I honestly found the intro a bit Eurocentric. Statements like "84%...nobody thought the Earth was flat...medieval times...Christopher Columbus.." How about mentioning other civilizations in the Americas, Africa, and Middle, South and East Asia? How did WE all think about this? BTW, no scientist who sends rockets to the moon and the planets believe the Earth is flat.
Yeah I don't understand it either and there's no point in arguing about it just like religious people they are utterly convinced that they are right and nothing anyone says can change their mind look at the Sun put some glasses on if you do it looks like a sphere to me look at the moon when it's full it looks like a ball to me looks round there is a way that you can prove that the Earth is round maybe expensive but you could charter a plane just keep flying West landing to refuel and rest and if you end up in the same place you took off from say Florida then that should be proof enough to anyone that the Earth is round

Or that if you compare sunlight density it will be greatest around the equator (depending on time of year) and change with the seasons, which are all explained so eloquently by a globe and so mind-numbingly stupidly by all the competing flat earth models for each phenomenon, which can’t even be reconciled with each other much less predict anything

A leveler is designed to find the center of gravity. Gravity is pulling everything toward the center of earth. Therefore, the plane seeking the center of gravity will always stay level, hence, a straight line.
Well you sure got that wrong but I'll offer you a $1000 if you could explain to me( the scientific explanation) gravity
@@jaksonvice807 A plane stays at a specific altitude (distance from land) so when a plane is going from place to place it will fly in the same spherical shape of the planet.....
@@wolfy3885 uh huh
@@jaksonvice807 mass distorts the 3-dimensional space-time continuum. The greater the mass, the greater the distortion. Such that even the largest living organisms exert no noticeable gravity, but celestial bodies (ranging in size from the moon or smaller to the largest stars like Stephenson-218 and other celestial bodies like neutron stars and black holes) distort space-time so that planets orbit around the centre of the gravity well. If they didn't orbit (i.e. no momentum), they would plummet directly towards the centre of the gravity well and collide with it. So anything that had no momentum to orbit, was long since removed. Gravity is the weakest known force, we only notice it with celestial bodies because they are so massive.
@@kevininglesant2514 gravity is still hypothetical technically or I guess I could say theoretical to some degree however what really holds things together is God Himself ! that's coming from a man that science led to become a theist from being an evolutionist, atheist, Democrat, full circle to the Truth! think you can handle that for a change? are you still going to be trusting man and his nonsense?

From the cockpit of an SR71, I can assure you we are on a globe.
How so?
@@tiREV55 These are my guesses as a Cessna privet pilot: SR71 flies so high that the sky above looks black and you can see the thin layer of blue air below you. I'm not sure if the curvature can be seen from that hight. But SR71 can fly faster than Earth rotates, so you can see Sun rising from west if you fly west. In flat earth model the sun never rises or sets.
You would have difficulty the explaining how from the cockpit, and every other point of vision in a plane, the higher you go the horizon actually continues to rise to eye level when on a globe it should be dropping away below you
@@2000vph "But SR71 can fly faster than Earth rotates, so you can see Sun rising from west if you fly west" Intriguing! Is that a fact or a guess, as you initially wrote? How is Earth's rotation actually influencing air travel and flight times?
@@kaptainkrampus2856 Blackbirds cruising speed was about 3500 km/h and even at the equator Earth rotates only about 1650 km/h so you should easily outrun Earth. I think even Concorde did this. If your time of departure was at noon from London, it was still morning in NY at the time of arrival. Earth rotation must be accounted in some old school navigation methods like using a gyroscope. I don't know if they ever flow over Antarctic with Blackbirds but it would be easy task. Something that is impossible according to flerters.

Nah flath earth 🌎🤣 stuff the stup
Yes
Any object is *right-side-up* relative to the surface of the earth no matter where you stand on the planet, but if you're looking at an object planted on the surface of the earth BUT you're looking at it while positioned in outer space, it's a different story. Space does not have a right-side-up or upside-down, left or right perspective, it's just *"from one point to the next point"*
I like what you did there.
I think for me the sadddest part about this is the large number of people who have never been trained how to correctly apply critical thinking and data analysis skills properly in the world today. Many would not be flat earthers if they had developed this skills correctly. Instead they know that they want to question science which is awesome and a required thing to do but they don’t have the skills to ask the correct questions to get the right answers. Hopefully as time goes by are skills in these areas improve and we move past this idiotic nonsense
this is the best logical rational as well as historical and philosophical explanation about the question I have had forever about the flat earth theory " why and how the *** is it possible people think earth is flat"??" I agree with everything you have said.

@@randomtruth2176 "It's easier to deceive than to convince someone they have been deceived." As you've so aptly demonstrated (assuming that you're a flerfer.)
@davidmescher2526 I was referring to the part where we should believe anything the mainstream media pushes. They are all propaganda networks. Does that mean everything they say is a lie? Nope! That's not how propaganda works. Are you saying we shouldn't test all things? Or rather just blindly believe those who are "authority" figures. Yes, I'm a biblical cosmology believer. Or rather KNOWER. It took years to realize that. Before that, I believed like you and even mocked the idea. Then, I pushed the topic until only one side was left standing. There's now millions of us.

@@saifmohamed2967 yes literally yes. Cause that actually makes fucking sense
The level shows nothing, because that's not how gravity works. But even if it did work the way the flat earthers describe, this test would actually be proving them wrong. In order to maintain altitude, planes have to fly slightly nose-up. So if the earth were flat and the plane remained truly level it would be constantly descending and crash into the ocean. Now. This "test" doesn't actually show anything because it is based on a misunderstanding of gravity and it's a dollar store bubble level on a folding, plastic tray. Anyone who's tried to set a drink down in a plane knows for a fact that those trays are anything but level.

I'm not saying flat earthers have coming sense and I'm not saying you do either. The flat earthers are on one polar end, you on the other. You are so willing to accept what you're told, you could be susceptible to a huge "official lie.". And more likely than not already have been. The flat earthers are so distrustful of the "official" narrative that they reject it all. I find myself somewhere in-between. I only believe what I can see. My discerning brain realizes how easily a giant lie can be perpetuated by media. Media is the record of history. When you want the info from a day in history in a certain place, newspaper is the record for centuries. A simple lie in print can be historical record. We have a big media problem and I hope future generations will see this era as a mud pit of information/misinformation. -It's easier to fool a person than to convince them they've been fooled.

I'm no mathematician but even I know that!!🤦♀️
And calls people ''Globe Hugger'' Lmao.
There's so many things that wouldn't/couldn't be if Earth were anything other than a globe; it's ridiculous.🤷♂️
What you globe huggers are missing is that the round earth theory was created by time traveling aliens 3,000 years ago who wanted to invade Afghanistan wearing their Bush and Blair masks. They wanted a way of covering up their upside down planes.
What always gets me is the harness set ups that supposedly prove zero gravity.
1.The curve of rhe earth is so gradual that a small level will be useless. 2.If you put a level on a curved surface there will be a small point of contact where the surface of the level meets the surface of the curve and if the level is properly balanced then it will always indicate level.
You probably saw that Columbus movie as a kid. In The Magic Voyage (1992), Columbus thought the earth was a cube.
"Your plane can't go upside down!" So you see there's this brand NEW concept called GRAVITY.
They never spun a glass of water... spin it fast enough and water won't fall down, when the glass is upside down🤫🤣 Love it, flat earthers always let things out, they don't like🤣
Yeah and if that was true imagine the people who live down there, they would be falling like raindrops XD
They don't believe in gravity. Just weight and buoyancy. Funny thing is those don't work without gravity. Oh well.
It's a DLC
I wonder how that guy would react to space where there are no up or down. I feel like his mind would implode from the confusion and go insane almost immediately. Because even people who understand why, ready for it and all that are pretty much guaranteed to feel atleast a bit disoriented at times as a natural reaction but the difference is that they are able to make sense of it.
Those people who believe flat earth just can’t digest the shear size of the earth, taking a small global and a toy plane and comparing it with the actual thing is ridiculous..
They say the earth's curve is every 8 miles squared. 16 miles. A normal airplane flying is 550-580 MPH. If you divide it into minutes. Which is 9.17 mpm (Miles Per Minute) meaning you will travel 9.17 miles a minute, and lets just round to 9 miles. So that would be 72 inches for the entire 9 miles. So the plane SHOULD dip down quite a bit. 72 inches in that single minute. Which would make flying impossible. It doesn't do that. Why? There isn't the curve you guys are talking about. There is A curve, but it's way higher than a normal commercial airplane.
Arkzy I'm guessing you dont understand how gravity works then, it isn't something pulling you DOWN but rather the force of attraction between TWO objects. Comparing a plane with the earth is like comparing a grain of sand to a building.
@@prodarkzy That's because the wings generate a certain amount of lift with a certain speed, since the atmosphere hugs the earth (relatively) evenly and gravity is constant that means going a fixed speed will generate enough lift to keep you at the same rough altitude as you travel across the sphere of the earth.
Even if you can't accept that, flying it a "straight" line over 2000 miles would only be a height difference of 1333 feet, considering that the average long distance flight flies at 34,000 feet, this isn't that noticeable. 2000 miles * 8 inches = 16,000 inches / 12 inches = 1333.33333 feet Even with the longest ever non-stop commercial flight, New York to Sydney, which was 10,066 miles would have a drop of only 6710 feet, which would easily be correctable, or even doable, considering that that plane could easily go up to 45000 feet above sea level.
@@arthurmorgan9039 which gravity are you invoking? mass attracting mass or einsteins curvature/bending of space time? Sounds like you don't even know which one is the accepted 'scientific' theory.
Actually the bubble you show while within the limits of level was usually tilted more to one side. When I pitch drain lines the bubble touching the line gives me a 1/4” / foot. I’ve honestly never believed that the Earth was flat just wanted to point that out

the theory of gravity vs the truth of the shape of the earth _ no competition gravity is a fantacy word that every glober clings to tighter than their dark matter space blanky.
@BingGeaux I have a question. Do you believe that humans can make acurate predictions on where celestial bodies will appear in the sky?
No one can understand scope? Thats what it sounds like. Planes would have to steer down all the time. Hahahaha! 😂
But gravity is still a theory isn't it?
Well, that's just like.... your opinion, maaan...
At 7:50 Hi, the correct British English pronunciation of Cambridgeshire is "Kaym-bridg-sher" and not "Kaym-bridg-shy-er" The "Shire" in Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" is indeed pronounced as "shy-er" when it is used independently and not as a suffix as in Cambridgeshire. *So, Cambridgeshire is correctly pronounced as "Kaym-bridg-sher" and not "Kaym-bridg-shy-er". Whereas "Shire" is correctly pronounced as "shy-er" when used independently and not as a suffix.

Flat Earthers' so-called experiments remind me of my own cutting edge experiment to prove that there are more than one moon when I was 8. Here's how I did it: I went to my house's backyard and I saw the moon. Then, I went to my neighbor's backyard and guess what, I saw another one! Conclusion: there must be at least 2 moons. Genius.
And I'm sure you learned then that the moon is the size of your thumb, right, since otherwise how could your thumb block the whole moon--or should I say, moons?

Ferdinand Magellan !! It was him ( and not Columbus) who proved that the earth was round. He set out on a voyage and travelled all along the seas only to come back to the point where he started. You can look up about his route. And how he travelled across the seas/oceans. He was accompanied by many men, a lot of whom didn’t survive till the end. Unfortunately, F. Magellan was one of them. Although, he didn’t live long enough, he became the person to actually prove that the earth was round was travelling around it. 6:01
Try to go around Antarctica, and measure the circumference with your speed and time. Compare this with the distance of the South Pole /Antarctica shoreline your flatearth map. Good luck.
Flat Earthers claim NASA/UN/world governments block travel there. They ignore that the Antarctica Treaty explicitly forbids military presence. Who needs evidence when you have conspiracy theory?
The nose of the plane tilts?... Do they realise how big this planet is and how small the plane is?...
And when a plane lands, it will rise it's nose, right?
Richard Turnbull and how gravity works
First you have to understand how gravity works, I'm not sure you know what you talking about..
Also planes don’t go on a straight line around the earth they normally take a route which follows curvature. Don’t know exactly how to explain that but whatever
all planes are flying towards the earth, crashing into the ground
The plane would need to be 10 miles long to need to dip.
Thank you for doing the math for us. Those hard questions seem to always involve math and physics. I have never circled the globe but I’m sure it’s possible.
shit on em alexander!
I applaud your bravery for publicly proclaiming how stupid you are. For shooting a fucking bullet last a mile you need to compensate the curve of the earth.
No actually gravity is what pulls the level bubble down and since planes use the air currents going over and under the wings to stay at a constant altitude they would always stay perpendicular to the earth and therefore wouldn’t need to dip down at all no matter the size because if it got to your size the plane would no longer work
So at 37000 ft in the air and when earth starts curving wouldn't the plane be gaining altitude, so after a 5000 mile trip you'd be like 100,000 ft up? The long haul flights IV been on I never felt the plane to keep dropping altitude to compensate the earth's curve.
I love that they explain the flatness with a toy plane that is 1/4 of the earths OD.
Airplanes maintain altitude. Depending on the make and model of the aircraft and how it’s loaded, how much fuel is in it you may be level or nose up or nose down in cruise. Dude brings a level into an airplane and actually tries to outsmart hundreds of years of progress and science because he watched a couple KZhead videos.
If I were to set out to prove the Earth is flat, I'd go to the sea where we know water tries to lay as flat as possible. But wait, at the sea, you can actually see the curvature of the earth as you approach land, since land appears to be rising from the sea as you approach it.
“NASA employees with guns” I never thought I’d hear that sentence

I have yet to meet a flat earther in person but there's one experiment I want to try on them if I meet them. Take a smooth object that they can look at and at feel and have them declare that it's smooth. Then put it under a microscope so they can see all of the bumps and deformations that are on it. It's all about relative scale. A curved object, if massive enough, can appear flat. Just as a smooth object, when zoomed in close enough, will no longer appear smooth.
Or just ask them. “If Flat Earth is true than NASA is lying right?” “Right” “Than what would NASA have to gain from lying about it” “Errr” They can either say hiding god, or getting power But then that boils down to “Hey 4.1 billion people believe in god, that isn’t a very good argument” or “How would they gain power?”
That would just tell you the picture in the microscope is fake and you should do your research.
