Great to have that demonstrated how much effort that is to determine one single measurement. Hours of work, hours of preparation, 25 minutes of video to halfway explain it - and the flat earthers demand "prove to me the earth is a spinning globe, without numbers, without formulas, without images, but it must be totally convincing for me. You have 10 seconds. Go."
& yet even more legit/competent adult evidence that clearly shows how well the globe works & just how ridiculous flat erf claims indeed are. 👍Wonder if I even want to know the backstory to this 🤔
Backstory is that as more people do this it debunks flat earth because obviously on a flat earth, the length of an arcminute of longitude will simply increase linearly with distance from the center. However, on a globe -- And in Reality -- the length of a longitudal arcminute gets longest at the equator, then starts getting smaller as you progress southward beyond the equator. So this is basically checkmate against flat earth because anybody anywhere can use simple tools to measure the length of a minute of longitude at their location, and this shows that the surface is not flat. I am hoping more people all around the globe will do this experiment and publish their results!
@@fromjesse Gotcha, nice work as always. I figured that was the main idea but just thought maybe it also was in response to some recent specific bit of derp. I wouldn't use the word faith but it really is something how they don't at least "trust" science & the thousands of experts who got us where we are since the dawn of BIG thinking. & not only that but, to actually proclaim they know WAY better while simultaneously providing literally nothing except nuh uh is what makes this whole FE phenomenon sad, absurd, aggravating & funny AF, all in one. Anyway, it's like a catch 22, on one hand the best thing we could do is just ignore them but on the other, there clearly ought to be at least 100 debunks for every single one of their silly public proclamations. Which is why I learn towards supporting any such informative/educational content, it's about the only silver bullet IMO.
@@fromjesse Since the flerfs love Google Earth they could easily find East/West runways all around the world and test this for themselves with very little effort and zero expense. They won't even do that so don't hold your breath waiting for them to do a real experiment like you have. Great video!!!
@@realcygnus I think it was Wally who did it with runways and others have done it using roads and even entire countries. CHL did something similar using Australia vs the USA if I recall correctly. Flerfs will of course avoid any such experiment like the plague.

That's great! Thank you!
Excellent piece of work.

You have 10 seconds.
Go."
That pretty much sums it up most of the time, but now and again I do have an interesting discussion!
Just getting perpendicular to the wall was a lot of work.
Thanks for the conversations and these demonstrations.
Thank yo for checking it out!
EDM usually has more rhythm to it. ;)
This is really cool! 👍
We’re looking at you, Travis… give us the cab driver take on Jesse’s demonstration 🙂
And PS Travis, watch out for guys with trundle wheels! I'm hoping more people will help in this experiment!
I wonder why he doesn't show up, he must be on holiday for the aether band tour.
На моей 56 широте, одна минута равна всего 1040 метров :)
This experiment would be easier for you than it was for me! You have to push the wheel less distance!
Да

@@sendintheclowns7305 Yup, I think it was either wolfie or wally who had already done just that several years ago now.
