    I like how he pointed out that a flat disc would collapse back into a ball under its own gravity, and how most things in space are round. There's plenty of objects out there, but the moons of Mars will suffice to demonstrate this point: Both moons are too small for their gravity to force them into a spherical shape, but Phobos being the larger of the two, is somewhat closer to being spherical than Deimos.

    This explains it very clearly.
    To believe in a flat earth, you have to:
    -believe that the sun and moon both defy physics to run in continuous circles overhead, and you have to overlook the fact that this would prevent people in the southern hemisphere from ever seeing a full moon
    -overlook the fact that this would result in people in different hemispheres seeing different faces of the moon, and you have to ignore the fact that this would result in different lunar cycles in different parts of the world.
    -believe that the sun somehow acts as a spotlight (which makes no sense). You also have to either believe that this spotlight somehow also illuminates the moon even though the moon should not be in the direction of the spotlight or you have to believe that the moon is self-illuminating. You also have to believe in a “shadow object” for which there is zero evidence, but the existence of which is required to explain a lunar eclipse on a flat earth.
    Further, you have to ignore the fact that a flat earth model can’t explain the fact that storm systems spin in different directions in different hemispheres.
    You also have to believe that gravity is a myth and via unknown means, the entire universe is accelerating upward at a constant rate of acceleration of 9.8m/s^2, but the earth somehow shields objects on it from the force causing this acceleration, yet somehow the sun and moon aren’t shielded.
    Also, you have to simultaneously believe that gravity does exist for every celestial body other than earth.
    Additionally, you have to either believe that certain airline flights don’t exist and everyone who claims to have been on them is lying, or you have to invent fictional technology that lets airliners fly faster than the speed of sound and greatly exceed their fuel limitations.
    On top of all of this, you have to ignore the fact that it is impossible to consistently plot known geographic coordinates onto a flat earth map. The math simply doesn’t work.
    Finally, you have to invent an insanely massive conspiracy involving every government, every space agency, every airline company (and their pilots), every international shipping company (and their ships’ crews), every company that is involved with satellites, etc.
    None of this makes any sense whatsoever.

      Very well said. They also have to ignore what they see every time they witness the sun or moon rising and setting. They don't get larger and smaller, they rise and sink behind the horizon. Additionally, land surveys have to account for the converging lines of longitude, which becomes more pronounced the closer you get to either pole.

    1. **Direct Observations of Earth's Curvature:** When you observe distant objects disappearing bottom-up as they move farther away, it's due to the Earth's curvature. This phenomenon is consistent with a spherical Earth.
    2. **Circumnavigation Confirms Sphericity:** The ability to sail or fly around the Earth in a continuous path, returning to the starting point, is a clear demonstration of the Earth's spherical shape.
    3. **Lunar Eclipse and Earth's Shadow:** During a lunar eclipse, the Earth casts a round shadow on the moon, which is only possible if the Earth is a sphere.
    4. **Ship Hulls Over the Horizon:** As ships sail away, their hulls vanish first, followed by the masts and superstructures, as they disappear over the curved horizon.
    5. **Order of Visibility:** When a distant object approaches, the top part becomes visible first, gradually revealing the entire object. This is consistent with a curved Earth.
    6. **Eratosthenes' Experiment:** In 3rd century BC, Eratosthenes calculated the Earth's circumference by comparing the angle of the sun's rays at two different locations, providing evidence for a spherical Earth.
    7. **Modern Satellite Imagery:** Images from satellites show the Earth as a sphere, providing continuous visual confirmation.
    8. **Astronomical Observations:** The changing positions of stars and constellations as you move north or south align with the curvature of the Earth.
    9. **Coriolis Effect:** The Coriolis effect, which influences wind patterns and ocean currents, is a direct result of the Earth's rotation on its axis.
    10. **Time Zones Based on Longitudinal Lines:** The existence of time zones is evidence of the Earth's rotation, and these time divisions are based on lines of longitude.
    11. **Aircraft Navigation:** The navigation of aircraft relies on the curvature of the Earth, and flight paths are calculated accordingly.
    12. **High-Altitude Flight Observations:** Passengers on high-altitude flights can see the curvature of the Earth below them.
    13. **Midnight Sun in Polar Regions:** The phenomenon of the midnight sun, where the sun doesn't set during certain times of the year in polar regions, is due to the Earth's axial tilt.
    14. **Different Constellations in Hemispheres:** The fact that different constellations are visible in the northern and southern hemispheres is consistent with the Earth's curvature.
    15. **Historical Measurement by Ancient Civilizations:** Ancient civilizations, such as the Greeks, measured the Earth's circumference using simple geometry and observed star positions.
    16. **Orbiting Satellites:** The existence of the International Space Station and other satellites orbiting the Earth is a testament to its spherical shape.
    17. **Photos from the Edge of Space:** Photos taken from high-altitude balloons and rockets clearly show the curvature of the Earth.
    18. **Radio Signals and GPS:** The way radio signals and GPS navigation work relies on the Earth's curvature and the positions of satellites.
    19. **Poles Exist:** The presence of the South Pole and the North Pole indicates the Earth's spherical shape.
    20. **Gravitational Attraction to the Center:** The consistent behavior of gravity, pulling objects toward the Earth's center, supports a spherical shape.
    21. **Horizon Curvature:** The curvature of the Earth's horizon, which can be observed in various settings, is another direct piece of evidence.
    22. **Atmospheric Behavior:** The behavior of the Earth's atmosphere, including the way it bends light and affects visibility, is in line with a curved surface.
    23. **Extended Line of Sight from Elevation:** Observing distant objects from a higher elevation allows you to see farther, demonstrating the Earth's curvature.
    24. **Equatorial Diameter vs. Polar Diameter:** The Earth's diameter is slightly larger at the equator than from pole to pole, consistent with a spherical shape.
    25. **Scientific Consensus:** The collective agreement among experts in various fields, including geophysics and astronomy, supports the overwhelming evidence for a spherical Earth.

      There are also further refutations of claims that Flat Earthers will make in refutation of scientific evidence. As an example, it is not uncommon to hear them claim that the sun is small and close, and moves in a circle over the flat Earth; under this premise, the sun would never set, and would change in size over the course of the day (being at its largest when directly overhead, and smaller the further away it traveled), which is _clearly_ not the case.

      @@SpagettiSpeltWrong funny, by definition, is something that would make a laugh, or a chuckle, which is a noise of happiness coming out of someone. So if you hear something which you think deserves a chuckle, you would….laugh. Or so we’ve been told.
      Funny can be screwed for other people , making not everyone’s interpretation of funny the same, so is it even a word. Because if it was a word, then everyone would know exactly what it means. No, funny, is a base, we all know what funny means, which is the base. But we all don’t have the same interpretation on what we find funny, which is what we added on, to the base, of funny.
      Take a thought at this joke
      Why did the chicken cross the road, because it wanted to beans. For some, people would say this isn’t funny, for others, people would say it is. We would have to know why the chuckle crossed the road, so if we exclude everything else and only think of the chicken, why is the chicken having thoughts, why does the chicken know about the dangers of crossing the road. Why do we even care?
      Caring is when we find empathy for something, if you saw something wrong, and someone got hurt because of the wrong doing, you would feel sad for the guy, wanting to help, for that’s human nature.
      Think back to ww2, it has been said that the nazis actually cared about the Jews they where killing. And Adolf Hitler wasn’t always a hater of the Jews, he was a Jew to begin with. Take this picture of Hitler hugging a little girl, they became friends straight after, but, adolf then realized she was a Jew, but that didn’t exclude him from liking her.
      Relationships is what helped him, and many people, do you know about a relationship that has helped you. This has been Vsauce, and as always, thanks for watching

    The beliefs of flat-earthers contradict everyday observations regarding sunrises and sunsets, among many other things. If the sun orbited above a flat Earth as flat-earthers claim, the sun would never set below the horizon; it would just appear smaller, dimmer, and somewhat lower in the sky when it is farther from us.
    If the sun orbited in a plane perpendicular to a flat Earth, that could explain how the sun can set below the horizon. But if that were the case, the sun would rise and set at the same times everywhere on Earth. My experience described below shows why this cannot be the case.
    A few years ago, I had the opportunity to visit Iceland in mid-December. One thing that I noticed while I was in Iceland was that the length of daylight was significantly shorter than it ever gets in my hometown in Ohio. What I observed regarding the differences in the length of daylight between Ohio and Iceland would be physically impossible on a flat Earth.
    In summary, all that you have to do to see for yourself that the Earth is not flat is to plan a trip to somewhere significantly farther from the Equator than where you live, in either June or December. Note for yourself the differences in the daylight hours.

    It's important to note that the concept of a flat Earth goes against well-established scientific principles and evidence. The overwhelming consensus among scientists and the general understanding is that the Earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning it's roughly spherical in shape, not flat. However, I can still explain how gravity works to condense celestial bodies, such as planets, into a spherical shape based on the scientific understanding.
    Gravity is the force of attraction that exists between all objects with mass. This force acts in all directions, pulling objects toward one another. When it comes to celestial bodies, like planets, the process of condensation and forming a spherical shape is due to gravity acting on the matter within the body.
    Here's how gravity leads to the formation of a spherical planet:
    Accumulation of Matter: In space, there are vast clouds of gas and dust, often created from the remnants of previous stars. As these particles come together under the influence of gravity, they begin to accumulate in one area. Over time, this accumulation of matter grows, forming a "protostar" or a "protoplanet."
    Increasing Gravitational Attraction: As more matter accumulates, the gravitational force at the center of this mass increases. This gravitational attraction pulls additional material toward the center of mass, causing it to clump together.
    Compression and Pressure: As more and more matter is drawn into the center, it experiences increasing pressure due to the gravitational force. This pressure causes the matter to compress and heat up.
    Spherical Shape: Gravity acts equally in all directions, pulling matter toward the center of mass. This results in a balanced pressure gradient across the body. As a result, the celestial body takes on a roughly spherical shape, as a sphere is the most stable geometric shape under such conditions.
    Equilibrium: Once the celestial body reaches a state of equilibrium, where the inward gravitational force is balanced by the pressure from the heat generated in the core, it becomes a stable, spherical object - a planet.
    For a celestial body to maintain a flat or non-spherical shape, there would need to be significant forces acting against gravity. However, in the absence of such forces, gravity naturally shapes celestial bodies into spheres. This is why nearly all planets, including Earth, are approximately spherical in shape.
    It's important to reiterate that the scientific consensus supports the idea of a spherical Earth, and there is a wealth of evidence, including satellite images, space missions, and astronomical observations, that confirm this fact. The flat Earth model is not supported by scientific evidence and is widely regarded as a pseudoscience. There, I just wrote how flat earth is not real.

      What makes it scary is that once you fall, you'll speed up till you reach the centre but because of inertia, you'll still be growing pretty fast and reach close to the other side (some kilometres less cause of the friction) and then fall back again and reach close to the other side again and again until friction finally stops you near the middle.
