Response to Globebusters - The Earth Still Isn't Flat

  • Last week I posted a video about how we know the Earth is round, from the perspective of modern astronomy. The Flat Earth community did not like it one bit, and the channel "Globebusters" decided to talk for three hours on their livestream about how stupid my video is, and how stupid I am. I didn't really appreciate that, so I decided to make a video about their video to illustrate precisely how little they know about science, and to further reinforce how utterly absurd the Flat Earth "model" is, as well as some of the finer points about the conspiracy. Enjoy!

    Two flat earth engineers were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking at its top. A sphericist walked by and asked what they were doing.
    "We're supposed to find the height of this flagpole," said a flat earther, "but we don't have a ladder."
    The sphericist took a wrench from a bag, loosened a couple of bolts, and laid the pole down on the ground.
    The sphericist took a tape measure from the bag, took a measurement and announced, "Twenty one feet, six inches," and walked away.
    One flat earther shook his head and laughed, "Typical sphericist ! We ask for the height and the sphericist gives us the length!"

      That's not the basis of religion at all. Ironically, you've taken the flat earther approach to understanding religion. "I don't have the information, therefore it must be this". Religion is based on proven community guidelines that have preserved successful culture for thousands of years. Also, just to be clear. There are literally hundreds of thousands of historic records of the existence of Jesus Christ. Was he God in the form of a human? Who knows, but everybody alive at the time certainly seemed to think so. Ask yourself this... What year is it? That should give you a little more perspective on the cultural importance of religion.

      Never mind the Nobel prize, the US military would fund Boeing to hire you with a full aircraft lab. You'd be swimming in money as well as praise. Generating an electromagnetic field is a lot simpler than generating lift with wings and jet engines. Even if the result performs worse than jet fighters, militaries need transport aircraft that are much easier to maintain, can have multiple engines for failsafe, and doesn't melt decks with Osprey jet exhaust. This is the kind of technological advantage the US seeks. The US military would kill, literally, to get such an engine built for them.

I can tell from this one video that Dave is an amateur just by the fact he made a 45 minute video in response to UA-cam trolls. I also caught him making a foolish mistake when he implied there is no absolute frame of reference or that all motion is relative (these are merely unprovable assumptions that were purported by Einstein and are neither necessary nor implied by empirical evidence).

      @extravagantpanda7962 5 днів тому

      Nope! It would get closer and closer to the speed of light but never actually reach it, after any amount of time. This is because of the way special relativity (which imposes the "light speed limit" in the first place) works. What you said only works if we ignore special relativity, which is sometimes fine to do when making approximations in the non-relativistic limit, but in this case we are very much working in the relativistic limit so ignoring special relativity will give wildly inaccurate results (such as a speed greater than lightspeed, as you have found). Don't get me wrong, the earth is definitely not a flat disk constantly accelerating in one direction at 1g, there are many flaws with this "model", but "the earth would eventually reach light speed" is not one of them.

      @@petergaskin1811 More specifically, magnetism requires a rapidly rotating sphere or oblate spheroid with a flowing liquid mantle around a solid iron core exciting electrons in order to generate and emit that magnetic field. Mars has a liquid iron/nickel core, and technically that core spins with the planet. That said, it has no liquid mantle and thus has no magnetic field. While the mantle of mars may be hot enough to be ductile or even flow, it doesn't flow with enough intensity to excite electrons in and near the liquid metal. Without this, it won't emit an electromagnetic field. This field would deflect solar radiation and protect the gaseous atmosphere. In the absence of a strong magnetic field, there is no protection for the gaseous atmosphere. Which is why it has very little atmosphere.

    One argument from flat earthers that I don’t understand (among many others) is how they say it’s in fathomable that the earth is traveling through the galaxy at thousands of miles per hour, yet they claim gravity comes from the earth accelerating upwards at 9.8 m/s^2. If this were really the case, then the earth would be traveling through space A LOT faster than a few thousand miles per hour. I guess they just don’t understand what accelerating at a constant rate does to velocity.

      @@rayzimmermin First of all, please consider using punctuation in your writing. Second, I am not entirely sure what you are trying to prove here. I don't think he misunderstood the experiment at all. To me, it seems like he was generalizing, giving the most straightforward answer possible so people could understand easily. As you said, almost everyone knows about air resistance. So obviously that would affect the experiment. But the baseline thing he was trying to explain is that you still gain the momentum, but he never said other forces cannot affect that momentum. He was generalizing. And also to be fair, it's not like he was actually giving them a detailed guide on what to do, because chances are, they would ignore it completely and choose to keep believing what they believe anyway.
      The model of a pickup truck is purely a visualization in which the environment is perfect, such as him adding that the truck needs to stay at the exact same speed the entire time. Of course other phenomenon happen, but it's not worth going through them if it isn't needed. Air resistance doesn't directly refute the overall point he was making.
      And as I was saying, I don't understand what 'side' you are taking? You are nitpicking at one little detail that isn't hard to explain. The majority of people don't see something that someone missed or didn't mention and immediately attribute that to the person not understanding the concept of said thing. It is much more likely that he knows about it, and he just didn't mention it for the purpose of simplicity.
      Hope that makes sense? Sorry if I seemed rude throughout this explanation.

    It's been 4 years but I think one thing that really says a lot is that they self-reference quite often. Generally self-referencing is pretty bad because you're effectively assuming everything you say is accurate and that your experiments were also accurate, while using both to prove tangentially or entirely unrelated hypothesis. And this is different from continuing previous research, where you're either building on it or using it to test a theory about a directly related topic.
    TLDR they self reference and therefore lose credibility.

    One question I always have about these flat earth "here's how it could work if the sun moved THIS way" models is that they never explain WHY the sun moves that way, just that it HAS to if the Earth is flat. Nevermind everything else wrong with this model, I guess it all works because the sun just....DECIDES to act in a way that would simulate (or maybe imitate) a gravitational, heliocentric, spherical Earth model. And it does it so perfectly that we were mathematically able to predict it with such precision as to apparently incorrectly conclude that the Earth is not flat. When in reality, the sun and moon are tied to...I don't know...a giant invisible space ceiling fan that spins them around.

      Many moons ago, we're talking 20+ years ago when the modern internet was just entering it's infancy, I met a flat earther. He was actually quite engaging and lighthearted about the whole concept... it was almost a * wink wink * thing. He was having fun with it, not so much caring about hardcore science... more a "question everything" vibe crossed with a late 1960s hippie / new age bullshit mentality. He didn't seem to take it too seriously, but his whole mantra was don't take anything too seriously.. question everything and keep an open mind. Fast forward 20 years and the movement warped into what appears to be the perfect storm intersection of delusional people and grifters.

      Some are just trolls but some are genuine believers in this nonsense. This is obvious like with the flathearther, who built a rocket and died in a crash accident with that vehicle of his...but also recently due to the pandemic some famous flatearthers died due to covid because they denied medical science & help. When it comes to such madness I usually get aware why humanity fights senseless wars or why racism or antisemitism caused horrors and pogromes. Humans are just genuinely convinced to be always right and righteous to such a degree they even die senseless deaths or drag others into their own hubris & caused tragedies.

  • @dimtheblender2120

    I failed physics but wow, these people really make me feel a lot better about my own intelligence
    edit: After a little over a year I feel it's worth mentioning that this was during the pandemic. I suffered from a pretty bad depressive episode and lost a lot of motivation to do well in school, and this class was the one that affected me the most. Normally I really enjoy science, but a bad teacher can certainly ruin a potentially enjoyable subject and crush your hopes and dreams about anything remotely concerning it. The physics teacher I had wasn't a good person and his teaching style was very incompatible with mine. I wasn't on a 504 or IEP, but it wouldn't have mattered anyways because my friends who have accomodations for their learning disabilities/chronic health issues who had his class mentioned that he didn't give accomodations and believed them to be unfair to other students. Obviously you are LEGALLY REQUIRED to offer accomodations for students who are eligible for them. I'm not too sure what the hell he was thinking, nor how he had been teaching for a past decade whilst thinking of all of the other past students who needed accomodations but never got them.
    In fact, he was so unempathetic during remote learning that he kept his already strict standards for grading. Many other classes had tried to make their grading more lenient because people had been struggling during remote learning, but him? Oh hell no. He failed nearly a quarter-third of our graduating class, and while I get that physics is a difficult subject, if a disproportionate amount of kids are failing your class or are even trying to purposefully avoid doing your work knowing how it wouldn't matter, there is a reason for that.
    There are other reasons why I *mildly dislike* my freshman year physics teacher: like I said, he wasn't a good person and he openly complained about his middle son in front of class and often used his children as frames of reference to compare our work to his. For context, I live in Massachusetts and we are required to take MCAS, which is our version of standardized testing, and pass it in order to graduate. If you score in an advanced range in all of your subjects, then you are eligible for a John and Abigail Adams Scholarship which provides tuition for up to eight semesters for undergraduate education in a Massachusetts state school. He made it a point that his other children had gotten the scholarship, except for his middle son. On a surface level, this just seems like something that was mentioned in passing, but it revealed a lot about him to me. Normally you shouldn't use your children as frames of reference for comparing your students' work to them. This was also what I only witnessed during the times I bothered to pay attention in his class; people in other classes had talked about how he'd call his middle son a disappointment.
    I went on a bit of a tangent there, as this was supposed to be more as to why I got a less than ideal grade in freshman physics, but it's something I feel very strongly about.
    Of course, I can't deny that my depressive episode wasn't a factor as to why I didn't get a good grade, (My grade for the year was actually a D-,. but I failed one of the quarters) but before then I had been a straight-A honors student and I've worked very hard to try and get my GPA back up to what it was. I've been driven by a lot of spite to be more successful than my physics teacher, but I know I have to let it go eventually. Being a straight-A student gives students a bit of a complex, and I heavily dislike how the school system elicits such competition within students which leads to lots of stress. At that point, school isn't necessarily about learning anymore, it's just a reflection of how hard you can work and get a good grade as a result. Failing physics made me feel like shit about my intelligence for a long time, which is why I said "make me feel a lot better about my own intelligence" as if I didn't think of myself highly in that aspect.
    So, moral of the story, if you are a teacher and you have a student that needs accomodations, FOLLOW THEM. Also, if you're a student and you have a crappy teacher, speak up about it with other people. Don't beat yourself up about your intelligence, as there are many other things that you excel at apart from that one subject you failed freshman year of highschool. If I can get through it, so can you.
