If Earth was truly flat as these people think it is then Mount Everest would be visible from anywhere on the planet as long you are facing in its direction.
Not necessarily, your eye can only see a certain distance, and there would be a lot of terrain in the way cuz of perspective, BUT you would be able to with a telescope most likely cuz... Well that's what they're made for
@@novawolf_gamingactually, the eye can see infinitely far as long as light is travelling from what you are looking at and hitting your eyeball. On a supposed "flat earth" there would probably be some kind of terrain, fog etc. that would be in the way though, as you said.
@@Никогдатебянеброшу-л4кYou’re talking about the Rayleigh Criterion. At some point an object’s angular size becomes too small to resolve it from everything else that is (visually) around it. The larger and brighter the object is the further away it can be before it becomes to the human eye. However, with tools (camera, or camera connected to a telescope) can take a long exposure photograph. With enough time you can build up enough photons to have much higher resolution and thusly see objects that previously couldn’t be seen.
@novawolf_gaming Atmospheric haze, clouds, dust... these will obscure distant objects. Even just the thickness of the Atmosphere itself over 1000s of kilometres will attenuate the light such that a Telescope wouldn't work So no, we wouldn't see Mt. Everest from every where on a FLAT earth. You see stars, don't you? They are Billions and trillions of kilometres away. But there is little in space to attenuate the light. Flerfs make stuff up to appease their own ignorance. Believers of other non reality do the same.
Can't wait for them to go. "Air isn't a fluid, its not a liquid" even tho it was shown on screen in the video that a fluid isn't specifically a liquid 🤦
Thanks! It's hard fighting this stuff in our communities. It's more than just distrust, there's religion tied to it, (if the Earth is flat and space is fake it's bc heaven exists and THEY dont want us to know) and maybe even worse ego, because part of this train of thought is the need to be perceived as 'aware' or 'enlightened' ( or the original meaning of 'woke') and to prove those ideas of flat earth and conspiracy wrong means to prove these peoples' self image and esteem wrong.
The present flat earth movement does originate from religious fundamentalism in the 19th century. At that time, the public was becoming interested in scientific discoveries and the fundamentalists were worried science might hide or disprove their God. As we see today, there were those who saw it as a money making opportunity, so wrote books and gave flat earth lectures. Flat earth is essentially an anti science movement.
I sincerely appreciate your efforts to educate the uninformed among us. Flat earth theory drives me nuts, you articulate the insanity of it all perfectly. Someone else said it first, but I agree, you represent black men very well ✊🏾
This is why it's important that those who teach are qualified to do so. I would never send my kid to these fools to learn anything but how not to science. That lady needs to get herself smarter friends.
On the topic of really smart people, two antivaxxers came into my store today looking for microscopes because apparently one of them, who was wearing a shirt that said "Free Immune Boosting Hugs!", has been pulling "stuff" (they didn't specify) out of his body ever since he got the first shot and they wanted to look at it under a microscope. The other dude, who had on a shirt advertising some kinda conspiracy journalism website, was telling me all his conspiracy theories about how the first and second vaccines had "super cancer" in them and that's why everyone is dying of cancer these days. I was trying to get actual work done so I was just like "yeah man wow that's crazy!" as he went on for like 5 minutes about what each booster had in it. These dudes also looked like they were either in need of some kind of medication or completely blasted off several drugs and I almost asked him if he needed the microscope to make sure his bag of crack wasn't tampered with.
I sometimes wonder, as fan of Lovecraft's fiction, whether someone read the story "at the Mountains of Madness" where scientists discover more land beyond Antarctica's borders and they find a mountain range higher than the Himalayas. This story was written in the 1930's and was due to his fascination with Antarctica, which at the time was not completely explored. It would not surprise me if some ignorant flerf read part of a conversation where the story is being discussed and jumped to the conclusion this was reality and so it has passed around the ignorant echo chamber with no one actually checking anything, from the group that notoriously always say "do your own research." I wonder if they also believe in shoggoths because they were a large part of that story as well.
These videos are my favourite of all the ones that you do. I can't wait for the next one, I also love the "Responding To A Nut" ones you did about Dr Strange.
What really grinds my gears, is that most Flerfs cannot begin to comprehend things that are on a much larger scale than they are or things they cannot see with their own eyes (such as air or the curvature of the earth)... Yet... So many of them believe in God. 🤦♂️
@@thomasdendtler4077 hmm interesting 🤔 I guess it would make sense that God is less than a 3 dimensions being... Most likely 0 dimensions, right? 😅 The black hole of religion
I’d be down for that, I’m always happy to hear people who know Real science debunk sudo science. Now he just needs to explain to the Karen’s how Vaccines don’t cause autism (and other bull crap that doesn’t cause autism)
12:28 only a small town of Antarctic researchers live in Antarctica, complete with their own mail system, but that town is on a point where it would be on the coast and sometimes the town lay abandoned. Also the research posts are sparsely placed in Antarctica, so you have a small but unlikely chance of rescue, considering that they'd have to go miles to rescue you and they prioritize their safety first over any fool who flies where you can freeze to death most of the year.
Hey, birdman wanted to say I really like your videos. I appreciate how well put together and neat the videos are. Love the EWW with cinema sins especially.
Flat earthers believe in a sky deity without evidence But don't believe the earth is a globe despite thousands of years of evidence?? Make it make sense
So funny to come back 6 months and still these flattys can't learn their lesson. Well the Antarctica trip is gonna disprove them all. Now if they believe it is a whole different story lol
13:00 I just love how they use CGI and Photoshop to prove the Earth is flat while saying any real pictures of the round Earth is dismissed as CGI and Photoshop.
I used to think flat earthers were harmless, and would leave them alone as opposed to anti vaxxers I will confront always. However your last video where you responded the flat earther, I’ve accepted that the gateway conspiracy. So flat earthers can absolutely be harmful.
Nicely done @Th3Birdman. This is a universal and international public service announcement. You used facts and science to educate with receipts. You respectfully called out a contingent of our own people. You played Devil's advocate while giving credit where due. I share your frustration for this particular subject. Keep these coming.
I remember seeing a video about a guy flying a drone at the end of a sunset and he flew it high enough you could see the sun cresting back over it was pretty sick
Always loved your satirical content but I think I may like these debunking videos even more. I know they may not make a significant difference to the people that need these videos most but keep up the great work man!!
This just makes me realize there is a timeline out there where Birdman is essentially making Mark Rober Vsauce type science videos and im sure thats a fun universe Something about the way you said "imagine a bacterium on a basketball." Your cadence is always great, but that was like quintessential "Educator Voice"
The "plane must dip" argument would also be false around a very small planet. Here is a simple experiment that shows why: Take an analog clock and a small stick such as a match or a toothpick. Attach the stick perpendicularly to one of the clock hands. The stick will rotate with the clock hand without ever having to dip its nose. For an external point of view, the stick rotates with the clock handle. The same applies to planes. They do not have to dip their nose. They only have to perform a rotation proportional to the traveled distance ; 1 degree every 40000/360 = 111 km. For a commercial plane traveling at 1000 km/h that means 9 degree/hour or 0.000417 rpm. This is an incredibly small rotation speed and as explained in the video, the pilot has nothing else to do than keep the plane roughly perpendicular to the direction of gravity (which also rotates by the same amount).
I have an ex air force step uncle who spent an entire day saying the earth was flat when staying with him,I'm definitely sending this to him and hope he responds
On Antarctica, we also don't go there on a mass scale because 1: they have winter storms all the time that are dangerous to fly in, and 2: it's so cold that the plane fuel literally freezes so only certain relatively warm parts of the continent during the summer can be landed at.
Technically, aircraft would have to change their attitude to deal with the curve. However, the atmosphere is a dynamic system, aircraft have to constantly adjust their attitude, any curve adjustments would be insignificant and lost among the much greater ones needed to maintain straight and level flight. The same applies to adjustments for the Coriolis effect.
@grahvis none of your explanation was necessary in response to what I said. What I was pointing out was how stupid it is for flat earthers to use the pitch of an airplane to refute the earth is a sphere. By stating that the earth isn't a sphere because airplanes don't fly with their noses down to account for the curvature of the earth is a stupid position to take when we know that planes can and do land with positive pitch angles.
Notice how when measuring degrees of a circle in trig or calc, you divide degrees into minutes and seconds. Almost like math in general has been related to circles, spheres
It's amazing to me how people in the states can just say shit with confidence and really believe it's true. Its so bizarre. When I used to live in England I would have little conversations with people about cultural differences between us and the Europeans. In American everyone is told there are no limits, so they behave that way. We have finally reached a point where the rugged individualism shit is poisoning the collective wellspring of thought. It's so extremely embarrassing...
hmmmm.. If we where living on a flat Earth, wouldn't we all see the same stars in the sky??? I mean shit I am not a smart man but I would think if we were all standing on a flat Earth wouldn't we all look up and see the same stars or am I wrong?
The concept is easy to understand honestly. Podcast like this exist for one fundamental reason: For a multitude of societal issues, people don't not understand how little they stand to "lose" by simply admitting to not knowing or not understanding something and get the corrected answer when questions arise. Instead, many will make something up, like some act of refusing to show weakness from lack of knowledge. To avoid looking like fools short term, but in fact become true fools long term. Then add the need to "double-down" rather than course correct, still preferring the illusion to save face over growth. I don't know if it's Media or discomfort among peers but they would rather do anything other than admitting to a gap in information or understanding and growing from it.
The point of planes not “dipping their nose” is so painfully obvious. It’s crazy that Ish even said that shit so confidently to be honest. The picture of the plane n the globe in contrast to how small the plane actually is compared to the earth is a great visual way of showing the point also.
Circumference of the earth at the equator, about 40 million meters. A380 wingspan, 80 meters. We are but a speck of dust in the grand scheme of things.
Lord jamar went off about flat earth on the godfrey podcast too. The ignorance is concerning. Thanks for a bit more perspective on why some folks might believe this stuff.
I've been enjoying your EWW and movie review videos for years and if you slamming on idiots is going to be a new thing, then I'm here for it. Not only do you insult people, but you take the time to do reasearch if you don't know an answer and give quality content. Keep it up!
@6:52 absolutely right, and your point is backed up even more by the fact that multistage rockets exist. Each stage in a step rocket has its own propellant and engines that get jettisoned as they are no longer needed, and this even being necessary for rockets using powerful fuel and designed to go straight up makes a plane flying off the earth seem even more ridiculous Great video man, hope it prevents some people from going down the flat earth conspiracy rabbithole
Henrietta Lacks' story specifically, or eugenics, phrenology, psychology, forced sterilization, medical discrimination, and so many other things rooted so deeply in white supremacy that if you really look into things the rabbit hole gets very dark, very quick; are just a few things off the top of my head as to why black people don't trust science. BUT, we are some of the largest consumers of technology, and our adaptation to new media and platforms is LITERALLY BEING STUDIED. That being said, i read books so all this flat earth stuff HAS to be for the clickbait, right? RIGHTT!?
This video gave me liking of science than what highschool taught me. (Ngl, I like science, but it’s hard to learn from the subject, you just said fluently)
Nice, video about flateartherers made on my birthday. Thanks! Btw these "icewalls" somehow reminds me Lovecraft and his hidden mountain ranges in Antarctica...
Aircraft have flown over Antarctica, the main reason why they don't is that it doesn't lie between two major airline hubs. The great circle route between Sydney and Santiago only passes over sea ice, not the continent itself. Of course, the concept of great circle routes goes way over flat earther's heads.
Good to see more people who're not mainly "globe-youtubers" standing up to this idiocy. Shame this is necessary, but here we are in 2024 having to "discuss" the shape of the planet...
I've thoroughly enjoyed this series, I'll admit I'm not one who's watched your gaming content (don't hate me), but this has brought me in despite only previously watch EWWCS series
take a model globe, glue 2 laser pointers to each pole a few degrees off perfect axis (off center for the kids). spin the globe with a floor and ceiling or a wall on each side, observe the relative spin from the laser pointers.
This video did a great job about making me realize how cool this planet it, I never pieced together that if you live in the southern hemisphere you’d see different stars from the north that’s cool asf

This video makes me even more excited for the Final Experiment in a couple of months! It will hopefully bring this debate to rest!
Time also occurs away from earth. No matter what these people believe, time will occur. It doesn’t need anyone to believe in it.
The "plane must dip" argument would also be false around a very small planet. Here is a simple experiment that shows why: Take an analog clock and a small stick such as a match or a toothpick. Attach the stick perpendicularly to one of the clock hands. The stick will rotate with the clock hand without ever having to dip its nose. For an external point of view, the stick rotates with the clock handle. The same applies to planes. They do not have to dip their nose. They only have to perform a rotation proportional to the traveled distance ; 1 degree every 40000/360 = 111 km. For a commercial plane traveling at 1000 km/h that means 9 degree/hour or 0.000417 rpm. This is an incredibly small rotation speed and as explained in the video, the pilot has nothing else to do than keep the plane roughly perpendicular to the direction of gravity (which also rotates by the same amount).
Oh this is lit 🔥🔥🔥🔥 3:35
I have an ex air force step uncle who spent an entire day saying the earth was flat when staying with him,I'm definitely sending this to him and hope he responds
Yo that outro song is Debussey, right? I just heard that song the other day.
Very live.
Your the reason why I try to do more research and ACTUALLY try to understand these things.
Thank you 🙏
On Antarctica, we also don't go there on a mass scale because 1: they have winter storms all the time that are dangerous to fly in, and 2: it's so cold that the plane fuel literally freezes so only certain relatively warm parts of the continent during the summer can be landed at.
I wonder how people who think planes have to dip their nose to fly try to explain planes landing with their noses pointed up.
Their brains short circuit.
Technically, aircraft would have to change their attitude to deal with the curve. However, the atmosphere is a dynamic system, aircraft have to constantly adjust their attitude, any curve adjustments would be insignificant and lost among the much greater ones needed to maintain straight and level flight.
The same applies to adjustments for the Coriolis effect.
@grahvis none of your explanation was necessary in response to what I said. What I was pointing out was how stupid it is for flat earthers to use the pitch of an airplane to refute the earth is a sphere. By stating that the earth isn't a sphere because airplanes don't fly with their noses down to account for the curvature of the earth is a stupid position to take when we know that planes can and do land with positive pitch angles.
Notice how when measuring degrees of a circle in trig or calc, you divide degrees into minutes and seconds. Almost like math in general has been related to circles, spheres
13:53 no lie, for a second...
i thought you went to antarctica to prove a point. lol. i havent wake up yet🤣😂😂😂
It's amazing to me how people in the states can just say shit with confidence and really believe it's true. Its so bizarre. When I used to live in England I would have little conversations with people about cultural differences between us and the Europeans. In American everyone is told there are no limits, so they behave that way. We have finally reached a point where the rugged individualism shit is poisoning the collective wellspring of thought.
It's so extremely embarrassing...
Really liking these new videos birdman great work as always, gladly watch more but still need that eew cinemasins the crow
Ish believes he's highly intelligent. He's just a very good business man.
We need waaaay more of this!!!
hmmmm.. If we where living on a flat Earth, wouldn't we all see the same stars in the sky??? I mean shit I am not a smart man but I would think if we were all standing on a flat Earth wouldn't we all look up and see the same stars or am I wrong?
Slight correction 5:39, he was not wrong-Ish. He was completely wrong. (This is a joke don’t yell at me😐)
Been a fan for a while now, videos like THESE, are a an absolute GO!!!!!
The concept is easy to understand honestly. Podcast like this exist for one fundamental reason: For a multitude of societal issues, people don't not understand how little they stand to "lose" by simply admitting to not knowing or not understanding something and get the corrected answer when questions arise. Instead, many will make something up, like some act of refusing to show weakness from lack of knowledge. To avoid looking like fools short term, but in fact become true fools long term. Then add the need to "double-down" rather than course correct, still preferring the illusion to save face over growth.
I don't know if it's Media or discomfort among peers but they would rather do anything other than admitting to a gap in information or understanding and growing from it.
The point of planes not “dipping their nose” is so painfully obvious. It’s crazy that Ish even said that shit so confidently to be honest. The picture of the plane n the globe in contrast to how small the plane actually is compared to the earth is a great visual way of showing the point also.
It’d be dope if you made more debunking videos like this
Please do more content like this! It's been a great video to listen to.
A subtitle to this video could’ve been “let’s see a bunch of people not know how how big the Earth is”
I agree with everything you said, I’m not a flat earthier and hell me and my friends actually joke about them
Oh Im down for debunking
Circumference of the earth at the equator, about 40 million meters.
A380 wingspan, 80 meters.
We are but a speck of dust in the grand scheme of things.
Lord jamar went off about flat earth on the godfrey podcast too. The ignorance is concerning. Thanks for a bit more perspective on why some folks might believe this stuff.
I've been enjoying your EWW and movie review videos for years and if you slamming on idiots is going to be a new thing, then I'm here for it. Not only do you insult people, but you take the time to do reasearch if you don't know an answer and give quality content.
Keep it up!
@6:52 absolutely right, and your point is backed up even more by the fact that multistage rockets exist. Each stage in a step rocket has its own propellant and engines that get jettisoned as they are no longer needed, and this even being necessary for rockets using powerful fuel and designed to go straight up makes a plane flying off the earth seem even more ridiculous
Great video man, hope it prevents some people from going down the flat earth conspiracy rabbithole
I love these Debunks!
Henrietta Lacks' story specifically, or eugenics, phrenology, psychology, forced sterilization, medical discrimination, and so many other things rooted so deeply in white supremacy that if you really look into things the rabbit hole gets very dark, very quick; are just a few things off the top of my head as to why black people don't trust science. BUT, we are some of the largest consumers of technology, and our adaptation to new media and platforms is LITERALLY BEING STUDIED. That being said, i read books so all this flat earth stuff HAS to be for the clickbait, right? RIGHTT!?
This video gave me liking of science than what highschool taught me. (Ngl, I like science, but it’s hard to learn from the subject, you just said fluently)
I like these cause I can get educated while I'm doing work.
Hell yeah this is becoming a series!
These probably aren’t your most popular videos but I’ll watch every single one with glee! Th3Birdman suffers no fools and I’m here for it every time
I really like these types of videos. I hope that you do more if you feel like it.
Another Birdman video dunking on dumb conspiracies? Hell yeah!
Professor Dave explains would obliterate these guys.
Yeah, but I'm sure by now he's tired of explaining every way their conspiracy makes no sense
Professor Dave ripping Flat Earther Dave in a live stream was the best
I really thought his Globebuster video put an end to flerf crap for good. I had too much hope for humanity
Oh lord what Joe do this time? 🤦🏾♂️
Joe wasn’t even in this Patreon ep
Nice, video about flateartherers made on my birthday. Thanks! Btw these "icewalls" somehow reminds me Lovecraft and his hidden mountain ranges in Antarctica...
we debunking ancient aliens next?
i love this video. u are so smart u explin everything in an easy and understandable way
Aircraft have flown over Antarctica, the main reason why they don't is that it doesn't lie between two major airline hubs. The great circle route between Sydney and Santiago only passes over sea ice, not the continent itself. Of course, the concept of great circle routes goes way over flat earther's heads.
Love you, Birdman!
Da govment don’t won’t yous to know 😂😂😂
That had me cracking up.
Good to see more people who're not mainly "globe-youtubers" standing up to this idiocy.
Shame this is necessary, but here we are in 2024 having to "discuss" the shape of the planet...
I've thoroughly enjoyed this series, I'll admit I'm not one who's watched your gaming content (don't hate me), but this has brought me in despite only previously watch EWWCS series
take a model globe, glue 2 laser pointers to each pole a few degrees off perfect axis (off center for the kids). spin the globe with a floor and ceiling or a wall on each side, observe the relative spin from the laser pointers.
This video did a great job about making me realize how cool this planet it, I never pieced together that if you live in the southern hemisphere you’d see different stars from the north that’s cool asf
Honestly, hearing Birdman’s soothing voice explain stupidity and why it’s stupid is exactly what I needed to start my day ☺️
The algorithm has finally brought you back to me after the drought i had since godzilla vs kong did it suck. Good shit birdman!
Ahhh. I had to begrudgingly agreed with Joe Budden recently so this was a good pallate cleanser. Thank you 🙏🏽
Oh shit... I love the recent diversity in content brother💪🏾💪🏾
Please continue making these debunking videos
