      I honestly found the intro a bit Eurocentric. Statements like "84%...nobody thought the Earth was flat...medieval times...Christopher Columbus.."
      How about mentioning other civilizations in the Americas, Africa, and Middle, South and East Asia? How did WE all think about this?
      BTW, no scientist who sends rockets to the moon and the planets believe the Earth is flat.

      Yeah I don't understand it either and there's no point in arguing about it just like religious people they are utterly convinced that they are right and nothing anyone says can change their mind look at the Sun put some glasses on if you do it looks like a sphere to me look at the moon when it's full it looks like a ball to me looks round there is a way that you can prove that the Earth is round maybe expensive but you could charter a plane just keep flying West landing to refuel and rest and if you end up in the same place you took off from say Florida then that should be proof enough to anyone that the Earth is round

And the fact that you're being hurled through space right now at thousands of miles per hour but feel completely still. I mean, whether or not you dismiss the flat earth theory doesn't really matter. My point is that your pre-conceived notions were fed to you in school, not due to a single one of your senses or common sense.

    The guy at 13:09 disproves his own argument with the plane in his hand. As he goes a quarter of the way around the globe, the nose dips in relation to you and me-- BUT not in relation to his globe! Try this: draw a circle. Draw a line straight up from the center of the circle out past the circle two inches. Draw a simple airplane at the end of it, level to the circle. Do this again at "3-o'clock"-- again with a level plane at the end. Repeat as many times as you'd like in between. You see, a pilot gets from point A to point B NOT by dipping the nose of the plane to go around the Earth, but by KEEPING IT LEVEL. If the nose were to dip at ANY point around the globe, he would lose altitude (don't argue; look at your picture!) Someone with talent, please make a video showing this! (This also explains why "spirit levels" on planes STAY level! They are supposed to!)

Such that even the largest living organisms exert no noticeable gravity, but celestial bodies (ranging in size from the moon or smaller to the largest stars like Stephenson-218 and other celestial bodies like neutron stars and black holes) distort space-time so that planets orbit around the centre of the gravity well. If they didn't orbit (i.e. no momentum), they would plummet directly towards the centre of the gravity well and collide with it. So anything that had no momentum to orbit, was long since removed. Gravity is the weakest known force, we only notice it with celestial bodies because they are so massive.

    That experiment with the level has one big fallacy. Although the plane is level doesn't mean the plane is not changing altitude! YOU HAVE TO CHECK THE ALTITUDE OF THE PLANE, NOT THE ANGLE OF THE NOSE. Some planes will display the altitude on the LCD panel in front of you. Also, a constant altitude doesn't mean the earth is flat. It's a bad experiment.

      They say the earth's curve is every 8 miles squared. 16 miles. A normal airplane flying is 550-580 MPH. If you divide it into minutes. Which is 9.17 mpm (Miles Per Minute) meaning you will travel 9.17 miles a minute, and lets just round to 9 miles. So that would be 72 inches for the entire 9 miles. So the plane SHOULD dip down quite a bit. 72 inches in that single minute. Which would make flying impossible. It doesn't do that. Why? There isn't the curve you guys are talking about. There is A curve, but it's way higher than a normal commercial airplane.

      Even if you can't accept that, flying it a "straight" line over 2000 miles would only be a height difference of 1333 feet, considering that the average long distance flight flies at 34,000 feet, this isn't that noticeable.
      2000 miles * 8 inches = 16,000 inches / 12 inches = 1333.33333 feet
      Even with the longest ever non-stop commercial flight, New York to Sydney, which was 10,066 miles would have a drop of only 6710 feet, which would easily be correctable, or even doable, considering that that plane could easily go up to 45000 feet above sea level.

      Scepticism requires retesting and re-evaluating evidence then accepting the conclusion, not rejecting all evidence as fake, ignoring the results of your own experiments, and even rejecting basic geometric concepts. Flat Earthers need to believe they're the actual smart ones and scepticism is just an excuse they tell themselves.

      The level shows nothing, because that's not how gravity works. But even if it did work the way the flat earthers describe, this test would actually be proving them wrong. In order to maintain altitude, planes have to fly slightly nose-up. So if the earth were flat and the plane remained truly level it would be constantly descending and crash into the ocean. Now. This "test" doesn't actually show anything because it is based on a misunderstanding of gravity and it's a dollar store bubble level on a folding, plastic tray. Anyone who's tried to set a drink down in a plane knows for a fact that those trays are anything but level.

    There is just one little problem with this airplane thing and it kinda goes like this: "The earth is f*cking big"
    So the problem is also that there is this thing called "gravity" it pulls the plane down and as it goes forward the wings catch air and create preassure beneath the plane that pushes it upwards so the plane actually needs to tip a bit up or if it has hilariously big wings or very very very light body than it just doesn't tip it goes forward and denies the pull of earth's gravitational force.

    I have yet to meet a flat earther in person but there's one experiment I want to try on them if I meet them. Take a smooth object that they can look at and at feel and have them declare that it's smooth. Then put it under a microscope so they can see all of the bumps and deformations that are on it. It's all about relative scale. A curved object, if massive enough, can appear flat. Just as a smooth object, when zoomed in close enough, will no longer appear smooth.

    @MrGyngve 3 года назад +471

    Ok. Real life pilot here. For one, the nose is never dipped down to follow any curvature. To maintain a positive lift and stay at altitude, you need something called positive AOA (angle of attack). Angle of attack is the angle between your wings chord line and the relative airflow coming towards it. The incidence angle (the angle of the wings attached to the frame), the aircraft construction method in general (like anhedral or dihedral wing construction), engine placement etc. will determine just how much your nose will have to dip or rise to maintain its lift for a given speed.
    As you lower your speed, if you wish to maintain altitude, you have to increase your AOA. As you go faster, the opposite is true. Either way, you will always maintain a slight nose up during flight. You rely on the immediate air around you to stay up there.
    As you fly at 450 knots true airspeed at 35 000 feet, your forces are balanced. A glass of wine (and a spirit level), will remain level. Trying to measure angles or levels in an airplane with a spirit level, is useless. Bringing the aircraft out of balance (uncomfortable for the pax) will yield a result for sure.

      Yes, I believe that the question wasn't if the earth was round, it was a debate about the circumference of the earth. The size of the planet was pretty well known by the time of the library of Alexandria in Egypt. Using simple measurements that we are taught in basic training in the Army. If you know the distance between 2 points, you can figure out the distance between a third point. I believe that Columbus had messed up his calculations by not properly converting Roman miles and Egyptian miles correctly. He was just lucky that their happened to be a whole unknown continent or else he and his crew would have starved before they reached the Indies. Also he had tried to convince the naval powers in Europe to fund his expedition and all of them had laughed him out the door, because everyone was fairly confident how big the earth was, the only country that was willing to throw him a few dollars was a very new country that was desperate to counter Portugal's recent successes in exploring the coast of Africa, and even they weren't willing to give him much money. They were pretty certain that he was going on a fools errand.
