10:30 the second part of the question implies that he needed to measure both places at the same exact time on the same day
the answer being that it only needs to be measured at the same exact time if you walked directly east or west
if he walked north or south he could have measured the shadows months apart and it would still work because the shadow cast at noon would be longer further from the equator
I didn't even look at a map until after i realized it, and he indeed went north/south like i thought.

One of the important things most people just cant get their head around is the SCALE.
Thanks for the example with the circle. But this is biggest flaw in all debunking videos of flat earth - and also yours. You make some graphics that are absurdly misleading. And THIS is what the people see! They see a small circle with an absurd huge person standing on there. They CANNOT abstract to the real scale.

The Bematist thing is actually fascinating. One of those "little" roles in history that you wouldn't even think of but in hindsight was probably an incredibly crucial role throughout history.
@esperan2k Says:
The only thing I ever liked about the whole flat earth thing is that the world map looks kinda cool. It's also easier for plotting large distances.
@Deathwish777 Says:
my point to debunk flat earthers is the ocean, specifically when you see a huge boat coming from far away. more and more of the boat shows itself as if its rising from the ocean. that's because the world is round, if it were flat the entirety of the boat would be seen once it gets in your vision.
@Capybara-d1z Says:
The idea of a flat Earth is monumentally stupid. Like bro, you mean to tell me every single planet in the universe is a sphere except for Earth?
@zeeegeee Says:
Why do they think every observable planet in the solar system is a sphere if we're flat?

Atmospheric refraction bending the light has to be taken in to consideration when looking at the horizon.
@Rurike Says:
The one that always gets me is their insistance that the sun somehow works like a spotlight to explain away the day and night cycle, but this spotlight also has to warp its area of effectiveness through the seasons to explain the timezones and different day lengths we see across the earth, sometimes into very bizarre shapes to explain total darkness/light at the poles

@ADemonSoup Says:
I love how there’s literally a video of Flat Earthers trying to prove themselves right with extremely advanced tools. But then end up proving themselves WRONG in vain of their original claim 😂
@moussamiller4812 Says:
there’s also the fact that airplanes dont take the “straight path” as displayed on the maps
@Kayessee Says:
Flatards ignore the stars of the southern hemisphere. Soooo stupid. ALL of the flatards ignore evidence and when they don't ignore it, they claim it's faked.

Flat earthers are just contrarian, they have no faith in their belief.

Why do we our satellites/vessels accelerate going around planets and moons if gravity "ain't a thing"? Oh and they do it in a repeatable, predictable and reliable manner where those "tricky maths all add up and stuff"

2:56 Or it could have something known as a _meniscus_ ,which is always a wrench I like to throw into their arguments
@larspehrsson6261 Says:
2:44. It is curving. Let’s do the math.
The Earth’s radius is about 6.37 million meters. A wine glass? Let’s say it’s 8 centimeters wide. That’s 0.08 meters.
Now, if we calculate how much the surface of water would sag due to Earth’s curvature over that tiny distance, we get…
Wait for it…
0.0000000001 meters.
That’s 0.1 nanometres.
That’s a thousand times smaller than a speck of dust. Smaller than a single virus. Basically, atomic scale.
So yes it is curving, but good luck measuring it.

no bullshit.. i could tell that line was curved ever so slightly

So, perspective is angles. ✅

Dude, your argument is so
Childish. Water doesn't curve, water finds its level.

You could not put someone six miles away at six feet tall and see them according to the math of the curvature of the earth by your scientist you moron

@randallpittman3498 Says:
Flat-Earth-Theory is a great example where a very common logic issue can take you: Assuming something is true until proven false, or alternatively assuming something is false until proven true. People tend to find solace in holding a religious faith in such precepts, rather than accepting the difficult truth that the observable world is not so provable. Descartes ran into this problem quite a while ago.

Same people who disregard Eratosthenes measurement of earth size because they were too primitive and "i don't know how they could've done it. I don't believe it" are the same people who'll believe in super advance ancient civilizations like Atlantis.

The Moon looks bigger when seen with a background like a city. It's a optical illusion when we try to put the Moon in the perspective of the background.

I think their biggest problem is they don't understand how big the Earth is and how small we actually are in this universe.

I know it's not scientific to believe something when the evidence clearly states otherwise, but I still refuse change my belief.
I just simply cannot believe there are actual flat earthers who are not trolling.

@jacofoot9940 Says:
You harp on perspective so much yet you failed to provide the simplest method of proving the constant size of stellar bodies.
Stick your arm out fully and compare the size of the moon to the size of your thumb. Do this when it's on the horizon and then again when it's high in the sky. You'll instantly notice it's the same size both times.
@marcrindermann9482 Says:
talking about changing constellations, I'm European living in Australia, there are constellations here I could not see at all at no point in time in Europe that I can see here and vice versa. On top of that, the Moon is upside down in Australia compared with the Moon in Europe.
@Reddragon5002 Says:
A point about the full moon on the horizon illusion. Take a picture of it with your phone, and then again when it's high in the sky with no zoom. It won't appear to change size because a camera sensor doesn't get tricked like our brains.

@MikeBowler-n9g Says:
mate at around 5:12 this video starts to stink of arrogance, right or wrong in objective fact does not equal right in bringing your point across, if your tone conveys you looking down on others thinking that your superior knowledge equals superior being
also in your flat earther video you made some equation terms negligible, which i understand, because it would be wasted calculation, but if you need to compare negligible distances then those negligible terms matter for bringing in higher precision and you didn't bother to make those comparisons prior to the 5 minute point of this video
this video is reasonable science, done badly
learn to be humble
