He really doesn't get how thoroughly (and obviously) it debunks his entire argument. It's funny that his only explanation is gravitational potential energy, while claiming that gravity doesn't exist.
someone should suggest to Prof Dave a sutble change to his slide of a hand supporting the ball from below e.g. have it in the grip of pincers or fingers at the *side* . A minor change but a pyschologically powerful one as it forces you to focus on direction.
@@Xeract The fun part is... we can calculate that potential energy and make calculations and thus predictions with it. It would be very interesting to just ask them for a formula. Can they calculate how fast a ball is after falling for 2 seconds without using any of the formulas that include gravity? Can they actually calculate the 9,81m/s²? We can do all that, by using newtons gravity (F = G * m(1) x m(2) / r²), which is outdated, but accurate enough for effects on earth. If you then also consider that a = F / m(1) we can conclude that a = G * m(2) / r² and since the gravitational constant, the mass of the earth (m(2)) and the distance of most objects from the mass center of the earth (r) is mostly the same we get the pretty constant 9,8 m/s², which we do have to correct based on location for centrifugal forces (I think this makes up about 0,03m/s²). And actually everyone can use this formula. Just looking at the dimensions, G is in the dimension of 10^-11, the mass of the earth 10^24 and the distance to the center 10^6, if you put just those numbers into the formula your result will be 10, which even ignoring the number in front of the scientific way to write large numbers you get pretty close to the actual value. So this just works... It is super ridicolous to look for another method to calculate something, given that gravity already provides us with an accurate way to do so. Now we could argue that it doesn't fit with all edge cases, which was true for newtons gravity, which is why we adopted a more advanced form. But it is hard to imagine that those basic rules we use on earth are just wrong.
I like how he uses buoyancy, pressure, potential energy and density to 'prove' that there is no gravitational force even though the definition of each of these involves forces and in these particular cases the force is gravity.
Not to mention, if things fall "down" due to density: it's less dense "up". So, if things fall towards less dense things: everything should fall "up". Flatzoid is an idion.
I think the most painful part is he misses the formula for pressure when he looks up the definition to try to prove himself correct; P= F/A.... Pressure isn't a force..
It's amazing to see those kind of people doing their best to avoid any mention of a force pulling the objects toward the ground. It's like watching someone trying to explain "humidity" without acknowledging the existence of water. :'D
@@juanausensi499 cuz air is light ? Are the heavy objects supposed to float? XD Im saying it again loud if the object is denser than your surrounding it wil fall , but ships float in water bcz its has air in it which makes it float its an stupid eg but it is 😂
I promise you, if you treat him like you're a 3 year old enough, he'll break. Just keep asking him why. He will either explode or reveal that he believes in gravity but uses a different word for it.
"Because it falls down obviously" is an experimental observation. He may not want to say "gravity", but he can't claim that objects fall upwards when every single human on the planet can objectively test that assertion and realize it's false, thus robbing him of what little credibility he has in their tiny minds. People can believe in pseudo-science BS all they want but their 'immersion' takes a massive hit when someone contradicts a fundamental, observable truth of their reality. This is why Flat Earth is so believable: when you look out your window, you see flat ground. It might have hills and valleys, but it looks more or less flat. It certainly doesn't look ROUND. If we, as humans, could see the curvature of the Earth with the naked eye from sea level, Flat Earth would never have existed in the first place.
I seriously can't get through this one. I have never seen someone so ignorant of what is being told to them, they are LITERALLY only hearing what they want to. A person like this has to believe they are right in every circumstance no matter what, they will just come up with a reason why
Flerf science is very easy: just ignore what you don't want or what you don't understand..... or in fact, ignore every established scientific facts and invent your own rules on the go.
It's hilarious how the concept of "down" is so ingrained in Flatzoid's head that he can't even bring it forth into his consciousness to think about it or question it. It's like it goes completely over his head when someone mentions it by saying _"why down and not up or sideways?"_ It's like trying to get a normal human to visualise 7 space dimensions..

There is so much basic knowledge, so many assumptions that need acknowledged as given, so very little critical thinking in any conversation with a 2yo. And also with this guy. Honestly, this was one of the hardest parts of parenting littles for me - the absolute madness of arguing with a brain that isn’t fully formed. I can’t imagine being in this man’s life.
@@ascii8229 at least toddlers are still wired to learn and grow. It’s understandable that a kid might find this nonsense reasonable - kids are used to encountering new information and adjusting their understanding. Some adults seem to think that’s no longer necessary once they are out of school. It’s so weird to imagine living like a toddler as an adult - do flat earthers LIKE sticking their fingers in their ears and shouting “lalalalalalaaaaa” until people give up? I guess.
I love how belligerently and slowly he’s talking, as if explaining to a 2 year old that if he jumps off the table, he’ll hurt himself. Meanwhile he has no idea that he’s actually the idiot 😂
I assume he called him "Professor *not* Dave" as an attempted dig at him not technically being a professor, but the way he phrased it makes it seem like he's just incredulous that his name is actually Dave...
He's so smug as he sits there talking about potential energy, not actually realizing what is giving it it's energy. There's a force there... cannot think of the name for the life of me. Edit: And I just hit the part when he told Dave to think before he talks... I was speechless... The arrogance and pure stupid actually made me pause. Finally finished the video and idk if I can actually watch Flatzoid. The mixture of arrogance and complete dumb hurts.
It hurst because he is unwittingly walking into a dead end of embarrassment, except he won't be perceptive to the embarrassment, because of Dunning Kruger.
Flatzoid uses "pressure" as if it is a magical force-field emanating _from within_ the object and "energy" is another magical force that can be stored within the object and propels it. He has no clue that potential energy in this case is an abstract, bigger picture concept; the energy, considering a _system_ . His arrogance has blinded him to the point of being beyond help.
Flatzoid committed the appeal to dictionary fallacy. Instead of using the definition of air pressure from physics that cannot cause downward acceleration because it is equal on all sides, he used the definition of "pressure" that means that you are pushing on something.
If gravity pulls thing down toward Earth's center of mass, and that's your definition of gravity, how do you explain the Sun, The Moon, the stars and the planets and other heavenly bodies that just float around in the Earth's atmosphere.

@@beckydoesit9331 is that sarcasm?..... all objects that have mass, produces gravity, the larger the object/ the more massive, the larger the pull, the sun is millions of times more massive then anything else in the solar system which is why we orbit the sun, and spoiler, one day the earth will fall into the sun, because it was pulled inwards towards it
@@beckydoesit9331 Earth is a globe of 12,700 diameter, the moon revolves around it at a distance of 384,000 km. Sun is 147 million km away and 330,000 times larger than Earth,it has its own gravity which is why we have different weathers and constantly changing day/night timings throughout the year, across the globe.
@@beckydoesit9331 I see we have a flat earther. Damn, I was starting to think you were an urban myth or just really terrible comedians who don't understand how jokes work. You see, your understanding of gravity is not the same as humanities understanding of gravity. Just because you learned about it in school at age 10, dropped out of school and then think "huh, gravity doesn't make sense", doesn't mean anything. Distance matters. Mass matters. As others have pointed out, the sun has its own gravity, as does the moon, as do the other planets. You might not be thinking "Well, why doesn't the sun eat us like a sandwich?" or "why does the moon stay a certain distance away? Shouldn't it be travelling towards us?" You see, there are actually answers to these questions. If you want them, do a bit of research yourself. Maybe educate yourself in science or math's or whatever. If I know nothing about cars apart from the occasional model or make, I'm not then going to argue with a mechanic saying "Well, I know nothing about cars, but some random dude told me that cars run on pixie dust, and I think this makes more sense than fuel" In short, do your own research. If science was wrong, I'm sure that we would know. Across many centuries and many countries, billions of scientists have studied and reviewed countless pieces of information, and have updated pieces of information. Science isn't perfect and never will be, because we don't have all the answers yet. There will always be gaps or questions which we don't have answers to, which is why science uses theories and evidence. For all we know, we could discover something in 100 years which contradicts everything that we have ever believed, but until we find this, we must use what we know and can observe. Science is constantly evolving

@@beckydoesit9331 lol. I probably shouldn’t waste time arguing with flat earthers but I will this once. The moon is pretty far from the earth, and it is because of earth’s gravity that it orbits the earth. It’s like if you take a conker on a string and spin it around you. The force (the tension in the string) is always towards the centre, but because you give the conker some speed, it travels in a circle. It’s basic circular motion. Circular motion occurs when there is a constant force towards the centre of the circle. So the moon IS constantly ‘falling’ towards the earth but because it’s velocity is at a right angle to the orbit, it is constantly ‘missing’ the earth. So it goes in a circle around the earth aka orbit. As for the sun, it was discovered how ever many hundred years ago that the earth orbits the sun, not the other way around. The earth is constantly falling towards the sun, but again because of its velocity being tangential to the orbit it experiences circular motion. The sun doesn’t fall onto the earth because its mass is so large that the gravitational force the earth exerts on it. Obviously you’re not going to accept this argument because you don’t believe in gravity in the first place, you believe the moon and the sun are small and close to the earth, you literally believe the earth is flat so I’m not going to respond to whatever your counter argument may be, any physicist could read my argument and know I’ve correctly answered your question, so I’ll leave it there.
@@beckydoesit9331 because all massive objects have gravity, but earth is far enough away and moves fast enough that it doesn’t actually move towards the sun, it’s simple angular motion

I'm *so happy* to finally hear one of these guys explaining why things fall down in a vacuum: because there's even *less* pressure in a vacuum to support the object! Yeah, no pressure to fight the force of gravity that doesn't exist it sounds like.
Nuh-uh! It’s buoyancy! Don’t ask me how that works without gravity because I’m allergic to large words like “counterforce”! NEWTONIAN PHYSICS (whatever that means) SHALL NOT OPRESS US! (Heavy sarcasm I shouldn’t need to mention but Poe’s Law exists)
Also, if it is a difference that makes them fall, why when in a vacuum with a 0 density environment, does a hammer and a feather fall at the same rate. They should fall at a very different speed
I'm really glad you saw our comments about established titles and komikoto. So nice to see a creator listening to and actually HEARING your audience. Cheers!

Without gravity, there would be no ‘down.’ I wonder if he can comprehend this. Part of me thinks he’s just being a troll (mostly I just don’t want to believe anyone can truly be that friggin’ dumb in real life).

So air pressure causes the ball to go down, but in a vacuum, the ball goes down too because there's no air pressure to support it? It's almost like there's another force acting on the ball...
Normal people: "Gravitational force is the name of the force imparted by gravity. Gravity itself is not a force, it's just easier to say this without having to explain it every time because people understand what we mean." Flerf: ""You said gravity and force in the same sentence, so it's a force?" Also, when Dave said "If he says 'pressure' one more time, I'm going to explode", he should have said "I'm going to BURST!" 😂 Great video as ever, Dan. Keep up the good work buddy!
"Why do things fall down, as in the down direction?" "Well duh, because you drop it." "That wasn't the question. The question is, after you move your hand the pressure is the same everywhere around it so why is the direction of travel after you let it go down and not up or sideways?" "I already told you, it's because you let go of it so it moves due to the energy created, you tuna sandwich!"
How sad, flatzoid is not only demonstrating his lack of understanding but he's doubling down and broadcasting it to the entire world. keep up the good work SciManDan.
If the argument against going in different directions is the kinetic energy from lifting the object up, then surely dragging something like a feather across a table should make it snap back to where it was dragged from when you let go? Great vid as always ^_^
This is also something I didn't understand with his action figure demonstration. He picked the figure up diagonally. So from down left. And when he let's it go, it falls down straight. Not down left, but just down. If this were true, the figure should basically snap back an similar way ,since it seeks equilibrium. But, if the figure was picked up diagonally and falls down straight, then this means that the figure would retain potential energy when it reaches the same height it was picked up on. Since the diagonal is longer, therefore needs more energy to traverse, then the straight line. If we go on, then this would basically mean, that you could put potential energy into an object by repeating this process many times. At one point the object should have so much potential energy that it just straight up shoots through whatever ground is below it, since at one point the stored potential energy is enough to break through it. Since this doesn't happen, this can't be true. Another reason this can't be true, is, when the object hits the same height it was picked up on, why wouldn't it try to get back to where it was picked up from there? The air next to the object now excudes less pressure on the ball, then the ground it hit and with the remaining potential energy it should be able to move in its original direction. Maybe not fully, but still a bit, to lose that remaining potential energy. But if you observe balls, you will see, they hit the ground and jump back up a bit, and can then fall in any direction beside the original one. So, does the ball gain potential energy now again, since it moved further from its original point? It's such an easily observable fact, that this explanation alone does not work. Especially if you don't ignore the fact that the ball has no reason to go down in the first place, if it was pressure holding it in the air. I think Flatzoid doesn't understand the question "why down?". He already accepts the fact that it does go down, towards the ground, and then tries to explain why down makes sense. He doesn't seem to understand that "why down?" is exactly because, if pressure around the ball determines its falling direction, and the potential energy approach is observably incorrect (see my explanation above), then what, beside the potential energy from picking up the object, decides the falling direction to be towards the ground and parallel or opposite to the ground? And that he excudes so much confidence in his shit opinion is the most egrigious thing along with it. At least understand the questions you get asked and how you make a scientific proof. Create some generator out of my experiement even. Because if the potential energy theory would be correct, you could store an endless amount of energy in an object, by just picking it up diagonally or something.
@@christophsiebert1213 What's scary is that if we had somewhere with zero perceptible or effective gravity (actual zero gravity is impossible), and we somehow had a gradient in the gas pressure... an object freely sitting within this gas would indeed move towards the lower gas pressure.

3:43 So if I pull a book off the shelf, shouldn't it return to the shelf when I let go? I didn't pick it up, I pulled it to the side. 6:10 If I hold that baseball over the top of the Empire State Building and let go, I have created no additional force to the ball's motion downward but as the ball falls, it speeds up. It will reach a certain velocity (terminal velocity) and never increase speed no matter how much farther the ball has to drop. Why does the ball accelerate for a period of time and then stop before it has hit the ground?

"it falls because the preassure from up is higher than down" "it falls in a vaccum because the preassure down is non existing!" truly a genius of our times
I think the problem with the "why doesn't it fall up" argument is that even that is still asking the wrong question: *Why does the ball move at all?* He keeps saying "there's insufficient pressure to support it", but that really just means there's insufficient pressure to _stop it from falling,_ but then why does it _want_ to fall at all? Why doesn't it just stay where it is? Sure, nothing is _stopping_ it from falling, but nothing is _making_ it fall either. Is there something pushing it? Is there something pulling it? If there's nothing pushing or pulling it, then there's no reason for it to move. If there is, then _what actually is it_ that is pushing/pulling it down (that wouldn't also be pushing/pulling it up, or sideways, etc)?

@jay @scimandan Ever since watching the video by "I Can Science That" that explains why 8 inch per mile squared is a good approximation, I find it very tedious and frustrating watching debunkers getting it wrong. In the 8 inch per mile squared formula, miles is not the x-axis. It's the straight line chord through the globe earth that connects the two points on it's surface. If you take a circle and draw a chord, the relationship between that chord length and the vertical (y-axis) drop between those two points is parabolic. Sure if the "miles" unit was the x-axis measurement, you would be drawing a parabola when you calculate y using an order 2 (mile squared) function. But that's not what the mile represents. The mile is a chord and so has both an x and y component and a slope. So its possible for that pythagorean distance to have a parabolic relationship with the y-axis - and it does.
Still not convinced, lets take a more extreme example - going 1/2 of the way around the earth. The chord length now is the diameter of the earth at 7900mi. 7900 x 7900 x 8 / 63360 = 7880. Once again an almost perfect approximation of the diameter of the earth I started with and the drop from one side of the earth to the other. In fact you could even take this 3/4 of the way around the earth (which would be the same as the calculation for 1/4 around the earth). A 5586mi chord gives you a 3940mi drop from where you started, having 7900mi away from your starting point and returning half way back up again.
The 8 in/mi2 is a good approximation for distances very small comparing to the Earth radius (less than some dozen of km) . But that only works if you try to approximate a globe to a parabola. The value would be EXACTLY 0 in/mi2 in a flat Earth. I still don't understand what flatearhers mean when they use this value.

I came up with the same buoyancy theory when I was 7 years old. When I turned 10 I realized just how wrong it was. The remainder of the theories this guy presents are just gibberish. As a real live rocket scientist who must prove every design with accurate mathematics, stuff like this just isn't worth my time. I do, however, love this channel. Keep up the great work, SciManDan. The flat earthers give us so much to laugh at!!!
Actually for a rather large range. As far as I remember it is only off by +/- 0.03% or less in the 0 to 500km range, with the "sweet spot" of 0.00% error being at about 400km. At about 2000km it gets off by about 1%, and from there on the error quickly increases.
If the "mile" distance used in the formula is the straight-line chord length through the earth between two locations on it's surface, and the earth diameter is approximated as 7920 miles, you'll find that 8 inches per mile squared gives exactly the right answer for how far down you are from where you started (down in this case referring to the vertical distance from the starting point, not down the direction of gravity). eg. at the opposite side of the earth, you are down the full diameter of the earth. 8 inches x 7920 chord length x 7920 chord length / 63360 inches per mile = 7920 miles. Of course the chord length is not very sensible length to use for the distance between two locations. The point here is to remember that 8 inches per mile squared is based on a very specific input and returns a very specific output. A different input will give you an error - a sizeable one at large distances. Interpreting the result to mean something different, such as the height of the curve perpendicular to your chord and blocking your view, would also be wrong.

@@juhanipolvi4729 His ears are apparently blocked with a very dense and pressure resistant substance of some sort. The only voice he is able to hear inside his vacuum is his own.
High pressure naturally wants to move to low pressure areas, that’s basically, for the layman, why tightly packed isobars..or areas of equal pressure that are adjacent to high pressure areas are extremely windy. The higher pressure regions will automatically be attracted towards low pressure zones. That is why a blocking high pressure area around, let’s say south east of Hudson Bay and an intense Low pressure system is moving up the East Coast, in a typical Nor’Easter configuration will meet at some point and in most cases , especially if the temperature is cold enough, New England will be succumbed to an extremely intense blizzard. The clockwise rotation of the high with temperatures extremely low will intercept the counterclockwise rotation of the warmer air of the advancing low pressure system and in between we will receive tightly packed isobars in which will result, as long as the low is picking up the proper moisture from the Atlantic it will result in a classic Nor’Easter and if it’s winds are sustained and the snowfall is adequate it will be referred to as a blizzard. If not then it will just be a big snow dump. Well never mind the meteorological lecture….the baseball does not have any local low pressure forces acting on it and even if it did it would not be adequate to be suspended in the air. Maybe if you smashed it down and conformed it into a viability shaped airfoil and had adequate winds and altitude in your favor maybe it would float for a moment or so but even then it is debatable. Air pressure in a still environment has no bias, of course it is going to drop. Forcing air under it to keep it suspended is nothing more then something a 6 year old wouldn’t be impressed by. The entire presentation is just not even with somebody else who is far more educated than myself to explain. Nobody needs to show you how and why the laws of physics or thermodynamics or how mathematicians think, you need to educate yourself and stop telling educated folks who have IQ’s north of 180 that you know more than them because a ball dropped.

The fact he doesn’t understand the “WHY DOWN?!?!?” question is hilarious and pathetic at the same time.
Someone should ask him to define "down".
He really doesn't get how thoroughly (and obviously) it debunks his entire argument. It's funny that his only explanation is gravitational potential energy, while claiming that gravity doesn't exist.
someone should suggest to Prof Dave a sutble change to his slide of a hand supporting the ball from below e.g. have it in the grip of pincers or fingers at the *side* . A minor change but a pyschologically powerful one as it forces you to focus on direction.
If I cant answer a question like that I sure as hell wouldnt film myself talking about it
@@Xeract The fun part is... we can calculate that potential energy and make calculations and thus predictions with it. It would be very interesting to just ask them for a formula. Can they calculate how fast a ball is after falling for 2 seconds without using any of the formulas that include gravity? Can they actually calculate the 9,81m/s²? We can do all that, by using newtons gravity (F = G * m(1) x m(2) / r²), which is outdated, but accurate enough for effects on earth. If you then also consider that a = F / m(1) we can conclude that a = G * m(2) / r² and since the gravitational constant, the mass of the earth (m(2)) and the distance of most objects from the mass center of the earth (r) is mostly the same we get the pretty constant 9,8 m/s², which we do have to correct based on location for centrifugal forces (I think this makes up about 0,03m/s²).
And actually everyone can use this formula. Just looking at the dimensions, G is in the dimension of 10^-11, the mass of the earth 10^24 and the distance to the center 10^6, if you put just those numbers into the formula your result will be 10, which even ignoring the number in front of the scientific way to write large numbers you get pretty close to the actual value. So this just works... It is super ridicolous to look for another method to calculate something, given that gravity already provides us with an accurate way to do so. Now we could argue that it doesn't fit with all edge cases, which was true for newtons gravity, which is why we adopted a more advanced form. But it is hard to imagine that those basic rules we use on earth are just wrong.
I like how he uses buoyancy, pressure, potential energy and density to 'prove' that there is no gravitational force even though the definition of each of these involves forces and in these particular cases the force is gravity.
Not to mention, if things fall "down" due to density: it's less dense "up".
So, if things fall towards less dense things: everything should fall "up".

I promise you, if you treat him like you're a 3 year old enough, he'll break. Just keep asking him why. He will either explode or reveal that he believes in gravity but uses a different word for it.
"Because it falls down obviously" is an experimental observation. He may not want to say "gravity", but he can't claim that objects fall upwards when every single human on the planet can objectively test that assertion and realize it's false, thus robbing him of what little credibility he has in their tiny minds. People can believe in pseudo-science BS all they want but their 'immersion' takes a massive hit when someone contradicts a fundamental, observable truth of their reality.
This is why Flat Earth is so believable: when you look out your window, you see flat ground. It might have hills and valleys, but it looks more or less flat. It certainly doesn't look ROUND. If we, as humans, could see the curvature of the Earth with the naked eye from sea level, Flat Earth would never have existed in the first place.
That reminds me of my kindergarten teachers asking us: "Why is Sunday red in the calendar?" Their answer being: "Because it's a Sunday".

Finally finished the video and idk if I can actually watch Flatzoid. The mixture of arrogance and complete dumb hurts.
I actually feel sorry for him, he is clearly a challenged individual in desperate need of basic schooling and professional help
It hurst because he is unwittingly walking into a dead end of embarrassment, except he won't be perceptive to the embarrassment, because of Dunning Kruger.
Also he fails to realise the difference between pressure and force. He does have all the confidence gained from his ignorance.
Flatzoid uses "pressure" as if it is a magical force-field emanating _from within_ the object and "energy" is another magical force that can be stored within the object and propels it.
He has no clue that potential energy in this case is an abstract, bigger picture concept; the energy, considering a _system_ . His arrogance has blinded him to the point of being beyond help.
Flatzoid committed the appeal to dictionary fallacy. Instead of using the definition of air pressure from physics that cannot cause downward acceleration because it is equal on all sides, he used the definition of "pressure" that means that you are pushing on something.
He points out that buoyancy and density aren’t forces without realizing that HE’S the one who’s model would need them to be forces
If gravity pulls thing down toward Earth's center of mass, and that's your definition of gravity, how do you explain the Sun, The Moon, the stars and the planets and other heavenly bodies that just float around in the Earth's atmosphere. If gravity was a thing, each of these objects would fall to the center of Earth's center of mass. Spoiler. They don't.
@@beckydoesit9331 is that sarcasm?.....
all objects that have mass, produces gravity, the larger the object/ the more massive, the larger the pull, the sun is millions of times more massive then anything else in the solar system which is why we orbit the sun, and spoiler, one day the earth will fall into the sun, because it was pulled inwards towards it
@@beckydoesit9331 Earth is a globe of 12,700 diameter, the moon revolves around it at a distance of 384,000 km.
Sun is 147 million km away and 330,000 times larger than Earth,it has its own gravity which is why we have different weathers and constantly changing day/night timings throughout the year, across the globe.
@@beckydoesit9331 I see we have a flat earther. Damn, I was starting to think you were an urban myth or just really terrible comedians who don't understand how jokes work.
You see, your understanding of gravity is not the same as humanities understanding of gravity. Just because you learned about it in school at age 10, dropped out of school and then think "huh, gravity doesn't make sense", doesn't mean anything. Distance matters. Mass matters. As others have pointed out, the sun has its own gravity, as does the moon, as do the other planets. You might not be thinking "Well, why doesn't the sun eat us like a sandwich?" or "why does the moon stay a certain distance away? Shouldn't it be travelling towards us?" You see, there are actually answers to these questions. If you want them, do a bit of research yourself. Maybe educate yourself in science or math's or whatever. If I know nothing about cars apart from the occasional model or make, I'm not then going to argue with a mechanic saying "Well, I know nothing about cars, but some random dude told me that cars run on pixie dust, and I think this makes more sense than fuel"
In short, do your own research. If science was wrong, I'm sure that we would know. Across many centuries and many countries, billions of scientists have studied and reviewed countless pieces of information, and have updated pieces of information. Science isn't perfect and never will be, because we don't have all the answers yet. There will always be gaps or questions which we don't have answers to, which is why science uses theories and evidence. For all we know, we could discover something in 100 years which contradicts everything that we have ever believed, but until we find this, we must use what we know and can observe. Science is constantly evolving

@@beckydoesit9331 lol. I probably shouldn’t waste time arguing with flat earthers but I will this once.
The moon is pretty far from the earth, and it is because of earth’s gravity that it orbits the earth. It’s like if you take a conker on a string and spin it around you. The force (the tension in the string) is always towards the centre, but because you give the conker some speed, it travels in a circle. It’s basic circular motion. Circular motion occurs when there is a constant force towards the centre of the circle. So the moon IS constantly ‘falling’ towards the earth but because it’s velocity is at a right angle to the orbit, it is constantly ‘missing’ the earth. So it goes in a circle around the earth aka orbit.
As for the sun, it was discovered how ever many hundred years ago that the earth orbits the sun, not the other way around. The earth is constantly falling towards the sun, but again because of its velocity being tangential to the orbit it experiences circular motion. The sun doesn’t fall onto the earth because its mass is so large that the gravitational force the earth exerts on it.
Obviously you’re not going to accept this argument because you don’t believe in gravity in the first place, you believe the moon and the sun are small and close to the earth, you literally believe the earth is flat so I’m not going to respond to whatever your counter argument may be, any physicist could read my argument and know I’ve correctly answered your question, so I’ll leave it there.

So air pressure causes the ball to go down, but in a vacuum, the ball goes down too because there's no air pressure to support it?
It's almost like there's another force acting on the ball...
Normal people: "Gravitational force is the name of the force imparted by gravity. Gravity itself is not a force, it's just easier to say this without having to explain it every time because people understand what we mean."
Flerf: ""You said gravity and force in the same sentence, so it's a force?"
Also, when Dave said "If he says 'pressure' one more time, I'm going to explode", he should have said "I'm going to BURST!" 😂 Great video as ever, Dan. Keep up the good work buddy!
"because theres nothing below to support it." He is so close. He just needs to think about what nothing is supporting it against.
"Why do things fall down, as in the down direction?"
"Well duh, because you drop it."
"That wasn't the question. The question is, after you move your hand the pressure is the same everywhere around it so why is the direction of travel after you let it go down and not up or sideways?"
"I already told you, it's because you let go of it so it moves due to the energy created, you tuna sandwich!"
I like that he litteraly pauses every four seconds to avoid the whole argument
How sad, flatzoid is not only demonstrating his lack of understanding but he's doubling down and broadcasting it to the entire world. keep up the good work SciManDan.
I always wondered how flat earthers patch up the lack of gravity in their world, and this is about as dumb as i thought it would be.
If the argument against going in different directions is the kinetic energy from lifting the object up, then surely dragging something like a feather across a table should make it snap back to where it was dragged from when you let go? Great vid as always ^_^
Since when has reality had any bearing on flerfism? It's a cult of stupidity and wilful blindness.
This is also something I didn't understand with his action figure demonstration. He picked the figure up diagonally. So from down left.
And when he let's it go, it falls down straight. Not down left, but just down. If this were true, the figure should basically snap back an similar way ,since it seeks equilibrium. But, if the figure was picked up diagonally and falls down straight, then this means that the figure would retain potential energy when it reaches the same height it was picked up on. Since the diagonal is longer, therefore needs more energy to traverse, then the straight line.
If we go on, then this would basically mean, that you could put potential energy into an object by repeating this process many times. At one point the object should have so much potential energy that it just straight up shoots through whatever ground is below it, since at one point the stored potential energy is enough to break through it.
Since this doesn't happen, this can't be true. Another reason this can't be true, is, when the object hits the same height it was picked up on, why wouldn't it try to get back to where it was picked up from there? The air next to the object now excudes less pressure on the ball, then the ground it hit and with the remaining potential energy it should be able to move in its original direction. Maybe not fully, but still a bit, to lose that remaining potential energy. But if you observe balls, you will see, they hit the ground and jump back up a bit, and can then fall in any direction beside the original one. So, does the ball gain potential energy now again, since it moved further from its original point?
It's such an easily observable fact, that this explanation alone does not work. Especially if you don't ignore the fact that the ball has no reason to go down in the first place, if it was pressure holding it in the air. I think Flatzoid doesn't understand the question "why down?". He already accepts the fact that it does go down, towards the ground, and then tries to explain why down makes sense. He doesn't seem to understand that "why down?" is exactly because, if pressure around the ball determines its falling direction, and the potential energy approach is observably incorrect (see my explanation above), then what, beside the potential energy from picking up the object, decides the falling direction to be towards the ground and parallel or opposite to the ground?
And that he excudes so much confidence in his shit opinion is the most egrigious thing along with it. At least understand the questions you get asked and how you make a scientific proof. Create some generator out of my experiement even. Because if the potential energy theory would be correct, you could store an endless amount of energy in an object, by just picking it up diagonally or something.
@@christophsiebert1213 What's scary is that if we had somewhere with zero perceptible or effective gravity (actual zero gravity is impossible), and we somehow had a gradient in the gas pressure... an object freely sitting within this gas would indeed move towards the lower gas pressure. Which is, of course, "up" if the flerf model of stupidity were real.
3:43 So if I pull a book off the shelf, shouldn't it return to the shelf when I let go? I didn't pick it up, I pulled it to the side.
6:10 If I hold that baseball over the top of the Empire State Building and let go, I have created no additional force to the ball's motion downward but as the ball falls, it speeds up. It will reach a certain velocity (terminal velocity) and never increase speed no matter how much farther the ball has to drop. Why does the ball accelerate for a period of time and then stop before it has hit the ground?

"it falls because the preassure from up is higher than down"
"it falls in a vaccum because the preassure down is non existing!"
truly a genius of our times
I think the problem with the "why doesn't it fall up" argument is that even that is still asking the wrong question:
*Why does the ball move at all?* He keeps saying "there's insufficient pressure to support it", but that really just means there's insufficient pressure to _stop it from falling,_ but then why does it _want_ to fall at all? Why doesn't it just stay where it is? Sure, nothing is _stopping_ it from falling, but nothing is _making_ it fall either. Is there something pushing it? Is there something pulling it? If there's nothing pushing or pulling it, then there's no reason for it to move. If there is, then _what actually is it_ that is pushing/pulling it down (that wouldn't also be pushing/pulling it up, or sideways, etc)?

Flatzoid: “If you know your maths, you know that 8 in per mile squared works.”
Also Flatzoid: Doesn’t know any maths.
He is so dumb he didn't even understand the point Prof. Dave was making. And then tried to explain (badly) how squaring values works.
@jay @scimandan Ever since watching the video by "I Can Science That" that explains why 8 inch per mile squared is a good approximation, I find it very tedious and frustrating watching debunkers getting it wrong. In the 8 inch per mile squared formula, miles is not the x-axis. It's the straight line chord through the globe earth that connects the two points on it's surface. If you take a circle and draw a chord, the relationship between that chord length and the vertical (y-axis) drop between those two points is parabolic. Sure if the "miles" unit was the x-axis measurement, you would be drawing a parabola when you calculate y using an order 2 (mile squared) function. But that's not what the mile represents. The mile is a chord and so has both an x and y component and a slope. So its possible for that pythagorean distance to have a parabolic relationship with the y-axis - and it does.
Still not convinced, lets take a more extreme example - going 1/2 of the way around the earth. The chord length now is the diameter of the earth at 7900mi. 7900 x 7900 x 8 / 63360 = 7880. Once again an almost perfect approximation of the diameter of the earth I started with and the drop from one side of the earth to the other. In fact you could even take this 3/4 of the way around the earth (which would be the same as the calculation for 1/4 around the earth). A 5586mi chord gives you a 3940mi drop from where you started, having 7900mi away from your starting point and returning half way back up again.
Correction above: 2 x 3950 squared = 5586mi, should be square-rooted again to get the 5586
The 8 in/mi2 is a good approximation for distances very small comparing to the Earth radius (less than some dozen of km) . But that only works if you try to approximate a globe to a parabola. The value would be EXACTLY 0 in/mi2 in a flat Earth. I still don't understand what flatearhers mean when they use this value.
Flat earthers: we should question why things are the way they are that’s how science works
Also flat earthers: things fall down because that’s just what it is just accept it without question
"We don't build things in the air, we build them on the ground" Umm so if we built something on the ground and took it to the basement and let go, would it float up to ground level?

@@beckydoesit9331
The moon is not just floating there. It has velocity in a given trajectory and is simultaneously being pulled toward the earth due to the earth's gravity. Hence it orbits the earth.
Earth does the same with respect to the sun. We orbit the sun.
Did you drop out of school in the 4th grade?
@@beckydoesit9331
Think of throwing a ball parallel to the ground. If gravity didn't exist why is the ball headed downward as it moves forward along its trajectory? If gravity didn't exist, why isn't it moving upward or just continuing at the same level? It can't be that density nonsense because we know the higher we go the less dense the air is.
"It falls because there is not enough pressure to hold it up" Hold it up from what? Gravity?..
“ 8in/mi squared is very accurate approximation” made me bust out laughing 😂
As you saw at figure it is for first thousand kilometers from observer at surface of Earth. You dont need whole globe to observe curvature.

Q: Why does a ball in vacuum fall downward and not up or sideways?

8 inches per mile squared IS a very good approximation, but only for a very limited range. It gets worse the farther away from zero you are.
Actually for a rather large range. As far as I remember it is only off by +/- 0.03% or less in the 0 to 500km range, with the "sweet spot" of 0.00% error being at about 400km. At about 2000km it gets off by about 1%, and from there on the error quickly increases.
If the "mile" distance used in the formula is the straight-line chord length through the earth between two locations on it's surface, and the earth diameter is approximated as 7920 miles, you'll find that 8 inches per mile squared gives exactly the right answer for how far down you are from where you started (down in this case referring to the vertical distance from the starting point, not down the direction of gravity). eg. at the opposite side of the earth, you are down the full diameter of the earth. 8 inches x 7920 chord length x 7920 chord length / 63360 inches per mile = 7920 miles.
Of course the chord length is not very sensible length to use for the distance between two locations. The point here is to remember that 8 inches per mile squared is based on a very specific input and returns a very specific output. A different input will give you an error - a sizeable one at large distances. Interpreting the result to mean something different, such as the height of the curve perpendicular to your chord and blocking your view, would also be wrong.

High pressure naturally wants to move to low pressure areas, that’s basically, for the layman, why tightly packed isobars..or areas of equal pressure that are adjacent to high pressure areas are extremely windy. The higher pressure regions will automatically be attracted towards low pressure zones. That is why a blocking high pressure area around, let’s say south east of Hudson Bay and an intense Low pressure system is moving up the East Coast, in a typical Nor’Easter configuration will meet at some point and in most cases , especially if the temperature is cold enough, New England will be succumbed to an extremely intense blizzard. The clockwise rotation of the high with temperatures extremely low will intercept the counterclockwise rotation of the warmer air of the advancing low pressure system and in between we will receive tightly packed isobars in which will result, as long as the low is picking up the proper moisture from the Atlantic it will result in a classic Nor’Easter and if it’s winds are sustained and the snowfall is adequate it will be referred to as a blizzard. If not then it will just be a big snow dump. Well never mind the meteorological lecture….the baseball does not have any local low pressure forces acting on it and even if it did it would not be adequate to be suspended in the air. Maybe if you smashed it down and conformed it into a viability shaped airfoil and had adequate winds and altitude in your favor maybe it would float for a moment or so but even then it is debatable. Air pressure in a still environment has no bias, of course it is going to drop. Forcing air under it to keep it suspended is nothing more then something a 6 year old wouldn’t be impressed by. The entire presentation is just not even with somebody else who is far more educated than myself to explain. Nobody needs to show you how and why the laws of physics or thermodynamics or how mathematicians think, you need to educate yourself and stop telling educated folks who have IQ’s north of 180 that you know more than them because a ball dropped. Stop with that damn air pressure and vacuum and why water is in place but butterflies are able to fly. You are not going anywhere with this.
