  1. I’ve helped lots of flat earthers, the main issue is they have a very poor understanding of basic science and the heliocentric model in general. Because they don’t understand the current model, it doesn’t seem to make sense to them, so they start to doubt it. This is why education is so important.

  2. Hard to imagine how confused you’d have to be to think the earth is flat. But some people aren’t fortunate enough to have a proper education.

  3. Flat earth is just a joke dude, a few gullible people got confused and took it seriously
    7
  4. I think you’re a bit confused. Most people already learnt this stuff in school. If you don’t understand them maybe try talking to family or friends about it and see if they can help you
    7
  5. I think the video is just about why people are flat earthers, as per the title. If you’re confused, probably best to seek out some science channels instead
    6
  6. I think you’re a bit confused

  7. I think you’re very confused, did you not learn physics in school?
    6
  8. T Brown I suspect that Looming is your answer. That’s why its all so distorted.
    6
  9. I think you’re a bit confused. Did you not do science and maths lessons in school?
    6
  10. You obviously did not have a proper education
    6
  11. Dude, that guy is a well known conman, and he also has very offensive ideologies
    6
  12. I think you’re a bit confused, maybe talk to family or friends and see if they can help you.
    5
  13. I think it’s just religious people as some don’t get a proper science education, home schooled or religious schools.

  14. Content is great, but the comments, comedy gold!
    5
  15.  @Beastboytybenn  I think you’re a bit confused, have tried talking to family or friends about this stuff, maybe they can help you
    5
  16. I think everyone already learnt this stuff in school
    5
  17.  @ToketownG  Fascinating to hear from a genuine flat earth person, I thought it was just a joke and not a real thing
    5
  18. I think you’re very confused
    5
  19. I think you’re a bit confused. Maybe try talking to family of friends about this stuff and see if they can help you
    5
  20. Did you not go to school, I thought they had good education in Sweden. If you’re genuinely confused, maybe talk to family and friends, see if they can help
    5
  21. Isn’t it just a religious belief, I might be wrong but surely there aren’t any non religious flat earthers.
    5
  22. To be fair, it’s not difficult to be smarter than a flat earther, they’re morons.
    5
  23. X onerate The lights are flickering like crazy, I don’t understand how you can’t see that. Flickering is caused by unstable air above the surface, there is obviously a lot of refraction.

  24. I think you’re a bit confused, did you not do science lessons in school

  25. I think you’re a bit confused, did you not do science lessons in school

  26. Not sure if you’re serious, but obviously there is gravity on the moon
    4
  27.  @kellyname5733  Why do you think the moon would not have gravity, are you saying that you think the moon has no mass? There’s a few ways to calculate the mass of the moon, but the maths is quite complex
    4
  28. imtypingwords 41 These people are intentionally ignorant, no amount of proof will help them.
    4
  29.  @donpreston5053  Fascinating to read such a detailed reply from a genuine flat earther. I’m just a bit curious, have you told any friends or family about this, and what was their reaction
    4
  30. This comment shows how important it is to get a good education
    4
  31. Did you not learn about this stuff in school? If you’re genuinely confused maybe try talking to family or friends and I’m sure they’ll help you
    4
  32.  @RobL350  I think you’re a bit confused
    4
  33. I think you’re very confused, did you not learn about this stuff in school. Maybe try talking to family or friends and see if they can explain
    4
  34. I’ve interacted with quite a few flat earthers and it’s usually religious indoctrination or just lack of education
    4
  35. It’s just a bit of fun, it can’t really be flat
    4
  36. Great video. There’s a lot of money to be made from the vulnerable, FE is just a money making scam, as is religion. Both are groundless.
    4
  37. Most people learn this stuff in school. If you’re confused then maybe try talking to family or friends and see if they can help you
    4
  38. A flat earther from the Netherlands, must be super rare as they have a really good educational system
    4
  39. This is why proper education is so important
    4
  40.  @MichaelGlendinning  I think you make be suffering with paranoia, maybe try talking to family or friends about this stuff and see if they can help you
    4
  41.  @GeorgeJettson-u2y  I think you’re a bit confused. Have you never been to the beach? Water is rarely flat, it’s a liquid so its shape depends on the forces acting on it
    4
  42. T Brown Not a good example you linked to because the photo is very badly distorted, the atmosphere is obviously not stable. There is often a lot of looming over water due to refraction. I think you are being misled.
    4
  43. T Brown I don’t see how that matters, but yes I see it
    4
  44. But earthquakes wouldn’t work if earth was flat as they’re caused by the movement of tectonic plates
    4
  45. This shows why proper education is so important
    4
  46.  @jamesbuah6041  I think you’re getting confused by the Mercator projection which becomes badly distorted away from the equator
    4
  47. I think you’re a bit confused
    4
  48. I think you’re a bit confused, you can easily verify the pressure gradient for yourself
    4
  49. Flat earth is mainly a religious thing, or lack of education
    4
  50. I think you’re confused, the atmosphere has to move with the earth. In the same way that the liquid spins when you stir a cup of coffee.
    4
  51.  @beerman204  You’re a bit confused, up and down are directions relative to earths gravity, earth doesn’t have a top or bottom because it’s in space
    4
  52. I hope he’s joking
    4
  53. This is why proper education is so important.
    4
  54.  @willscholten1737  I think you’re a bit confused. That formula is a parabolic equation, it’s just an approximation that’s sometimes used for convenience.
    4
  55.  @rymillerjr50  I think you’re a bit confused, maybe try talking to family or friends about this stuff
    4
  56. They must be religious schools, you’d be savagely mocked if you tried teaching that in a secular school
    4
  57. I don’t think that’s possible, maybe he was just mocking you
    4
  58. I think you’re a bit confused
    4
  59. I think you’re a bit confused
    4
  60. Don’t be gullible
    4
  61. This level of ignorance is why everyone makes fun of flat earthers
    4
  62. It’s just a joke dude, you’re obviously not meant to take flat earth seriously
    4
  63. They’re either mentally impaired or religious, or probably both.
    4
  64. I think you underestimate the stupidity of flat earthers
    4
  65. I don’t know if you’re joking but I hope you haven’t been misled by Dubays videos.
    4
  66. I think it’s just a meme, you’re obviously not meant to take it seriously
    4
  67. I think YouTube has a legal duty of care to their users. Therefore they have to be seen to be doing something to protect vulnerable users from misinformation, and hence the disclaimers etc
    4
  68. I think you’re a bit confused
    4
  69. I think you’re very confused, did you even read the title of the video. In any case, you should’ve learnt all this stuff in school
    4
  70. If you’re genuinely confused then maybe try talking to family or friends and see if they can help you
    4
  71. This shows why it’s so important that everyone gets a good education
    4
  72. If these things confuse you then why not do some reading on it, or ask someone for help
    3
  73.  @genielove9067  I think you’re a bit confused, it takes a whole day to do one rotation
    3
  74. I think the issue is that every flat earther has their own crazy ideas
    3
  75. I think you’re getting so confused as you’re looking at small areas of water which do seem flat. If you can get to a beach you will see that the water is never flat
    3
  76. I think you’re a bit confused. The flat earth condition is usually caused by religious indoctrination, or sometimes just ignorance due to lack of education
    3
  77. I’ve interacted with lots of flat earthers and it’s usually religious indoctrination or just lack of education
    3
  78. I think you’re a bit confused
    3
  79. The title of the video explains what it’s about, I’m not sure how this is confusing you. Also, I think most people already understand why it has to be a globe
    3
  80. Did you not learn this stuff in school?
    3
  81.  @wizard1399  You should’ve learnt all this in school, if you’re genuinely confused then try asking family or friends to help you
    3
  82. This is why getting a good education is so important
    3
  83.  @susettemclachlan8765  if you’re genuinely confused then why don’t you talk to family or friends about this stuff and see if they can help you. I think you’ll mainly be ridiculed on here
    3
  84.  @innis2gbor  Did you not go to school and learn this stuff
    3
  85. I think you’re a bit confused. Anyone of normal intelligence understands and can prove the globe, it’s basic logic
    3
  86.  @rebekahstimmel9341  I think you’re a bit confused, did you not go to school?
    3
  87. I’m scared that this comment might not be a joke
    3
  88.  @mollykeane2571  If you’re confused by the globe stuff, maybe try talking to family or friends, they might be able to explain things
    3
  89. I don’t think it would make any difference for most flat earthers, they don’t accept photos. Education is the best way to help them
    3
  90. This is not correct, most of them have been religiously indoctrinated from an early age, and also denied proper education
    3
  91. Generally flat earthers don’t accept photos or videos as valid evidence. Education is a much better way to help them
    3
  92. Not really, I think you will find that almost all flat earthers are religious fundamentalists that are indoctrinated into religion from a young age. These people tend to be deliberately ignorant of science an evidence, they believe earth is flat only because they think the Bible says it’s flat.
    3
  93.  @BingGeaux  If you’re genuinely confused then maybe try talking to family or friends about this stuff and see if they can help you. I think you’ll just get mockery on here
    3
  94. No wonder everyone laughs at flat earthers
    3
  95. I don’t think they need any help in looking stupid. Also I think that DITRH is just a scammer, he got embarrassed on Prof Dave’s channel
    3
  96.  @tcsgirl6865  I think you’re a bit confused. Flat earth is mainly a religious thing, obviously there can be no scientific debate as there is no evidence for a flat earth
    3
  97. I think you’re a bit confused, did you not go to school
    3
  98. I think you’re a bit confused
    3
  99. Were you able to help your friend, or is he still a flat earther
    3
  100. I thought flat earth was only an American thing, now it seems to have crossed the border
    3
  101. I think you’re a bit confused, you shouldn’t just blindly believe what you’re told, that’s not how education works. I don’t know what your education was like, but mine included lots of demonstrations and experiments so you understood and verified what was being taught. Perhaps you have not fully understood the heliocentric model and that is why you have doubts?
    3
  102.  @Lowkeysmooth  I think you’re a bit confused, might be easier to use a search engine for your questions
    3
  103.  @vahagnmelikyan2906  I think you’re a bit confused, the Bible is just a story book. Did you not learn science in school?
    3
  104. Are you serious as I don’t think it’s possible for a geography lecturer to be a flat earther
    3
  105. I think you’re very confused
    3
  106.  @BrockMolden You seem a bit confused, most of this is very basic stuff. Did you not go to school?
    3
  107. Have you discussed this stuff with family or friends, if you’re confused maybe they can help you
    3
  108. You should have already learnt all this in school
    3
  109. I hope you get the help you need
    3
  110. This shows how important it is to get a good education, dude was probably home schooled
    3
  111.  @dlaurasmith7047  Everyone should know how to show that it’s a globe, it’s basic stuff that you should have learnt in school
    3
  112. Most people have already learnt this stuff in school
    3
  113. This is why education is so important, I hope they get the help they need to escape the scammers.
    3
  114.  @jvm66  Dude, it’s just for entertainment, don’t let it upset you so much
    3
  115. This shows why proper education is so important
    3
  116. If you’re confused then maybe try talking to family or friends about this stuff. I think you will just be ridiculed on here.
    3
  117. I’ve been trying to help flat earthers for years and they generally don’t accept photos of videos as valid evidence. Education is the best way to help them
    3
  118. Almost everything you posted is complete gibberish. I don’t know how it’s possible to be this ignorant, did you not go to school.
    3
  119. Why ask stupid questions in public when you could’ve just searched it and saved yourself the embarrassment
    3
  120. I think you’re a bit confused, you need to consider focal length and FOV. Also, I think many of those image were taken from lunar orbit.
    3
  121. I’m scared that this might not be a joke
    3
  122. If you’re genuinely confused, why don’t you try talking to family or friends, I’m sure they’d help you
    3
  123. This level of stupidity is why everyone laughs flat earthers
    3
  124. I think you’re a bit confused
    3
  125. This is really basic physics, did you not do this in school? If you’re genuinely confused then maybe talk to family or friends and ask them to help you
    3
  126. I’ve been helping flat earthers for years and they generally don’t accept photos as evidence. Education in science and maths is the easiest way to resolve their confusion
    3
  127. I think you’re a bit confused
    3
  128. I think you’re getting so confused as you’re not understanding that a scientific theory isn’t the same as a theory per the vernacular meaning
    3
  129.  @John-l1f4m  You should’ve learnt this stuff in school, if you’re genuinely confused then maybe talk to family or friends about it
    3
  130. Are you genuinely confused, or just pretending to be stupid
    3
  131. Probably just be trolls, but some of the comments are amazing.
    3
  132. Is this dude for real, how are people this stupid
    3
  133. This is why proper education is so important
    3
  134. Did you not learn this stuff in school
    3
  135. Are you serious? You can easily see that it’s a globe by everyday observations and some common sense. Flat earth is just a bit of fun, it’s not meant to be taken seriously.
    2
  136. I think nearly everyone already learns this stuff in school
    2
  137. I think you’re a bit confused, did you not learn this stuff in school
    2
  138. I think he’s just joking
    2
  139. I think you’re a bit confused
    2
  140. I think it’s more the older religious folk tbh, the younger generation are mainly rejecting religion and it’s archaic superstitions.
    2
  141. I think it’s just a joke, you’re obviously not meant to take flat earth seriously
    2
  142. This is why proper education is so important
    2
  143. I think it just good business to make flat earth videos, very popular, lots of views. You are right though, we should be worried, anti science and authority movements like this can have very dire consequences.
    2
  144.  @onefodderunit  I think you’re a bit confused
    2
  145. I think you’re a bit confused, we wouldn’t usually use mph for rotational speed. Did you not learn all this stuff in school
    2
  146. Well done for being honest and admitting the you’re a flat earth, most seem to be too embarrassed to be open about it
    2
  147. I think you’re a bit confused
    2
  148. I think you’re a bit confused, did you not go to school
    2
  149. I think you’re a bit confused, maybe try talking to family or friends about this stuff and I’m sure they’d help you
    2
  150. Brian Pigott I think you’ve not understood how far away Polaris is, scale is very important. Our movement around the sun is negligible compared to the distance to Polaris.
    2
  151. You make a really good point. All flat earthers seem to misunderstand the fundamentals of the heliocentric model. Education really failed them.
    2
  152. I think you’re a bit confused
    2
  153. Pretty sure it’s satire
    2
  154. It’s just for fun dude, you’re obviously not meant to take flat earth seriously
    2
  155. I think you’re a bit confused
    2
  156.  @super_ficial  That’s was so fascinating to read such detailed posts from a genuine flat earth person. Clearly for you it’s a religious thing, but do you think you would still be a flat earther if you weren’t religious?
    2
  157. Of course we should be trying to help and not insult them, but many are a lost cause. At this point where there’s so much knowledge freely available, you’d have to be deliberately ignorant to still be a flat earther, and many of them are happy that way. Very difficult to help someone if they don’t want help. I’ve tried plenty of times, with only a small success rate.
    2
  158. Did you not do physics in school
    2
  159. You should have learnt all this stuff already from school
    2
  160.  @Paull1398  I would check the maths yourself because flat earthers tend to be dishonest, ignorant, or both. For example the video you link, they’ve purposely used a basic curve calculator which assumes zero refraction. This only useful for short distances and will give a huge error over 160 miles. Obviously they did this on purpose as they could easily have factored in standard refraction, but then they wouldn’t get the answer they wanted. These conmen are counting on people being too ignorant or gullible to check the maths for themselves.
    2
  161.  @Paull1398  Yes, that’s right, if you do the calculation with standard refraction you get around 8,000 feet hidden. As I already explained the light is travelling over 160 miles, so you can’t just pretend refraction doesn’t exist as even a small amount is significant over such a long distance. I hope that helps, if you’re unsure how refraction works probably best to Google it, it’s not complicated.
    2
  162.  @Paull1398  Your second example is 123 miles from 150ft? This given around 6,500 feet hidden, the mountain is over 10,000 feet high.
    2
  163. I hope you get the help you need
    2
  164. Arc Angel Crowe I’m not concerned with your religion. I was referring to the ridiculous assertions you made. I wasn’t sure whether you were joking, but it seems that you’re sincere, so my initial comment stands.
    2
  165.  @aijleg1175  I think you’re very confused
    2
  166. Russ Adams Spot on there, the idea of a FE is ridiculous, you don’t need to be a genius to see that, just a little common sense.
    2
  167.  @MahanM85  It’s quite recent. I think it started as a joke, like a meme, then some people got confused and took it seriously
    2
  168. I think you’re a bit confused
    2
  169. This is why education is so important. These people aren’t stupid they just don’t understand the heliocentric model and therefore come to incorrect conclusions.
    2
  170. Please don’t be embarrassed to admit if you are a flat earther
    2
  171.  @ConstitutionalRepublic00  I think you’re getting so confused as you’re thinking of the vernacular meaning of a theory, scientific theory is much different
    2
  172. I think he’s just joking
    2
  173. I think you’re a bit confused. Anyone with normal cognitive functioning should easily be able to understand the globe for themselves
    2
  174. Yeh but he is correct because most flat earthers are so ignorant due to religious brainwashing.
    2
  175. Levente Deli Yeh I couldn’t believe it either, there’s lots of trolls, but there’s also some gullible ones who don’t realise it’s a joke.
    2
  176. I didn’t think it was possible to be educated and also a flat earther. I assume it’s due to religious reasons
    2
  177. If you’re genuinely confused then you could try talking to family or friends about this stuff, I’m sure they’d help you
    2
  178. Dominic Charvet I hope you get the help you need. God bless.
    2
  179. Is this dude genuinely confused by night and day, how is that possible
    2
  180. I think you’re a bit confused
    2
  181. perry barkhurst You don’t understand what a scientific theory is, go and look up the definition.
    2
  182. perry barkhurst Also that’s not how science education works, you don’t just accept what you’re told, you do experiments and demonstrates, you obviously did not have a proper education.
    2
  183. Flat earth is just for fun dude, don’t let it upset you
    2
  184. Basically everything you said is very ignorant. Earth doesn’t spin at dizzying speeds, it rotates once every 24 hours. I suggest you see a doctor if that makes you dizzy. Planets are not stars, you seemed to be mixing them up. Stars do appear to move in a circular motion as the earth rotates. Have a look at time lapse photos.
    2
  185. I think you’ve not understood how legal proceedings work. A court case is one entity or individual versus another entity or individual, and the outcome is dependent on the fulfilment or otherwise of each party’s contractual obligations.
    2
  186. I appreciate that not everyone is fortunate enough to have a good education, but it’s just common sense that it’s a globe. Not sure how anyone could come to the conclusion that’s it flat if they’ve really considered it properly.
    2
  187. It’s not that complicated, not sure how you’re so confused
    2
  188.  @chad2037  😂 that was harsh, I agree though, that poor child going to be so ignorant
    2
  189. Ian Martin The problem is that anyone who doubts that the Earth is a sphere, is mostly likely either incredibly ignorant or religious. The religious ones don’t care about any evidence, otherwise they wouldn’t be religious in the first place. And the ignorant ones are going to need much more help than can be given in a short YouTube video.

  190. gallaxi Not sue what you mean about water, I’ve never seen water in liquid form that doesn’t bend
    2
  191. I think you might be suffering from paranoid delusions
    2
  192. Dude, filter by newest those plenty of crazy flat earth comments
    2
  193. I think flat earth is just a joke, it’s not meant to be taken seriously
    2
  194. This is just religious hysteria
    2
  195. I think you’re a bit confused, did you not do biology lessons in school?
    2
  196. I don’t understand how you’re so confused, did you not go to school. Maybe ask family or friends to help explain things for you.
    2
  197.  @CHRIS50117  I think you’re a bit confused
    2
  198. mandy bolam Ok, cheers for the reply. Been fascinated by flat earthers for a while so interesting to hear your thoughts. I’ve no intention to try influence you but since you asked, I understand the heliocentric model and I have no reason to reject it.
    2
  199. This is why proper education is so important
    2
  200. Dude, don’t be so gullible
    2
  201.  @Johnnyholiday_seasson  You should have learnt all this in school. If you’re genuinely confused then why don’t you ask family or friends to help you
    2
  202.  @Johnnyholiday_seasson  I think you’re getting confused because you’re mixing up the scientific and vernacular meaning of a theory
    2
  203.  @filipossavides4716  You didn’t go to school and learn this stuff?
    2
  204. I’ve helped to reform lots of flat earthers, education is the best way but it’s not easy
    2
  205.  @tonyornelas9374  If you’re struggling to understand things then maybe ask family or friends for help. It might be more productive as you’ll mainly be mocked on here.

  206. I think you’re a bit confused, a globe is 3D, so obviously not possible to use as a logo

  212. I don’t know if you’re serious or trolling, but it’s very obvious that it’s a globe just from basic observations and common sense.

  214. I don’t know you’re serious, but if you’re genuinely confused then maybe try talking to family or friends and see they can help

  215. I thought it was just a joke, don’t think you’re meant to take it seriously
    2
  216. Sorry you feel that way, that seems like a very depressing outlook. Maybe you didn’t get a decent education but that’s no reason to remain ignorant, if you’re confused do some reading or ask people to help you.

  235. Not sure if you’re joking, but planes don’t need to tilt their nose down to maintain level flight. If you’ve ever been on a plane or seen one landing you will see that they come into land with the nose tilted up, this contradicts your assumptions. If you Google aircraft trim it should help you to understand how it works.
    2
  236.  @antjuanmcghee3762  Thanks for engaging. Level flight means constant altitude, it does not mean a straight line. I hope that makes sense.
    2
  237.  @antjuanmcghee3762  The instrument is called the altimeter and it works by reading the air pressure. The plane then trims to maintain a constant altitude.

  256. Carson Kendall I thought you were joking with your initial comment, but now I read your other comments I see you might be serious. I think the problem is that you don’t realise how ignorant you are and that’s why you don’t understand the heliocentric system. I’m not sure what education you had but you’ve obviously not understood the fundamentals. I would suggest you look into it a bit more thoroughly, or ask family or friends to help explain it. There’s also people on here who will help if you have specific questions.

  287. Not sure what is the point you are trying to make. I think you have not understood gravity.

  288. Tyshon Jackson Ah right ok, I understand. The approximate curve is 8 inch per mile, so it’s extremely slight. If a plane descended 8 inch linearly over the distance of 1 mile you think you would feel that?
    1
  289. Tyshon Jackson I think you’re struggling with scale again, satellites are tiny, earth is massive. If you look across a room how come you don’t see all the dust suspended in the air?

  290. Correct, theoretically it could bend all the way around the globe. But to get such refraction requires very specific atmospheric conditions, so in reality this is unlikely. I think that there’s been instances of people making observations from hundreds of miles over water. The Michigan observations only occurs under very specific atmospheric conditions, which is why these images often appear in the media as the event is very rare. If you took similar photos on different days and at different times, then obviously the result would be very different. If you’re unsure about refraction there’s plenty of experiments you can do yourself. The best way is probably to use a fish tank and add salt to the bottom of the tank. Salt water is more dense, so as the salt starts to dissolve the salinity will increase from the bottom and you will get a density gradient. If you then shine a light source through the tank you should see it clearly bending.

  299. Destiny Brown Its very simple but also very complicated. Simply it’s the weak force between bodies with mass, basically mass attracts mass. The apple is attracted to the earth, and the earth is attracted to the apple. The apple falls to the ground when the stalk can no longer overcome the force of gravity. Google the cavendish experiment which is proof of gravity, this is experiment is recreated all the time in schools and universities. You could try recreate it yourself, not that easy though.

  301. Håkan Pettersson You seem very confused, flights from the USA to Europe always utilise the jet stream, it would be insane not to. The Gleason map is a globe projection as stated in the original patent, so it’s a bit embarrassing to say that it’s a FE map. Like all globe projections it’s distorted, flight paths will not work on the Gleason map, especially in the Southern Hemisphere. Please let me know if you have any questions.

  340. Dominic Charvet I think you are confused and have been mislead, I only hoped you would receive help for your own benefit. If you are happy with your current beliefs then that is most important and there is no incentive for me to change your mind. You question my own understanding of the heliocentric model, I have been fortunate to have an excellent education to university level. As a result I have a very good understanding of the heliocentric model. I could not explain the vast number of proofs of the model on here, I would be typing for an eternity. For those who sufficiently educated the mere idea that the earth could be flat is ludicrous. If you have any specific queries please let me know.

    1
  344. Hussain AL-Hussaini Of course I would like to help you and explain everything but its very difficult on here as you have so many questions and misunderstandings it would be very arduous.

  346. Yeh the equatorial diameter is slightly larger than the polar diameter, but only by about 40km. Given that the diameter is about 12,750km, this difference is negligible, and you certainly would not expect to notice this with the naked eye.

  351. They usually don’t properly understand science and the heliocentric model and therefore come to incorrect conclusions. I’ve helped loads of flat earthers to understand the globe, those who are open minded are easy enough to educate.

  352. 1m views, not surprised, it’s a fascinating subject. I’ve been hooked for ages. Took me a while to accept that some people were serious, you think it’s just a joke and trolling, but there’s a few who sincerely believe it. Some people for whatever reason don’t get educated properly, others are just not that bright. It’s harsh, but some people are smarter than others, it’s a fact. To me it’s a preposterous idea, but to others it may seem logical. To try and understand the FE’s point of view is intriguing and I think this is why it’s such a popular topic.
    1
  353. I’ve helped plenty of flat earthers, their main issue is that they have fundamental misunderstandings which leads them to incorrect conclusions. Once these issues are resolved everything starts to make sense.

  356. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have a proper education. They’re just confused and don’t have a good understanding of science. I’ve reformed numerous FE’s just by helping to explain their misunderstandings of the heliocentric model.

  361. Not sure if you’re joking, honesty it hard to tell. Rockets go into orbit so they must follow the curvature of the earth. If a rocket just went straight up it wouldn’t be able to go into orbit. This should be common sense, so I’m not sure how you’re so confused.
    1
  362. Joe Hanson Firstly you need to understand the basics of flight. Aircrafts maintain level flight by trimming, usually this is done by the autopilot making constant small adjustments. Aircraft don’t have to pitch to gain or lose altitude, if you watch a plane landing you will see it comes into landing nose up even though it is losing altitude. Secondly, local atmospheric conditions, are going to have a much larger impact than curvature. The air in the atmosphere isn’t still, there’s weather systems such as the jet stream, there also other pressure and temperature differences causing up and downdrafts. The curvature is only a few inches per mile, it’s negligible compared to other factors. Hope that helps.

  363. I’ve not met any flat earthers in person as we don’t have any in the UK, but I’ve noticed some in YouTube, they don’t understand the heliocentric model which is why they get so confused.

  373. Steve I don’t think so, some are trolls, but there are some people who genuinely think it’s flat. I doubted it too for while, I didn’t understand how anyone could be that ignorant, that’s why I try to help these people.
    1
  374. Sergio GraceSpreading I don’t know if you’re winding me up, but this is exactly what I mean in my opening comment, you’ve completely misunderstood what negative exponents mean.

  384. At least you’re honest, most flat earthers seem too embarrassed to admit it. If you’re confused about anything specifically, there’s plenty of people here who will help you. Never too late to learn.

  385.  @inquizative44  ok sorry dude, you said you were on the fence so I thought you wanted some help to make a decision. If you’re happy with your current understanding then obviously I am not motivated to change that.

  386.  @inquizative44  Just to save you any future embarrassment, the patent for the Gleason map is available online for free, it’s easy to understand and it explains how the projection is made and what it’s to be used for.

  387. You may no know anything but please don’t assume that everyone is as ignorant as you are

  388. Nah never met one either

  389. Most people probably think its a joke, and of course a lot are just trolling, but there’s a few who genuinely seem to think it’s flat. I try, but it’s very difficult to help these people as they tend to be grossly ignorant. They will make arguments like, oz being upside down, gravity is a theory, moon light is cold etc. You think they are taking the piss but some people genuinely are that ignorant.

  390. Be kind, you don’t know what sort of upbringing these people had, not everyone gets access to good education etc

  391. Can’t help coming back to this one, so fascinating from a psychological perspective.

  392. If you’re confused, maybe ask family or friends to help you

  393.  @RackemDawg  Did the other comments help you, do you now understand where you went wrong
    1
  394.  @JamesGP89  if you’re genuinely confused then why don’t you talk to family or friends and maybe they can help
    1
  395. I think you’re very confused. People above have tried to help you on some points. I will help in relation to the dome reference in Antarctica, these are physical features of the ice sheet. Dome A is the one that’s 13k ft above sea level, it’s the highest ice dome in Antarctica.

  396. I think it’s mainly a religious thing

  397.  @Heracles_FE  Dude, people don’t have time to spoon feed you. Ask family and see if they will help you.

  400. Did you not go to school, this is basic stuff
    1
  401.  @dlaurasmith7047  I don’t know how you’re so confused. The shortest path on a globe is a great circle. Have you tried discussing this stuff with friends or family, maybe they can help you.
    1
  402. I think you’re a bit confused. Why put this here, just do a search and do some reading or ask someone you know to help you.
    1
  403. Not fair to mock them, some people are not fortunate enough to have a proper education. They need guidance and not derision.
    1
  404. You’d be quicker using google

  405. I think it pretty clear from the video title that it’s going to be about why people believe in flat earth. I thoroughly enjoyed it too, good video fascinating topic.

  407. Haha you’re on the fence, give me strength

  408. Hard to tell if this is a joke or just genuinely that stupid

  409. Most people have already learnt all this stuff in school

  414. You for real or taking the piss

  415.  @tysmokes2much006  Now I’ve read your other comments I’d say you’re just trolling.
    1
  416.  @tysmokes2much006  Ok, I will try to explain a few things to you as simply as I can. You seem to be very confused about atmospheric pressure and vacuums. Pressure at sea level is 14.7psi, it gradually decreases with altitude. This pressure gradient is due to gravity, much the same as the increasing pressures in the deep oceans. If you’re unsure about this, it’s trivial to buy a barometer and measure this pressure change. You will then be able to verify that you can have a pressure differences without a barrier. There’s nothing special about a vacuum is just the name we apply where the pressure is very low or zero. Vacuums do not have and ‘strength’ as you put it, not sure where you got that idea.
    1
  417.  @tysmokes2much006  In relation to gravity, this is just the name we give to the attraction of mass to mass. This attractive force has been verified countless times. You could try to calculate the force by performing your own cavendish experiment, although this isn’t that easy. The effects of gravity though are much easier to verify. There’s a vast number of phenomena that occur due to gravity, one being atmospheric pressure as noted above. A nice example, which is very easy to verify, is the germination of seeds. It does not matter in which orientation that you plant the seeds, they will always grow shoot up and roots down. This can be done a dark cupboard to rule out any influence from light. The plant is able to sense the direction of the gravitational field, this is called geotaxis. Try it for yourself.
    1
  418.  @tysmokes2much006  Not possible for it to be electromagnetism for lots of reasons, main one being that the type of material containing the mass does not alter the gravitational force. Whereas magnetism is heavily influenced by the materials involved. Gravity is always proportional to mass and inversely proportional to the distance squared, this is not true of electromagnetism.
    1
  419.  @tysmokes2much006  You’re obviously very content with your current understanding so there’s no motivation for me to try to change your views. We’ll have to agree to disagree on this one.
    1
  420. It’s usually due to religious indoctrination or lack of education
    1
  421. Do religious people go to school
    1
  422. Ekule Nwaiku You misunderstand the effect of the tilt, it is not the distance to the sun, this changes all the time anyway due to the elliptical orbit. The tilt changes the angle at with sunlight hits the earths, and therefore has significant impact on intensity of sunlight.
    1
  423. I don’t think that’s a genuine flat earther, the grammar is too good, they tend to be barely literate
    1
  424. I think you’re a bit confused, did you not learn about plate tectonics and seismology in school?
    1
  425. I think he’s joking
    1
  426. david kahil I wasn’t sure if you were serious, but now I see your other replies I can’t see that you’ve been misled by conspiracy channels. I think I would be wasting my time trying to explain as you are far too ignorant and lack fundamental understanding of the heliocentric model. I’m sure there’s a few on here who will try to help you but I don’t have the patience, sorry.
    1
  427. They’re just very confused, maybe had bad education or just low intelligence and gullible.
    1
  428. This shows why proper education is so important
    1
  429. Manuel85 Have you considered that maybe it is you who is ignorant
    1
  430. Yeh ask family or friends to help you or read some science books.

  431.  @mikepiperata1502  It’s just a joke dude, you’re obviously not meant to take flat earth seriously

  432.  @mikepiperata1502  Sorry didn’t mean to upset you, people are just trying to help you

  433. It’s just a bit fun, sure there’s always a few conspiracy nutters who’ll believe anything, but most people just having a laugh.
    1
  434. It’s just trolls and a few religious nutters
    1
  435. So sad, you sound really confused, I think you should quit watching conspiracy videos. Most of the flat earth channels are disingenuous and take advantage of the vulnerable. I suggest you ask family or friends to help you or do some learning from trustworthy sources.
    1
  436. Not sure I understand your logic, the whole paradigm of science is about investigating and questioning. Anyone is welcome to question any scientific findings, in fact it’s encouraged. Obviously people are going to make derogatory comments towards flat earthers, they defy common sense and dismiss thousands of years of scientific advancements with no basis.
    1
  437. You should really have done all this in school
    1
  438. I think you greatly underestimate the stupidity of flat earthers, this stuff is relatively tame compared to some of the other stuff they come up with
    1
  439. g13maverick I think you’re confusing level with flat
    1
  440. After the Storm I think you’ve not understood that Dubay is a conman, he preys on the vulnerable and ignorant for his own financial gain. I can only suggest that you look into it a bit more thoroughly, also there’s plenty of people on here who will help if you have questions.
    1
  441. It doesn’t work that way, if only it was that easy. You can’t help a flat earther with facts or evidence, as their position is not based on either. Their beliefs usually stem from religion or ignorance. Education is the answer but it relies on them being receptive, difficult especially with religious ones as they tend to deliberately shun science.
    1
  442.  @markwest9119  if you’re genuinely confused then maybe you could try talking to family or friends and see if they can help you
    1
  443. donald tracey Not sure if you’re joking, but I would refrain from referring to rotational speed in mph as this immediately gives the impression that you’re trolling. No one with any credibility would use those units. The correct units are revolutions/ rotations/ degrees / radians etc per unit of time. Hope the that helps.
    1
  444.  @TheRealKela  I think you’re a bit confused, most people are easily intelligent enough to work this out for themselves, even children can understand the basic science and maths relating to the globe

  445. It’s just a bit of fun, not meant to take it seriously

  446. Fascinating stuff. I’ve never met one in person, probably for the best as judging by the comments they seem to be incredibly ignorant, and bitter too.

  447. How do people fall for this nonsense, this is why proper education is so important
    1
  448. I refuse to believe anyone can be this stupid

  449.  @ROBERTPUNU  You should’ve learnt all this stuff in school. If you’re confused then maybe talk to family or friends and I’m sure they’ll help you

  452. Dave Rocha How stoned were you when you wrote that lol

  453. Flat earthers generally don’t accept photos or videos as valid evidence. Education is the best way to help them

  454.  @jurijnabukov9123  I think you’re a bit confused
    1
  455. They are just very confused and were not fortunate enough to have a proper education. I’ve helped lots of them, once they understand the heliocentric model they soon come round
    1
  456. That’s not what the videos about, and most people already know that anyway
    1
  457. Found a few in the comments section, it seems they blatantly flaunt their ignorance, or maybe just trolling.
    1
  458. Devin Smith You make some good points. It’s entertaining to mock them but not always fair as some people are not fortunate enough to have a proper education. Some just need a little guidance, and I’ve helped quite a few in comments sections. I tend not to bother with the religious ones tbh, they are not interested in science.
    1
  459. Some aren’t fortunate to have a good education, deriding them isn’t really fair.
    1
  460. Dirkardo StEvergreen Yeh I know what you’re saying, but it’s a lot easier to get sucked into the FE conspiracy if you don’t have a basic understanding of science to begin with.
    1
  461. Do religious people not go to school, they’re always so ignorant.

  462. I am a native English speaker and I have no idea what the fuck it’s going on about

  464. I don’t think that would work as they’d just make excuses. Education is the best way to help them.
    1
  465.  @mynamemylastname7179  That’s not true, I’ve helped lots of flat earthers. They just need a little education.
    1
  466. But many flat earthers are also indoctrinated through religion

  467.  @iqo5706  Sorry dude, didn’t mean to upset you. If you’re happy with your understanding then I’ve no motivation to change that.

  468.  @iqo5706  I just like to try help people out, didn’t mean to offend you. If you got any specific questions let me know.
    1
  469. Yeh agree, I don’t think there’s any who aren’t religious. They tend to be deliberately ignorant of science.
    1
  470. I hope they get the help they need, I’ve already helped loads, they just need some educating.
    1
  471. Lack of understanding of science and the heliocentric model. With a bit of guidance it’s easy enough to help the open minded ones.
    1
  472. I think you’re a bit confused

  473. I think it’s extremely rare in the UK, I’ve never met one.

  476. Hah

  477. First thing that comes to mind is how could anyone be that stupid/ignorant, but then not everyone has the same advantages growing up. Some people don’t get a proper education and some are indoctrinated into religion.
    1
  478. I don’t think it’s that complicated, there’s always going to be a small % of crazy people. Flat earth is ridiculous, but there’s also people who believe in Astrology, Chemtrails, religion etc. My point is these people aren’t rational, evidence and logic is irrelevant to them.
    1
  479. I think it’s just joking
    1
  480. This is why proper education is so important
    1
  481. I think you’re a bit confused, why don’t ask family or friends for help
    1
  482. In my experience, it’s usually religious indoctrination or lack of education
    1
  483. As far as I can tell they’re still trying to work out how the sun works on their flat earth
    1
  484. Carson Kendall Sorry dude, I stand by my comments though. Flat earth is completely nonsensical, there’s so many glaring flaws that I can’t take it seriously. I think you may have bias due to the way you bring religion into it and I can see that you’re quite content with your current understanding, so there’s no incentive for me to try and change your position. Still, it was interesting to hear your views.
    1
  485. Fascinating stuff. There’s lots of reasons, ignorance and religion are the big ones though.
    1
  486. Surely he’s just joking

  487.  @drewrich1048  I think you’re very confused, did you not go to school. Maybe try talking to family or friends and they can explain it

  488. Assume this is meant to be a joke
    1
  489. Always the religious ones who are incredibly ignorant. We’re not here to spoon feed you school science lessons.
    1
  490. To be fair that’s quite generous, if you interact with flat earthers it’s hard to believe they have a brain at all
    1
  491. Probably best to ask family or friends to help you with those questions. Or Google. Not a good idea to broadcast your ignorance.
    1
  492. /ASO\ I think maybe you don’t understand the heliocentric model
    1
  493. That was an incredible stupid comment, please don’t do that again
    1
  494. It’s just for a laugh, not meant to take it seriously
    1
  495. Basically it’s ignorance. To anyone with basic knowledge of science, the idea that the earth could be flat is laughable. Thankfully, education is improving, and obviously space tourism is getting more affordable, so FE will eventually die out.
    1
  496. I think you’re a bit confused, flat earth is just a meme, it’s obviously not meant to be taken seriously
