air has those qualities as well - however with no obstructions - (evaporation, condensation, wind, clouds, hills, plants ) and very cold air present . . . . . . . you should see it with your telescope
You are actually right. You can theoretically see it within a 211 mile radius, with no obstructions. So my point is: You should be able to see it from anywhere on Earth, if it was actually flat. And that is clearly not the case :-)
And that is clearly not the case :-) the key word is "clear" if it were clear with no obstructions - (evaporation, condensation, wind, clouds, haze, particles, temperature, hills, mountains, plants ) and very cold air present . . . . . . . you should see it with your telescope - if earth were a flat plane
SIMON , the thing is there IS INDEED obstructions , quite few of them acttualy. But this guy doesnt wanna say he believes in something different because you would not take him seriously....There is and obvious answer for not-round earth lol!
oui manbou where do the obstructions go when we observe Jupiter? Do you believe that when you look up towards the sky the obstructions (evaporation, etc )magically disappear?
There are so many easy evidence for that. As follows. 1. If you place a gyroscope (ability to maintain direction in space regardless of the movement) on the earth surface it will experience tilt and drift, if the earth is as the flat earthier say, then it would not have any tilt at all & drift (subject to whether the flat earth rotates around its own point or axis), if rotate then will have drift, if not then no drift. 2. Another strong point is corriolocis force. The wind from the equator have to have reduced radius( distance from rotational axis) as it goes up in both the hemisphere, thereby to maintain constant angular momentum it’s speed has to increase thus overshoot the earth surface speed, vice versa and tends to deflect right in north hemisphere and left in south hemisphere. (Direction of wind, from where it’s coming). For the same reason, TRS( Cyclone/typhoon) rotates in opposite direction in NH & SH. 3. If you sail along the earth surface and tries to keep Constant course you will be sailing in Mercator projection which is curved route and longer distance and if you want to sail in straight point to point (reduced distance) then have to follow great circle sailing meaning changing course all the time, if the earth would be flat, then this phenomena does not need to come in the first place. 4. If the earth is flat then how do you explain ocean current and wind pattern? 5. If the earth is flat the most of the shipping route from extreme west to extreme east would be so much longer than it is today.
best method of proof would be to watch the sunset in dubai, then go to the top of the Burj Khalifa and watch the sunset again.. if we lived in the flat earth model, one would have to move laterally to see the sunset again, but since we live on a sphere, you need to move vertically to see it again..
KremitDeFrog That is NOT true....You have thirly explained how sun is working on a flat earth. Because sun in reality is WAAY closer and way smaller than you think. Thanks for your time. Go ahead and call me whatever. If you search it , it will just come to your common sense. You have whole explanation of sun NOT on Sphere Earth , to say the least. Doesnt have to be FLAT. But most definetly not helio-centric and definetly no solar system there.
They would say that they were knocked out and brought into a dark room with a green screen or some CGI bs. You can prove anything to them. They refuse to believe
Jackie Treehorn the Earth was never a ball to begin with lmfaooo. I don't really see a point with arguing with the Earth's shape in my perspective at least, even if the whole "Flat Earth" shit was true it wouldn't matter anyway cuz we'd all be carrying on our daily lives as if nothing ever happened
I like how Bill uses basic concepts that even a child could understand and comprehend. You don't need much math or geometry to explain it, but when people try, those concepts go over the heads of flat-tards and they quickly tune out. Bill is a patient man.
Yes, The ideas presented here are real world situations that even a child can replicate. But there's still a lot of math out there if someone demands more. But those maths aren't entirely necessary for proving the earth isn't flat. Sometimes simplicity can be much more compelling. For instance, if the earth is flat, why can't I see the Appalachian Mountains from the Rocky Mountains by using a high end telescope? Why can't a person atop the Eiffel Tower see the Roman Coliseum? Why can't I use a telescope to constantly watch a boat leave New York and arrive in Europe?
Dave Marx Dude you do need the math,evidence and proof to prove it is a sphere.Which the math is theorized,proof is faked with photoshop and CGI and the evidence is non existent. All the while multiple miles have been scientifically observed ,measured and proven to be flat where there should be hundreds of feet of curvature.The boat over the horizon has been debunked. Also if you do not understand the vanishing point of perspective and the nature of our atmosphere then your question about seeing the mountains kinda makes sense for one that is ignorant.But if you understand perspective(taught in art) then you will know even with magnification we do not have infinite vision.Also the atmospheres humidity,dust and other variables blur everything at a point.Which brings me to the point of light.Light does not have an infinite shine through darkness.This is common sense.You really think those stars and "planets " are trillions or millions light years away?Also you really think a non vacuum entity is capable of withstanding being surrounded by a infinite vacuum ?Which vacuums have to be contained to function by the way.
This was excruciating to watch...not one proof the earth is a globe...just descriptions about some Greek, or some thing about not being able to watch Spain from St. Louis....what? He made no sense what so ever....
None of this would be worth a bean to flatheads. They prefer simple observations made by others and reduced to catchy phrases. Telling these people to learn how to navigate presumes they actually want to challenge their condition.
How do you think the Jesuits reached places like South America, or Japan??? Someone on their boat knew the world was a ball and used an astrolabe or a sextant. Look into the Jesuits navigating to Japan or south America. Then work out how they managed that without the world being a ball.
T Rex you seriously believe the bs this man just spewed. Hahaha he said that the paperwork is too much and would cost too much to fake the NASA pictures yet he later said the earth isn’t perfectly spherical but rather oblate. Go look at the NASA pictures for yourself but to me that looks like a perfect sphere! Stop buying into this and open your eyes that they have been lying to you!!!
Ultimate Warrior X2 - I disagree with T-Rex's statement for a different reason. Even if you show the Flatties observations by others, they will only believe what fits their predetermined beliefs.
Arguments by flatards: but it doesn't feel like is a sphere... But I can't see gravity so it means that it doesn't exist... All pictures are CGI even before that technology exists... I can't feel rotating so that means it doesn't do that...
carolina cuchacovich Yeah just like, ' I am told earth is a sphere spinning at 1,000 miles per hour while maintaining calms skies and an atmosphere that magically defeats an infinite vacuum force. While the earth rotates around the sun at 66,600 miles per hour while the sun soars through the galaxy at hundreds of thousands miles per hour,while the galaxy spins at millions miles per hour through the universe that is also moving.' Yet 'space there is no "gravity". ' Yet "planets" 'orbit the sun' .And the star system we experience magically stays the same with the same cycles while all of this dispersing movement is happening from a random explosion out of nothing. What keeps the vacuum separated from earth and where is the curve?
carolina cuchacovich By the way a real truth seeker doesn't subscribe to a "dome" if the know earth is flat.We are not allowed to privately explore Antarctica for a reason
not really. it's just, there are better things that bill nye should explain than "flat earth debunking" maybe general and special theory for kids? he can do that, he might have done that
I strongly suspect that "flat-earthers" are just trolling, because I can't believe that anyone who thinks the earth is flat wouldn't want to go and look over the edge.
I would immediately make it my life's mission to go beyond the edge if I thought it was flat. Further more, I'd stop everything I was doing and just be in a constant state of wide-eyed astonishment. I'd probably need therapy due to the fact that every tiny detail of life was wrong and nothing makes sense any more. Yet these fuckin high school drop out idiots just carry on as normal, texting, taking planes and getting into keyboard wars. Fuck our species.
This may not amount to anything, but if you travel to the Baltic countries or especially the Scandinavian countries, you'll see that the Sun never really sets or that it sets for only a few hours. Now travel to, I don't know, O'ahu, Hawaii, and you'll clearly see that the sun sets in contrast to the aforementioned countries. For clarity, I'm not talking about a time difference question like, "If it's 10pm in Hawaii, then what time is it in Estonia?" Because that would only further prove that the earth isn't flat, but I digress. If I'm correct in my assertions, Flat Earth Theory cannot disprove the phenomenon that I've explained.
most of us with some education and an IQ above 70 have a difficult time processing the stupidity of this belief and trying to explain to those without. What the hell did these idiots do in school anyway?
Ace Dobbs I know, it's a sign that you can think really fast and make connections that most wouldn't expect. It makes people laugh, and say, "I hate you," at the same time.
But his rebuttals are terrible. Why can you see london from New York? its called atmosphere. I can't see mountains clearly 200kms away...just the blurry outline...even with a telescope. You can't see the end of the mississippi river because it is not in a straight line.....it winds from side to side. If he is the mouth of science....we are fucked.
This is pretty easy to test if you live in an area with lots of mountains. I can see the mountains close clearly. Then the mountains behind are blurry. Then the mountains behind I can see a brief outline But still they are full height. The mountains behind that I can't see at all as there is a fog that covers them.....except a few days a year when it is totally clear. Just test it for yourself....there is no way you could see thousands of miles even if the earth was flat.
That Guy James Couple things. 1. The Hebrew verb that is pronounced as nasa, actually means “to lift up”, but I bet your “limitless mental capacity” already knew that. 2. “Indoctrinated” you flattards keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means. 3. Basic geometry doesn’t make sense to you, don’t pretend that this does.
The Egyptians figured it out before then. They just needed a stick and pyramid. Compared the shadows did some maths, didn't just figure out the earth was round but came pretty damned close to calculating the size too.
tell me something, why does the sun go under the horizon? Like if it were going away very far would it not grow smaller to the point of it disspearing? how would the sun rise up to the point of it being half visible and half invisible by the horizon? If the idea that the setting sun is a result of it moving away and you not being able to see past a far distance, then why is it removed in parts rather than the whole thing growing smaller to the point of not seeing it.
I don’t worry about the flat earthers. I worry about the politicians trying to legislate pi to be 3.00 for the sake of simplicity. It just shows how simple the minds of our politicians are. But the trend of non science does have me worried. Let’s instruct our children the value of critical thinking.
After some minor research it would appear that the Earth is actually an oblate spheroid (In stupid that is a not perfect sphere). There is overwhelming evidence that the Earth is spherical, every field of science agrees.
I'm not justifying it on scientists. The simple fact gravity exists in the way it does proves the Earth cannot be flat. Before you say something along the line of "gravity isn't real" I actually tested multiple times my formulas for ballistics and came out with predictable results. I'm not justifying it with anyone, Science is not biased towards anyone person. If you can prove science got something wrong, they will be more than happy to correct themsleves. That's the entire phylosophy of science. Until PROVEN otherwise, the Earth is an oblate spheroid simple isn't it. And we figured out it was this shape using EVIDENCE to begin with, nothing came out of any ass, this is not religion we are talking about, everysingle equation can and does predict outcomes, which would be impossible if it was not true. Why don't you get a basic knowledge of physics and realize a flat Earth is outright impossible when we consider our current understanding of gravity and matter.
gwanael34 evidence ≠ scientists just telling you things. If you think you are so smart on the matter, share with me some of the tests that you have done to prove that gravity comes at all angles, because I doubt you can, with the limited assets we have to test that. It's not your understanding, it's what the scientists told you, that doesn't make our your evidence. Simply what is more dense than the material around it will sink, and what is less dense than the environment around it will float (There's a reason why gravity is still called a theory)
First a theory in science is way more than you think it is, look up what a scientific theory is, it's ENTIRELY based on fact and evidence. The entire concept of ballistics (which i cannot show in youtube comments) falls appart if you remove gravity, but we know how ballistics work and I tested it with 9mm guns. By using these : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajectory_of_a_projectile , you can precicely calculate how a projectile would react. "A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed," repeatedly tested and confirmed," repeatedly tested and confirmed," repeatedly tested and confirmed," repeatedly tested and confirmed," repeatedly tested and confirmed," repeatedly tested and confirmed," Yes it's a theory, THAT MEANS IT'S RIGHT YOU MORON The scientific community would be more than happy to be corrected, that's the entire goal of the scientific method. If you can actually prove what you say is true, then go get yourself a Nobel price....
I got into a similar discussion with a flat earth believer. And the argument I used was the use of time zones. Namely why in New York it's brighter in the day than it is in Los Angeles. And he actually said this, "because the sun is the light of God and it is perfect." It was a moment where I wanted to facepalm but I said, "Sorry, that's not a good enough answer."
StarDragon77 lol. Don't feel like you've destroyed the belief system of thousands of people, because you didn't. Your argument is literally WORTHLESS lol. Do your research next time and try again
sorry bro you forgot that according to the flat earthers, all of us in Australia are actors and the country does not exist!! Wait a minute that means I dont exist?? Goodbye!!
Can't we reserve a trip to space for 1 person-the head of the flat Earth society? His reaction would be recorded when he sees the truth with his own eyes. But I imagine members of his group would say he became corrupt or he would say they made the windows CGI displays.
"Trip to space" is a trip to a orbit that is not very far from the Earth. Not far enough to see it as a marble. A trip to the moon would cost a lot more to organize.
Udrakan Morturim yeah.... Okay. Not is the globe model not true, but that would not be possible, because no spacecraft can pass above 1000 km from the surface due to the Van Allen Belt. Which effectively makes the moon landing and mars rover pictures fake. Where did they come from? NASA. Where do all our spherical earth pictures come from? NASA. Why should we trust them if they're gonna lie to us straight to our faces like that?
Man, I am amateur astronom and I can see all 6 Apollo landing sites with my telescope and on some nights you can see international space station with naked eye. Maybe NASA installed CGI display in my telescope or indoctrinated me with chemtrails and mind control, but I believe what I see. I am not a "I saw a youtube video" scientist.
Udrakan Morturim I didn't say watch a UA-cam video, idiot. I said do some fucking research on the Van Allen Belt. You physically cannot take people above 1,000 km due to it and it's charged particles. NASA said it themselves. It's the very reason why they no longer send people to the moon! I'm a "i do my research" scientist not a "i saw it so it's automatically true" scientist like you
Why would anybody want to convince a "flat-earther" the world is round, is beyond me. Just look at them like they're stupid, laugh, and keep on truck'n. Do not waste your time with that silliness.
luminositymusic BrianPRickard people who have been brainwashed their whole entire life is ‘small’ minded. If I was told since I was a baby the Earth was flat, I and we would believe it.
@Fireball XL5 Do not be too pessimistic. I 100% empathize. Be glad that ALL flatearthers are AGW deniers & cuntservatives & christian, making cuntservatives & christians & AGW deniers look REALLY bad.
stop asking this stupid ass question. we don't believe there's a fucking edge. we believe that we are under a firmament. operation fish bowl is our basis on this argument.
but that's where you are wrong... you can go there. I have been to the south pole... very far in actually... it is just very dangerous (just like the north pole).
In 1519, Ferdinand Magellan led an expedition of three ships west across the Atlantic from Spain. He jogged south and located the Straits of Magellan, then sailed west across the Pacific another 7,000 miles before reaching land. Continuing west, he reached the Philippines, where a slave named Enrique overheard indigenous peoples speaking his native language. Enrique was the first person to circumnavigate the earth. Magellan was killed in a battle with indigenous people on another island in the Philippines, but what was left of his crew continued on, sailing west and west and west until they cleared the southern tip of Africa, then north to Spain. What the Greeks had realized, Magellan's expedition proved. Proved. After sailing west for nearly three years, they returned to their starting point. Proved.
There's a limit to what you can explain to truly stupid people. Anyone who's done any kind of teaching knows that. Flat Earthers are like puppies that just can't learn not to piss in the house.
I was a teacher a few years ago - I once had to explain to a senior in high school that people in Australia aren't hanging on to the Earth because they're going to fall off... She thought gravity just went straight down, not inward.
desertraven I had a few students in one class who believed we could control the weather. And when I pointed out that if we could control the weather, we wouldn't need heating or air conditioning, they went blank.
***** That's not how I meant it. As he's trying to find other ways to explain it all he can think of is "guys, c'mon." I should have said "when your argument is reduced to"
The fact that the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west, except in the poles where it never rises at all in the winter and never sets in the summer, is observable proof that Earth is not flat. Only a tilted sphere can explain this observable pattern the sun makes in the sky.
@@Im__34 I wanted to share one thing that helped convince me that the Bible is not just a book of human wisdom. When the Bible comments on scientific matters, it is in agreement with modern science. For example, when the earliest portions of the Bible were written, most people believed the earth was flat and rested on something. But here are two examples of the accuracy of the Bible on scientific matters: Job 26:7 "He [God] stretches out the northern sky over empty space, Suspending the earth upon nothing" Isaiah 40:22 "There is One who dwells above the circle of the earth" These verses were written about 1400 BCE and 700 BCE respectively. These examples have strengthened my trust in the Bible as the Word of God. 😊
Bill forgot to mention that at the poles the night-sky moves totally paralel to the horizon, whereas at the equator it moves perpdendicular to it. THis is totally unexplainable on a flat disk, but very logical on a sphere. Furthermore a falt disk should have a circumfirence, and we have yet to find one.
Oh, they have tried to explain that. The real kick to the nuts is that there are two pole stars: Polaris in the northern hemisphere and Sigma Octanis in the southern hemisphere. Not only that: the star trails rotate to opposite directions.
Polaris they can answer on their disk. Sigma Octanis they cannot. And they refuse to see it. It is actually a blatant debunk to their world view. 3 people sit at the southern tips of 3 continents: South America, Africa, and Australia. Facing directly south and looking at the sky, they all see Octanis. On a round earth, this is because they are all looking towards the bottom of the globe. On a flat earth, this would somehow involve them all looking in differing directions with no intersecting point of view yet see the exact same object. You point it out to them, they freeze. They never respond to that one. Whatever post they're replying to that includes that point, they skirt around it by not mentioning it.
It kills me there are people that are so damn stupid that they think the Earth is flat. I sincerely hope most of these people are just trolls, that would at least give me some hope for humanity.
wtf .. lol .. and that must excuse all the bullshit.. just look at the haj (scary behavior in a modern scientific world).. it's like a badge to identify lesser education, just like the jesus fish bumper sticker.. Wahaj Ahmed
Simple questions that flat earthers cannot answer. 1. How is it that the earth makes a spherical shadow on the moon on a lunar eclipse? 2. How is it that you cannot see Mt Everest from a telescope from anywhere on earth? 3. How is it that we cannot see Japan or even Hawaii form any telescope from California? 4. How is it that some places are light/dark for 24+ hours to months? 5. How is it that the sun sets below the horizon every night? 6. Why does a hurricane deflect to the right on the north side of the equator and on the south side of the equator they deflect to the left? 7. The stars at night change depending on where you are at. Orion is upside down if you are in Australia, how can that be possible on a flat earth? 8. If the earth is flat then why do we have different season at the same time at different locations on the earth? 9. If the earth is flat then what about different time zones. It is always day time somewhere and night time somewhere else. 10. What about the horizon? If the earth were flat there would not be a horizon beyond on which things could disappear. Take Lake Michigan, you would be able to see all of Chicago as well as the Rocky Mountains if the earth were flat.
they would say: 1: moon doesn't exist. just a projection on the sky dome 2 and 3: atmospheric disturbances 4: god (or the illuminati) made it so 5: the sun isn't real. just a lamp moving on the sky dome 6: (see 4) 7: stars aren't real (see 1 and 5) 8 and 9: the lamp moves in different ways 10: it's too far away. also atmospheric disturbances you need some serious brain gymnastics to argue with these people
Simple, buy the flat earthers a cross-globe plane ticket beginning in 1 city and always heading in one direction East or West until they've arrived at the city they started at. Refuel at airports along the way & have them bring along a compass so they know they're headed in the same direction. I honestly can't believe questions like this are being debated in the 21st century.
But You know what they’ll probably say they’ll probably say that NASA or the government has portals on either end of the world so that it will take us from one side to the other to make us think that the world is round
The General Lee they will say there is a compass conspiracy whereby the compass always points in a direction that favors a Globe. NASA henchmen come and deal with anyone trying to make their own compass.
The rebuttal I got for this question to the flat earther I know was yeah but there’s nothing that goes north to south he also has a bunch of conspiracy theories about nasa and the government
Flat earthers: guys... Come on the Earth isn't really r0UnD is it? Bill: Proves Earth is actually round Flat earthers: The government payed you!!!!!11!!! Society: 🤦
My thing is they say it is round but it isn't it is more oval.... and yes it does make a difference.... If they lie about that (which pics show a perfect round earth) then what else are they willing to lie about?
@@beerd6706 then how come NASA did come out and said that the photos that are taken of earth are photoshopped. Now I'm not saying that the earth is flat. I'm just saying that the shape of earth isn't correct as many believe it to be. You have not just one org lie to the masses but ALL of them lied about it. That's is the problem and if they are WILLING to lie about our own planet why wouldn't they lie about other things? It's a simple statement.
@@alexisbrianne3 What NASA means is that the Satellites taking the photos can only take a photo of a section of the planet, so what the then do is take all the photos and make them into one to show the Earth. It is the same as producing images of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn etc. The get a Mosaic of Pictures and then use the computer to produce the final image that we see. And finally, just look at the photo the Astronauts took of Earth from the moon.
@@BatMan-oe2gh NASA already issued a statement saying they are photoshopped to look more round. Look it up. I'm not here to feed you what I already did myself. Bye
@@alexisbrianne3 That is a blatant lie and here is the real truth. Read and Learn please www.space.com/9337-conspiracy-debunked-nasa-photoshops-images-good-reason.html www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2016/07/13/why-nasas-new-photos-of-the-moon-look-super-fake-even-though-theyre-not/?noredirect=on&.36247b5b0b2a www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/about/people/RSimmon.html You people have a really bad habit of looking at a headline and not reading all of the article. And I explained how and why they photo shop. But your little mind refuses to accept the truth and stick with the lies. I have checked all sources, and NASA did not say they photoshopped the Earth to look more round. That is a Lie from you.
At the end he is alluding to sextants and I have yet to see a FE explanation for sextants. If the Earth was flat and heavenly objects like Polaris were close then sextants would not show latitudes changing by equal amounts for equal distances traveled, whereas if those objects are a long way away and the Earth is nearly spherical that is exactly what you would expect.
Copydot "Crazier" would have been better in the context perhaps? Certainly citing the use of the word "Stupider" is the *craziest* argument I've ever heard for rejecting a spherical Earth. But then only people already convinced of a FE say "ball" so I doubt it actually had that effect.
lol I have a friend that I always have flat earth debates with (I pretend to be a flat-earther). The point is to prove that if you have a concept of God, anything can be true.
elunicocalvo why? So we could confirm our beliefs when we get the chance to fire a rail gun over 100 miles in a straight line without allowing for any curvature?
@elunicocalvo I've been in the navy for 3 years and spent over 21 months at sea. My job before I rerated was to conduct nightly lookouts for ships that came within eye view errr about 13 miles or so. I had a supervisor who was a BM2 at the time and he was a flat earther. Point of the story, there are stupid people everywhere...
C Hall u never even seen a picture of earth n neither has bill fuckin nye lol. A better question would be y does the govt have the edge (Antarctica) controlled and no one can enter
LolZin dude, A better question is why you think your youtube sources are accurate? There are thousands of people that go to Antartica and visit the south pole. Google Anthony Bourdain goes to Antartica and films the midnite sun, you doofus. Apollo crew took photographs of the earth on film dude. No cgi or photoshop then. You discovered another youtube lie. you lie like you breathe.
after watching a flat earth documentary youtube thinks im dumb and now its giving me abunch of videos that proboly go like,'why we know the earth is round'
Another irrefutable proof for the Earth being round is the phenomenon of night. If the Earth truly were a flat disk and not spheroid, and the Sun circled over the disk Earth around the North Pole (as the the Flat Earth model posits), then areas of the Earth furthest away from the Sun's orientation to it would never experience the degree of darkness that we observe when it is nighttime -- such areas would experience a diffused amount of sunlight but never the darkness we see at night as the Sun would still be visible but appear further away than during daylight hours.
PembrokeshireRocket So he's a nerd for being smart and sensible, unlike you? If you were smart enough, you probably would have understood, but since you have an IQ of 40, you decided to believe in BS.
Shruggz Da Str8-Faced Clown The Bible says that the sun,moon and stars are all within the Firmament of the earth.You can see photos of clouds infront and behind the sun.Soo pls tell me how there are clouds in Space.
I like how Bill uses basic concepts that even a child could understand and comprehend. You don't need much math or geometry to explain it, but when people try, those concepts go over the heads of flat-tards and they quickly tune out. Bill is a patient man.
So few things...(Long comment warning) - Why we cant fall from the edge of the earth if i go to east for example? Do you just suddenly emerge from the west side of the flat disk? If they try to debate this like "Oh well the earth has a small ramp on its side so a ship passing that they would arrive under the earth" Well first its not flat at that point and 2nd wouldnt we see the ship disappear beyond the horizon way easier while observing ON the ramp? - Just let a flat earther on the next rocket trip to ISS and let them see the earth by themselves. Wouldnt that be the easiest research "by yourself"? oh wait that would be dangerous because the G forces of the rocket would be too much for unfit bodies because of the speed and well...force obviously unlike actual astronauts who train long before the rocket trip - What's with the obsession of trying to proove a flat earth anyways? No common person needs to care about that. Is it the obsession of trying to be smarter than scientists? Trying to proove to be something? I never understood that. - And lastly on the side of fact checking i'd rather take advice from actual scientists with degrees who dedicate their lives to study than from a common dude with no experience who just uses social media for research for few hours trying to proove nothing. I'll drop the mic.
you see the reason disproving the flat earth theory is that stupidity is a virus more deadly than ever before, right now it's that the Earth is flat or vaccines are dangerous (which is a very dangerous statement because you don't only risk yourself but people around you if you don't get a specific vaccine for a specific disease) but later on it can become something much more dangerous, for example, what a random conspiracy theorists start believing bloodletting actually works and no amount of scientific evidence can convince him otherwise, he started to spread this belief to other and slowly people start dying because of this. It's far better to eradicate any form of stupidity just so there is a minimal chance that anything bad can happen.
Would we trust a doctor to operate on a heart if we knew he/she has never done the procedure or even studied the material for that matter? Why would we believe someone claiming the earth is flat if they have never been in space or even studied the natural laws that govern the functions of our planet? We defer to the professionals in lieu of actual self experience because it's the most responsible and mature approach to a problem. All this aside however, common sense and our own eyes can tell us the Earth is not flat. If you stand atop a mountain and stare across its valleys you can see for miles and miles at the right angle. After a certain distance away from the shore however the land disappears from view. This wouldn't happen if the Earth was flat. You would be able to hundreds and hundreds of miles away before details would begin to be unrecognizable. This harebrained notion is a slap in the face to real accomplishment and real professional's hard work and self sacrifice. Flat Earth theory is a grasp at self importance in the absence of something more meaningful in peoples lives. Some people just need something to hold onto in this turbulent and often unrewarding world. Earth science and ecology should be a priority subject in schools. Sadly nobody finds science very interesting for some reason. We'd rather hypothesize about it than actually learn it. To all you science lovers out there props! Love you!
Why would you believe a group that takes 19.5 billion funding, plus other donations, and not independent scientists, who receive no funding. Would you lie to keep 19.5 billion coming in a per year. Why Don't they just take some flat earth scientists up to the ISS? The only people so far are all from space agencies. Gee, Go figure. It would be so easy to prove. Why Don't They? Nothing to hide, right? And , no you wouldn't be able to see hundreds of miles. Ever look at the visibility while watching the weather channel?. Pilots get the visibility reports before they fly. Don't fly VFR if the visibility is less than two miles. Plus our eye sight is limited. Sorry, we can't see an infinite distance. Just watch a flock of geese flying away from you. After a while you can't see them. No, tey didn't disappear over the curve. LOL. There is the great Salt flats where the air is so dry you can see much, much farther, and it's flat. but there are scientists that do experiments, BTW, how does the horizon stay at eye level 300,0 10,000, 30,000, 40,000, 45,000, etc. and the horizon remains at eye level. A Curve would fall below eye level. Learning to fly I was told to keep the wings level and horizon at eye level. No, you don't adjust every so often for curvature. You trim, say at 5000 ft, and you stay there. People will lie to keep their job. Here's a question....The Earth spins a full spin every 23.56 hours. At summer solstice it is 12 noon. Remember, the tilt never changes. It always points the same direction, has a slight wobble according to Them, so when we reach winter solstice 180 degrees on the other side of the sun, how can it be 12 noon? We're on the night side, or do we delete 11.78 hours somewhere during the year? Will you be able to wrap your brain around what I just asked or are you going to come back with I'm a flatard idiot or something? Oh, the independent scientists........... ua-cam.com/video/NE3WpJ3n80c/v-deo.html .......And if you believe NASA's Earth pictures are real photos, then you believe Star Wars is real. CGI can make anything look real, even CNN..... As far as common sense, we're told we are spinning approximately 1000 mph being dragged with the sun at 66,600 mph, being dragged around with the galaxy at 500, 000 mp second and the Polaris star somehow remains above the North Pole and all the stars are still the same making (perfect) circles around us after 1000s of years. Amazing. Neil Degrasse says the Earth is pare shaped, but all their pictures are perfect balls, and they're all different with copy and paste clouds. And the real night live stream views have no clouds. Hmm, again, Amazing. Do you really think the people who control the world tell the masses nothing but the truth? History shows where we stand in relation to those that have control, and they want to keep it that way. Theirs is a club and we're not in it like George Carlin said. And what would it do to the BIG BANG Theory? WOW. Can you imagine the unraveling that would cause? And no more 19.5 in funds any more, plus other donations.
I'm going to be very kind to you since you clearly did a lot of research here and I'm not interested in the debate around this topic any further. Believe what you want, but denying science is going to be the downfall of this planet. I try very hard to keep a level head and use tact in all my exchanges with people of differing views. It was fun for a minute, but I'm tired of arguing with people that wish to remain ignorant. Believe what you want to, but please take an earth science class if you haven't yet. If you've taken one already, take it against and pay better attention. I'm going to do something environmental now. Peace.
Tizayi Zirereza Really? Do you know what flat Earth would do to BIG BANG? A ball Earth isn't like Gravity. HUH???? Oh, by the way . Wow, can tell you never flew. You know what's really great about altitude. the air gets thinner and clearer. Now if you only understood that things on the ground seem to get smaller as they get farther away and then finally reach a vanishing point and even in the air. So, you're saying a ball with a downward curvature would rise to eye level, but a flat straight Earth horizon wouldn't? Are you that DENSE? A curvature doesn't rise, it falls or curves down. It's a Currrrve. DUH! And where is your proof the Earth is pear shaped NASA Parrot. I'm done here. Go take some flying lessons. Now when the instructor tells you wings level, nose on the horizon, tell him you'll have to adjust for curvature even though the horizon is at eye level. Hahahahahah!. LOL! Where has the round earth, (which makes Neil Degrasse, their star spokesman , a LIAR) and gravity, which Neil Can't say what it is, Been physically proven? CGI Is Not Real. The Cavendish experiment? Hmmmmm. ua-cam.com/video/udn_9KPEZK0/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/W6aD4-kwBnQ/v-deo.html Of course these will mean nothing to you. You're a NASA parrot and this is just Joe Blow Physics guy and only well advertised and celebrity scientists are the only good scientists on this planet, no matter how many times they have been proven wrong. Go look that up. Science proven wrong. Do you really think YOU proved the Earth is a Ball? Really? Go write a paper. LOL!
the same reason you should not trust a person who has never been to space to witness if the earth is round ?ask bill if he has been to space to witness this ?? hmmm i think not
+MulTiTuri Lmao say that to them and they will just star foaming at the mouth about how evolution is "proven wrong", while they have no idea how it works.
If the earth is spherical and spinning on an axis, and NASA has hundreds of of satellites watching it then why isn't there one single video which shows the earth spinning or even any photos of the earth itself. All the spherical images of the earth you see are composites (apart from only one from 1972 which NASA claims is genuine) and all the video is CGI. If the earth is spherical why does Neil Degrasshole Tyson say the earth is actually "oblate" and pear-shaped? Like this shill just echoed. Yet all the images of the earth show it as a perfect sphere?
I'm not a Flat Earther, but he really didn't explain this to me. He laughs at it but didn't go into really any detail, just made himself seem condescending. A good response could be......."in the year YYYY, XYZ traveled in space and was far enough away to witness first hand that the earth was indeed round and provided documentation. To me the earth is so big that it seems naive to say that you would be able to verify that the earth was round by standing on a hill. I want proof that all of the photos taken weren't CGI. Come on Bill Nye, show respect even if they don't agree with you.
@@krissykatportal I am sorry, I didn't mean to offend them or you. Since you question the sphere, what shape do you think Earth is? Are you a tubeearther? A triangleearther? A cubeearther?
The level of underlying fear in all the paid-for, orchestrated comments on here is extremely TELLING, wouldn't say? How SAD for you to have been so deceived by a man with a mechanical engineering degree..."It is FAAAAR easier to Fool someone than to convince them that they've BEEN FOOLED." Truth, like WATER, a-l-w-a-y-s WINS! Watch, wait and learn.
I am a bit surprised that Bill Nye would even bother with the question. Look out for any body of water that is greater than 14 miles (about 25 km) wide and try to see the other side. Use a telescope. Lake Michigan is a perfect example. Stand on the shore at Kenosha, Wisconsin and look east. If you can't see Michigan, the Earth is curved. Heck, Professor Bulfinch taught me that when I was 8 years old. ;-P
It should be visible from 15 miles away the Earth would curve 10 feet....so unless the ship is less than 10 feet you should be able to see it (you must be lying down on the beach to do this I believe standing up would change the measurement)
The easiest test to prove the earth is round. Look at the clouds in the sky during the daytime. The clouds directly above you look really high up. However, if you look as far as you can out towards the horizon or the tree line the clouds look as though they're at the same height as the trees. If the earth was flat the clouds would look really high up no matter how far out you look.
Actually the clouds debunk the flat earth. Research cloud sun rays! Then research the distance of the sun from earth! If you still dont understand then you’ve been successfully indoctrinated.
@@chrisallen7399 Firstly, I dont think you understand what debunk means. Secondly, crepuscular sun rays look like that due to a visual illusion, similarily to how railway lines look like they have a point where the come together. Thirdly, I don't know how this is supposed to disprove what he's saying about clouds appearing at eye level in the distance.
3:56 Ancient Greeks didn't know the size of the earth? Eratosthenes figured out the circumference of the earth with an error of only about 10%, realistically the best anyone could do with only ancient tools for measuring (stepping off distance). He was more right than Christopher Columbus was 1700 years later, who chose to believe cartographers more than Eratosthenes' math.
I think the point is that one person figuring it out doesnt mean that it is "known" . So the ancient greeks not knowing the size of the earth is both true and false.
codysb05 I don't think "known" should mean "generally accepted as fact". In that case, it is still not known to this day that the earth is round :P For example, would you say the ancient Egyptians knew how to build pyramids? The majority of them did not, but It was obviously known to them because they did it, so a few engineers had the knowledge.
You are just starting shit for honestly no reason. Bill sits there in a chair pulling the stuff out his head while you google something to find any small fault, then use that to harass him. You must live a sad life. Go find some pleasure friend and chill out.
brandan matthews Funny thing is I didn't google anything, so you probably should before you believe me because I may have gotten specifics incorrect. I have heard the story of Eratosthenes many times and it is pretty popular in that it comes up often when talking about the size and shape of the Earth. Which is why I commented, because as soon as Bill said Ancient Greeks I was surprised he went with the eclipse example and not Eratosthenes. When Bill says "they didn't know the size of the Earth- to the degree of certainty..." he is obviously aware of the story of Eratosthenes or he wouldn't have added the degree of certainty part. My argument is that their knowledge of the size of the Earth was extremely accurate for what the had to work with, more accurate than anyone else came close to for over 2000 years. So if I were Bill in addition to the eclipse example I would say something like "Not only did they know it was round, but they accurately calculated the size of it too!" I'm not trying to "start shit" or even attacking Bill, just trying to spread some knowledge. Not sure why you see the need to vehemently defend Bill, be careful of blindly defending your heroes and those you idolize. To paraphrase a famous quote "As your instructor point you towards the goal, do not become fixated on the finger or you will lose focus of the goal." Bill is just a finger, the knowledge is the important part.
Religion is an instinct, they say, and people who can rise above instincts are more intelligent than those who rely on them. "Intelligence - in rationally solving problems - can be understood as involving overcoming instinct and being intellectually curious and thus open to non-instinctive possibilities," study lead author Edward Dutton, a research fellow at the Ulster Institute for Social Research in the United Kingdom

Poor Bill. His expression through this whole video just screams "I'm an actual, qualified scientist. Why the fuck am I explaining that the Earth is round to adults in 2016?"
Bill's a genius! OMG I love how flat earther's still don't get BASIC SCIENCE! Like the circumference of the Earth is 8 inches per mile squared and yet the longest river on Earth, the Nile, only drops 1 foot over its entire length. How dumb are they to not understand the trigonometry of a ball??
@@boterlettersukkel Ha! I see what you did there. Comedy gold. So what's the equation for the curvature of the earth? (Not expecting an answer as you people never can give a straight answer to simple questions about the nature of reality)

@๖Donnie๖ ๖Campbell๖ And here we are a month later...and the Earth is still Flat as ever. A month goes by...more NASA studio outtakes filmed and busted...more Liars exposed for not knowing any real science or physics...and the Earth remains flat thru all of this bullshit...just like yo bullshit. This time next year though...you'll be one of the people saying "I was telling them it was Flat..that's what I was really trying to say..they just needed to research, that's why I said those things...but I know it's Flat."
@Richard Rue Oh yes!
David Banner F.E.S.: I have a further update for you. Highly likely there is no god or gods, nothing supernatural, no ghosts, no afterlife. Reject reality and you reject the only life you'll ever have. Reality is, the Earth is a sphere. And it's not hollow. It's full of magma and iron.
It is so sad we are still explaining this to adults.
It is. These people need psychiatric help.
Exactly lol.
I think we need a new definition of "adult".
J. S. Let me guess you have been in outerspace... and seen CGI photos...
Yes, and we've also seen simple proof to conduct the earth is round. If you are stubborn enough to not take Bill's examples, take mine. It's a fairly simple one. Test it; Go to a beach and pay attention to a boat moving further away. You will see that the boat slowly disappears from bottom up. Why's that? Why do you think that is my friend? Well, you see, the curvature. THE CURVATURE. I don't know how many more times I can explain this simple test before my mind explodes. Still not convinced? Alright! No problem! Go on a cruise, and go out on the deck at night time, like I did where it was very peaceful, and see how the land slowly RISES. It's not just automatically there, nor do is enlarge in size. If you can't get on a cruise, boat, etc, then watch a damn video of someone on a cruise.
When i was a child the analogy/metaphor "People used to think the Earth was flat" was used to highlight how far we've come.
Now this believe is back and thriving. Now it's like a fucking metaphor for how far backwards we've gone...
Uncorkedscotty
No, it isn’t ‘back’. There are always idiots, the deluded, and people who seem to want to be scammed for some reason. The internet has let this tiny minority form their own society of imbeciles. Similarly, there are far fewer racists now than at any time in the past, however they can organise more effectively and show up in fairly large numbers.
Terence Dempsey one of the best examples is lunar eclipses.
Or rather easiest I should say, all methods that prove the earth isn't flat are of course equally proof positive.

I have a personal story about this. I used to work for a high frequency trading firm, that firm would do anything to earn more money and one of the things they did was to not use cable internet for their trades, instead they had microwave towers sending the signals through the air, it was simply faster.
However this was only possible between exchanges that were relatively close to each other, it was not possible to send the microwaves over the Atlantic for example. Why? Because of the curvature of the earth, as those microwaves only travel in a straight line. So if you wanted to trade between the New York exchange and the London exchange for example, you had to use a cable.
Trust me, if the world were flat, a greedy trading company like that would 100% use it to their advantage but it isn't.
You can tell he’s done with this flat earth crap, it’s the 21st century and people still believe that the earth is flat. Wtf
-_- waitingDAY killed
Lily Higg people still believe that we spin on a globe but when we Jump we land in the same spot wtf.
well if you would just jump properly for once (cancelling your rotational velocity) you wouldn't land in the same spot, and would probably make a large red smear after hitting the ground at such a difference in speed
Because you jump and land on the same spot because the earth didn't stay still under you. Neither does the atmosphere. You moved in the air and the earth moved at the same speed of the air. then you land in the exact same spot because the atmosphere moves with the earth.
Khameron, it's like walking forward while bouncing a ball in Basketball or Netball, it stays with you while you are moving forward, when it is in mid-air. You don't bounce the ball *forward* in those sorts of games while dribbling because the forward momentum of you walking/running is enough to keep the ball moving forward at the same speed, despite the fact the ball is in contact with your hand for less time than it is in the air. If you scale that up to the size and speed of the earth, the ball being a person and the hand being the earth, it is perfectly understandable. And in the case of the ball, it touches the ground and it still maintains the same speed as you, making your argument even more invalid. Another great demonstration would be with bouncing a tennis ball on a tennis racket while moving. As long as you keep a constant speed, the ball will stay with you, provided you don't launch it into orbit. The tennis racket doesn't even need gravity or an atmosphere, and it still manages to prove this. Have a good day.
His face just asks: "Are we still talking about this?"

dan 1 look at pictures from space. Lmao dude they are cgi. We have a 3 mile range of visibility how does he claim we are suppose to see further. That shadow on the moon is bullshit. Spend some time looking in the sky. And one day you. Will notice the moon next to the sun so whats casting the shadow if that shadow is only possible if the moon and sun are on opposite ends.
Ugh ugh ugh slighty oblate seem like saying flat to me.
Dr Rojosabroso I can't tell if you are trolling or not. I would feel bad for you if not
Dr Rojosabroso The shadow on the moon are lunar eclipses. But now that you bring up moon being next to the sun, notice that only the side towards the sun is lit. And notice that the closer it is to the sun, the less lit it is. Do you want to know why this is? Because the moon is between us and the sun.
To demonstrate this, go to a dark room, take a tennis ball and stand opposite to a lit lamp with it. Move the ball between you and the lamp from left to right, and watch as the light moves across its surface. Does it remind you of something?
It’s a square!

Not round, not flat. The Earth is officially Wuuuaaaahl
obviously a dinosaur
Lol
Actually, already Eratosthenes not only showed in the 3rd century BC that the earth is round but with stunning accuracy calculated its size.
Yeah, that part kind of bothered me too.
Correct, and you just went over the heads of half the people in this country.

Michael Raskulinec a flat map? A flat piece of paper? No way
Mr. Micheal I suggest you do a simple experiment. Go to any tall building from where you can see sunset. Have a friend stand on the top of the tower and you stand on the bottom. Call your friend on the phone and tell him exactly when you see the sun set. You will see that the sun sets over 5-6 minutes later for your friend depending on the hieght of the building. Think about how that happens. Cheers!!!
Nemeem Faizi You think someone like him lives anywhere close to tall buildings? Even so he probably doesn't have any friends.
I cracked up when Bill chuckled & said oh my at 2:40😂. I understand Bill, I understand.
How SAD for you to have been so deceived by a man with a mechanical engineering degree..."It is FAAAAR easier to Fool someone than to convince them that they've BEEN FOOLED." Truth, like WATER, a-l-w-a-y-s WINS! Watch, wait and learn.
@@richardblack9067
So, I've been fooled into believing that the earth is spherical!?
Let me just say this, future generations will be laughing at us, thanks to imbeciles like you who believe otherwise.
Yes, that's exactly right, it is faaar easier to fool someone than to convince them that they've been fooled.. Keep repeating it, because it is very relevant to you.
@@richardblack9067 the funny thing is, that quote works beyond perfectly for you. You've been "fooled" by a bunch of con-men. Your so stupid that they don't even need to try to fool you anymore.
Its so depressing to see flat earthers all through the comment section... humankind is a weird bunch

We REALLY are, aren't we?
Flatards are beyond weird, and the thing that terrifies me is that some of them aren't stupid, they're just gullible.
And even worse, some of them just like the attention 😨
Michael Coulter so you're saying that nothing flat earth believers present make any sense even if you disagree
no buddy, Americans are.
Good Fella
The trouble is that none of it makes any sense!
I honestly wonder about the sanity of the "true believers", as I can describe 3 experiments that can be done by anybody, and should convince anybody that we live on an oblate spheriod, but most flat earthers refuse to even try them, or claim that they have performed the same experiments, and have found that they prove flat earth!
Which is completely impossible, because I've done 2 of these experiments myself, and have seen proof of curvature with my own eyes.
(I didn't do these things because I've ever believed in flat earth, but because I like to prove things for myself)
Here's the easiest way to prove to someone's own eyes that the world is spherical:
On a clear day go visit the Indiana dunes, they're on the south east coast of Lake Michigan. Take some binoculars or a telescope with you. Look West across the lake at Chicago. You can see the skyscrapers, but only from about the tenth floor upwards. Meaning that you cannot see below the tenth floor of the skyscrapers because the water of Lake Michigan is in the way.
Then try to figure out the rest all by your lonesome.
So your saying that you can see the city from more than 60 miles away on a globe earth? How is this possible, since a city that distant should be without question below the curvature by at least 2000 ft. If you claim optical illusion due to cold air on the lake and warmer air above it, b ending light around curvature, I call bs. If that were the real cause, we would always see the city, since hot air always raises and cold air always settles...so warmer air is always higher than colder air...period.
I didn't say anything about hot or cold air or refraction indexes. BTW the Indiana Dunes State Park is exactly 32 miles as the crow flies from the Chicago Skyline. Yes you can see the buildings on a clear day, but only floors higher up the taller buildings. Go check it out for yourself, see if your eyes deceive you.
Dear Richard , there is test that 100% PROVE ( and im not lying when I say 100% ) that because of the Atmosphere , and air obstructions you can not see the WHOLE buildings.
So you're saying that the air curves the light from the buildings so that it appears to be below the horizon? What physics books are you reading or misinterpreting? Answer me one question, what's in this crazy belief for you? I mean what do you get out of telling people that the world is flat? This must be a hard road to plough.
BTW just to advise first hand, I have flown to the edge of space myself (Over 60,000 feet) and have seen the curve of the Earth with my own two eyes. Unless you have some reason to believe that I am suffering from hallucinations??
I have another experiment for you to try out. Get a friend you trust to stay near to your home, then you fly to the other side of the world (Maybe Australia??) The call them on the phone at a set time and ask them if it's day or night, morning or evening...You might be surprised by the result that your friend is diurnal when you are nocturnal. I presume you have an answer for that one too.
Richard Godwin Dont bother, if you give flattards any peice of evidence that breaks their theory they just add those pgysics to the list of non-existing government created physics and make up some half-ass excuse to keep a tiny flame in their extremely dumb and ancient theory.
When Jupiter is closest to Earth, it's about 365 million miles away. You can't see Mount Everest from Bangladesh and it's only 140 miles away. With a flat earth, you would expect to see Mount Everest, at least with a telescope.
as glass is transparent and reflective simultaneously
air has those qualities as well
- however
with no obstructions - (evaporation, condensation, wind, clouds, hills, plants )
and very cold air present . . . . . . . you should see it with your telescope
You are actually right. You can theoretically see it within a 211 mile radius, with no obstructions. So my point is: You should be able to see it from anywhere on Earth, if it was actually flat. And that is clearly not the case :-)
And that is clearly not the case :-)
the key word is "clear"
if it were clear with no obstructions - (evaporation, condensation, wind, clouds, haze, particles, temperature, hills, mountains, plants )
and very cold air present . . . . . . . you should see it with your telescope
- if earth were a flat plane
SIMON , the thing is there IS INDEED obstructions , quite few of them acttualy. But this guy doesnt wanna say he believes in something different because you would not take him seriously....There is and obvious answer for not-round earth lol!
oui manbou where do the obstructions go when we observe Jupiter?
Do you believe that when you look up towards the sky the obstructions (evaporation, etc )magically disappear?
There are so many easy evidence
for that. As follows.
1. If you place a gyroscope (ability to maintain direction in space regardless of the movement)
on the earth surface it will experience tilt and drift, if the earth is as the
flat earthier say, then it would not have any tilt at all & drift (subject
to whether the flat earth rotates around its own point or axis), if rotate then
will have drift, if not then no drift.
2. Another strong point is corriolocis force. The
wind from the equator have to have
reduced radius( distance from rotational axis) as it goes up in both the hemisphere,
thereby to maintain constant angular momentum it’s speed has to increase thus overshoot
the earth surface speed, vice versa and tends to deflect right in north
hemisphere and left in south hemisphere. (Direction
of wind, from where it’s coming). For the same reason, TRS( Cyclone/typhoon)
rotates in opposite direction in NH & SH.
3. If you sail along the earth surface and tries to keep Constant course you will be
sailing in Mercator projection which is curved route and longer distance and if
you want to sail in straight point to point (reduced distance) then have to
follow great circle sailing meaning changing course all the time, if the earth
would be flat, then this phenomena does not need to come in the first place.
4. If the earth is flat then how do you explain ocean current and wind pattern?
5. If the earth is flat the most of the shipping route from extreme west to extreme east would be so much longer than it is today.
Have you ever even been to space? If not, maybe dont spout facts about what happens there.
best method of proof would be to watch the sunset in dubai, then go to the top of the Burj Khalifa and watch the sunset again.. if we lived in the flat earth model, one would have to move laterally to see the sunset again, but since we live on a sphere, you need to move vertically to see it again..
KremitDeFrog That is NOT true....You have thirly explained how sun is working on a flat earth. Because sun in reality is WAAY closer and way smaller than you think. Thanks for your time. Go ahead and call me whatever. If you search it , it will just come to your common sense. You have whole explanation of sun NOT on Sphere Earth , to say the least. Doesnt have to be FLAT. But most definetly not helio-centric and definetly no solar system there.
Ha yes look guys another one ^^^^

Jackie Treehorn the Earth was never a ball to begin with lmfaooo.
I don't really see a point with arguing with the Earth's shape in my perspective at least, even if the whole "Flat Earth" shit was true it wouldn't matter anyway cuz we'd all be carrying on our daily lives as if nothing ever happened
Jackie Treehorn
You sir, are a dumbass.
I like how Bill uses basic concepts that even a child could understand and comprehend. You don't need much math or geometry to explain it, but when people try, those concepts go over the heads of flat-tards and they quickly tune out. Bill is a patient man.
Yea, these are childish explanations.
Yes, The ideas presented here are real world situations that even a child can replicate. But there's still a lot of math out there if someone demands more. But those maths aren't entirely necessary for proving the earth isn't flat.
Sometimes simplicity can be much more compelling.
For instance, if the earth is flat, why can't I see the Appalachian Mountains from the Rocky Mountains by using a high end telescope?
Why can't a person atop the Eiffel Tower see the Roman Coliseum?
Why can't I use a telescope to constantly watch a boat leave New York and arrive in Europe?
Yeah hahahahahaha this IS what children are told to understand!
Wake up man!I believe in you!
Dave Marx Dude you do need the math,evidence and proof to prove it is a sphere.Which the math is theorized,proof is faked with photoshop and CGI and the evidence is non existent.
All the while multiple miles have been scientifically observed ,measured and proven to be flat where there should be hundreds of feet of curvature.The boat over the horizon has been debunked.
Also if you do not understand the vanishing point of perspective and the nature of our atmosphere then your question about seeing the mountains kinda makes sense for one that is ignorant.But if you understand perspective(taught in art) then you will know even with magnification we do not have infinite vision.Also the atmospheres humidity,dust and other variables blur everything at a point.Which brings me to the point of light.Light does not have an infinite shine through darkness.This is common sense.You really think those stars and "planets " are trillions or millions light years away?Also you really think a non vacuum entity is capable of withstanding being surrounded by a infinite vacuum ?Which vacuums have to be contained to function by the way.
bicivelo,
Spot on bici, flatties wouldn't understand any math anyway. He's awesome.
LOL I have never seen Bill so frustrated about any science topic.
This was excruciating to watch...not one proof the earth is a globe...just descriptions about some Greek, or some thing about not being able to watch Spain from St. Louis....what? He made no sense what so ever....
Kata calling a person dumb does not make an argument of any kind. Its an insult. Stop it.
@@ivegonemad you are a dumbass..

Have you not seen him talk to ken ham? Lol. Hilarious
None of this would be worth a bean to flatheads. They prefer simple observations made by others and reduced to catchy phrases. Telling these people to learn how to navigate presumes they actually want to challenge their condition.
T Rex please look into the Jesuits. In God and Jesus name I pray
How do you think the Jesuits reached places like South America, or Japan??? Someone on their boat knew the world was a ball and used an astrolabe or a sextant. Look into the Jesuits navigating to Japan or south America. Then work out how they managed that without the world being a ball.
T Rex you seriously believe the bs this man just spewed. Hahaha he said that the paperwork is too much and would cost too much to fake the NASA pictures yet he later said the earth isn’t perfectly spherical but rather oblate. Go look at the NASA pictures for yourself but to me that looks like a perfect sphere! Stop buying into this and open your eyes that they have been lying to you!!!
Slugger 22 - T Rex is on your side.
Ultimate Warrior X2 - I disagree with T-Rex's statement for a different reason. Even if you show the Flatties observations by others, they will only believe what fits their predetermined beliefs.
Because otherwise everything would have been pushed off the earth by cats
you have just solved the problem. well done 🙌

Arguments by flatards: but it doesn't feel like is a sphere... But I can't see gravity so it means that it doesn't exist... All pictures are CGI even before that technology exists... I can't feel rotating so that means it doesn't do that...
8slkmic because it doesn't feel like that...
carolina cuchacovich The first pictures of earth were taken through a circular window in a high altitude plane.Do some research!
Jesusauras Rex from a high altitude I can't see the circunferencia of the planet, so it must be a disc surrendered by a magic dome
carolina cuchacovich Yeah just like, ' I am told earth is a sphere spinning at 1,000 miles per hour while maintaining calms skies and an atmosphere that magically defeats an infinite vacuum force.
While the earth rotates around the sun at 66,600 miles per hour while the sun soars through the galaxy at hundreds of thousands miles per hour,while the galaxy spins at millions miles per hour through the universe that is also moving.'
Yet 'space there is no "gravity".
'
Yet "planets" 'orbit the sun' .And the star system we experience magically stays the same with the same cycles while all of this dispersing movement is happening from a random explosion out of nothing.
What keeps the vacuum separated from earth and where is the curve?
carolina cuchacovich By the way a real truth seeker doesn't subscribe to a "dome" if the know earth is flat.We are not allowed to privately explore Antarctica for a reason
If the Earth is flat, what's on the bottom/underneath? And how thick is it? And where are the edges?

My sister believes the earth is flat. God!!! How was I born into this family?? Or should I ask WHY???
Shawn Ravenfire But we cant go becase the antartic treaty
I would immediately make it my life's mission to go beyond the edge if I thought it was flat. Further more, I'd stop everything I was doing and just be in a constant state of wide-eyed astonishment. I'd probably need therapy due to the fact that every tiny detail of life was wrong and nothing makes sense any more.
Yet these fuckin high school drop out idiots just carry on as normal, texting, taking planes and getting into keyboard wars. Fuck our species.
This may not amount to anything, but if you travel to the Baltic countries or especially the Scandinavian countries, you'll see that the Sun never really sets or that it sets for only a few hours. Now travel to, I don't know, O'ahu, Hawaii, and you'll clearly see that the sun sets in contrast to the aforementioned countries. For clarity, I'm not talking about a time difference question like, "If it's 10pm in Hawaii, then what time is it in Estonia?" Because that would only further prove that the earth isn't flat, but I digress. If I'm correct in my assertions, Flat Earth Theory cannot disprove the phenomenon that I've explained.
You are exactly right, but here is a better question to ask them, "What is the flat earth model?". Asks everything you just asked, and more.
Oh no, bill nye nearly lost brain cells trying to process and explain
Shut the fuck up 😂😂😂

I can't see mountains clearly 200kms away...just the blurry outline...even with a telescope.
You can't see the end of the mississippi river because it is not in a straight line.....it winds from side to side.
If he is the mouth of science....we are fucked.
This is pretty easy to test if you live in an area with lots of mountains.
I can see the mountains close clearly. Then the mountains behind are blurry. Then the mountains behind I can see a brief outline But still they are full height.
The mountains behind that I can't see at all as there is a fog that covers them.....except a few days a year when it is totally clear.
Just test it for yourself....there is no way you could see thousands of miles even if the earth was flat.

The Egyptians figured it out before then. They just needed a stick and pyramid. Compared the shadows did some maths, didn't just figure out the earth was round but came pretty damned close to calculating the size too.
oh yeah i saw that on the history channel once
This was also a Greek guy, Eratosthenes... he calculated the radius of the earth almost precisely...
He just did it in Egypt...
Around 250 BCE
tell me something, why does the sun go under the horizon? Like if it were going away very far would it not grow smaller to the point of it disspearing? how would the sun rise up to the point of it being half visible and half invisible by the horizon? If the idea that the setting sun is a result of it moving away and you not being able to see past a far distance, then why is it removed in parts rather than the whole thing growing smaller to the point of not seeing it.
I don’t worry about the flat earthers. I worry about the politicians trying to legislate pi to be 3.00 for the sake of simplicity. It just shows how simple the minds of our politicians are. But the trend of non science does have me worried. Let’s instruct our children the value of critical thinking.
Critical thinking is why FE is valued.
Poor Bill having to answer this bullshit...
Jason Gablaski poor you believing his lies and not researching shit..
After some minor research it would appear that the Earth is actually an oblate spheroid (In stupid that is a not perfect sphere). There is overwhelming evidence that the Earth is spherical, every field of science agrees.
I'm not justifying it on scientists. The simple fact gravity exists in the way it does proves the Earth cannot be flat. Before you say something along the line of "gravity isn't real" I actually tested multiple times my formulas for ballistics and came out with predictable results.
I'm not justifying it with anyone, Science is not biased towards anyone person. If you can prove science got something wrong, they will be more than happy to correct themsleves. That's the entire phylosophy of science. Until PROVEN otherwise, the Earth is an oblate spheroid simple isn't it.
And we figured out it was this shape using EVIDENCE to begin with, nothing came out of any ass, this is not religion we are talking about, everysingle equation can and does predict outcomes, which would be impossible if it was not true.
Why don't you get a basic knowledge of physics and realize a flat Earth is outright impossible when we consider our current understanding of gravity and matter.
gwanael34 evidence ≠ scientists just telling you things. If you think you are so smart on the matter, share with me some of the tests that you have done to prove that gravity comes at all angles, because I doubt you can, with the limited assets we have to test that.
It's not your understanding, it's what the scientists told you, that doesn't make our your evidence.
Simply what is more dense than the material around it will sink, and what is less dense than the environment around it will float
(There's a reason why gravity is still called a theory)
First a theory in science is way more than you think it is, look up what a scientific theory is, it's ENTIRELY based on fact and evidence.
The entire concept of ballistics (which i cannot show in youtube comments) falls appart if you remove gravity, but we know how ballistics work and I tested it with 9mm guns. By using these : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajectory_of_a_projectile , you can precicely calculate how a projectile would react.
"A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed,"
repeatedly tested and confirmed,"
repeatedly tested and confirmed,"
repeatedly tested and confirmed,"
repeatedly tested and confirmed,"
repeatedly tested and confirmed,"
repeatedly tested and confirmed,"
Yes it's a theory, THAT MEANS IT'S RIGHT YOU MORON
The scientific community would be more than happy to be corrected, that's the entire goal of the scientific method. If you can actually prove what you say is true, then go get yourself a Nobel price....
When Bill sighed and said "Oh my" he realized he was explaining this shit to the same millennials that grew up watching him. 😤😣😌😂😂
That might explain a lot! Fuck Bill Nye the government guy!
I got into a similar discussion with a flat earth believer. And the argument I used was the use of time zones. Namely why in New York it's brighter in the day than it is in Los Angeles. And he actually said this, "because the sun is the light of God and it is perfect." It was a moment where I wanted to facepalm but I said, "Sorry, that's not a good enough answer."
That does sort of sum up why people believe in the flat earth theory in the first place, though...
BardicLiving no it doesn't. Literally ZERO flat earthers believe that. Research it further and you will get the answer
Quite. The flat earther that I was speaking to about this basically did the same thing.
Muzikgod you have done research? Yeah, I bet. Troll. All you do is repeat questions I have answered millions of times. Ridiculous.

Star chart in alaska
then star chart in Australia . You cant see all the same stars in both
there is a good answer to this question that does not contradict a flat earth with a firmament. See if you can figure it out

Can't we reserve a trip to space for 1 person-the head of the flat Earth society? His reaction would be recorded when he sees the truth with his own eyes. But I imagine members of his group would say he became corrupt or he would say they made the windows CGI displays.
"Trip to space" is a trip to a orbit that is not very far from the Earth. Not far enough to see it as a marble. A trip to the moon would cost a lot more to organize.
Udrakan Morturim
Udrakan Morturim yeah.... Okay. Not is the globe model not true, but that would not be possible, because no spacecraft can pass above 1000 km from the surface due to the Van Allen Belt. Which effectively makes the moon landing and mars rover pictures fake. Where did they come from? NASA. Where do all our spherical earth pictures come from? NASA. Why should we trust them if they're gonna lie to us straight to our faces like that?
Man, I am amateur astronom and I can see all 6 Apollo landing sites with my telescope and on some nights you can see international space station with naked eye. Maybe NASA installed CGI display in my telescope or indoctrinated me with chemtrails and mind control, but I believe what I see. I am not a "I saw a youtube video" scientist.
Udrakan Morturim I didn't say watch a UA-cam video, idiot. I said do some fucking research on the Van Allen Belt. You physically cannot take people above 1,000 km due to it and it's charged particles. NASA said it themselves. It's the very reason why they no longer send people to the moon! I'm a "i do my research" scientist not a "i saw it so it's automatically true" scientist like you

In 1519, Ferdinand Magellan led an expedition of three ships west across the Atlantic from Spain. He jogged south and located the Straits of Magellan, then sailed west across the Pacific another 7,000 miles before reaching land. Continuing west, he reached the Philippines, where a slave named Enrique overheard indigenous peoples speaking his native language. Enrique was the first person to circumnavigate the earth. Magellan was killed in a battle with indigenous people on another island in the Philippines, but what was left of his crew continued on, sailing west and west and west until they cleared the southern tip of Africa, then north to Spain. What the Greeks had realized, Magellan's expedition proved. Proved. After sailing west for nearly three years, they returned to their starting point. Proved.
When your argument is just "guys, c'mon [sigh]"... lol
There's a limit to what you can explain to truly stupid people. Anyone who's done any kind of teaching knows that.
Flat Earthers are like puppies that just can't learn not to piss in the house.
I was a teacher a few years ago - I once had to explain to a senior in high school that people in Australia aren't hanging on to the Earth because they're going to fall off... She thought gravity just went straight down, not inward.

I ment on the north of though.
The fact that the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west, except in the poles where it never rises at all in the winter and never sets in the summer, is observable proof that Earth is not flat. Only a tilted sphere can explain this observable pattern the sun makes in the sky.

@@Im__34 I wanted to share one thing that helped convince me that the Bible is not just a book of human wisdom.
When the Bible comments on scientific matters, it is in agreement with modern science.
For example, when the earliest portions of the Bible were written, most people believed the earth was flat and rested on something. But here are two examples of the accuracy of the Bible on scientific matters:
Job 26:7 "He [God] stretches out the northern sky over empty space, Suspending the earth upon nothing"
Isaiah 40:22 "There is One who dwells above the circle of the earth"
These verses were written about 1400 BCE and 700 BCE respectively.
These examples have strengthened my trust in the Bible as the Word of God. 😊

Bill forgot to mention that at the poles the night-sky moves totally paralel to the horizon, whereas at the equator it moves perpdendicular to it. THis is totally unexplainable on a flat disk, but very logical on a sphere.
Furthermore a falt disk should have a circumfirence, and we have yet to find one.
Oh, they have tried to explain that. The real kick to the nuts is that there are two pole stars: Polaris in the northern hemisphere and Sigma Octanis in the southern hemisphere. Not only that: the star trails rotate to opposite directions.
Then we have gravity....
Polaris they can answer on their disk.
Sigma Octanis they cannot. And they refuse to see it. It is actually a blatant debunk to their world view.
3 people sit at the southern tips of 3 continents: South America, Africa, and Australia. Facing directly south and looking at the sky, they all see Octanis.
On a round earth, this is because they are all looking towards the bottom of the globe. On a flat earth, this would somehow involve them all looking in differing directions with no intersecting point of view yet see the exact same object.
You point it out to them, they freeze. They never respond to that one. Whatever post they're replying to that includes that point, they skirt around it by not mentioning it.
It kills me there are people that are so damn stupid that they think the Earth is flat. I sincerely hope most of these people are just trolls, that would at least give me some hope for humanity.

Simple questions that flat earthers cannot answer. 1. How is it that the earth makes a spherical shadow on the moon on a lunar eclipse?
2. How is it that you cannot see Mt Everest from a telescope from anywhere on earth?
3. How is it that we cannot see Japan or even Hawaii form any telescope from California?
4. How is it that some places are light/dark for 24+ hours to months?
5. How is it that the sun sets below the horizon every night?
6. Why does a hurricane deflect to the right on the north side of the
equator and on the south side of the equator they deflect to the left?
7. The stars at night change depending on where you are at. Orion is
upside down if you are in Australia, how can that be possible on a flat
earth?
8. If the earth is flat then why do we have different season at the same
time at different locations on the earth?
9. If the earth is flat then what about different time zones. It is always day time somewhere and night time somewhere else.
10. What about the horizon? If the earth were flat there would not be a
horizon beyond on which things could disappear. Take Lake Michigan, you
would be able to see all of Chicago as well as the Rocky Mountains if the earth were flat.
Ginger Willis yes!
Nice
It's no use. They will always deny it. I've given up trying to prove it to these people.
they would say:
1: moon doesn't exist. just a projection on the sky dome
2 and 3: atmospheric disturbances
4: god (or the illuminati) made it so
5: the sun isn't real. just a lamp moving on the sky dome
6: (see 4)
7: stars aren't real (see 1 and 5)
8 and 9: the lamp moves in different ways
10: it's too far away. also atmospheric disturbances

Simple, buy the flat earthers a cross-globe plane ticket beginning in 1 city and always heading in one direction East or West until they've arrived at the city they started at. Refuel at airports along the way & have them bring along a compass so they know they're headed in the same direction. I honestly can't believe questions like this are being debated in the 21st century.
Nobody is willing to spend the money. The fools would just claim the pilot was in on it, anyway.
mikeyman2010 please look into the Jesuits. In God and Jesus name I pray
But You know what they’ll probably say they’ll probably say that NASA or the government has portals on either end of the world so that it will take us from one side to the other to make us think that the world is round
The General Lee they will say there is a compass conspiracy whereby the compass always points in a direction that favors a Globe. NASA henchmen come and deal with anyone trying to make their own compass.

Unfortunately the flat earth thing has responses to all those points, each stupider and more baffling than the last.
At the end he is alluding to sextants and I have yet to see a FE explanation for sextants. If the Earth was flat and heavenly objects like Polaris were close then sextants would not show latitudes changing by equal amounts for equal distances traveled, whereas if those objects are a long way away and the Earth is nearly spherical that is exactly what you would expect.
I think the fact that you just said "stupider" made me not want to be a ball earther any more.
"Stupider" and "stupidest" is correct usage. Check your facts, son.
Copydot "Crazier" would have been better in the context perhaps? Certainly citing the use of the word "Stupider" is the *craziest* argument I've ever heard for rejecting a spherical Earth. But then only people already convinced of a FE say "ball" so I doubt it actually had that effect.
lol I have a friend that I always have flat earth debates with (I pretend to be a flat-earther). The point is to prove that if you have a concept of God, anything can be true.
Flat earthers should be forced to enlist in the navy.

Calvin Lee Judging by the way he chuckles throughout the video, I get the impression that you’re already too late.
Another irrefutable proof for the Earth being round is the phenomenon of night. If the Earth truly were a flat disk and not spheroid, and the Sun circled over the disk Earth around the North Pole (as the the Flat Earth model posits), then areas of the Earth furthest away from the Sun's orientation to it would never experience the degree of darkness that we observe when it is nighttime -- such areas would experience a diffused amount of sunlight but never the darkness we see at night as the Sun would still be visible but appear further away than during daylight hours.
Proof that.

Von Neely it’s easy! Bunch of money
So few things...(Long comment warning)
- Why we cant fall from the edge of the earth if i go to east for example? Do you just suddenly emerge from the west side of the flat disk?
If they try to debate this like "Oh well the earth has a small ramp on its side so a ship passing that they would arrive under the earth" Well first its not flat at that point and 2nd wouldnt we see the ship disappear beyond the horizon way easier while observing ON the ramp?
- Just let a flat earther on the next rocket trip to ISS and let them see the earth by themselves. Wouldnt that be the easiest research "by yourself"? oh wait that would be dangerous because the G forces of the rocket would be too much for unfit bodies because of the speed and well...force obviously unlike actual astronauts who train long before the rocket trip
- What's with the obsession of trying to proove a flat earth anyways? No common person needs to care about that. Is it the obsession of trying to be smarter than scientists? Trying to proove to be something?
I never understood that.
- And lastly on the side of fact checking i'd rather take advice from actual scientists with degrees who dedicate their lives to study than from a common dude with no experience who just uses social media for research for few hours trying to proove nothing.
I'll drop the mic.
Their arguments end at .. BUT,but,but, mu bible, eh goddidit, magic etc....
Most are relitards that claim the bible is 100% scientific true.
you see the reason disproving the flat earth theory is that stupidity is a virus more deadly than ever before, right now it's that the Earth is flat or vaccines are dangerous (which is a very dangerous statement because you don't only risk yourself but people around you if you don't get a specific vaccine for a specific disease) but later on it can become something much more dangerous, for example, what a random conspiracy theorists start believing bloodletting actually works and no amount of scientific evidence can convince him otherwise, he started to spread this belief to other and slowly people start dying because of this. It's far better to eradicate any form of stupidity just so there is a minimal chance that anything bad can happen.
I am totally convinced now that we do not live on a spinning ball
Would we trust a doctor to operate on a heart if we knew he/she has never done the procedure or even studied the material for that matter? Why would we believe someone claiming the earth is flat if they have never been in space or even studied the natural laws that govern the functions of our planet? We defer to the professionals in lieu of actual self experience because it's the most responsible and mature approach to a problem. All this aside however, common sense and our own eyes can tell us the Earth is not flat. If you stand atop a mountain and stare across its valleys you can see for miles and miles at the right angle. After a certain distance away from the shore however the land disappears from view. This wouldn't happen if the Earth was flat. You would be able to hundreds and hundreds of miles away before details would begin to be unrecognizable. This harebrained notion is a slap in the face to real accomplishment and real professional's hard work and self sacrifice. Flat Earth theory is a grasp at self importance in the absence of something more meaningful in peoples lives. Some people just need something to hold onto in this turbulent and often unrewarding world. Earth science and ecology should be a priority subject in schools. Sadly nobody finds science very interesting for some reason. We'd rather hypothesize about it than actually learn it. To all you science lovers out there props! Love you!
Why would you believe a group that takes 19.5 billion funding, plus other donations, and not independent scientists, who receive no funding. Would you lie to keep 19.5 billion coming in a per year. Why Don't they just take some flat earth scientists up to the ISS? The only people so far are all from space agencies. Gee, Go figure. It would be so easy to prove. Why Don't They? Nothing to hide, right? And , no you wouldn't be able to see hundreds of miles. Ever look at the visibility while watching the weather channel?. Pilots get the visibility reports before they fly. Don't fly VFR if the visibility is less than two miles. Plus our eye sight is limited. Sorry, we can't see an infinite distance. Just watch a flock of geese flying away from you. After a while you can't see them. No, tey didn't disappear over the curve. LOL. There is the great Salt flats where the air is so dry you can see much, much farther, and it's flat. but there are scientists that do experiments, BTW, how does the horizon stay at eye level 300,0 10,000, 30,000, 40,000, 45,000, etc. and the horizon remains at eye level. A Curve would fall below eye level. Learning to fly I was told to keep the wings level and horizon at eye level. No, you don't adjust every so often for curvature. You trim, say at 5000 ft, and you stay there. People will lie to keep their job. Here's a question....The Earth spins a full spin every 23.56 hours. At summer solstice it is 12 noon. Remember, the tilt never changes. It always points the same direction, has a slight wobble according to Them, so when we reach winter solstice 180 degrees on the other side of the sun, how can it be 12 noon? We're on the night side, or do we delete 11.78 hours somewhere during the year? Will you be able to wrap your brain around what I just asked or are you going to come back with I'm a flatard idiot or something? Oh, the independent scientists........... ua-cam.com/video/NE3WpJ3n80c/v-deo.html .......And if you believe NASA's Earth pictures are real photos, then you believe Star Wars is real. CGI can make anything look real, even CNN..... As far as common sense, we're told we are spinning approximately 1000 mph being dragged with the sun at 66,600 mph, being dragged around with the galaxy at 500, 000 mp second and the Polaris star somehow remains above the North Pole and all the stars are still the same making (perfect) circles around us after 1000s of years. Amazing. Neil Degrasse says the Earth is pare shaped, but all their pictures are perfect balls, and they're all different with copy and paste clouds. And the real night live stream views have no clouds. Hmm, again, Amazing. Do you really think the people who control the world tell the masses nothing but the truth? History shows where we stand in relation to those that have control, and they want to keep it that way. Theirs is a club and we're not in it like George Carlin said. And what would it do to the BIG BANG Theory? WOW. Can you imagine the unraveling that would cause? And no more 19.5 in funds any more, plus other donations.
I'm going to be very kind to you since you clearly did a lot of research here and I'm not interested in the debate around this topic any further. Believe what you want, but denying science is going to be the downfall of this planet. I try very hard to keep a level head and use tact in all my exchanges with people of differing views. It was fun for a minute, but I'm tired of arguing with people that wish to remain ignorant. Believe what you want to, but please take an earth science class if you haven't yet. If you've taken one already, take it against and pay better attention. I'm going to do something environmental now. Peace.
Tizayi Zirereza Really? Do you know what flat Earth would do to BIG BANG? A ball Earth isn't like Gravity. HUH???? Oh, by the way . Wow, can tell you never flew. You know what's really great about altitude. the air gets thinner and clearer. Now if you only understood that things on the ground seem to get smaller as they get farther away and then finally reach a vanishing point and even in the air. So, you're saying a ball with a downward curvature would rise to eye level, but a flat straight Earth horizon wouldn't? Are you that DENSE? A curvature doesn't rise, it falls or curves down. It's a Currrrve. DUH! And where is your proof the Earth is pear shaped NASA Parrot. I'm done here. Go take some flying lessons. Now when the instructor tells you wings level, nose on the horizon, tell him you'll have to adjust for curvature even though the horizon is at eye level. Hahahahahah!. LOL!

because of NASA and the world governments have troupes, ships and planes preventing you from getting there! (or something like that...)
If the earth is spherical and spinning on an axis, and NASA has hundreds of of satellites watching it then why isn't there one single video which shows the earth spinning or even any photos of the earth itself. All the spherical images of the earth you see are composites (apart from only one from 1972 which NASA claims is genuine) and all the video is CGI. If the earth is spherical why does Neil Degrasshole Tyson say the earth is actually "oblate" and pear-shaped? Like this shill just echoed. Yet all the images of the earth show it as a perfect sphere?

Come on Bill Nye, show respect even if they don't agree with you.
"I'm not a flatearther, but...". I read that a lot. And everyone who writes it is a flatearther, albeit an embarrassed one.
@@viniciuss4529 why aren't people allowed to question the shape of the earth without being labeled 'flat earther'?
@@krissykatportal I am sorry, I didn't mean to offend them or you. Since you question the sphere, what shape do you think Earth is? Are you a tubeearther? A triangleearther? A cubeearther?
Its ok to just be an earther
The level of underlying fear in all the paid-for, orchestrated comments on here is extremely TELLING, wouldn't say? How SAD for you to have been so deceived by a man with a mechanical engineering degree..."It is FAAAAR easier to Fool someone than to convince them that they've BEEN FOOLED." Truth, like WATER, a-l-w-a-y-s WINS! Watch, wait and learn.
I am a bit surprised that Bill Nye would even bother with the question. Look out for any body of water that is greater than 14 miles (about 25 km) wide and try to see the other side. Use a telescope. Lake Michigan is a perfect example. Stand on the shore at Kenosha, Wisconsin and look east. If you can't see Michigan, the Earth is curved. Heck, Professor Bulfinch taught me that when I was 8 years old. ;-P
Caelroigh Blunt you should be able to see buildings how much will the Earth curve in 25 miles?.... Not much right?
N Kab If the buildings are tall enough. But there aren't many tall buildings in Michigan 'til you get to Detroit, a couple hundred miles away.
I've never been to Michigan are the buildings taller than 17 feet? My house is taller than that....
N Kab Maybe, don't know. I do know that on the ocean a ship 15 miles away is invisible to 20x spotting scopes.
It should be visible from 15 miles away the Earth would curve 10 feet....so unless the ship is less than 10 feet you should be able to see it (you must be lying down on the beach to do this I believe standing up would change the measurement)
The easiest test to prove the earth is round. Look at the clouds in the sky during the daytime. The clouds directly above you look really high up. However, if you look as far as you can out towards the horizon or the tree line the clouds look as though they're at the same height as the trees. If the earth was flat the clouds would look really high up no matter how far out you look.
Actually the clouds debunk the flat earth. Research cloud sun rays! Then research the distance of the sun from earth! If you still dont understand then you’ve been successfully indoctrinated.
@@chrisallen7399
Firstly, I dont think you understand what debunk means.
Secondly, crepuscular sun rays look like that due to a visual illusion, similarily to how railway lines look like they have a point where the come together.
Thirdly, I don't know how this is supposed to disprove what he's saying about clouds appearing at eye level in the distance.

Ancient Greeks didn't know the size of the earth? Eratosthenes figured out the circumference of the earth with an error of only about 10%, realistically the best anyone could do with only ancient tools for measuring (stepping off distance). He was more right than Christopher Columbus was 1700 years later, who chose to believe cartographers more than Eratosthenes' math.
I think the point is that one person figuring it out doesnt mean that it is "known" . So the ancient greeks not knowing the size of the earth is both true and false.
codysb05
I don't think "known" should mean "generally accepted as fact". In that case, it is still not known to this day that the earth is round :P
For example, would you say the ancient Egyptians knew how to build pyramids? The majority of them did not, but It was obviously known to them because they did it, so a few engineers had the knowledge.
You are just starting shit for honestly no reason. Bill sits there in a chair pulling the stuff out his head while you google something to find any small fault, then use that to harass him. You must live a sad life. Go find some pleasure friend and chill out.
brandan matthews
Funny thing is I didn't google anything, so you probably should before you believe me because I may have gotten specifics incorrect. I have heard the story of Eratosthenes many times and it is pretty popular in that it comes up often when talking about the size and shape of the Earth. Which is why I commented, because as soon as Bill said Ancient Greeks I was surprised he went with the eclipse example and not Eratosthenes.
When Bill says "they didn't know the size of the Earth- to the degree of certainty..." he is obviously aware of the story of Eratosthenes or he wouldn't have added the degree of certainty part. My argument is that their knowledge of the size of the Earth was extremely accurate for what the had to work with, more accurate than anyone else came close to for over 2000 years. So if I were Bill in addition to the eclipse example I would say something like "Not only did they know it was round, but they accurately calculated the size of it too!"
I'm not trying to "start shit" or even attacking Bill, just trying to spread some knowledge. Not sure why you see the need to vehemently defend Bill, be careful of blindly defending your heroes and those you idolize. To paraphrase a famous quote "As your instructor point you towards the goal, do not become fixated on the finger or you will lose focus of the goal." Bill is just a finger, the knowledge is the important part.
You have yet to say anything worth a damn.
dont bother responding again, I wont read it. Enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend
Religion is an instinct, they say, and people who can rise above instincts are more intelligent than those who rely on them.
"Intelligence - in rationally solving problems - can be understood as involving overcoming instinct and being intellectually curious and thus open to non-instinctive possibilities," study lead author Edward Dutton, a research fellow at the Ulster Institute for Social Research in the United Kingdom

The lunar eclipse shadow example doesn't prove the earth is a sphere, a flat circle can also produce a curved shadow on the moon.
It wouldn't be able to produce a lunar eclipse
Nope it wouldn't.
Poor Bill. His expression through this whole video just screams "I'm an actual, qualified scientist. Why the fuck am I explaining that the Earth is round to adults in 2016?"
Technically he's an engineer, but I get your point, haha
@@clubbedsandwich1128 They are also scientist but they just dont do research, and use science to make new idea of technologies.
Bill's a genius! OMG I love how flat earther's still don't get BASIC SCIENCE! Like the circumference of the Earth is 8 inches per mile squared and yet the longest river on Earth, the Nile, only drops 1 foot over its entire length. How dumb are they to not understand the trigonometry of a ball??
