10 Challenges For Flat Earthers

Hi everyone, it's been almost exactly 1 year since I posted my

flat

earth refutation as part of my astronomy series. That was the video in which the world breakers (opponents of the globe model) foolishly appeared, and their idiotic and insulting comment prompted me to create this little masterpiece from which they never recovered. Then I made another one, based on the ridiculous reactions I had to that video, to make fun of the stupid things all

say, or at least said until the video came out. And then I stopped worrying about it for a while. It was never my intention to create that type of content, but it was quite satisfying and I got ten times more views than usual, which I certainly appreciate.

But I had to move on, lest my academically intended channel degenerate into nothing more than refuting scammers. Anyway, it's been a year and I've done a lot of tutorials since then, so why not come back to this topic for a moment? This time I would like to offer some

challenges

to some of those left who are desperately clinging to this dying madness for some semblance of self-esteem. Let's call it: Ten Challenges for Flat Earthers. These are some basic things anyone can try to test the flat earth hypothesis. They are so astonishingly logical that the fact that you don't do them immediately is an indicator of your complete lack of intellectual integrity.

Let's get started and you'll see what I mean. Number one. Here's the flat Earth map that everyone seems to agree on. Anyone with half a brain can immediately see that this doesn't match reality, but for those with less brains, let's do a few things to prove it. For example, make a bowl. You know, a bowl? It's that thing on a map that tells you how far away things are. Look at this map. There is a scale. You can choose two cities and determine the approximate distance between them. Then you drive your car from one city to another and check if the distance is correct.

Now let's go back to your card. What is the scale here? Why don't you ever give one? Is that because it's impossible? Yes, that's exactly why. And if you don't agree, here's your challenge. Choose a distance on this map. A centimeter, an inch, whatever. Tell me how far it corresponds in real life. Then choose two cities and use your scale to determine the distance between them. Pick two on the same continent, pick two on different continents. Use it to tell me how wide this disproportionately huge ocean is. Use it to tell me anything about the distance between anything.

If you can't do that and your numbers don't match reality in the slightest, repeat that this card works fine and then admit that your card is stupid. His complete inability to create any kind of remotely correct map without the help of others proves that the Earth is not flat. But let's move on for fun. Number two. As we all know, the existence of Antarctica causes a big problem for it. When it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere, you like to imagine the sun moving toward the tropics, making the days longer here and shorter in the Southern Hemisphere.

And then when it's winter in the north, you like to place the sun in the other tropic, which you think in the north causes the shorter days you want, but in the south it's total chaos. You are allowing the sun to travel this huge path, which would leave everything here in darkness for most of the day, when in reality there are long periods of time in Antarctica when the sun never sets. Since your cute little sun can never illuminate this huge fantasy ice wall at once, this completely destroys your model, so you resort to conspiracy thinking.

You simply deny that this midnight sun ever happens, while claiming that no one can go to Antarctica to verify it for themselves because the government/NASA/Jews/penguins will kill you. Well, aside from all the commercial cruises, citizens can even apply for jobs in Antarctica, so you can go there and see for yourself. But in reality it is not necessary to go to Antarctica. Just go to the tip of South America, like this town where people live. Or don't even go there, just look up sunrise and sunset times on the Internet. In mid-December, the sun rises before 5 in the morning and sets after 10 at night.

Now take your model for the seasons and make sure it is visible day and night. Then try to match the proportions of day and night to these sunrise and sunset times. Show that sunlight illuminates this location for more than 70 percent of its path. And while you're doing that, make sure Point Barrow, Alaska, or whatever, doesn't light up the entire way, because that town goes straight through the night this time of year. Indeed. Lots of sun here, no sun there. Success with it. If you decide to try it, notice that the light patterns become so absurd that even the heaviest meth-using creatives can't muster enough magnetism to justify it.

If you can't get your model to display the seasons and the day-night rhythm at the same time, as I demonstrated almost a year ago is not possible, then seriously consider shutting your mouth forever. Number Three. Here's an idea. What would happen if you actually made a prediction with your model? Any prediction. You know, that thing you have to do to make it scientific Choose a celestial body. A planet. A comet. A star. Now select a time in the future. And even though you're just using the flat earth model and nothing else, tell me where it will be at that point.

If you can't do this, and I know you can't, then consider admitting that your model is absolutely irrelevant. People who really understand the geometry of the Earth and the solar system can predict an eclipse, specify its beginning and end to the second, and predict its precise path to within a square mile. If that happens only once, it means that the model used to make the prediction has been inescapably verified and happens every time. Anyone who doesn't see the importance of this has no idea how science works. Number four. After destroying pretty much all of your favorite statements in my previous videos, you're now sticking primarily to the "I shouldn't watch this" argument.

You like this because you can lie about heights and distances, incorrect math can work, and you can generally act. in disbelief without having to do any science Well, every time you complain about this, the objects are suspiciously close, so you can alter the quantities, and there is always water in the middle, so you can lie about the refractive effects to people. They have no idea how refraction works. So try this one on for size. Show me a picture of something on earth that is a thousand miles away. After all, it's a straight shot, so what's the problem?

Use a telescope. Isn't that where you have your strange meeting? Maybe they should try doing something productive instead of just blindly promoting the dumbest hoax on the internet. Number five. Speaking of things that are far away, you guys love to whip out your Nikons so often that I wouldn't be surprised if a Nikon employee came up with the whole flat earth hoax as a viral marketing campaign. You pick up that ship that's far away, focus on it, and then admire your own brilliance for knowing how to use a camera. Okay, then try this one. Keep looking at the ship.

Don't remove it from the scene. Keep looking at it until it disappears. How does the ship disappear? The bottom one first. As usual. I wonder why you never put that on YouTube. Number six. The funniest thing about the flat Earth model is that the most mundane and everyday observations have no place at all in its model. Like a sunset. A small sun on a flat Earth would simply retreat high into the sky, getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared completely. It certainly would not maintain the same angular size and would disappear below the horizon. It remains the same size because it is incredibly far away and disappears below the horizon because the Earth is a rotating sphere.

Even a small child can understand this. It's so obvious that you'll have to resort to your typical ad hoc antics, talking about refractive effects that defy all logic and somehow magically only apply to the sun and nothing else. Or better yet, some of you are talking about a dome with the sun on the other side producing some strange optical effect. Aside from the absurdity of this magic dome that no one has ever seen or touched, it's causing you big problems because you also say that the sun and moon exhibit other types of magic to push air and water.

That requires it to be inside the dome. So what is it now? Is the sun outside the non-existent magic dome so you can imagine the sunset, or is it inside the non-existent magic dome so you can imagine the tides? It can't be both. Or if you keep sticking with the dome and saying it's just water, how can all those water molecules that make up about one percent of the atmosphere cause a refractive effect a thousand times stronger than that of liquid water? How is it possible that the appearance of a sunset never differs, whether it is dry or wet or raining?

Why does nothing except the sun behave this way? Show me a missile or a plane that disappears below the horizon as it gets further and further away. Or show me this dome and explain the phenomenon with more than buzzwords. Do something to explain a sunset. Do more than just make idiotic videos with action movie soundtracks that aren't up to par with high school science. Number seven. What is a lunar eclipse for you? Real. Explain something about a lunar eclipse. The things you say about solar eclipses are pretty stupid, but at least you have something to say.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is between the sun and the moon. Precisely. Between. These two objects are not always above a plane, and you know it, which is why it says nothing about lunar eclipses. And if you're going to imagine that there is another object besides the Earth that is eclipsing the Moon, good luck proving its existence. Number eight. Since we're talking about a small sun and moon near Earth, what's stopping you from strapping a camera to a weather balloon and sending it there? Take a closer look at these two objects and take some photographs.

If you get handy with some robotics, which would be a big deal considering your complete lack of education, you might even be able to collect a little monster. Maybe the moon is made of cheese. You can't even get to the middle, causing the sizes to change? Reach for the sky, boys. Number nine. Take some flights. Like a direct flight to the southern hemisphere. Oops! Shouldn't that be impossible? Better yet, fly between two cities in two different ways, the shortest path in the world and the shortest path on the flat Earth. What do you think, which path will be faster?

Just kidding, I know none of you will have a job long enough to afford a private plane. But the next time you travel on a regular plane, make sure that flights heading east or west don't veer slightly to one side, as you seem to think they should. Yes. You would notice. If humanity is so unlucky that it has reproduced, send your child to the cockpit to meet the pilot and take a photo of the steering wheel. You know, straight as an arrow. And the number ten. Do something scientific, anything. Post something about your model on something reputable, anywhere.

Make sure you invent some technology based on your model. Do something that can be considered real empirical science. Here's a hint, maybe you guys have to study some real science to do it, but then of course you'll immediately discover that the Earth isn't flat, so it probably won't make much difference. Those were the ten

challenges

. I say the word challenge jokingly, because everyone will immediately see my humor and resort to insults against me as comments on this video. You flat earth priests, with your waste of space channels, know very well that doing anything that even remotely resembles the empirical will destroy your delusion, no matter why you cling to shouting about conspiracy and almost nothing else.

And all you bunch of mindless followers who continue to hold on to the one thing that makes you feel special, maybe 2020 will be the year you finally get a clue and move on with your lives. There is a whole spherical world, a world full of people who will not immediately make fun of you or be ashamed to meet you. There are many ways to really be someone even minor. I know I've been hard on you, but I'm with you. All you have to do is distance yourself from these charlatans who lie for a living. Save the ten dollars for a super talk and buy yourself some dignity, or even put it into a college fund so you can go to school and learn something useful.

The choice is yours. Good luck and have a good evening.
