This Famous Gate Swinging Flat Earther Starts a New "Physics" Channel

- Yes Chris UK or as we all affectionately know him as, "The Gate Guy" has started a new channel called Kryptonite Physics. He thinks that physics is bad for the globe. Has he got this one right or are physics kryptonite for him?

Fascinating. Chris UK does deserve some credit here. I mean, my understanding of physics is poor but I couldn't make a series of videos comprehensively detailing my ignorance.
You're right. That really is an amazing feat!
beautiful!
@@MrGoatsy What you are describing is wilful ignorance. There is also passive ignorance, which is indeed simply a lack of knowledge.
..ya thats true... how to tell evry1 u dont understand physics with confidence..
..but well... admitting u dont know if the first step to knowledge... maby their is still hope?
I agree. He seems to have the basic understanding and skills to really get it. But he needs to appreciate what little effects he's dealing with and how hard it is for us to sense acceleration that changes very gradually. I think there's hope for him, but then I thought the same after my first viewing of Matt Powell!
This guy measures force in kilograms. Physics really is his kryptonite.
So it is not measured in Gate hinges? 😂
@@dogwalker666 🤣
@@jasimmathsandphysics 👍🏻
He can do that but need to be specific.
"Definition: A kilogram-force (symbol: kgf) is a unit of force in the gravitational metric system. It is defined as the magnitude of force applied to one kilogram of mass under the condition of standard gravity (9.80665 m/s2). One kilogram-force is therefore equal to 9.80665 N."
It looks like he missed a number though, the newtons are in the thousands and his kgf are in the hundreds.
@@Sylphina1 he missed alot not only that detail.
Text-to-speech. The hallmark of a professional video creator.
He might have been the original voice actor. Now, no one takes him seriously anymore.
Probably would be funnier in the TikTok voice. 😂
I know, right! What a shame. . . The only thing the guy had going for him was he sounded a bit like David Attenborough, so was at least pleasant to listen to as he babbled his nonsense!
Presents his video by not presenting his own video!! Fails at everything!
and even the synthetic voice seems to be confused about the nonsense it is made to say
I would love to see an artillery duel between a flat-earther and a normal person. Whoever survives, wins!
They would be nearly obliterated for not using Coriolis calculations but eventually decide the barrel must be bent.
@@Robert08010 Exactly!
I love that! Neil deGrasse Tyson, explains it well
I'd love to see that in Mortal Kombat.
Kryptonite, the rare material that doesn’t exist …. like a flat earth. That makes sense.
It actually does exist :/
@@Kyrelel You mean maybe Unobtainium ... 🤔
Superman returns stated that Kryptonite is a combination of sodium, lithium, boron, silicate hydroxide with fluorine this could exist though it wont be anything like the superman mineral.
@@Soundbrigade Unobtainium is just short for unobtainable element this could be because it don't exist or because it impossible to get hold of for some reason. Kryptonite is an unobtainium.
@@mattm8870 ..so basicly a midival salt/mineral battery...seems right lol
"today we're going to take about the Boeing 747" **insert video clip of a Boeing 737** 🫣
Thanks for beating me to that :)
He could just simply say "about airplanes", but no he need to show he is professional and he know what he is is talking about😂
It's almost as if the video creator is an idiot or something
Yep, he is a stickler for details 👍
They usually show an Airbus, Proves the quality of his research.
Him swinging that gate back and forth with some rock music in the background always makes me laugh 😂
Garage Band "rock" music, too.
@@AstrosElectronicsLab well I'm not really into music, but it's just the absurdity of it all, the intense music combined with him doing a mundane action while showing no expression on his face.
Idk why but it always makes me laugh
I don't even know what he thinks he is proving
Perfect meme material
I love how flatties are constantly like "if we were on a globe, a plane would need to constantly pitch down to avoid flying into space, and you don't see it do that, do you?" while at the same time ignoring the fact that a plane going along a parallel would need to constantly veer to one side to avoid drifting to a different latitude, and we don't see one do that either, do we?
Not to mention that the "flying" that planes do isn't even flying to begin with.
It's falling. Very well controlled falling.
The very reason that planes have maximum altitudes is because the air gets too thin to provide sufficient lift if you go too high.
Saying that a plane would need to aim downward to avoid careening out of the atmosphere is ludicrous even with such a horrendously flawed understanding of physics.
Planes with barnacles? Why would you need to careen them?
Perhaps "career" was meant.
@@frogandspanner English isn't your first language, is it?
@@GeneralNickles I speak English, not American English, in which 'fine tooth comb', 'fry pan' and 'careen out of control' are considered acceptable.
@@frogandspanner still convinced English isn't your first language. Google the word "careen". Go on. I'll wait.
To this day I still don't really understand what he was trying to prove with the gate 🤣🤣🤣
@Elmundo the Great therefor flat earth?????
nope, still don't get it.
I think he was trying to show that stars should be whizzing past us really fast 😂. Thats my guess anyway 👍
It took me a lot of time and even more vodka but my take is that even tho' the the free end go pro is moving faster than the pivot end, it still remains pointing at it.
Ergo, something something... where's that bottle gone???
Perhaps he wanted to see if the gate needed any oil?
@@elmundothegreat7237 It's a perfectly good gate. Solid workmanship, smooth operation, well installed. The gate, and whoever made it and/or installed it, deserves all the credit.
Such a shame that the gate is now world-famous for being associated with this bloke.
As a Physicist this guy is living proof that life does not necessarily imply intelligence
As a Nematode, I concur...
You are no physicist.
@@CadillacDriver Well there is no proof of lovetocook9078 being a physicist. I can surmise that they are more intelligent than any flat earther.
@@themc3311 that is most definitely a given.
I used ChatGPT to describe non intelligent life and it came up with organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and plants but I think that's being mean to these organisms, at least they can respond to their environment.

First I thought he would prove Coriolis effect, but it turned out he proved Eötvös effect. Well done, Chris UK
When you explained the "still going east" bit, I just before hand had wondered if trying to walk against the rotation is like walking the wrong way on an escalator that's moving slightly faster than me, and thought I was being silly. And then you explained it basically with the same principle and that made me feel smart.
I'm not a dumb person, but having ADHD makes it hard to grasp concepts sometimes. If I can do it, then Mr. Gate Swinger has no excuse.
Except it is NOTHING like walking the wrong way on an escalator. Walking "against the rotation" has no effect on your direction of travel as direction of travel is relative to the surface of the Earth, not the universe. If you are walking west, you are moving west. If you are walking north, you are moving north. If you are walking south, you are moving south. If you are walking east, you are moving east. Dan is just wrong on this point. The Earth's rotation is relative to the solar system. There is no east or west, north or south in space. Those directions are only relevant to the Earth's surface. Thus, the movement of the Earth in space has no bearing on your direction of travel.
You're bang on. Mr protoborg has grabbed the wrong end of the stick. Majestically.
Hang in there my fellow ADHD'er. I get what you're saying on that one. I'm also a bit Autistic on top of it so i REALLY feel what you're saying. Doesn't stop me from loving Physics and science in general even though I'd NEVER be able to do those darn maths.
@@protoborg Son, you’re at the “Peak of Mount Stupid” when it comes to this topic…..
Yes there’s no such thing as universal(?) motion, only motion in relation to another reference point. It’s possible to have a reference that you’re moving in relation to besides the Earth, in the way you’re conceptualizing this.
@@protoborg I think the local, "Earth-like" reference frame is supposed to be the stairs on the escalator, while the global, "universe-like" reference frame is any frame not on the escalators.
So yes, you may end up traveling down _with_ an escalator whilst walking up against the escalator. Just like you can travel east with Earth while walking west against Earth.
"Kryptonite is a fictional material that appears primarily in Superman stories published by DC Comics."
So kryptonite physics is also fictional. Checks out
What!!!, are you trying to tell me that the planet Krypton is fictional..........I am off to "Smallville" to prove you wrong.😁😁
Actually, no. Kryptonite is a very real thing. Well, Krypton is. It is atomic number 36. If it could be forced to bond with Oxygen, it could be called Kryptonite.
@@protoborg That’s Kryptonite Chemistry.
@@protoborg Sadly Krypton is a noble gas and the only compound is with Fluor, so all that exists is Kryptonium, not Kryptonide, Kryptonite or Kryptonate
He couldn't have chosen a more fitting name for his channel. It's very unfortunate that the irony is most likely completely lost on him.
@SciManDan Another great vid! 😄 Minor correction though: I believe you misspoke at 4:48 when referring to the effect of centrifugal force/gravity on cargo weight. You said objects weigh less on westbound flights. I believe you intended to say they weigh less traveling East, as the centrifugal force would be greater going _with_ the rotation of Earth (which would have a greater mitigation on gravity, thus decreasing weight).
Not a huge thing, but thought you'd want the opportunity to clarify. I didn't see anyone else mention it yet. Again, thanks for the vid!
The planet in that model is spinning WAY too fast. It should make 1 rotation every 24 hours! 🧐
That's not very exciting.
That huge plane zipping around the earth too.
6:31 "We explore this with known physics, no theories." It's hard not to laugh at all this. But all physics is theory. In science, the word "theory" means "study of". No scientist uses the term the way it has come to be used colloquially. What most people mean by "theory" is hypothesis, which is also something that is very scientific if you test it. My point is that "known physics" and "physics theories" mean the same thing.
"A plane is on the ground at a London Airport" cut to graphic with the plane in the middle of Asia
And it's a twin-engine 747.
Travelling on a latitude line well north of London too.
Here's a simple physics experiment at a Flat Earth level of understanding for them. Go on something like a train, so something that has a large open space travelling at a decent speed that you are free to move about on. Let's say the train is moving at 60km/h, and you are standing in the middle of a carriage with plenty of space around you. While the train is travelling at a constant speed, you jump up in the air, not touching anything else, and then land again. You should find you are pretty much in the same spot, give or take minor tweaks to accelerate, break or turn. According to Flat Earth logic, you should be flung to the back of the carriage, as you are at a speed of 0km/h, just moving up and down, and the train is still going at 60km/h. But the reality is... that you are not. Why oh why is that the case? What could it possibly be? 🤔
Yep. Nearly every Flat Earther argument I’ve come across can essentially be reduced down to their inability to comprehend basic Galilean relativity. It’s at the core of their obsession with the rotational speed of Earth. They always express it in terms of 700-1000 miles per hour. Of course they leave out the part about that being tangential speed on a path with a massively large radius. Never let them get away with that dishonesty. Make them express the rotational speed of earth in the correct “units” of radians/sec. Have them hold up a basketball and spin it at the same angular speed (not tangential) as Earth and then ask them why they think anything should ever be ‘flung off’ something that takes 24 hours to complete a single spin.
‘I’m too lazy to read a book on proper physics, so I'm just going to make something up!’
Tell me you don't understand physics, without telling me you don't understand physics

@@deepergodeeper7618 That's also why solar probes are better launched at night ...
If I throw a lot of numbers around maybe the people watching will be so confused that they don't see where I am going wrong. Courtesy of the gate keeper
What would be the key master's response to that? 😉
Its amazing how these flerfs get all these simple things wrong.
I'm pretty sure that Kryptonite Physics is a gated community😂
Gated, locked, and padded!
Kryptonite Physics makes sense, after all: The science behind a round Earth has kryptonited his brain.
How about “…after all: basic middle school Physics is the kryptonite to any Flat Earth nonsense.”
@@wishunter9000 That works too.
2023 and the gate music still slaps
@Lucas Gawor the stock music Chris UK uses on his gate video
This is the best theme music ever! When you hear this music, you know someone has, or is about to, mess something up big time 😂
@Lucas Gawor Hwah?
Slaps is too tame a word for how I feel about that guitar riff
yeah! slaps like a glob of puke in the garbage can.
I think that gate guy, 15 degrees per hour drift guy and cc criss Westchester county guy are my 3 favourite meme guys of all time
I’m the same. If I walked into a pub and they were at the bar, I could quite happily have a pint with them. However if Nathan Oakley was at the bar, I’d probably glass him.
The unholy trinity.
Don't forget cc's wife; The scimandan of westchester.
15 degree man passed away recently.
"You will not need a calculator." Well yeah. Teacher can't use one
Shame he doesn't put his effort into trying to understand the real world.
Seems like physics is his kryptonite really. Some good globe proof there. Nice on Dan.
Is it too much to ask? (Clearly…YES)
But once, just once…. Could a flattie do a video entitled ‘here’s the edge’ or ‘space footage of the underside of the pancake’ or ‘here’s the dome’
They won't do "space footage", as to them, space is fake.
If even one of them did that, then they wouldn't have anything to make videos about. Then we wouldn't have FE Fail videos to watch at home so we would have to walk the flat road to the pub to get some entertainment.
'The same object will weight differentLY'. Adjectives are your friends.
I didn’t understand anything gate guy was on about but neither did he!
So confident, he’s used AI voice. What a silly, silly man.
Well... have you ever heard him talk? There's not a whole lot of people who would understand his accent
The original swinging gate video was shot at Daniel Street in Rochdale. The local council are missing a huge tourism boost by not re-naming it Sciman Daniel Street.
He's using the mathematical tools in the wrong way. It's like a carpenter using a chisel and hammer to screw a screw in. Bless.
His audience is flabbergasted by his sparkly math though... and that's all that matters :P
'Gate Guy Unhinged' 😂
Flat Earth Philosophies:
1. "Reality revolves around my misconceptions and misunderstandings."
2. "If I can't understand it, then it can't be true."
And they don't understand much!
I love how he calls an effect that would not be noticeable without accurate measurement "massive". A person's weight can fluctuate almost as much the difference he attributes to flying East vs. West over the course of a day, and we don't notice it. And he also shows the force acting at an angle to the plane. The plane's orientation would always be such that the resultant forces act towards the floor of the craft.
What exactly was that man trying to prove with the gate swinging back and forth?
I found his other video. He had 2 cameras and was trying to show that due to the rotation of a sphere, sky objects viewed from the pole would be slower than the equator. It was stupid.
@@glitch1182 OMG, was that what it was about? I never would have guessed. So he imagines the radius of the earth is so great relative to the distance to the stars that we should see a vast difference. Oh well, its not hard to see why that failed. Actually, when you think about it, that concept PROVES that the stars are a lot further away than flat earthers presume they are.
@@Robert08010 I’m convinced 99% of flat earthers are severely lacking in spatial intelligence. They just can’t comprehend the size of the earth could be large enough as to appear flat until you’re high up enough above the surface to see the curvature, which is usually higher up than most airliners can fly. I wonder what their explanation for the Milky Way bands are, or for distant galaxies appearing red. They don’t believe in space which is just so limiting it’s absurd.
Chris seems to understand some parts of physics, but always seems to draw the wrong conclusion.
Precisely. This explains his location at the top left of the Dunning-Kruger chart. He knows a little physics - enough to apply it incorrectly and remain extremely confident in his errant conclusions.
@@glennpearson9348 I disagree. He is not at the top-left because he _does_ actually apparently understand Physics much better than most people (he's actually able to do the math, and did correctly calculate the forces involved in his examples, and even seems to be able to correctly explain vector addition and reference frames, etc, showing he actually does understand an awful lot of physics reasonably well), yet he somehow still comes to the wrong conclusions and is confident he's right and everybody else is wrong.
I'd actually consider him to be an outlier who is somewhere off the usual chart line. Really, I'd put him in "top middle" somewhere. This makes him actually very unusual (particularly among flerfers), so I am actually kinda interested to see where he goes from here...
Gate Guy was and is legendary. Been subbed since about then.
Gate Guy is funding Dan's kids' education.
Great start to the video "Today we're going to look at the Boeing 747". The plane in the video has two engines, but the 747 has 4 engines as Chris himself shows in his next slide. What a genius.
This sounds like he has typed into Chatgpt "write a script for a UA-cam show debunking the globe earth"
Oi Kryptonite physics, can I have some dressing for this word salad?
Damn. That guitar riff gets stuck in my head everytime... I find myself whistling it all the time despite not seeing the original video for years.
He should call it 'flat earth physics' but nobody other than the rest of the flerfs would go there.
Here is practical exercise to help people understand the size of the earth and it's curvature.
(this is metric because I'm an Aussie, mm = millimetre, km = kilometre)
1. Find a large open space, eg. a school yard
2. Mark out a 12.742 metre diameter circle (41.8 feet for the US peeps)
(maybe use a string 6.371 metres long and a peg in the middle to draw the circle line)
This circle is the earth at 1 mm = 1 km scale, 1:1,000,000 (1 to a million)
3. Now draw a 10mm (slightly less than 1/2 an inch) curve above the edge of that circle
This is how high passenger aircraft cruise (10,000 metres)
A 100mm (~4 inch) curve above the base circle is the edge of space, i.e. the practical end of the atmosphere.
The ISS orbits at 408mm (~16 inches).
4. Lie down and sight along the edge of the circle, and see how slight the curve is in practice.
5. Inside of the edge of the large circle, draw a smaller curve 30mm (a bit more than an inch) smaller than the large circle.
You now have an idea of how thick the earth's crust is relative to the globe.
6. At this scale the sun is 150km away (93.2 miles)
7. The sun is about 1.4 km diameter at this scale
8. The moon is (on average) 382.0 metres away and is about 3.474 metres in diameter (at this scale)
I bet he slept in physics class, but some information got through in to his subconscious.
He actually created an entire channel dedicated to highlighting his complete and utter nonunderstanding of physics. Amazing self own there.
1:17 He's off to a great start by talking about the Boeing 747, while showing a 737.
What I love most about Gate Guy is - I have NO idea what he was trying to prove. Plenty of Flerfs you can understand what they MEAN to say, and maybe work out what the misconception is. I have never understood the briefest second of Gate Guy. I don't think he belongs in this dimension.
It already lost credibility when they used AI to narrate it.
Have you heard gate guy speak? Believe me, AI is the lesser of two evils.
Sounds just like a game my family used to play at dinner time - Castle Masters through the Google Home.
Ah, another flat earther who believes they can disprove 2000 years of study by the entire worlds scientific community in their back garden using some,ahem, common sense
He believes there should be Space Wind!!!
This is it. This is the disscconnect! The misunderstanding from all flat earthers!
'never even causing a ripple'
meanwhile, THE TIDES:
Physics is clearly this old fellas kryptonite. He knows the words but doesn't understand their meaning.
hearing TTS brian try to explain physics while grossly misunderstanding it is one of the things on the internet
I lived in Whitworth for a few years. It's a shame I lived somewhere where its only legacy is the famous gate "experiment".
Physics is definitely a flerfs Kryptonite ,all right
Yes! The rock n roll gate riff 🎸
"Mind the gate, please!"
even the computer generated voice sounds confused by the mess it has to read out
This guy trying to do physics is similar to me trying to do brain surgery with my chainsaw.
you mean because they both make incomprehensible sounds and cause brain damage?
And with similar outcomes too!
I remembered the tune first, then the gate/camera hypothesis.
Gate Bro is BACK!!!!! 😱😂😂😂
The channel should be called "Physics is MY Kryptonite"
Said it before and I’ll say it again;
I’m waiting patiently for a flat Earther to tell me where I can look at night to see Polaris.
From where I live here in central Queensland, Australia. 😁
People that use text to voice I just don't. Kudos for you for being able to listen to that.
It's magic I tell you.......MAGIC!!!!!!!
You must love those graphics showing Earth's rotation, where 24 hours are shown in like 20 seconds, to give the impression you should feel the centrifugal force.
That old clip is worth a view just for that music lick that is now forever associated with swinging gates. 😊
One of my fav arguments for a spherical earth is the fuel consumption for a plane going with vs going against rotation...
You meant with vs against the wind? Fuel consumption wouldn't matter which way you fly if the air you're flying through is motionless.
@@mangojulie123. Are you saying a plane weighing less wouldn’t use less fuel, even if negligible?
@@robertt9342 You're right. It would be negligible.
@@mangojulie123 The Earth's rotation affects the movement of air masses, creating wind patterns known as prevailing winds. These winds are influenced by the rotation of the Earth and tend to move from west to east in the mid-latitudes. Flying with the prevailing winds (i.e., in the same direction as the Earth's rotation) can result in a tailwind, which can increase the groundspeed of an aircraft and reduce the time and fuel required to reach a destination.
My grandfather was a miner. One day he dug too deep and fell out the bottom of the earth. We never saw him again but whenever i see a shooting star i imagine it could be granddad burning up on re_entry
"Today we are going to look at the Boeing 747 " shows a plane that isn't a 747.
How hard would it be to find a clip of an actual 747? And why not put the plane Icon over London instead of Manchuria?
This man and this specific rock song are now legendary. This song should be named after the gate guy. Every time i hear this piece of music, i know i am in the presence of something really unbelievable 😂
When i myself, or others, mess something up, this song starts playing in my head,hahaha.
What are the chances that the gate guy is using this song, as his theme song on his new channel? Please, let it happen!
I will subscribe to the gate man's new channel. I need to smile more 😅
Oh wow, this is gold! This is his about section:
" This channel looks into the world of physics, putting physics in the simplest form possible , enabling a greater understanding for all.
Primarily looking at the physics of rotations.
Exploring what we think is unquestionable.
If something is a theory, you can QUARANTY it is not the only theory on that subject.
A great amount of people agreeing on a theory is not validity, it doesn't make it a fact.
A million people believing a lie, one person standing to say its untrue, will not be listened to. the lie becomes truth."
😂👍
I have been on many flights. Unfortunately, not one, was thrown into space by the centrifugal force of the spinning earth. Perhaps next time. 😂
I remember doing a similar experiment to his gate experiment when I was a kid.
It was me, a mailbox, and the flag. I proved that if you do “flag goes up, flag goes down” a lot that eventually the plastic flag would break.
Your experiment's conclusion cracked me up!
Life lesson learned!
@@Robert08010 indeed, but I kind of wish I thought about opening and closing a gate. Maybe I would have uncovered mysteries of the universe
I just got yelled at to "Get off the damn gate you'll break the hinges". To think I could have developed an entirely new physics if only my dad had been more understanding...😢
I've been watching this channel since the first gate vid, and I still have absolutely no idea what he was trying to prove with the gate. Welp.
I love how he starts the video with "today we are going too look at the Boeing 747", but shows a video of a Boeing 737 landing - what a numpty.
I love his robot voice, nice touch to make it sound ‘real’.😊
I came here for the gate guy and I stayed for the sanity
Speaking of centrifugal force, I suppose it wasn't just me, who, while reading "Rendezvous with Rama" by Arthur C. Clarke, realised there was no real force pushing on the glider, thus it would not... no more spoilers here!
Great book (series).
Centrifugal force is inertia. The actual force is centripetal and is towards the centre of the rotation.
If your reference frame is a stationary exterior. If you have a rotating reference frame then centripetal does become centrifugal.
@@vandalhooch9773 no. Centrifugal force is only inertia. Centripetal force acts towards the centre of rotation, it is the force that overcomes the inertia, irrespective of where you are observing it from.
"Golden nugget of Dunning-Kreuger" I lost it!
Also love the opening line about looking at a 747 while showing a 737NG.
don't forget the electrical tape and foam. the experiment would have been a complete bust without them.
Why is the guy using a robot voice instead of his own?
Quick correction Dan, everything you do in an aeroplane is relative to the airmass it’s flying through not the ground, if you’ve done your job as pilot correctly, then you fly a course through that airmass that will correct for the movement of the air so that you fly your desired track across the ground.
Keep attacking Dude.
I was going to make that comment, so thank you. 🙂
It is also interesting that gateman puts number to the effects of movement, and then fails to notice how small they are relative to the stationary case.
Of course, but the Coanda effect and others keep the atmosphere rotating with the earth (though with variations, due to its fluid nature and the other forces in play) so the motion is still typically analyzed relative to the ground. Except for actual aerodynamics, which is almost always relative to the airmass.
This is true for navigation as well, since very few destinations are in the air (except for in-air refueling stops, which are a tiny fraction of all air traffic). So we normally calculate airplane motions relative to the ground, and treat the airmass as a generalized force vector to compensate for it's relative motion to the ground.
@@heliumphoenix Eh Dude, that is biggest load of unnecessary word salad I think I’ve ever seen. It might interest you and inform your future comments to know that I’m a commercial airline pilot with over 30,000 hrs, I know how aircraft work.
@@johnmorris7815 - Sorry, "dude", but being a pilot means you know how to operate an aircraft and do basic navigation. Do you navigate based on ground based transceivers, GPS, or what? You KNOW that you treat air movement (i.e., wind) as a vector displacement when calculating headings to a GROUND destination.
It wasn't "word salad". Anyone with a background in basic Aeronautical Engineering (which I have) knows what every bit of it means. Arguments from Authority fallacies have no business here.
Lift and drag calculations, along with loading balance are calculated relative to the airmass. Navigation and motion are calculated relative to the ground.
@@heliumphoenix I knew what it meant, it was just utterly pointless to the comment I made and frankly I don’t care, again that’s not how aeroplanes work, my point and please don’t argue with it is that a pilot has to fly a heading to achieve a track and not the other way around. That is of course not the case in the modern world of area navigation, however the basics will always be the same and are taught to every pilot from private pilot up, even ground based aids such as VOR or NDB are flown by offsetting drift to achieve the desired track.
This is my day job, I’m responsible for taking 300+ people around the world every time I go to work, please don’t try to tell me how I do it.
I believe I started following you before that video or it was another video I saw first then that one.
Your channel has kept me sane over the last however many years
Science is easy when you devise your own.
The problem the flat Earthers forget is that the atmosphere is also spinning, not just the ground.
The most enraging thing about this video is the clip of the landing 737 as the guy is telling us we’re going to be having a look at the 747…
I was beginning to wonder how he did so much research for his information videos without realizing he was wrong, and then I was reminded that anything that disagrees with his view is a grand deception designed to trick us all into believing the earth is round for some reason. . .
Chris UK is describing the eotvos effect, proof positive that the earth is a rotating sphere.
The rock music always kills me in that video.
So...according to him...let me try to get my head around this...we live in a centrifuge. And when we fly...we live in a faster moving centrifuge....therefore....um....since my blood is made up of various parts which are heavy and light...the heavy parts we generally call the blood cells made up mostly of iron and the light portions we generally call plasma... that if I were to stand on an airplane...wait, wait, wait...my blood would separate...and...um....my feet would be quite heavy and my head quite light. Disregarding the narrow aisles, it would be quite difficult to use the lavatory. Right. Got it. But what if I were to stand on my head on an airplane? I suppose the loose coins would fall out of my pockets, the other passengers would think I am bonkers, and I would become a bobo doll, and would be unable to stand upright again. Ok. I'll try not to stand on my head on an airplane. But...hmmm....what happens if the airplane just lets go?....wouldn't the tangential force simply throw us off of this globe? Damn...it is 2:00 a.m. I need a drink after thinking this hard.
Today, we are going to look at a 747.....
Shows 737.
Video starts by saying, "Today we're going to look at the Boeing 747", while showing a plane that is not a Boeing 747!
01:17 - "Today we are going to look at a Boeing 747..." Whilst showing an aircraft that IS NOT a 747... Ohhhhhkay.. We see where this is going already! hahaha 😏😉
