  • Hello all and welcome to another episode of Flat Earth Friday where the eclipse saga with Mr Thrive and Survive comes to an epic conclusion.
    Will he finally understand what an eclipse is? Who knows...

      Kelly D ....exactly. And that umbra is made from the lamp being maybe 20x it’s diameter in distance from the shadow. The Moon is almost 120x it’s diameter from from its shadow. Move the lamp 6x further away, and it would be about the same umbra/penumbra ratio that we get from the Moon.
      A lot of people don’t realize that the shadow from the eclipse that went through the USA (and all other eclipses), was actually larger than the Moon, and reached from upper Canada down to South America. Of course that was the penumbra only, with the umbra being only 79 mi wide.
      What TAS doesn’t realize (among everything else), is that all shadows that we see, have an umbra and penumbra, just different proportions of each. In order to not have a penumbra, it would need to be a point light blocked by a point object.

      @@dross4207 Most of your comment is "spot on" (eclipse pun warning) however a point object can't actually cast any shadow because a point has no width or area. A point object would have to have a finite amount of matter in zero space so its density would be infinite and it would already be a black hole, making rather a mess of any attempt to cast a shadow with it. You are right that the light would need to be a point source, however, there is also no such thing because a light source requires matter/energy and this would again result in infinite energy density and a black hole.

Like easily on your own, sit down with a piece of paper, pencil, ruler, and protractor and check as much as you want. This video is nothing but geometry. All easily verified that way.
      If you doubt the physics equations derived from experimental data then that's a lack of trust, but at least I can understand doubting those because you were there, or cant commentor speculate. That's fine if you dont want to trust those, but this is all geometry and is foolproof. Plug the numbers for the globe model in and you'll find the geometry checks out.
      Or even make it easier. If you access to any CAD software, even basic stuff you can sketch this out. Just draw a circle at the base point with the diameter of the sun, draw another circle with earth's diameter at the average distance from the sun. Then draw a 3rd circle in the middle going back towards the sun the average distance of the moon from earth at the diameter of the moon. You now have 3 circles drawn. Now make a tangent line from the sun to the edge of the moon and extend it past to earth. Thats the hardest part tbh. Once you have the tangent lines drawn you get the same diagram the guy was ranting about being wrong, but it's so hard to see entirely because of the scale. That's why they make diagrams like this, so its visible and useful to people and not hard to see.

      @@mrkiky It's called horizon because it comes from ancient Greek. Horízō, “I mark out a boundary” and kúklos, “circle, sphere”. So translate it as "separating circle". Sea level is only called sea LEVEL in English. In Dutch it's called zee NIVEAU, where niveau replaces the word level. That word has nothing to do with flat. We use other words for that ( vlak, plat ) and there is no relation whatsoever between the word "niveau" and the word "plat". Another word for sea level in dutch is "zeespiegel", where "spiegel" means "mirror". I we use your logic that would mean the earth is a giant mirror, but only if you speak dutch.

      @@eugenezandberg8057 Well to be fair, it works the same in other languages. For example French and Dutch also have "niveau". In my language (Romanian) we have "nivel" which also has common roots (possibly even with "level" from old french "livel" or "nivel"). And it can be used the same as English "leveled" ("nivelat") which means flattened or just brought up to level. However, the word level is used in relation to flat things most of the time because local applications don't really take curvature into account since it's negligible. And if we're talking on a larger scale, the word "level" can be adapted to a sphere. It simply means how far away something is from the surface of the sphere along its radius. A LEVEL can be curved, it just isn't in most day to day applications.

      That's the problem with all of these people. Their minds can't comprehend vast sizes and distances. To them just a few miles (or kilometers) is an absolutely huge distance. The earth being 24000 miles around, the moon being 300000 miles away, the sun being 93million miles away are all numbers that are so big they don't mean anything to these guys. They simply can't understand it. The first step to figuring out the universe and how it works is realizing how truly small we are, and how human perceived sizes/distances are insignificant in measuring astronomical events.

    1. The total area of the shadow is constant.
    2. Increasing the hight wrt the ground makes the edge blurry.
    How can he not extrapolate from his own observation? If his ball would be further and further away from the ground, the total shadow might remain the same area, but the blurry edge would increase (exactly as the example videa you showed), leaving in a dark smaller part.

      it gets a little weird when you look at it in the light of Dr Feynman's work on the nature of light.

It does happens at MUCH smaller scales as well, and is the ultimate size limiter in photo-resistive etching process of computer chips...

      It goes well beyond that, imho. The problem is that flat earthers are narcissistic personalities that have failed at everything they tried to achieve in their lives. They know deep down they're special and everyone else are just losers, yet the fact is their best effort wasn't enough for them to achieve their goals. How does the narcissist accept that he is not special? That he might be just another loser in what he perceives as a herd of losers? Well, he doesn't. Taking in reality is more pain than he can take. The defeated narcissist is in such a wretched psychological state that he lacks the mental fortitude to take another loss, yet more than ever he needs a win that confirms his life-long held belief that he is special. That means he must continue to play the game knowing that losing is not an option... losing now is the extinction of his 'specialness', literal ego death, actual death for a narcissist. Thus, he will double down, triple down, and so forth on his delusions and distort reality until it fits into his perception that he is the uncontested winner. He will actively deny and project his own failures and other people's successes instead until there's no more cognitive dissonance. Now, these people do not appear in a void. These people are just a symptom of a societal sickness. We as a society need to stop telling everybody from cradle till coffin that they're special because some will believe it and no good can come of it...
