Eric Dubay Sucks at Life (200 Flat Earth “Proofs” Debunked)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 апр 2024
- It's been quite some time since I checked in with flat earthers, those pathetic grifters peddling the dumbest hoax in the history of the human species. But I felt compelled to revisit the subject in order to debunk the fraud who is still regarded as some kind of flat earth messiah, Eric Dubay. His ridiculous pamphlet commonly referred to as "200 Flat Earth Proofs" was just a rehashed version of a pamphlet from nearly two centuries prior by a fellow named Sam Rowbotham. So what could these proofs be? Do any of them hold water? Not a single one, in fact. However idiotic you think they're going to be, I promise they are much worse. Watch me obliterate them all rapid fire!

If the Earth were actually flat, Flat Earthers would believe it’s a globe.
This! Absolutely!
Or some OTHER shape.
#CubeEarth
#DodecahedronEarth
#PyramidEarth
Given that the contrarianism and specialfeels is the point of Flat Earth...this is depressingly true.
Donut shaped and hollow!
I doubt that, to prove the earth is a globe requires using the brain.
So basically, 200 "proofs" are nothing more than 40 lies phrased differently.
😂 people like you shouldn’t be allowed to vote
I apologize I didn’t read that right Iam actually like fucking retarded
About 8 independent thoughts, all just rephrased endlessly.
Apparently though, it resonates convincingly with some individuals.
Yes that’s it exactly. Greater Sapien has been debunking these “proofs” individually. And essentially there are the same claim worded differently
Everything is a conspiracy when you don't know how anything works.
That sounds like a conspiracy. Coincidence??? 🤣
also there are actual conspiracies, so there is that.
I don't know how some of these things work and I don't understand the explanation, but I understand *THAT* they work and honestly I can't be arsed to break my brain over these things, the earth isn't flat, still don't really understand how summer and winter happen but honestly I understand that they happen and thats all I really need to know. (Mostly just confused because I thought it was about how the earth is further away from the sun or closer depending on the time of year, as in the earth doesn't orbit the sun in a perfect circle but rather like an oval shape, so why is it summer on one side and winter on the other side at the same time?)

This Eric guy is really lucky that breathing happens automatically. If he had to think about it, he would be dead.
reminds me of a scene in a book, "there will be dragons" by John Ringo, where someone is insulting a villian, and one insult is something like "you must have a tiny demon sitting on your shoulder, whispering 'breathe", or you would cease that vital activity for sheer lack of thought."
How would he imagine being a dolphin, which would have to voluntary breathe and sleep with half a brain on
Like dolphins😆
Good insult let me just….
**steals it**
Damn you!!! Now I have to think about it for the next few minutes
Flat earth fails on every point. The geocentric flat earth has...
• No working model, or map.
• No way to determine proper distances, or directions between two point on the earth not sharing the same longitude.
• No explanation for how the sun and the moon circle the earth, or how the sun migrates from the tropic of Capricorn to the tropic of Cancer and back over the year.
• No idea why the ancient Greeks such as Pythagoras, Aristotle, Eratosthenes and Aristarchus believed the earth was a sphere.
• No idea what P and S shockwaves detected by seismology equipment tells us about the internal structure of the earth, and the shape and dimensions of the surface of the earth.
• No idea what powers the sun and the stars.
• No idea of the distance to the stars.
• No ideas as to why almost all stars don't appear to change position in the sky from opposite sides of earth's orbit around the sun when the phenomena of parallax says they should, and why we can only use the parallax method for measuring the distance of stars that are closest to the earth. Luckily, Polaris is one that we can determine the distance to using parallax, because it is also a Cepheid variable star, which allows the distance to be measured to much more distant stars where the parallax method not longer works.
• No idea of the distance from the earth to the planets, or even much about them at all.
• No idea why binary stars obey Newton's law of gravitation.
• No explanation as to why we can only see 59% of the total surface area of the moon when, from a flat earth perspective we should be able to see most of it, including the dark side of the moon.
• No idea why the moon appears upside down in the southern hemisphere compared to how it looks in the northern hemisphere, and why the phases of the moon are on opposite sides of the Moon, and why it looks circular from all vantage points on the earth.
• No idea why sunspots rotate in the opposite direction in the southern and northern hemispheres, or even what sun spots are.
• No believable explanation for how GPS is implemented across the world.
• No explanation as to why aircraft carry ring laser gyros onboard capable of detecting the rotation of the earth.
• No idea how it is possible to develop gravitational maps of the earth's surface, or why anyone would want one, or how they could be used.
• No explanation for how eclipses work, especially lunar eclipses, or how to predict them correctly.
• No idea why the Humber bridge, the Verrazzano Narrows bridge are built to account for the earth's curvature.
• No idea why CERN, LIGO and the Stanford linear accelerator vacuum rings and arms are constructed to take account of the earth's curvature.
• No idea why physicists working on LIGO, the gravity wave detector, were awarded Nobel prizes in physics.
• No idea why geodetic surveyors keep claiming the earth is an oblate spheroid.
• No idea why Google Earth does not publish its underlying flat earth model that allows it to project the earth as a globe.
• No explanation as to why the sun rises due east for everyone on the earth on the equinox.
• No idea why an observer on the equator during an equinox does not see the sun set at an angle 19° above the horizon.
• No idea why there should be a discernible horizon that looks like the edge of the ocean viewed from a beach. The horizon should really be a blur as the farther we look out across the flat earth, the more light is scattered and the more particles in the atmosphere obscuring the view.
• No idea how it is possible to see the sun set twice simply by changing your height above the earth (quickly by just a few tens of metres).
• No reasonable explanation as to how Polaris can be used in conjunction with a sextant in the northern hemisphere to determine latitude.
• No explanation as to why the Artic and Antarctic experience months of days and nights at differ times of the year.
• No explanation why bright little objects called satellites by some are regularly visible in the night sky following a predicted path across the sky
• No explanation for how tides work.(What to say about Magma tides, their biscuit Earth should crack in pieces) • No explanation how (most times) boats disappear over the horizon when they should be visible on a flat earth.
• No explanation as to why the horizon does not rise to eye level.
• No credible explanation why helium balloons fitted with non-fish eye cameras often detect the curvature of the earth.
• No credible explanation for the existence of the "Downward" force called gravity.
• No explanation that does not implicitly make use of the theory of gravity for the atmospheric pressure gradient from high to low pressure with altitude, especially if we live in a dome.
• No idea why (almost without exception) hurricanes and typhoons rotate in opposite directions in northern and southern hemispheres respectively.
• No explanation for the Coriolis effect observable in controlled experiments such as those conducted by Ascher H. Shapiro in the 1960s.
• No explanation as to why the northern celestial pole rotates counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and the southern celestial pole rotates clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
• No idea what Antarctica even looks like, and where the South Pole is physically located.
• No idea why Venus has phases. Bye bye Geocentric system.
• No idea why planets, e.g. Mars, exhibit retrograde motion. Hello Heliocentric system.
• No idea why the planets and their moons in the solar system appear to be obeying Newton's laws of planetary motion.
• No explanation whatsoever why Stellar Aberration occurs.
• No idea why clouds are illuminated from the bottom at sun set.
• Can't explain how a commercial aircraft can fly from Perth to Sydney in only 4 hours 10 mins across the flat earth, as to achieve this, it would need to fly faster than an F18 on afterburner all the way.
• No idea why the CO2 atmosphere of Mars appears to "Cling" to the exterior of its spherical spinning surface without the need for physical containment. This phenomenon is observable on others planets too.
• No idea why the sun and the moon don't change in angular size from rising to setting by a factor of 2 to 3 since they are local to the earth, and no idea why the sun according to the inverse law of radiation is not 4 to 9 times brighter at midday than at sunset and sunrise when viewed from Australia.
• No credible reason why millions of people (mostly scientists, engineers and technicians ) over decades would lie to keep the globe earth alive, and why nations and commercial enterprises, accountable to the voters and shareholders respectively, would spend (waste) $2 trillion a year , each and every year to maintain the globe lie.
• No idea how it is possible to measure the value of G, the universal gravitational constant and in so doing, verify the theory of gravity.
• No scientific papers publish in the last 100 years supporting the flat earth.
• No idea why there is snow on height mountains with a local sun as it has to get warmer and snow should melt if you get closer to the sun. Now the globe earth and the heliocentric model have answers that are consistent with each other to all of the above that the flat earth can't explain, but the globe earth is wrong and the flat earth is correct , even although the flat earth model is almost useless at explaining anything?

What's sad is I went through the christian education system, and while we were never taught the world is flat. I am constantly amazed at the amount of stuff I wasn't taught.

I gave one a line diagram of a sphere with an observer standing at north. He had claimed the horizon could NOT drop on a globe. There was a boundary from the observer at a set distance and a line from the observer eye down to that horizon marked "horizon".

Thanks! Dave, you deserve a trophy for getting through all 200 items of that stupidity. Thank you for making it somewhat tolerable.
I think there were only something like 8 actual ideas in there, all either stupid or fraudulent.
One of the joys of not really caring either way is observing that both the guy who wrote the book and the guy debunking the guy that wrote the book, used the same logic to prove each other wrong. You gave your money to a guy that "disproves" another guy by saying "he lied about the distance and his math is wrong," about 30 times. Didn't bother to get the ACTUAL mileage or show why the math was wrong, just said the same phrase over and over, claiming this was a "debunk." Also...please notice in no way did I insult the RUclipsr by calling him an idiot, or dumb, or whatever mean and condescending terms he used. You can have a difference in opinion while also being a kind human being. Do I personally believe the Earth is flat? No. I don't.

These Flerfs often accuse me of Lying about my Job.
This is because:
1 - I test fiber-optic gyroscopes by using earth rotation as the stimulus. I have been doing this for almost 30 years now. I have tested the Litton LN-200, The Northrup Grumman SSIRU, the Airbus Astrix-120, the Honeywell MIMU, and my next project will fly another SIRU.
2 - AFTER I test these gyros (using earth rotation as the stimulus) I install them onto real spacecraft, launch them to space, then USE THEM to point the spacecraft to do things like: Takes Photos of the earth from space.
insert a flat earther saying "fiber optic means OPTICUUL!! It's a hologram projector! He's the guy who makes the fake round earth images!!!"
My respects sir!
NUH UH!
They must be like “wow you go through all of it just to LIE TO US?” lol
Wow man! That’s so cool! Kinda makes me feel unproductive lol
I don't know whether to be amazed or disappointed that so many of these are just re-phrasings of "I don't understand Conservation of Momentum, and I have to protect my kids from understanding it!"
This is so stupid. We literally have a live stream of earth from the ISS, and guess - its not flat. Or just get on a plane and see for yourself.
Well that would require brain cells to realize that. But no, they're all bunch of fuxking morons that don't have a brain cell between them
Anything that debunks the flat earth fantasy is obviously fake
If the Earth was actually flat, Eric Dubay would deposit 500,000 dollars on my bank account by Friday.

So yeah , some flat Earthers genuinely believe in the Pacman Effect.

"I don't believe you are real, therefore YOU ARE A BOT!" this logic is hella broken, like bruh XD
Great pun tho
Today I learned that all skateboarders are CGI.
That's gotta be some kind of fallacy
Here's a faster debunk: We can't see the sun at night.
They like to pretend light arbitrarily stops at 3000 miles.
I learned that from a flerf in the comments of one of Dave McKeegan's videos. When I pointed out that you can see the sun at the same time in both Oslo, Norway and Cape Town, South Africa (distance: roughly 6300 miles), they resorted to one of the things Dave called out in this vid, and just lied about the number.
@@NeutralDrow But then they'll hold up pictures of places that they can see with a camera, supposedly too far away to see because of curvature, but they can see because the earth if flat. But they can't take a picture of the sun at night.

He conserved his momentum, but not his balance. 😁
Laughed so hard at "Shine a flashlight on a beach ball or something. Get your life together." 😂
That one statement should be the motto for debunking Flat Earthers from here on out.
I literally laughed out loud at that. I had the same argument with a flat earthers the other day that said it's impossible for the moon to reflect light. I said, you know, every thing we see is reflecting light, that's how we see things.

That’s the issue. Flat earthers will deny what they themselves learned in school. Keep on studying and ignore those idiots 👍
I made a scientific experiment on the sun deck of a ferry for my kids when they were at age six because half a year earlier they both asked: "Daddy, how do you know that the earth is spherical"
Ferry from Västervik, Sweden, to Visby, Gotland, Sweden.
At the sun deck the Island Gotland came up from below the horizon at approx the time we went there.
They had a beach ball and a toy car.
It took less than ten minutes before they could explain how they themselves had found out the shape of the globe.

"I can't understand it, so it's fake"
Better yet one word: attention
also: "my worldview is destroyed with facts, and I hate that, so it must be wrong, because im always right, there is no way im wrong"
another one is: "my worldview is destroyed with facts and evidence, so now I ignore it because of cognitive dissonance"
"They expained it 100x to me and I still don't get it. They must be lying."

It's funny how flerfs are constantly saying "this science this is too insane! The speeds, sizes, and distances in the globe model are too crazy!" But when it comes to trying to prove God they're like "look at these insane science facts! Clearly it must have been God!" All while arguing for a small, enclosed, simple universe because that's all they can comprehend; not realizing that arguing for a seemingly infinite, impossible to comprehend universe is more in line with the characteristics of their God.
@@Globehoax No observations have ever shown a flat earth.
Observable reality disproves a flat earth every day.
Flat earthers get all incredulous about the earth going 1000mph at the equator, but if the earth is stationary then it must be the sun and moon going 1000mph.
Even faster in December, and in the atmosphere as well. They don't seem to have a problem with that.
And somehow that local sun, bright enough to burn flesh, can't be seen in America when it's over Australia, not to mention the moon phases correlate with where the celestial bodies of the globe model would exist in 3D space, corpuscular rays also don't prove a local sun just like the end of railroad tracks is never just a few miles even though it looks like that, parallel lines may appear to meet due to perspective but they're still parallel
@@Globehoax that's sort of a flat earth problem, flat earth people don't have any substitute explanation for what their local sun would be that's based in science, and they can't do any of the science to prove what their sun is because they have to deny the legitimacy of that science because it denies the existence of their local sun

Hey Professor Dave! I’m an undergrad physics student minoring in math and I’ve been interested in flat earth obliteration for over 4 years now. Your videos are always funny and actually get me thinking about some of the phenomena that I can’t immediately explain! You’re one of the big reasons I got into physics, so thank you!
The reason you do not have more likes on your comment is, most are envious of intelligence in that they will never have ()it. It often makes me wonder what we'd be like if evolution gave all people 200 I.Q?)" Which is why most need to be told over & over again just like Eric & his ilk, just acknowledge it & seem dumber than you are to almost everyone. There will be very few occasions in life that you will need to demonstrate otherwise, & know that when you do, there's no going back to seeming less smart "48 Laws of Power" quote. Eric & his mob would've burned you at the stake centuries ago for you trying to educate them about basic physics! They'd have DEMANDED they & the world is the way it is, because of the made up gods people like you & me wrote into existence for a laugh over the campfire lol! If we'd have known humans would slaughter each other for thousands of years over words once written, we wouldn't have bloody bothered ha!... Live Long & Prosper.
I love the Mario Galaxy analogy! It's perfect! 😂
I don't know which is more impressive, the dedication to create 200 proofs, or the dedication to debunk them
neither is impressive in any capacity, to be honest.
The "200" proofs are straight copy and pastes from an old ass book, and at the *absolute most*, are 10 different things repeated in slightly different ways. But honestly seems more like the same five things.

True! Lived each one of it 😂😂😂
I was thinking the same, Dave could be a great comedian.
I've said it before and this just reinforces my feelings on the topic; the central tenet of flat-eartherism is not understanding how big the Earth is. Every single argument they make from not seeing a curve, to train tracks not considering the curve, to pictures of Earth from space or of a flat horizon, every one of them can be explained by the idea that these people think the Earth is really really small instead of really really big.
The entire movement is made up of people who cannot imagine how big the Earth is and so choose to believe that all the observations they make that don't support a small round earth must imply a small flat earth instead of realizing that they lack the imagination to visualize just how vast our planet is. I have trouble understanding sizes at a large scale too, but just because I cannot get my brain wrapped around the distance between the Sun and the Earth or how big a light-year really is *does not* mean that the sun is actually just painted on a firmament or something equally absurd. Some people will absolutely refuse to admit their lack of imagination and will ironically use what imagination they have to come up with something they can wrap their heads around without having to admit their own limitations.
They also use the mathematics for a paraboloid (z=x^2+y^2) that works pretty well for the distance to the horizon if you are at average length and stand with your feet wet at the shore. But for anything else, you need to use the formula for a oblate spheroid (r^2=x^2+y^2+z^2/1.00003) and account for observer height to calculate the distance to the horizon.
Ohhh dear... My favourite quote of this video is: Oceans do not have wings (15:20)
