The Netflix documentary Around the Curve has my favorite example of flat earthers They came up with a surprisingly scientific experiment involving a gyroscope to measure the actual curvature of the earth. They laid out the explanation for what evidence would prove that the earth is round, and what would prove the earth is flat It proved the earth is round Their conclusion: magical sky beams interfered with their measurements

This video really didn’t touch on “why” people believe this. I’d like to forward my theory. Having engaged with many flat-earthers I have found some commonalities in all of those with whom I have spoken. All of them share a misunderstanding of core concepts of science. I don’t believe that is the key as many people share that and have the capacity to realize that principles that have been proven are true whether you personally master them or not. The other aspect that they all seem to share is that they are people with a self-image that is honestly above them while living a life that they see as beneath them. My theory is that as long as one clings to an idea that they are a member of a select few that “can see the truth” and are “too smart and open-minded to be brainwashed” it gives them an escape from the idea that perhaps they are not living up to their full potential. That perhaps their life is much smaller than it could be.
Ugh. It's like you're describing my mother. And I get the brunt of it since me becoming wealthy and sharing it with her seems to be her only hope of improving her life.
Here are five undeniable scientific facts that make flat earth theory an impossible model. 1. Size of the sun observed in the sky: When observed the sun takes up the same “degrees of space” in the observable sky. This is only possible for a very large object being very far away. In all flat earth theories the sun is a small object moving relatively close to earth shining a spotlight of “day time” upon the surface of the earth. The relatively observed ”degrees of space” taken up by the sun should start as very small at sun rise, be observed to be 3x-5x times larger in the sky at Noon (based on theorized size of the sun and distance from the earth’s surface proposed in the various versions of flat earth models). The sun would then get smaller and smaller in the sky as it approaches sunset. 2. The pattern of the tides. The double low and high tide patterns as seen on earth are only possible if the moon is rotating around a spherical earth. No math models in any flat earth theory can explain the observed tide cycle. 3. Sky Rotation changing. From time lapse studies, we know from the observable sky at night what appears to be a sky rotating counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. This is only possible on a rotating globe. In fact in flat earth models, the sun and northern star (Polaris) should ALWAYS be visible at night. 4. Shadow angles at Noon. Put two tall sticks in the ground 100 yards apart. Watch what happens at Noon. In a flat earth model there should be a time when the shadows cast by the sticks are pointing in opposite directions as the small relatively close sun passes over head. This doesn’t occur the shadows are cast at always the same angle of projection. This is only possible with a globe rotating to reveal a very large very far away sun. 5. Sundials move “clockwise” north of the equator. Sundials move “counter clockwise” south of the equator. This cannot happen on a flat earth with a small sun flying through the sky.

@@AngryReptileKeeper That’s the result of people consuming relentless mythology and misinformation related to fertility, conception, and pregnancy. It used to be just dumb stuff teenagers heard from an older sibling and passed around in a relatively small group, but it is significantly more proliferative these days. No, laying still after sex does not prevent pregnancy. No, jumping up and down after sex does not prevent pregnancy. No, you cannot get pregnant from a toilet seat or hot tub. Yes, you can get pregnant if sperm contacts your vulva even if it wasn’t initially released inside the vagina. No, birth control does not cause abortions (guys really like to believe that the magic happens the second they release, but there’s at least a week before a blastocyst implants in the uterine wall, at which point pregnancy occurs). Trying to explain to someone the whole timeline of the process is an effort in futility. But really, if you’ve decided to hate a thing, shouldn’t you at least know how it works? Okay I got off on a tangent, but my initial point was relevant as to the specific area of ignorance which causes more widespread reproduction.
"Only believe in things you can see for yourself. Also, there's an ice wall around the disc that no-one has ever seen for themselves, but trust me bro."

I read a fascinating comment by a psychologist who has a policy of refusing to treat any patient that claims the earth is flat: he has found that they usually have underlying mental health issues and symptoms that need psychiatric care and perhaps medication. He therefore refers those prospective patients to a higher level medical professional. While this is not a causation situation, there is correlation between the firmly held belief in a flat earth belief and symptoms of larger problems.
I know only one guy at my previous workplace who was a flat earther, and yeah, he had serious mental issues. Doesn't mean they all have, I wouldnt be able to say that with certainty.

@MRGRUMPY53 Im fairly certain it's been around longer. If I remember correctly, Jules Verne wrote Journey to the Center of the Earth after hearing about it, could easily be wrong on that part though
The funny thing is if we took a champion of champion among the flat earthers to space and they confirmed the earth is round they would then be written off as bought by NASA.
the flat earthers provide the rest of us plenty of amusement.. mind you all that wasted effort trying to prove the earth is flat..... mind you i don't think they would be so enthusiastic about something else if they beleive the earth was round....
I remember watching a documentary not that long ago that followed a group of flat earthers who set out to confirm that the Earth was flat, and basically, after every experiment that proved them wrong they simply changed the narrative to suit the results. In a nutshell, they were wrong and could not prove the Earth was flat.
@@Hkizzie Flat earth has nothing to do with religion, that's a modern idea. Besides, you can definitively, scientifically prove the shape of the earth, and it was first done thousands of years ago. You can't show any evidence that directly disproves the existence of any deity. You can explain the mechanism behind certain phenomena attributed to deities, but you can't prove or disprove if a deity was responsible for it happening. In fact, scientists for thousands of years viewed science not as a way of replacing or disproving God, but of understanding how He operates, and when you understand how He does what He does, you can better understand why He does it
I've found that most flat earthers I have spoken with stems from a deep distrust of the government. Majority of them believed in the globe, but it was something the government did that led them to begin expecting the opposite to be true. For example: your video exposing Japan's refusal to acknowledge their actions in WW2, when a japanese person finds out the truth, they become disillusioned. This can lead them to questioning everything they had ever been taught by government. Flat earther's, from my experience, have become disillusioned by government lies (example: WMD's etc.), and at some point, they fight everything the government tells them. Honestly, once I figured out it was a reaction, or a symptom if you will, it gave me a lot more patience. "I am not upset that you lied to me, I am upset that from now on I can't believe you" - neitzsche
The dangerous thing is that those who profit from conspiracies are actively working to further corrode trust in any official institutions. Did you notice how the WHO and CDC were under constant attack by anti-vaxxers saying they were part of the Big Vague Conspiracy? Do you notice how the Trumplican strategy is to attack the legitimacy of the Democratic government based on spurious claims of election fraud, therefore legitimising their own extreme rhetoric and political violence from their supporters? Do you notice how the far-right politicians love to claim they're not actually politicians like the corrupt liberal Establishment?
Makes sense. Flat earthers do have a mistrust of the government. They believe in many other conspiracies and basically don't believe anything the government says.
As an "empty headed sailor" who's better with a compass than arguing, I've tried to explain to Flerfers how deficient their beliefs are, without success. I no longer bother, as the headache isn't worth it ---nor is their company on my sailboat. 🍸🔥🦉
It's not about the shape of the earth. It's their psychotic quirk of "I know something you don't"... When you debunk their irrationalisms, they see that as a personal attack and generate any lie to save thier feeling of dominance
Almost a decade ago, I discovered online that there were people who believed the Earth was flat. I began arguing with them. I tried to understand what made them believe what they believe and thought of ways to debunk their beliefs in indisputable ways. Here are some examples: -Flat earthers said that Antarctica surrounded the Earth, was comprised of 75-150 foot tall ice walls that could not be traversed, and if you somehow did manage to traverse the wall machine-gun-carrying NASA guards would turn you away. I really thought to even think this was truly hilarious. Do these people even realize that you can just book a trip to Antarctica and go there yourself to see that none of this is true? I mean... let's go! Let's go in person and see that none of this is true in reality. See for yourself that there are no continuous tall ice walls and no NASA guards. I'm guessing that flat earthers don't have much money because none took me up on the offer -They were so convinced that the whole global concept was a means of controlling the populous. They somehow merged the globalist "New World Order", which is really about people capitalizing on a unified world government, whereby the word global doesn't refer to the shape of the planet, but the encapsulation of all governments of the world. They don't seem to understand this distinction. Further, they then use MK-Ultra and merge that into their unhinged beliefs for some reason. Then, they claim this is all because of the Rothschilds and Rockerfellers, etc. Then, I asked them a couple of questions: 1) How is it that these people or governments are going to somehow control me more or less just because of the shape of the planet? I mean, if the Earth is round or flat, from a government perspective... my life doesn't change in either case. From a controlling me perspective, nothing changes. My life from a governing perspective isn't affected by the shape of the planet. They of course had no answer for this and merely resorted to ad hominem attacks about how clueless I was and how they felt sorry for me.... even though they are the ones who couldn't answer the simplest of questions 2) Why? Why would anybody require the Earth being round in my mind, or the populous in general? What is the end game? What's it all about? The answer? Seriously... the answer was: so the government could get your money. THAT'S IT! That is all they had! So, I informed them that the government ALREADY has our money they collect in the form of taxes and that they already give many billions a year to NASA, out of a $4 trillion sum in federal revenue a year, and they don't need my understanding or permission to give NASA money because they already have my money and can spend it however Congress decides to do so in their budget. Me believing the world is some shape has literally no effect on anything with regard to them taking my money and giving it to NASA. Again, they had no response to this. So, they cannot even come up with a plausible reason that they can effectively explain in any legitimate fashion that even begins to provide a motive for their make-believe claims. Add-on: No lie, this one Australian guy was really smug about his flat earth positions and attempted to execute a live experiment on the spot on video that "proved" for sure just how the Earth simply cannot be a globe. The experiment? He had a deflated soccer ball and he used his garden hose to spray water on it to show that the water fell off and didn't stick to the ball! HAHAHAHAHA! Seriously! That was it!!! He is completely scientifically brainless! He didn't even consider for a second that the gravity of the Earth, due to its much larger mass than the ball, would overpower any sort of gravitational effects a tiny little ball could even hope to produce. This guy is all flat earthers. Just stupid and wrong.
Now we are seeing the "extraterrestrials" and UFO narrative unfold. This would not be possible if people believed in the firmament of God. Our entire world is God's creation. The Bible says this, "The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie, in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness." 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 Don't believe it if you want but this world is passing away.
You can literally watch how flat earth works as an entity atm. A few pro flat earth people have accepted a free trip to perform the final experiment, is there 24 hour sun in Antarctica? As I write this the priests have already banned these once flat earth loyalists, labelled them as shills and plants and are scrambling to have the script of a second sun ready to dispute their evidence. It's amusing for several reasons. It really shows what lengths the high priests need to go to keep their miniscule income coming in from the grift. Rather than accept any form of science they need to insert their own science (if you can even call it that) to explain something that then becomes even more outlandish than it was to begin with.

If the curvature of the earth as viewed from an airliner is due to the shape of the windows, why doesn't the terminal building look curved when you're on the runway.

So, every world sailor and every transcontinental airline pilot all keep the Flat Earth a secret. Nobody cracks and spills the beans? That is an amazingly solid conspiracy!
Do not forget every person who climbed a tall mountain. If the Earth was flat with north geological pole being in the center, visible terrain would not line up with maps (curving northward more than it should according to spherical maps), and they would see the Sun at night (it would have to be higher than all mountains, thus be visible from them).

Nobody in the FSE actually believed it was flat, but they knew there were people that did, and they made the joke their own.
Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture stating that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, every parody of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the views being parodied.

However well selected surveys are on this kind of question, I think you have to allow for many people not taking the question seriously. They give frivolous answers to frivolous questions, as with the classic - do you believe in alien abduction? I can see why some people might believe conspiracies like 9/11, based on their own prejudices. But there is no obvious need to believe that NASA, the Feds or the CIA - or the 'world government' are trying to hide the 'truth'. I've seen a couple of videos by 'Flat Earthers', going into a great deal of detail. My view is that they see flat earth theory as a kind of mental challenge. In a way, I can understand this. But of course as you say, there are those who will be hoodwinked.

Then he did the experiment and the outcome was damn near literally exactly what he stated if the world were spherical. He then basically said, in his own round (or flat hehe) about way that the results were inconclusive due to them not proving his point.
The idea that all world governments would come together for once on any one idea (let alone to keep it secret from the entire world) is quite preposterous.
I can't fathom that people actually take this seriously, it's insane. And those lunatics just need to take a long walk, hopefully they find their "edge" of the Earth.

Some schools will even conduct this experiment between a group of them around the country. It is an excellent example of the power of geometry. A UA-camr named Kurtis Baute even did this with two sticks and a bike in Saskatchewan. However, no flat earther yet has been able to do this experiment or handle the basic grade 4 geometry involved in it. So much for their "Do your own research" mantra.

i think part of the reason it continues is the internet pranksters who pretend to believe it's flat & help the fools who really believe it to generate new & ever more ridiculous 'explanations' for common debunking... it's hilarious for the pranksters no doubt, but wildly irresponsible imo.
As an update to this. In 2024 a gentleman decided to offer both leading flat earther’s, and Globers a free trip to the Antartica to see that the sun never sets for themselves. I believe it will be in September to end the debate. Every flat earth or that was invited declined the offer. Apparently, they were too afraid to see it with their own eyes that their theories would be instantly debunked.
For those who want more information, it's called The Final Experiment (site here on YT and also its own stand alone), the person paying for it is Will Duffy, it's happening in December (14th-18th), and as of today, there are 2 flat-earthers who have indicated some involvement, with 7 globe supporters agreeing to be involved, with one - Dave McKeegan - selected to go for that side. So far the flat-earth representative has not been selected, although Jeran and Austin Witsit seem to be the leading contenders.
Unfortunately, flat-earthers will continue to deny it, even after they see the 24-hour sun. They deny all other facts that invalidate a flat earth, such as the sun and ships sinking below the horizon, actual photos, lunar eclipses, etc. They'll come up with some ad hoc bullshit to explain away the midnight sun in Antactica. It will probably be something along the lines of the flat-earthers (Jeran & Witsit) were paid to lie about it, or they were never real flat-earthers, but shills, or the entire party was brainwashed by NASA before returning home, and all their memories were implanted. It will be some wild and insane explanation, just as all their other explanations are. Basically there are two types of flat-earthers: 1. dishonest; 2. dishonest and stupid.

Navigators more hundreds of years ago: Considering the way a ship disappears off sight and the height of constellations depending on the location the earth is probably round Random middle aged conspiracy theorist 2020: The earth is flat because I can't see the curve where I live
Both of those phenomenons have been explained with optical experiments. Sailors from centuries ago who never went to school and knew nothing about physics and optics, so their misinterpretations of what they were seeing is excusable.
This is as logical as claiming the earth is a cube because I am sitting inside a dark box and can't see out. So it must be!. Try harder! Strain those little flat peepers of yours.
Roughly 2000 years ago, Greek (more broadly Hellenistic) astronomers made a careful study of the earth, moon (eclipses and half moon phases), and sun. Likely the simplest of these measurements was Eratosthenes' measurement of the earth's circumference, which was repeated by Posidonius using the star Canopus (and basically got the right answer). More complicated geometric arguments obtained the distance from the earth to the moon (60-70 earth's radii away by Hellenistic measurements, which is not bad ) and reasonably close estimates for the moon's radius (roughly 1/3 that of the earth). Probably the only thing they got very wrong was the distance between the sun and the earth, where the measurements needed were pushing the limits of the naked eye. Their equipment was very primitive, but their way of approaching the problem and trying to verify results with several types of measurements was strikingly modern. A modern approach to a problem or question can often overcome primitive technology. In contrast, flat earthers prove that a primitive approach to a problem can render modern technology useless.
Flat Earthers: We can only accept what we can see with our own eyes. Also Flat Earthers: The Earth is surrounded by an ice wall that no one's ever seen.
Brandon MacLeod no I am not. Anyone that honestly research this topic instead of listening to guys like these on UA-cam can’t come away thinking the earth is a spinning sphere! I’ve asked people for 3 scientific proof of earth’s movement and no one can provide it. It’s a historical fact that every attempt made by Globe Earth proponents to prove movement has failed!! That’s why they started creating theories. When you can’t prove something In Reality, you create a theory! You don’t need a theory to tell you the sun is in the sky, you see it everyday. You only need theories for things you can’t see or experience in reality! The globe earth is a fantasy supported by theories upon theories that has no basis in reality!!

The Netflix documentary Around the Curve has my favorite example of flat earthers
They came up with a surprisingly scientific experiment involving a gyroscope to measure the actual curvature of the earth. They laid out the explanation for what evidence would prove that the earth is round, and what would prove the earth is flat
It proved the earth is round
Their conclusion: magical sky beams interfered with their measurements
Better yet: they then went to the trouble of buying a zero Gauss chamber to block out these "heavenly energies"
It still proved the Earth is round

@@lepangolin4080 You're welcome.
This video really didn’t touch on “why” people believe this. I’d like to forward my theory. Having engaged with many flat-earthers I have found some commonalities in all of those with whom I have spoken. All of them share a misunderstanding of core concepts of science. I don’t believe that is the key as many people share that and have the capacity to realize that principles that have been proven are true whether you personally master them or not. The other aspect that they all seem to share is that they are people with a self-image that is honestly above them while living a life that they see as beneath them. My theory is that as long as one clings to an idea that they are a member of a select few that “can see the truth” and are “too smart and open-minded to be brainwashed” it gives them an escape from the idea that perhaps they are not living up to their full potential. That perhaps their life is much smaller than it could be.
That's pretty common to almost all conspiracy theorists.
Ugh. It's like you're describing my mother. And I get the brunt of it since me becoming wealthy and sharing it with her seems to be her only hope of improving her life.
I have a theory which some will find controversial: They're morons.
It's basically a version of the Dunning Kruger effect.
You just described most humans....
Here are five undeniable scientific facts that make flat earth theory an impossible model.
1. Size of the sun observed in the sky: When observed the sun takes up the same “degrees of space” in the observable sky. This is only possible for a very large object being very far away. In all flat earth theories the sun is a small object moving relatively close to earth shining a spotlight of “day time” upon the surface of the earth. The relatively observed ”degrees of space” taken up by the sun should start as very small at sun rise, be observed to be 3x-5x times larger in the sky at Noon (based on theorized size of the sun and distance from the earth’s surface proposed in the various versions of flat earth models). The sun would then get smaller and smaller in the sky as it approaches sunset.
2. The pattern of the tides. The double low and high tide patterns as seen on earth are only possible if the moon is rotating around a spherical earth. No math models in any flat earth theory can explain the observed tide cycle.
3. Sky Rotation changing. From time lapse studies, we know from the observable sky at night what appears to be a sky rotating counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. This is only possible on a rotating globe. In fact in flat earth models, the sun and northern star (Polaris) should ALWAYS be visible at night.
4. Shadow angles at Noon. Put two tall sticks in the ground 100 yards apart. Watch what happens at Noon. In a flat earth model there should be a time when the shadows cast by the sticks are pointing in opposite directions as the small relatively close sun passes over head. This doesn’t occur the shadows are cast at always the same angle of projection. This is only possible with a globe rotating to reveal a very large very far away sun.
5. Sundials move “clockwise” north of the equator. Sundials move “counter clockwise” south of the equator. This cannot happen on a flat earth with a small sun flying through the sky.
This assumes you're qrguing with a rational person playing by the same rules as us (logic, science, reality...)

Yes, you can get pregnant if sperm contacts your vulva even if it wasn’t initially released inside the vagina. No, birth control does not cause abortions (guys really like to believe that the magic happens the second they release, but there’s at least a week before a blastocyst implants in the uterine wall, at which point pregnancy occurs).

He therefore refers those prospective patients to a higher level medical professional. While this is not a causation situation, there is correlation between the firmly held belief in a flat earth belief and symptoms of larger problems.

I remember watching a documentary not that long ago that followed a group of flat earthers who set out to confirm that the Earth was flat, and basically, after every experiment that proved them wrong they simply changed the narrative to suit the results. In a nutshell, they were wrong and could not prove the Earth was flat.
Hence the beginning of the term "thanks Bob".
That’s basically religion in general. Only accept any evidence that supports your belief, throw out all evidence that disproves it.
@@Hkizzieno one asked I declare jihad on you
@@Hkizzie Flat earth has nothing to do with religion, that's a modern idea. Besides, you can definitively, scientifically prove the shape of the earth, and it was first done thousands of years ago. You can't show any evidence that directly disproves the existence of any deity. You can explain the mechanism behind certain phenomena attributed to deities, but you can't prove or disprove if a deity was responsible for it happening. In fact, scientists for thousands of years viewed science not as a way of replacing or disproving God, but of understanding how He operates, and when you understand how He does what He does, you can better understand why He does it
@@filmandfirearms Keep your god out of science.
I've found that most flat earthers I have spoken with stems from a deep distrust of the government. Majority of them believed in the globe, but it was something the government did that led them to begin expecting the opposite to be true.
For example: your video exposing Japan's refusal to acknowledge their actions in WW2, when a japanese person finds out the truth, they become disillusioned. This can lead them to questioning everything they had ever been taught by government.
Flat earther's, from my experience, have become disillusioned by government lies (example: WMD's etc.), and at some point, they fight everything the government tells them. Honestly, once I figured out it was a reaction, or a symptom if you will, it gave me a lot more patience.

The dangerous thing is that those who profit from conspiracies are actively working to further corrode trust in any official institutions.

Do you notice how the Trumplican strategy is to attack the legitimacy of the Democratic government based on spurious claims of election fraud, therefore legitimising their own extreme rhetoric and political violence from their supporters? Do you notice how the far-right politicians love to claim they're not actually politicians like the corrupt liberal Establishment?
Makes sense. Flat earthers do have a mistrust of the government. They believe in many other conspiracies and basically don't believe anything the government says.
Great point. And I’m afraid in the era of all the lies around Covid this distrust has gotten much worse
And that's true for ALL conspiracy theories.

@@sandraal2585
Because it's not about "being right or wrong" lmfao
It's about not challenging me
Almost a decade ago, I discovered online that there were people who believed the Earth was flat. I began arguing with them. I tried to understand what made them believe what they believe and thought of ways to debunk their beliefs in indisputable ways. Here are some examples:
-Flat earthers said that Antarctica surrounded the Earth, was comprised of 75-150 foot tall ice walls that could not be traversed, and if you somehow did manage to traverse the wall machine-gun-carrying NASA guards would turn you away. I really thought to even think this was truly hilarious. Do these people even realize that you can just book a trip to Antarctica and go there yourself to see that none of this is true? I mean... let's go! Let's go in person and see that none of this is true in reality. See for yourself that there are no continuous tall ice walls and no NASA guards. I'm guessing that flat earthers don't have much money because none took me up on the offer
-They were so convinced that the whole global concept was a means of controlling the populous. They somehow merged the globalist "New World Order", which is really about people capitalizing on a unified world government, whereby the word global doesn't refer to the shape of the planet, but the encapsulation of all governments of the world. They don't seem to understand this distinction. Further, they then use MK-Ultra and merge that into their unhinged beliefs for some reason. Then, they claim this is all because of the Rothschilds and Rockerfellers, etc. Then, I asked them a couple of questions:
1) How is it that these people or governments are going to somehow control me more or less just because of the shape of the planet? I mean, if the Earth is round or flat, from a government perspective... my life doesn't change in either case. From a controlling me perspective, nothing changes. My life from a governing perspective isn't affected by the shape of the planet. They of course had no answer for this and merely resorted to ad hominem attacks about how clueless I was and how they felt sorry for me.... even though they are the ones who couldn't answer the simplest of questions
2) Why? Why would anybody require the Earth being round in my mind, or the populous in general? What is the end game? What's it all about? The answer? Seriously... the answer was: so the government could get your money. THAT'S IT! That is all they had! So, I informed them that the government ALREADY has our money they collect in the form of taxes and that they already give many billions a year to NASA, out of a $4 trillion sum in federal revenue a year, and they don't need my understanding or permission to give NASA money because they already have my money and can spend it however Congress decides to do so in their budget. Me believing the world is some shape has literally no effect on anything with regard to them taking my money and giving it to NASA. Again, they had no response to this. So, they cannot even come up with a plausible reason that they can effectively explain in any legitimate fashion that even begins to provide a motive for their make-believe claims.
Add-on: No lie, this one Australian guy was really smug about his flat earth positions and attempted to execute a live experiment on the spot on video that "proved" for sure just how the Earth simply cannot be a globe. The experiment? He had a deflated soccer ball and he used his garden hose to spray water on it to show that the water fell off and didn't stick to the ball! HAHAHAHAHA! Seriously! That was it!!! He is completely scientifically brainless! He didn't even consider for a second that the gravity of the Earth, due to its much larger mass than the ball, would overpower any sort of gravitational effects a tiny little ball could even hope to produce. This guy is all flat earthers. Just stupid and wrong.
Now we are seeing the "extraterrestrials" and UFO narrative unfold. This would not be possible if people believed in the firmament of God. Our entire world is God's creation.
The Bible says this, "The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie, in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness." 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
Don't believe it if you want but this world is passing away.
You can literally watch how flat earth works as an entity atm. A few pro flat earth people have accepted a free trip to perform the final experiment, is there 24 hour sun in Antarctica? As I write this the priests have already banned these once flat earth loyalists, labelled them as shills and plants and are scrambling to have the script of a second sun ready to dispute their evidence.
It's amusing for several reasons. It really shows what lengths the high priests need to go to keep their miniscule income coming in from the grift. Rather than accept any form of science they need to insert their own science (if you can even call it that) to explain something that then becomes even more outlandish than it was to begin with.

My father, who is a retired college professor with several advanced degrees, used to be a member of the Flat Earth Society back in the 70's and 80's. At the time it was basically a mail-in fan newsletter, and was possibly the first ironic/sarcastic trolling comedy exercise.

He built an insanely powerful lazer and set up polls as a sort of check point and something along the lines of "If the world is a sphere then the exact degree of curvature should be _______." Then he did the experiment and the outcome was damn near literally exactly what he stated if the world were spherical. He then basically said, in his own round (or flat hehe) about way that the results were inconclusive due to them not proving his point.

Minnion yes, they are called governments. Really not much of a secret, humans are just horrible. 😂🤣😂
@@christopherblake2588 Some of them are cults, clubs, syndicates, churches, and of course corporations.... Of course the whole one world government conspiracy could be considered two or more... (Religious organizations trying to get everyone to be the same religion, and see a one world government as a tool to achieve this... Then you get corporations that see a one world government as their ticket to saving money on lobbing multiple governments to pass laws to benefit their greed by suppressing competition and making it easier to achieve their monopolies and the death of the free market....)
Minnion very true can’t ignore those as well. Every group has a special interest, you can even throw lobbyist into that equation. Wouldn’t call it much of a conspiracy thou if they are doing this out in the open. Human nature almost guarantees there will never be a “one government”.

As an update to this. In 2024 a gentleman decided to offer both leading flat earther’s, and Globers a free trip to the Antartica to see that the sun never sets for themselves. I believe it will be in September to end the debate. Every flat earth or that was invited declined the offer. Apparently, they were too afraid to see it with their own eyes that their theories would be instantly debunked.
For those who want more information, it's called The Final Experiment (site here on YT and also its own stand alone), the person paying for it is Will Duffy, it's happening in December (14th-18th), and as of today, there are 2 flat-earthers who have indicated some involvement, with 7 globe supporters agreeing to be involved, with one - Dave McKeegan - selected to go for that side. So far the flat-earth representative has not been selected, although Jeran and Austin Witsit seem to be the leading contenders.
Unfortunately, flat-earthers will continue to deny it, even after they see the 24-hour sun. They deny all other facts that invalidate a flat earth, such as the sun and ships sinking below the horizon, actual photos, lunar eclipses, etc. They'll come up with some ad hoc bullshit to explain away the midnight sun in Antactica. It will probably be something along the lines of the flat-earthers (Jeran & Witsit) were paid to lie about it, or they were never real flat-earthers, but shills, or the entire party was brainwashed by NASA before returning home, and all their memories were implanted. It will be some wild and insane explanation, just as all their other explanations are.
Basically there are two types of flat-earthers: 1. dishonest; 2. dishonest and stupid.

Random middle aged conspiracy theorist 2020: The earth is flat because I can't see the curve where I live
Dipshit Probably lives in the woods.
Both of those phenomenons have been explained with optical experiments.
Sailors from centuries ago who never went to school and knew nothing about physics and optics, so their misinterpretations of what they were seeing is excusable.
This is as logical as claiming the earth is a cube because I am sitting inside a dark box and can't see out. So it must be!. Try harder! Strain those little flat peepers of yours.
Roughly 2000 years ago, Greek (more broadly Hellenistic) astronomers made a careful study of the earth, moon (eclipses and half moon phases), and sun. Likely the simplest of these measurements was Eratosthenes' measurement of the earth's circumference, which was repeated by Posidonius using the star Canopus (and basically got the right answer).
More complicated geometric arguments obtained the distance from the earth to the moon (60-70 earth's radii away by Hellenistic measurements, which is not bad ) and reasonably close estimates for the moon's radius (roughly 1/3 that of the earth). Probably the only thing they got very wrong was the distance between the sun and the earth, where the measurements needed were pushing the limits of the naked eye.
Their equipment was very primitive, but their way of approaching the problem and trying to verify results with several types of measurements was strikingly modern. A modern approach to a problem or question can often overcome primitive technology.
In contrast, flat earthers prove that a primitive approach to a problem can render modern technology useless.
