Only flat earth society members will cite this. I think they where 555 members when i last watched that site. But no real flat earther will cite this. Talking 100 of millions. So my answer to you is, that you never will find any whatsoever flat earther that will cite this as true!
Earth is a 2-dimensional manifold, meaning it is locally homeomorphic to a flat 2d plane at all points. If it is locally homeomorphic to a flat plane at all points, then it is globally homeomorphic to a flat plane, so it cannot be a sphere. This has been Dr. Moore on the flat earth. Thank you.
That doesn't account for imperceptibly slight perturbations in the perceived curvature which becomes more exacerbated over larger reference scales, given the immensity of the Earth. Pure mathematics doesn't necessarily apply to reality 1:1 and, in fact, physics has to constantly account for Nature's imperfections, such as friction, drag, or electric resistance. Why should the geometry of our reality, regardless of scale, fit to our evolutionarily-directed primitive mathematical conceptions?
You can simply make a really small puncture on the surface of the earth (sphere, yes the earth is hollow ofc), and then it would really be homeomorphic to a plane (even if it looks like a sphere from far away)
I'm a simple engineer. So when people tell me things about Earth's shape, I emulate Sherlock Holmes, who famously told off Dr. Watson thus: *_"You say that we go round the sun. If we went round the moon it would not make a pennyworth of difference to me or to my work."_*
The earth does go round the moon, in a sense... the earth and moon orbit the point that is the barycenter of their mass. It just so happens that this point is located inside the earth.
@@brucetucker4847 That's not quite the same, is it? Earth 🌎 and the Moon 🌙 both orbit 💫 their common barycenter. The Moon actually goes around Earth, _but Earth does _*_not_*_ go around the Moon!_ 🤔 BTW, you can invoke Einstein's 🤓 Relativity and claim that since motion is relative, from the Moon's frame of reference, Earth orbits the Moon. 💡 Regardless, I don't think Sherlock Holmes' 🕵️♂️ reaction would be any different to this new piece of information. 🤣
@@nHans you do realize, I presume, that Sherlock is a FICTIONAL character, and in actuality had NO opinion on that or any matter, and that neither he, nor Sir Arthur were physicists or, more to the point, geodesists. Still, you’re a f’king engineer, fer crissakes. Start acting like one, stop equivocating, state the CORRECT opinion, be intolerant of the WRONG opinion, & stop embarrassing MY profession.
@@teefkay2 Whoa. Calm down. Take a chill pill. I don't know what your profession is, but somebody is definitely embarrassing themselves. Hint: It's not me. My friendly advice to you-not as an engineer, but as a concerned human being-is that you work on your anger issues, and avoid situations that can trigger them. Like UA-cam comments. Clearly, the level of sophistry and humor in this thread is beyond what your sensitive ego can comprehend, let alone handle. Feel free to rejoin when you're feeling calmer.
@@nHans I’ve been a working mechanical engineer for about 50 years now. You are confusing “having something to say” with “being agitated”. There are several personality traits that emerge in career engineers. One is a very, very thick hide. Trust me, there is NOTHING that could possibly be written in the comments here that could generate the SLIGHTEST wiggle in my GIVE-A-SHIT-O-METER. I read your comment as “it isn’t important whether the earth is flat or spherical, because it doesn’t impact your world in any meaningful way.” If that’s an improper interpretation, I apologize. Over my career, I’ve helped “mature” about 3 generations of wet-behind-the-ears baby engineers, right out of college and knowing just enough to be dangerous to themselves & others, into pretty well-functioning real engineers. One of the first lessons is to distinguish fact from opinions. Real engineers don’t say, _”the 2+2 might be 4”_ or _”the world might be spherical.”_ They say _”2+2 IS 4”_ and _”The world IS spherical”_ and “any other answer is stupid & (worse) wrong.” I was reading your comment as _”The world might be spherical”_ and further that “the question doesn’t matter because it doesn’t impact my (ie., your) life.” If I misread your meaning, I apologize & feel free to clarify your intent. Stupidity is rampant in this world, and, especially in this topic. Further, if the stupid person is receptive & polite, the proper response to stupidity is an occasional explanation. Whereas, if the stupid person lacks either receptivity or politeness, then the proper response is “pointing fingers & ridicule”. But intelligent / competent people can’t let stupidity stand un-ridiculed. You choose how much effort you’re willing to spend, but your civic duty requires at least a small contribution.
Congratulations Dr. Ed, my name is Dr. Af Ool and I must say this is ground breaking work, I too disagree with the trends we see in physics today, what's the point of peer review when your peers are peons who don't think for themselves?

I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 ///////////

@@joda7697 is it an actually speech given by some dr. Ed iotte? Can u link the video if possible?
It's always "assuming a spherical cow in a vacuum", why not "assuming a two dimensional cow in a vacuum"?
Meh,
Assuming things to be one dimensional, just use basic vector algebra 🤷🏻♂️, it's almost the same thing
Ps: I'm an engineer
Holy crap, you actually got the UA-cam-approved Flat Earth disclaimer below your video. 🤣I'm so proud!
Earth is a 2-dimensional manifold, meaning it is locally homeomorphic to a flat 2d plane at all points. If it is locally homeomorphic to a flat plane at all points, then it is globally homeomorphic to a flat plane, so it cannot be a sphere. This has been Dr. Moore on the flat earth. Thank you.
That doesn't account for imperceptibly slight perturbations in the perceived curvature which becomes more exacerbated over larger reference scales, given the immensity of the Earth.
Pure mathematics doesn't necessarily apply to reality 1:1 and, in fact, physics has to constantly account for Nature's imperfections, such as friction, drag, or electric resistance. Why should the geometry of our reality, regardless of scale, fit to our evolutionarily-directed primitive mathematical conceptions?
You can simply make a really small puncture on the surface of the earth (sphere, yes the earth is hollow ofc), and then it would really be homeomorphic to a plane (even if it looks like a sphere from far away)
yes, but the smallest atlas of earth has 2 maps, so i would be careful

I'm a simple engineer. So when people tell me things about Earth's shape, I emulate Sherlock Holmes, who famously told off Dr. Watson thus: *_"You say that we go round the sun. If we went round the moon it would not make a pennyworth of difference to me or to my work."_*
The earth does go round the moon, in a sense... the earth and moon orbit the point that is the barycenter of their mass. It just so happens that this point is located inside the earth.
@@brucetucker4847 That's not quite the same, is it? Earth 🌎 and the Moon 🌙 both orbit 💫 their common barycenter. The Moon actually goes around Earth, _but Earth does _*_not_*_ go around the Moon!_ 🤔
BTW, you can invoke Einstein's 🤓 Relativity and claim that since motion is relative, from the Moon's frame of reference, Earth orbits the Moon. 💡
Regardless, I don't think Sherlock Holmes' 🕵️♂️ reaction would be any different to this new piece of information. 🤣
@@nHans you do realize, I presume, that Sherlock is a FICTIONAL character, and in actuality had NO opinion on that or any matter, and that neither he, nor Sir Arthur were physicists or, more to the point, geodesists.
Still, you’re a f’king engineer, fer crissakes. Start acting like one, stop equivocating, state the CORRECT opinion, be intolerant of the WRONG opinion, & stop embarrassing MY profession.
@@teefkay2 Whoa. Calm down. Take a chill pill. I don't know what your profession is, but somebody is definitely embarrassing themselves. Hint: It's not me.
My friendly advice to you-not as an engineer, but as a concerned human being-is that you work on your anger issues, and avoid situations that can trigger them. Like UA-cam comments. Clearly, the level of sophistry and humor in this thread is beyond what your sensitive ego can comprehend, let alone handle.
Feel free to rejoin when you're feeling calmer.
@@nHans I’ve been a working mechanical engineer for about 50 years now. You are confusing “having something to say” with “being agitated”. There are several personality traits that emerge in career engineers. One is a very, very thick hide. Trust me, there is NOTHING that could possibly be written in the comments here that could generate the SLIGHTEST wiggle in my GIVE-A-SHIT-O-METER.
I read your comment as “it isn’t important whether the earth is flat or spherical, because it doesn’t impact your world in any meaningful way.” If that’s an improper interpretation, I apologize. Over my career, I’ve helped “mature” about 3 generations of wet-behind-the-ears baby engineers, right out of college and knowing just enough to be dangerous to themselves & others, into pretty well-functioning real engineers. One of the first lessons is to distinguish fact from opinions.
Real engineers don’t say, _”the 2+2 might be 4”_ or _”the world might be spherical.”_
They say _”2+2 IS 4”_ and _”The world IS spherical”_ and “any other answer is stupid & (worse) wrong.”
I was reading your comment as _”The world might be spherical”_ and further that “the question doesn’t matter because it doesn’t impact my (ie., your) life.” If I misread your meaning, I apologize & feel free to clarify your intent.
Stupidity is rampant in this world, and, especially in this topic. Further, if the stupid person is receptive & polite, the proper response to stupidity is an occasional explanation. Whereas, if the stupid person lacks either receptivity or politeness, then the proper response is “pointing fingers & ridicule”.
But intelligent / competent people can’t let stupidity stand un-ridiculed. You choose how much effort you’re willing to spend, but your civic duty requires at least a small contribution.
Congratulations Dr. Ed, my name is Dr. Af Ool and I must say this is ground breaking work, I too disagree with the trends we see in physics today, what's the point of peer review when your peers are peons who don't think for themselves? We truly have lost something special, critical thinking itself seems to be a relic of the past.
Seriously ?
Congradulations Dr. Ed. My name is Dr. Goofy Brain and this is braincell destroying work! I too completely and undeniably disagree with actual 16 year olds who actually passed middle achool science. What's the point of per review when your peers are actual einsteins who have more than -4 braincellss? We truly have lost something special. Braincells! Actual science seems to be a relic of the past. Keep up your brain smoothening work!
Hello, I'm Dr. Dumas Bass, and I just wanted to say that what I have seen happen to my fellow flat earthers this past year is truly disgusting. People should be allowed to discuss their view on the scientific literature without being ridiculed!
@@dorol6375 Certainly, tis a shame.
@@dorol6375 im not sure if your agreeing with me or disagreeing. Short point is, the earth is definetely not flat and it doesnt take a astronomer to know that. I mean people saying that the earth is flat "As a opinion" is like saying that dog poo is better than pizza. Its just not correct whatsoever and thinking it is just a demostation of ones lack of braincells.

Glubulonormative is my new favorite word.
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75
