Professor Dave, I would just like to say that you are the Ryan Owens* of Flat Earth Debunking. You removed all doubt from my mind. And I love how you make your presentations. *Ryan Owens was a great debunker for the 9/11 Inside job conspiracy.
Flat earth theory is absolute bull**** but 9/11 inside job theory is only false insofar as the US government limited itself to not retaliate against the operation led by two of its alleged allies in the Middle East, namely a country that starts with an I and ends with an L and another which is a double word that starts with an S and ends with an A. And WT7, come on...
I was listening to a podcast recently ("Ologies," with Alie Ward) and Alie spent some time with a geologist recently. One of Alie's listeners asked an interesting question, which I was wondering if you were willing to tackle. Quite simply, the question was whether ice is technically considered a "rock," or not?
Professor Dave, I’m returning to college after having to take a medical break after being diagnosed with a chronic health condition. I know this video isn’t chemistry related, but it is your latest, and my chemistry exam is tomorrow. Your videos caught me up on almost an entire semester that I had missed while being in the hospital. I was given the option to waive the final for a partial credit, but with your help, I feel confident in my ability to pass. Thank you so much for all you do :) 🤍
Neat information! The next time I go to Trona, CA I will be inspired by the idea of crystal formation and how it forms. I believe there's pink Halite there which was neat to see a few years back when I went on a lapidary field trip with my kiddo. What's interesting is the idea to preserve our crystal findings by using a type of Brine wash instead of regular water. It was cool to experience that years ago. I bet my kiddo would like to watch this and do another field trip out there to Trona and it will be a lil more appreciated re the field trip and the info from here! Cool! 👍✌️💖

@@ProfessorDaveExplains No, Professor Dave! Don't do it! Don't fall into the Twitter black hole. You think the whack jobs are prevalent here on UA-cam?! Twitter makes UA-cam look like Girl Scout summer camp when it comes to mindless trolls, bots, and science deniers.
Because architectural engineers know how to calculate and compensate for the divergence of the plumb line (which points to the gravitational center of the globe), but the small base of a building compared to the immense size of the earth makes the difference in width negligible - barely a few millimeters. But bridges with a very long span actually do require the structural engineers to calculate the differences in plumb line angles relative to each other, because the curvature of the earth can make opposite ends of a bridge "tilt" away from each other by more than a few inches, which is enough to keep parts from matching together without that compensation. In addition, the military now uses computerized targeting systems that take into account both the curvature of the earth and the coriolis effect from its rotation. Without those calculations a long range projectile from the big guns of a battleship could almost literally miss its target by a mile. And the shape of the earth has been proven by innumerable methods which all corroborate each other. If you want to know some facts, ask Dave what different methods have been used to determine and confirm the shape of the earth. Being a musician, I find the reverberation of sound waves (seismic waves from earthquakes or at one time, nuclear testing) to be intuitively, logically, and mathematically convincing. My grandfather was a surveyor for the railroad, and compensation for the curvature of the earth was crucial for laying "level" track. I have no reason to suspect that he was a globe conspirator. I also no longer have any religious belief that humanity is innately evil, and so I tend to think of people as predominantly trustworthy, unless there is evidence otherwise. Research done to determine the economic viability of grocery store self checkouts proved that the vast majority of people are honest, and if the money grubbers have come to that conclusion then I have no reason to doubt it. That makes a worldwide conspiracy to conceal the true shape of the earth preposterously unlikely, statistically verging on being impossible. But none of this has a goddam thing to do with the formation of mineral deposits. So what was your purpose in asking that irrelevant question, knowing full well that Dave has answered it elsewhere repeatedly?* Asking such a question is pointless... even asinine... when you have no intention of understanding or accepting the answer. P.S. Would you _please_ explain how my phone's GPS can work on a flat earth with no satellites in space????? 😁😁 What causes gamma ray bursts in the "fake space" flat earth "theory"????? 😁😁 Can you describe the forces that cause the sun's season trajectory migration proposed by the flat earth model????? 😁😁 How many guards would it take to effectively patrol an icewall circling the entire perimeter of the earth, and how are they supplied with food, heating fuel, and other basic necessities????? 😁😁 How does the flat earth proposal explain the ocean currents that flow _around_ Antarctica if it is an enclosed circle and not an isolated continent???? 😁😁 Might I suggest that you resolve the impossible inconsistencies and inexplicable phenomena in the flat earth supposition before you try to discredit the scientifically conclusive, highly predictive, technologically useful globe model? * Just a few thoughts... but I seriously hope you were joking.

Yes Professor Dave, yes !
Thanx listening for mineral formation by sedimentary roacks
Yaey! Dave delves into geology too. 😀
Thanks Dave
I love rocks.
Love this series thanks. I never would have even considered any of this without your channel. Cheers from Toronto
Can you do an episode giving me some info on the "Incompleteness theorem" & "Modal logic" & "Proof theory"...
PLEASE and thank you...
Please make more about pharmacology .
Would love to get engineering lectures from you:)

There is a few misinformations in there. But not a bad video
where are the misinformation?
