    "They're all CGI images"
    As an undergraduate, I took hundreds of images of a variety of nebulae using a 36 inch reflector for a final year project. Those images were taken on glass photographic plates (this was long before CCD technology) and those are still in the university archive. Prints were made and were widely available. I still have most of them.
    Two questions for Santos:
    1) How do you use digital CGI technology on an analogue photographic plate?, and
    2) How do you do it 20 years before CGI was invented?
    £10000 for a plausible reply.

Also the people who led him astray are not “lying” since they truly believe what they are saying. Saying something that you believe to be true is not lying. By the way, flat earthers do not believe what they believe because they have been led astray or lied to but rather they have a psychological makeup which compels them to need to belief incredible things which are in direct conflict with what is accepted scientific fact. If they did not have the flat earth thing they would latch onto some other crackpot belief - such as being a holocaust denier. It’s a problem of irrationality and not one of a lack of intellect. In fact some of these people even have reasonably high IQ’s but even very intelligent people will say and do stupid things when they are highly irrational. Of course the people wasting their time arguing against these types have issues of their own. After all, an intelligent and fully rational person is not going to feel the need to enter into a debate with someone who insist that the tooth fairy is real. When someone says something that clearly ridiculous you just humor him and then go about your business. You don’t argue the point.

    TEN Rules of flerfing :
    1) Strawman the globe model in a desperate bid to manufacture a "gotcha".
    2) NEVER, under any circumstances, talk about your positive claim that the earth is FLAT.
    3) If pushed to do the above, pretend that you "claim nothing".
    4) Learn to articulate the sounds “nu” and “huh” together in quick succession and use it whenever you need to deny reality (i.e, often).
    5) Pre-emptively reject the answers to every question you ask.
    6) Cherry pick parts of quotes that you think might help you, whilst pretending the rest never happened.
    7) Perform a ‘flerf reset’ every morning, conveniently forgetting everything that was said to you the previous day.
    8) Ignore the fact that, despite more than 10 years of social media flerfing, flat earth has advanced about as far as an asthmatic Ant with particularly heavy shopping.
    9) Lie.
    10) Lie more.

    A little fun trivia about the sun and Earth's rotation: If you hold out your arm at full length, and bend your hand palm facing you so that your fingers are flush together and parallel with the horizon (or perpendicular to direction of gravity, as it were), each finger marks about 15 minutes of travel for the sun across the sky.
    So, 4 fingers is an hour, and as you count fingers stacked from horizon to the sun, you can estimate remaining daylight pretty dang well. It's a very, very, very old life hack. I learned it when taking a land navigation course, and it's pretty spot-on. Due to human anatomy/geometry, it doesn't matter much how long your arms are, or the size of your hands, as long as you are reasonably proportionate, the angles scale with each person.
    I figure I'd share something related to the rotation of the Earth that isn't a bunch of Flat Earth non-sense. Enjoy!

It is an utterly meaningless concept. If you alter the composition of the medium that sound is radiating through, its speed (and thus its ratio - the Mach number) will also change. For example, sound will travel through nickel about one and a half times faster than it would through brass, and as the speed of sound traveling through the vacuum of space is zero, so too is its Mach number.

      Also when the medium is traveling along with you Mach is relative to that medium. Otherwise nobody on the Concord would have been able to talk to anyone sitting in front of them ...

      I think Mach numbers technically only apply when the medium is a fluid, but, yeah...using a Mach number to describe the Earth's rotation and/or its velocity through the solar system / galaxy / universe is completely nonsensical.

      I spent some time in a calibration lab checking the calibration of aircraft machmeters. We did it with the meter mounted in a vacuum chamber with an external tube supplying simulated pitot probe air pressure. We sucked air out of the vacuum chamber following a chart that gave standard air pressure at various heights. At each specified height we set the pitot pressure to various values to simulate speed through the air at that altitude. It sounds quite complicated but is pretty routine. The reason for doing this was that the speed of sound in the atmosphere changes (slows) with increasing altitude so a standard air speed indicator does not have mach numbers on its dial. If you look at published maximum speeds for aircraft that can exceed the speed of sound it usually includes the fact that the quoted mach numbers are at sea level. Go high enough in the atmosphere and walking pace would be greater than mach 1 (can't think how you would prove this for real though).

    As a math teacher….I think I know what Santos was like in school. “When will we ever need this?” “Why does any of this matter?” And so, they stop learning, get behind, and apparently, Santos never did quite catch up despite deciding to try to do “science”, but mostly doing it to be anti-authority, because he’s too lost to understand things and thinks he’s being lied to. Sad really, I mean…he wants to know, but everything he does is tainted by his need to reject the established science as mind control or something he feels is sinister, like….religion.🙄

    • @pseudomaso
      @pseudomaso Год назад +3

      You're saying quite essential things there mate.
      I remember when I went to school I had this exact "conflict" with myself but even though I thought "well, gotta learn something" and while maturing I got the idea of not just "learning" stuff but getting behind it. I think there is a big difference and that 'abstract' difference is, what flat earthers or "sceptics" often criticize. They often talk about "textbook education" and play down education in general while claiming to "get behind things" yet unfortunately for them the "getting behind" part is substantially dependant on "learning" things in the first place.
      I often told FAs that being principled isn't a bad thing but if they criticize the principles of others they should acknowledge their own and stop pressing double standards because that is exactly what they themselves don't want to be treated like.
      Usually when I participate in a debate about things like flat earth I compare this to "making mistakes and learning from them", because it is the exact same process. You can't disprove the basics if you can't get behind it so it's quite necessary to at least understand the basic concept. With that said I don't categorize flat earthers in such a debate principally, I try to get behind their understanding of the world. To be on even grounds I ofc expect them to do the same, otherwise the dialogue is a big waste of time for both parties.
      Most discussions I had regarding this topic were pretty civil while I always tried to get behind their intentions and - well - sometimes forced myself into the mind of someone with a different perception. Most of these people have abstract and irrational fears, some just feel some sort of disconnection, some have feelings of disgust towards science and many of those might have different reasons - wether they are personal, ideological or based on experience.
      Why do I explain that?
      I brought some very interesting perspectives into the lives of others just by being respectful, trying to share their scepticism and trying to even the grounds we're standing on when it comes to that discussion and ultimately I had some of those people acknowledging a globe earth as the only "naturally possible" shape of the earth. I do agree with them that there might be numerous things we as "mere mortals" are not 'obligated' to know but this shouldn't be the reason we stop learning and getting behind things - including the perspective of others - as absurd and clueless it might seem.

      When they engage in an argument I feel it's never really about trying to prove their theories or disproof the scientific theory - it's really about proving that the scientists are evil, that they're willingly and knowingly lying to you; or that they're controlled by a bigger force.

    Like why bring up the argument at all if your standard of proof is, "you literally have to be 5,000 years old and made the measurements yourself..."?

    Man, this Santos guy is brilliant. He can count and speak words, sometimes even big words. And he can point at things. And he has a laptop too. What more could you want? This guy is a keeper ladies.

    Wow, I can't believe I'm so sad about Bob's paasing, not only did I really enjoy the recurring joke, it had tranacended the original joke, and had become its own thing... But more importantly, I'm sad that he died in either ignorance, or before he could stop lying to people if he wasn't really a flat Earther

    RIP Bob, unlike many of your followers you attempted to walk the walk and gave us many a smile along the way. Much respect for Dan for memorialising you this way. We have our memories of the clip and you'll never leave us but this way we can respect the you as a man who shared our time on earth and was willing to experiment to prove his ideas.

    I skipped preschool and went straight to Kindergarten. 2:36 -There, a Ginger named Glenn tried to steal my Blocks, I punched him in the face and had to stand in the corner. Hence, I learned that What goes around comes around. Therefore the Earth is round, and often Unfair.
