Divergent wants to fill us all in about how the moon could have been formed on a flat Earth. As usual with these sort of things it's nonsense, but just how far fetched it got was amazing!

"The moon is a piece of reflective rock" - "ridiculous, impossible!"
"The moon is a highly focused electrotoroidalsuperfragilicious field reflecting off a superplasma quantum phenomenon" - "super amazing awesome simple!"
Gotta love flerfer logic.
Simple! LMAO
It is amazing how many things "Occam's Razor" fits real world situations
Yeah it's 7:14 ; "..Super Ultra Mega Impressive Simple.." in fact. 🤪
Electrotoroidalsuperfragilicious is the name of my band......and the title of my sex tape.
exacty, he obviously dosnt know what plasma is. and htf can plasma be a mirror? "it exists in a semi aetheral (?) toroidal field coz of energy from below" LOL. The verry definition of word salad. and how does "cosmic plasma" differ from normal plasma?
I love how the flat earthers use scientific words. It's adorable.
I like how they just mash them together. "Okay, okay, 'cosmic rays', yeah that's a good phrase. It needs something else though, something to add a little coolness... oh, wait, 'electromagnetic'! I havn't used that one at all in this paragraph. Yeah, yeah, that looks good!"
They sure like the big boy words don’t they.
Yes.... They pretend to be scientific and pass some credibility. As this can be done talking about flat earth.
Flat Libs.
And using satellites in orbit to send signals from his computer all around the globe .
I've been using this quote altogether too much lately but it applies:
"I don't know what to say, because after reading what he wrote, I don't know what he said."
-- Paul Heyman on The Ultimate Warrior
I like how he accepts this without question, but questions everything from the scientific community, most of whom have dedicated their entire lives to finding the answers.
...and who provide empirical data to support those answers.
"This objective, observable, falsifiable fact won't change my beliefs because I can't read!", or, in other words; "Reality can be whatever I want"
I wonder how they explain away the hundreds of kilos of lunar material brought back by the astronauts...
@@chrisantoniou4366,
By claiming the lunar materials were faked
@@chiensyang The thousands of scientists, from hundreds of institutions, in dozens of countries, who have examined them for over 50 years using the most sophisticated instruments on the planet disagree... 😉
"Calling Moon our natural satellite made of common elements found on Earth and anywhere else in our Solar System is crazy! In fact it is a focused electromagnetic energy light, coming from a semi aetherial toroid field"
Yep, that does make more sense, I admit.
I saw some other guy claiming the sun & moon were "electromagnetic projections from the underworld".
One of the many flat earth theories also assume that, yes, the sun and moon move in a straight line instead of circles (like in the classic flat earth), but that for that to happen, the sun and moon teleport from west (when it sets) to east (when it rises).
My thoughts exactly. A rock revolving around the earth is so complicated. Electromagnetic cosmic ray x-ray hologram is a lot more understandable.
He,he. Lol.
@Hey Girl I Like Your Kitchen Romania forever I'd rather be a "religitard" than an ignorant bigot like you. In fact, though I think ignorant flat earthers are pretty sad, I think I'd rather be one of them than an ignorant, hateful, emotionally stunted bigot like you.
The part about how light travels through the solid earth and then reflects back from the *see-through-dome* just slays me I cant even
You´re not openminded enough!! Rgr
"Investigate each topic", in this context (just like "Do your research,") actually means "Limit yourself to just the websites I've looked at, and don't bother investigating any further." It's a common trait with all conspiracy theorists, who don't do a moment's worth of actual research.
Yes, they always tell us to do our research without any idea how much research that we've actually done.
Facebook and twitter is all you need. Go forward and seek the truth. All the anti-vaxxers I know go there
Thing is, it usually works since most of their ideas are so absurd that no reputable scientific source has ever covered it, and the people "looking it up" get redirected to the FE's sources.
I'm going to reference youtube videos in my next research project. Lets see my manager question any of that research
They do, do their research, they just dismiss cause it doesn't confirm their biases. Hmmmm seems like there might be some kinda named fallical logallicy thingy for that.
These conspiracy theories should turn their energy to writing fiction, because some of the insane stuff they say makes me think: “oh, you’re insane, but it would sound kind of cool in a fantasy setting”
Yeah, but maybe it's Turtles all the way down, ....
They might create the next harry potter or LOTR 😆
yes! conspiracy theories are good inspirations lol
Genuinely good advice.
To be fair it is in a fantasy setting. Their minds.
Given the flat earth community say “show us the curve or it doesn’t exist” then how does this stand up to even their own scrutiny
we should just say show me the flatness or it doesn't exist.
Flerf ideas on the moon:
It’s plasma
The Grand Canyon was scooped out, melted down, filled with helium, floated
Mirror image of the earth
A projection
A disc
Concave
Physical but small
In the clouds
In side the firmament
On the other side of the firmament
Embedded in the firmament

MCToon, have you seen Don't Look Up yet?
Electromagnetic cosmic rays. Sounds like a Jamiroquai song.
You forgot MCToon... it was also a giant wolfs chew toy, and the craters are his bite marks when he jumped up and bit it.
Seriously...WYAAI claims it.
are you keeping track of all these "examples" of a flat earth?
I honestly am concerned about flat earthers...the fact that in our modern age, with all the technology and information at our disposal people can believe in such blatant nonsense is worrisome.
They're not well
They are always so angry at everyone else too. It seems like a really unhealthy way to live overall.
Can you imagine flat earther cultists designing and engineering precision equipment, instruments, devices and machines using their flat earth model cultist logic?? Yikes, there would be disasters everywhere.
They would not understand the need for accurate measurements, precision calculations, and equations to reach engineering consistency.
@@fogcat5 I'm a glober and I'm angry at everyone else all the time, too. Obviously, at the 0.0001% of the population that are flattards for being flattards. But also at the other 99.999% for a variety of other political reasons.
@Hey Girl I Like Your Kitchen Romania forever "They're a psyop harnessed to discredit anti-establishment movements."
How about proving you are TRULY anti-establishment by sticking up for (as I do) That Vegan Teacher and Vegan Gains Richard?
I support laws OUTLAWING people making babies and breeding and killing animals for meat. That point of view goes against the current status quo. Nothing wrong with "big pharma". Pharmaceutical workers have the right to do what they want at work.
Far too many HYPOCRITES and COWARDS in the anti-establishment: always standing up against some TINY HARMLESS minority like pharmaceutical workers, but saying NOTHING against the HUGE MAJORITY of people who COULD choose NOT to rape, torture, murder animals, who COULD choose to go vegan, but choose not to.
@@AlexZander688 : The Obiden Administration ???
Once again, a video titled along the lines of "stupidest flat-earther ever" is NOT clickbait. It's amazing how they can keep getting crazier and crazier.
They take a question like "how dumb you can be?" As a "hold on my beer" moment
Clickbait or no clickbait, it's not getting surpassed
Technically you can say that "open minded" for flat earthers means "there's empty (or open) space where your brain should be" for sane people
I usually say it "If your to open minded your brain will fall out."
They are the most closed minded people on the globe.
Mental tunnel vision still got one open end so, I guess they are right...
And they're not open minded. As soon as something sane crosses their path, their open mind snaps shut hard.
When they say open minded they mean that they have a fully stocked three line subway station for nonsense in between their airs. With service every 5 minutes!

It never fails to amaze me to what convoluting lengths these people will go to explain something science can explain with just basic observation. Thanks Dan for all your content. Have a good 2022.
FLERF theories remind me of how geocenterists back in the day. They kept making their models more and more complicated. Then the heliocentric model was proposed and those very complex calculations became easier. It’s amazing what a shift of perspective can do. The biggest difference between the flat earth and the geocentric universe is you can model everything with the geocentric model. It’s ridiculously difficult, but can be done.
A nitpicking point for you to consider. The scientific method produces explanations of phenomena, based on observation and measurement. Flat earth believers (and other of that ilk) produce justifications for a fundamental assertion believed to be true without question. Like this- The earth is flat. Now I give reasons to believe this assertion. The only important point is that these reasons justify belief in flat earth. Reasons may contradict each other and making sense is unimportant. Also, any evidence suggesting the earth is not flat is clearly wrong because it violates the central tenet of faith, the earth is flat.
In short, they are justifying a belief not explaining a phenomena.
What I never understand is how you can be unsatisfied by a simple, demonstrable concept like "ball reflects light" and THEN replace it with a metric ton of delusional, bizarre word salad of seemingly random concepts and/or phenomenon that you obviously don't have even the slightest understanding of, nevermind make any lick of sense.
It's like replacing rain coming from clouds by "oh, someone cut an onion too vigorously and it made invisible giants in the sky cry." Wtf.
Don't give them any ideas.
Earth is a ball, moon is a ball, sun is a light 93 million miles away explains literally every minute detail of the machinations of our planet, yet these buffoons call it ridiculous while trying to piece together explanations that are totally incompatible.
It has to do with a fraglie ego attacked by reality. When flerfs are taught that not only is the earth huge compared to us but also small and insignificant, compared to the galaxy as a whole, they can't deal with it. They can accept that they personally are 'not the most important person on earth' as long as earth is a "really important" part of the universe.
That double-whammie that not only are they insignificant, but the whole world is as well, just challenges their ability to find a reason to live. Instead of finding wonder at the fact that such a small, ordinary planet around an ordinary sun just happened to produce life that can contemplate its own existence, they feel that's not doing any justice to their religion or their self-worth or whatever it is that helps them get out of bed in the morning. For that reason, among others, they find they need to deny what our minds tell us and invent a more 'human-centric' view that makes us more important in the grand scheme of things. For some of them, it gives them purpose and for others it strokes their ego but make no mistake, it is an active choice to rely on their senses only (terribly inaccurate methods of measurement) and ignore all the tools we've made that enable us to test our greatest tool, the mind.
🤣
@@malachiXX I think you nailed it.
Ironic that the people that know the least about things are the quickest to vocalize that ignorance while telling others to "do your research".
The sheer confidence people like this have while spewing garbage is almost admirable.
"Almost".
funny part, that we always see the theoretic "science" and actually never a real experiment. The only one which does count is failed laser experiment (where guy failed with two side laser and pinhole in the movie). One side laser and photos doesn't count, because their results doesn't give anything. And especially, if they count themselves "science", where are formulas, laws, models etc.? Concept is never a truth and I can debunk flat earth with lamp and shit of paper.
@@maksymisaiev1828 🤔What do you mean "and actually never a real experiment. The only one which does count is..."
You are Forgetting the Great Laser Gyroxcope 15°per Hour Drift "Thanks BoB!" 🌏
Can you blame them? Every time they use science to prove their points they are proven wrong.
@@maksymisaiev1828 I don't think I've seen the failed laser experiment. Regardless, I agree with you. I haven't seen a proper experiment - hang on - yes I have. Bob's "15 degrees" and Nathan's (can't remember which Nathan) "Interesting" proof where they shone a light through two holes. I can't believe that after that, they couldn't accept that the earth is a globe and curved. Simply amazing, unless they are taking us for a ride! (ie. To Cheat or Trick).
Finally watched "Behind the Curve" and loved the comedy of it all. The part where they're in the NASA facility and exclaim loudly that everything is broken and the machine won't turn on, then walk away as the camera pans in on the "start" button they failed to push almost made me piss my pants laughing. Highly entertaining buffoons.
I go back to that one whenever I need a good laugh. My favourite part is how they'll have one of the flat earthers say something, then cut to a psychologist explaining why this delusion persists in a certain type of person.
I love the bit about how the Moon is a perfect reflection of a map of the Earth, but it doesn't look like it, because our maps of the World are wrong. And a camel looks just like a horse, because all the pictures of horses we have are wrong.
Exactly! Now what's so difficult about understanding that... 😂
Doesn't help that a) there's plenty of visible impact craters and b) their shapes and the shadows make it clear the moon is spherical... so, if it is a perfect reflection of the Earth...
@@Llortnerof Damn you! How DARE you combat flat Earthers with unassailable logic! 😄
Exactly! And if my grandmother had wheels she would be a bike 😀
no, no, horses don't exist at all.
It's obvious none of these people own or have ever used a telescope.
Or a brain for that matter.
They all share the same, single cosmic mind....errr, "brain". That doesn't leave many brain cells per flerfer. Or, they take in turns to use the "brain". Pity they don't know how to use it when they have their turn .
Q: in any dome model, explain why the air pressure drops as you get higher! The pressure vessel “dome” is needed to keep the air from escaping - but you can simply see however the pressure drops away to nothing, so why do we even need a dome…
I got 5 minutes into this and my brain just decided to leave my head through my ears. How can flat earthers look at this, claim to use the scientific method and still come up to this absurdity.
Congratulations, you now have an open mind!
@@GeeVanderplas Hahaha I see what you done there. Good double entendre
"absurdity" is the undestatement of the year...
I had that Homer Simpson moment when Ned Flanders is talking to him about cider and his brain says "you can stay, but I'm going" and you see his see through brain leave and then a second later he hits the deck! I've only just picked myself up again... do I risk it and watch more???
Wise-sounding word salad? That must mean this is undoubtably true!
I love how this nonsense doesn't explain anything beyond, we see object in sky because this. But, established science explains everything we observe with the moon without misrepresenting terms, and much less complicated.
Not just explains, but _predicts_ . That's the important bit. Creating a consistent explanation is one thing (and something the flerfers consistently fail at), but then generating successful predictions from the explanation is the acid test. Our mainstream model does that almost perfectly. Their plethora of incomplete models doesn't even come close.
sad they still can't grasp the truth is just how science strives to explain, after all science is just how we explain the things we have in our reality, to the best of our knowledge, if only they could learn a few things without failing so miserably with word salads as "proof" when just about every single bit was disproven, proven a myth, or factually inaccurate.
@Hey Girl I Like Your Kitchen Romania forever Yes, but from that, we get Rock and Roll.

No!! It is like a pie plate or frisbee
@@morninboy so fun to play with or delicious?
@@robcandy9273 Both. It is a universal paradox
@@morninboy mmm fundelicious
Considering the fact that you can look at the Moon through a decent pair of binoculars or telescope, and see the various craters, etc., to claim that the Moon is a reflection of the Earth takes a very "special" mind indeed.
I bought a cheap telescope. One of the easiest things to do was observe the terminator on the Moon. Looking at the shadows cast by mountains and the rims of craters proves that the Moon is not self-illuminating.
It seems that flerfs are allergic to telescopes :(
BTW; my cheap Chinese telescope had absolutely no electronics, all you NASA conspiritists can just feck off!
Or why not just photograph it with your P900?
Do you mean a "special needs" mind?
I wouldn't call it that
@@rysacroft if the moon is just reflecting light from the sun, how can you see it at night when the sun is turned off? Checkmate, globetard
The globe model, as well as being true, is relatively simple - why do they feel the need to make this nonsense up?
Their mommies and daddies told them they were ever so special, so they go out of their way to prove it.
They have a desperate need to hear themselves talking on the internet. I used to work as a psychiatric nurse. I had several patients that sounded about as cogent as this numb-nuts, but they weren't recording it for the world to witness.
If you can't accept reality, you've got no choice but to make up some bullshit fantasy.
The globe model tells them that they are insignificant specks in a terrifyingly large, cold and harsh universe.
Their magic world tells them that they are special and unique snowflakes, and the ultimate father figure loves them deeply.
If one doesn't care about the actual nature of reality, then it's an easy choice to make.
Also, a lot of the flerfer youtubers make money from this, so they need the stream of nonsense to keep the herd hooked.
A sense of self-importance based on the need to be "the smart person who knows the truth unlike other people"
So the fact that we can point a laser to a specific place on the moon where a mirror was placed,proving that we (human kind) have landed there, and calculate the distance....is just tossed out the window.
It's too quixotic for them to think it is real.
Is that the electromagnetic window or the one made from plasma?
The one main thing that flat earthers have taught me is that you dont have to understand ANYTHING to survive in modern society. Life is incredibly easy and its only difficult if you make it difficult for yourself.
Ehhh, I see what you're trying to say, but careful, there are genuine reasons people have hard lives.
More accurately, I'd say medical science has come so far, you basically don't need to make any effort to keep yourself alive whatsoever. Be an idiot, lick doorknobs, walk into traffic, you'll PROBABLY be ok, much to my chagrin.
Most of these flat earthers are young earth creationists and Christianity has been dominant in Western society for centuries, yet it hasn't impeded anyone's daily life. This isn't a modern phenomenon.

Flat Earthers have the potential to be prisoners of the own minds indefinitely because human imagination is limitless.

Happy new year everyone!!!
You can imagine him at first thinking this is a bit crazy and being unsure, then says a few scientific words and gets a bit of confidence and then snowballs into full on nonsense flowing
It baffles me how much energy and time somebody can put into trying to prove conspiracy theory, that is probably the easiest to dismiss out of all of them.
If he took the time to make all of this without even realising he hasn't got one shred of evidence for 90% of that nonsense.... This guy is crazy!!
'It's so simple, people complicating so much, it's super simple'
im convinced he's on psychedelics
The trouble is that there is a small cabal making a living from peddling FE and all of the simple means to determine the curve (which truly are simple) are made out to be lies by this cabal (can't have the sheep waking up and leaving _the truth,_ who will send the superchats and buy the merch?)
As far as I can tell, the amount of energy people put into these theories is proportionate to the fear they have about a world that they do not understand and need some sense of control. The fear is the result of a lack of security in childhood, scientific illiteracy, and cognitive deficit. Those factors combine to make them susceptible to ideas that make them feel like they understand the world (and thus feel in control), and even know something that others don't (filling the deficit of self-confidence).
As a society, we need to do better to provide better education, mental health, and child development. Otherwise, there will always be a segment of the population that suffers from this, causing others to suffer through the way they cast doubt on legitimate science leading to things like vaccine hesitancy, and vote in anti-intellectual ways that work against society's best interests.
Yeah, I feel sorry for the wasted energy and time, they didn’t deserve to be misused 👍
They almost never try to PROVE anything, and when they do they prove themselves wrong which they deny the results.
The obvious problem with the projection hypothesis is that as you moved around the map along a line of latitude, the Moon would rotate 360 degrees. We don't observe that.
But here you are relying on evidence and not on what sounds cool
also, that is funny that if moon is a source of light, we would never see any eclipse or again the fact, that we see always only one part of the moon, but we see that sun rotates.

One of the most common misconceptions that people have about the Moon, and which FE's of course also believe and exploit as much as possible, is that the Moon is absolutely fixed in its orientation with respect to the Earth, and thus it appears completely immobile and we always see _exactly_ the same half of its surface.
In reality, over the course of a month we can see a total of 59% of the Moon's surface. Of course we can only see 50% at one given time, but over the period of a month the Moon "wobbles" a bit, showing slightly different parts of it. This is because the Moon's orbit is not an exact circle, but an ellipse, which makes its visible half slightly different depending on which part of the orbit it is.
You can find time lapse animations of the Moon over a month, showing this slight "wobble", as if it were slightly rotating back and forth (from our perspective), clearly showing its spherical nature.
Absolutely correct. Not to mention the fact that there are any number of photographs of the far side of the Moon not normally seen from Earth...
This! 100% this. Thank you.
I had a feeling this was true but I didn't know exactly how much more we see of the moon over the month than the 50% people say we see. Thanks for letting me know!
Actually we see 59% of the moons surface because of libration which Dan mentioned. There are many articles explaining and showing libration in videos you can watch.
@@tubedude54 no no, Dan mentioned "liberation." Don't give him a free pass on that.
"Hang on! The cosmic rays which apparently are light, travel through the solid earth but then reflect back of the see through dome?? makes perfect sense." Nailed it.. Sciman Dan!
So 5G now is legit? 😆
Not rays but nuetronites, the almost weightless fast running superheavy particles we can only detect by ice-cubes from the Atlantic ice-wall. Atlantic ice-wall …. hmmmm ….🤔 That wasn’t correct, or was it?,
I think he was saying they're x-rays. Enormously powerful x-rays passing right through the earth, reflecting off the outer dome and flourescing when they hit the inner dome. Quite why the x-rays dont flouresce when they hit the inner dome on the way up is not explained,
neither is why the x-rays dont kill us (in fact it should be easy to detect them on their way up and get an image of this supposed EM source beneath us - just a photographic plate would do it),
neither is libration as Dan pointed out,
nor the phases of the moon for that matter,
nor the fact that the moon moves across the sky (rising in the east, setting in the west, just like the sun and the stars) not round it (unless you're near one of the poles),
nor eclipses (solar or lunar),
nor tides coordinated with the sun and moon,
nor the craters on the moon that we can see with our own eyes.

We've actually picked up radar reflections from the moon, therefore it's a solid object, therefore not a... plasma blob in the aether? That's what he's claiming? Also we've landed on it, looked at it from space, and put reflectors on it that bounce correctly aimed lasers back, etc etc, so all of this is quite clearly rubbish.
Also, I like how the 'mirrored reflections' of the continents look almost nothing like the continents they're supposed to be mirroring. But hey, if you say 'as above so below' enough times I'm sure you can ignore all of that. But hey, all maps are fake, which is why the huge numbers of ships out to sea get lost all the time... oh wait.
Edit: "I'm struggling to understand how this guy can get in front of a camera and explain how the moon was formed on a flat earth, with a straight face..."
Personally, I'm struggling to understand how this guy is capable of operating a camera. They can be pretty complex, and he's clearly not firing on all cylinders.
Auto mode on digital cameras has come a long way over the years.

He could be using a Wankel rotary engine.
Sometimes i really wonder if all the flatearthers don't actually believe in a flat earth, they just keep up the BS because they hope for a free ride into space because somebody wants to prove them wrong.

Best way to end the year, thank you Dan for another year of great content, may 2022 be even better.
In this context, in one sense I hope it's better for the entertainment value... but dear oh dear in another sense I wish the idea of a flat earth was last thought about centuries ago!! 😄😖
It's funny how they proved the country shape reflections on the moon based on a map that is not correct according to them.
So the shapes of the countries on the Mercator map are correct, but not the layout. Typical move of flat earthers to bend the truth to match their silly beliefs.
Whenever flat Earthers make claims like this, the source is always:
"Trust me, bro"
I've seen "It came to me in a dream" as cited as a source as well. Basically anything that isn't remotely scientific is acceptable.
Or like in this case... Sanskrit 😂
Or "do your own research"
@@casperthefriendlycookingapple Imagine reading a wikipedia page and the source is "do your own research"
I love how the Moon photo in his initial background showed tons of shadowed craters along the Moon’s edge. Light sources don’t create shadows on themselves. He also ignores Moon phases. Ain’t no debunk like a flat-Earther self-debunk.
Yes I noticed too that no mention was made of the phases of the moon! It was like even for his warped pseudo science that that was a subject area he was not going to touch.
Haha exactly. That would be like a light bulb having shadows on itself. Wouldnt make much sense would it?
@Michael Smith The moon phases are easy. See, the moon is transparent, because he said so. So, as the moon light projection rotates above us, the werewolves travel about and cause havoc. So, the moon projection is programmed to go out of phase and part of the moon disappears so that the lycan threat on the world can be held back by the secret flat earth community of super internet warriors.
Because science!
15 degrees of drift.... per hour... 🤣
You and I know that the face of the moon has regions of different brightness because it's approximately spherical with sloping craters reflecting solar light in different directions but we can't jump from there to accurately say that "light sources can't show different degrees of brightness across their surfaces".
Put the proper filters in place and you'll see brighter and darker regions on the sun. Even if the photosphere was only as bright as those darker spots it would still be bright enough to damage your retina. Just because your naked eye isn't able to see them because the overall light intensity is too great does not mean those darker spots do not exist. Since the sun is a plasma displaying heterogeneous brightness across its surface, it's reasonable to assume that other plasmas could also have regions of different brightnesses.
You can see the same visual effect with hot coals in the fire. Some coals, even if hot enough to be emitting in the visible spectrum, will be cooler than others and so will appear darker simply because they're emitting less visible light than their neighbour--but they're still visible light sources. Individual coals will have a range of temperatures across their surfaces and some regions may appear black, even if they're emitting in the visible spectrum. This could be because of something like your pupil constricting due to the amount of other light present or your retina has been bleached by recent exposure to light.
Nebulae do self-shadow. Its not just that different regions are denser and emit more energy per volume so appear brighter, sometimes denser-so-should-be-brighter regions are screened by other parts of the nebula. (We can tell they're there because they are visible at different wavelengths.)
The question I pose to flat earthers is a simple one. Show me a model of the flat earth, moon, and sun system that simply has all the phenomena we naturally observe. Lunar and solar eclipses, phases of the moon, the polar "day/night" cycles, the slight wobble of the moon, day/night cycles for the world changing for the seasons, and anything else we can just observe. The sad part is they will make up some needlessly complex explanation while also ignoring their own experiments even if (and usually when) they disprove themselves.
I remember trying to explain to my dad, when I was 9 or 10, why the moon always faced us. Thinking back, I believe I did a pretty good job, but he kept telling me that I was wrong. I remember being frustrated that he wouldn't accept what was obviously true.
Since then I've realized he was just messing with me, but it was a formative memory for my relationship with science and helped cement my understanding of the scientific method.
I know now that blindly accepting the seemingly obvious isn't the path to the truth, it's being able to test what is obvious and rule out what may be untrue. My father instilled in me not only a steadfast drive for the truth, but the wisdom to question what the truth even is.
Flerfers overflow with the kind of confidence that comes from too little, misplaced skepticism wrapped in blind faith. So every time I see a new take on what the moon is or what's 'beyond the ice wall', I see a person that genuinely believes they have THE TRUTH, that they are among a "chosen" few with the REAL answers, and I sigh. Any one of us could be that, it's just that most of us understand to question even the "truest" truths.
They were being skeptical and open-minded, they just stopped at a certain point and thought "Yeah, flat makes sense." Keep going and you'll find that "Wait a second, a lot of this doesn't add up!" could be right around the corner.
Sorry for the novel btw. Just want to praise Dan for highlighting this stuff and doing a great job. Even if only a few flerfers "see the light" I think it's a job well done. Entertainingly informative either way!
It's a great comment.
Happy new year btw !
This is a great story. Your dad sounds like a good guy by trying to make you question it. That's awesome.
That's good. But remember, crazy people don't wanna learn. In a way you dad taught how question things correctly and adjust when new information came around and you study and test it. Crazy people only stick with one idea and never change.
I told my kid, that was looking at old photos, that the colors was invented when I was a little boy. "I remembered so well the day the grass and the trees turned green! It was fantastic"! He went to school and argued with the teacher about this.😂😂 This gives him a good laugh today, 25 years later.
This is the comments section by the way. If you want to write a book or make your own video feel free to do so.
Will the flat earthers ever agree about anything? I mean, they have hundreds of theories about the earth, reality and beyond. I'd pay some money to see them fighting for the universally accepted, one true theory of the flat earth.
Not a chance, they are fully aware that any attempt to produce a model or a map, will instantly and easily be shot down in flames.
In a cage!🤣🤣
Not quite the same thing, but Ranty has been showing a little insight into some of the inter-flerf warfare. It's... difficult viewing, as one might imagine. The big names are not very nice people at all.
They don't have hundreds of *theories* ... they have hypotheses or ideas or myths ... please don't honor that b.s. by uplift it to "theories" 😉
Thanks 🙂
@@snygg1993 well, they don't have scientific theories. But, semantics.
Maybe I'm being too generous, but what can I do? It's new years eve.
Yep, this definitely makes more sense than saying the moon is a rock floating space. No further questions.
"The worst flat earth theory I've ever Heard" .... big claim there Dan, shall wait and see
After video- Yea.... that was pretty bad even by their standards.
I don't know, I subtracted some points because Neutrinos were never even mentioned, and no attempt was made to use Dark Matter to explain eclipses.
Looking at clouds and thinking that they are the surface features of an adjacent planet is quite a lot crazier.
@@tsopmocful1958 Dont think I have heard that one lol.
The word salad is strong with this one.
Just had a terrifying thought.
Flat earth has been somewhat popular for like 5 years now.
Somewhere there’s an isolated homeschooled kid being taught this very nonsense and being told _that_ is science.
Someone makes an entirely hypothetical idea about something that, even if it were true would be unprovable, and because it supports your worldview it must be true, it’s brilliant.
His “explanation” for how the moon exists is about 30x more complicated than the actual explanation, which is a giant rock floating around our ball earth. I genuinely believe that people like him just get off on being better than other people, that’s why they fight commonly accepted facts.
Everyone loves feeling superior to others, that's also why this channel exists as well.
As someone who used to believe this kind of "alternative science" nonsense, I can confirm that.
It's usually either paranoid delusions or a desperate need to feel special. Or the second one can lead to the first, I guess.
@@Pr3Va1L
No it's not. It exist entirely to entertain and educate and does so very well. The fact you feel better is entirely thanks to the flat earthers being dumber than yourself by about ten times or so and your own iq probably doesn't pass average room temperatur, so how could you not.
Going by your mistake in identifying the actual point of the channels existance, which in all honesty is incredibly hard to do, I would argue your iq isn't far off from the size of your shoe.
^^
That's exactly what it is.
How to be a flat earther, 'test' the globe model while blindly believing in your own flat model.
'Test' being 'prove'. Every time!
They never even agreed on one model.
@@casperthefriendlycookingapple 'interesting' 😂
As the flat earth model is invisible, blind belief in it is the only possible thing to do. There is no other way.
It is all so reasonable, like that we are created in the image of a spaceless, timeless, matterless, all-benevolent, unchanging (i.e. cannnot think, thinking involves the sequence idea (change), evaluation (change your idea), conclusion (change) and evtl. action) entity.
How that works - it does.

"There is this thing that makes no sense at all.... Bu it's because of electromagnetism"
Magic, but we can't say "magic" because it doesn't sound sciency enough.
And perspective.
My late grandmother used to say, "Don't have such an open mind your brain falls out."
I love how they want to believe in a flat earth so much that they are willing to make up their own version of space. They don't even see how hypocritical they are in their explanations.
I'm happy to listen to the argument. I will take your evidence and then make a judgement. To date, Flat Earth is fanciful nonsense.. and not at all coherent or supported by real observation.
@@TheMsLourdes The stupid fucktard just said that magical cosmic rays that are actually light come through the Earth. He's literally saying that it's impossible to ever be in a darkened room. There's being willing to listen to these fucktards, and then there's getting the authorities to lock them up where they can be studied to help actual human beings.
Amazing, and undetectable, "cosmic rays" reflecting off the equally undetectable "dome" and interacting with the (also undetectable) "aether" to produce a reflection of the surface of the "flat Earth." Gotcha, much simpler than the moon is a fucking rock.
I was about to say that it's more like a ball of dirt, but I checked Wikipedia to make sure I wasn't an idiot.
Apparently, the thing has a core like Earth's (magma with a solid iron core in the center). Even has a distinct crust and mantle.
So, like, it is kind of a rock. But to be fair, it's a pretty fancy rock.
I was really struggling there for a minute trying to see how the moon images lined up with the earths landmasses, and couldn't see how any of them looked similar. Then I kept watching and realized, "of course, on HIS map, all the continents look totally different and there's more of them, so it's easier to make them fit to whatever shape you damn well want!"
Totally unassailable logic there.

@@dustinclouse6888 you are thinking of the prison colony close to where i am but essentially you are wrong.
Glad you showed that short clip of lunar libration! That was the first thing I thought of, and the only thing you need to show this is nonsense. Mare Orientale - the "bullseye" mare - is on the edge of the moon and is only partially visible sometimes...when the Moon wobbles into the right orientation. A lot of times all you can see is part of the outermost ring of the bullseye (the ridge of a huge impact crater). Mare Smythii on the other side is completely visible at times but starts to disappear over the horizon when Mare Orientale appears. Completely impossible on a flat moon where we "always see the same face!"

To be fair, there is not much to understand. It’s gibberish.
Right
But in his defense, there is really nothing to understand here
The man who invented this nonsense himself did not understand what he was talking about
I guess the author didn’t really grasp the ideas himself.
The Moon just being a large lump of rock circling around the Earth is just too complicated to understand, but if the moon were actually an aetherial reaction caused by a moving coil magnetic source which, via an 8-stage process, projects cosmic rays through the solid earth which then pass through _one_ dome but are reflected off _another_ dome to make X-rays to produce a focused light spot flourescence, well, that's just so incredibly simple!
Ladies and gentlemen, Occam's Razor at work!
The logic is irrefutable! 😉

„Not crazy enough for flat earth“, said Dan.
After watching lots of these videos I can attest that he is absolutely right. NOTHING is too crazy for flat earthers
My wife, my son and I always look forward to your FE Fridays and as usual you do not disappoint. Happy New Years Dan!
He completely skipped how this would cause moon phases. Does the reflection just decide to only reflect some of the rays to cause phases of the moon?
It's all luminescent shrimp herded by angels.
This the flat earth equivalent of when sci-fi movies explain their technology with quantum physics or nanomachines
I think Professor Dave explained it best. FE'ers all have independent explanations for why phenomena happen and this isn't scientific. In other words, the FE model isn't holistic. They just go "I personally observe this, therefore flat earth".
It amazes me how some people can accept such ideas when the ones who come up with them offer no explanation as to how they concocted them.
What do you mean, he says that who ever came up with it all is a genius... isn't that good enough for you? You don't question random, anonymous genius! Ergo, Earth flat, and the moon is made from gamma rays... like the Hulk! Also, Bruce Banner is a genius, so thats just more evidence! It just keeps stacking up! This flat earth stuff is fun, and beats the hell out of paying attention in science class!
@@Clint52279 Just because you're too lazy to make the effort to understand something doesn't make it wrong. The people who built the heliocentric model explained how they did it in terms most people can understand and most of the pre-twentieth-century methods can be repeated by anyone who wants to take the effort. Can the same be said for the "moon is plasma" claim?
As for Marvel comics and the cinematic universe, most of that is fantastic with a little bit of science thrown in to make it relatable.

Right out of the box, he has a problem with libration. He then gets impressed with some guy’s use of polysyllabic refrigerator magnet poetry and calls him a genius. One telltale that shows he’s BSing his way through his presentation is how he flips through his continent shape comparison at lightning speed.
Yeah, if you pause on the continent shape thing it immediately becomes obvious how unlike the continents they are. There's a couple of blobs on the moon that are sort of, with a lot of allowance made, vaguely like bits of the actual continents... and that's as close as it gets. 'Africa' is particularly laughable.
One English phrase I love is 'word salad'. Divergent's video is a good example. A hefty serving of all kinds of tech sounding words but with no coherent meaning whatsoever.
Divergent "this guy has to be a genius or his source has to be a genius" How about "this guy has to be a genius or a stark raving mad lunatic." That sounds like a better choice
