Five Worst Arguments in Flat Earth Debate: Analysis With FTFE 

Quite a few Eskimos would as well. Also there is such a thing known as snow blindness where the brightness of the sun overhead plus the reflections from the snow combine to burn out your eyes if you don’t wear the right eye protection.

He: yOu cAn'T gEt sUnBuRn dUrInG wInTeR. Me: B*TCH DO YOU THINK THE SUN JUST DISAPPEARS THREE MONTHS EVERY YEAR?!

@@Isolder74 this would explain why they invented those interesting goggles with vertical square holes in them. To keep the snow and excess light out.

You get sunburned from the underside too, due to reflection off the snow.

Well I suppose if your close enough to the poles you can't get sunburnt on account of the complete lack of sun

Lmao

Lmfao!!!

Underrated comment lol

You can only really Measure spectroscopy in a Pringle’s can everyone knows that

He's so proud to be at the top of the Dunning-Kruger diagram...

I thought I heard wrong for a second. I just finished chem labs2 a few months ago and I had to rewind like hmm that’s definitely not what it was😂

🤦

@@osmo80 you have zero understanding of what you just posted 🤣. Just because you lost something doesn't mean you understood it.

@@osmo80 nothing you copied and pasted says Spectroscopy measure gasses. Spectroscopy is a study OF ALL THINGS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT KINDS OF ELEMENTS IT IS MADE OF. It isn't strictly gas. EVERYTHING REFLECTS LIGHT AND DEPENDING THE COLORS THEY REFLECT BACK, YOU CAN DETERMINE WHAT ITS MAKE UP. You're definitely a flerf, you argue like a flerf, and you act like a flerf, and moronic like a flerf.

And on it there are craters which never move, but which cast shadows, all which can be easily observed with a cheap amateur telescope.

Or the solar eclipise proves not even that intense light can get through it.

"We" landed on it? You mean you landed on it? That's why you know it, okay. 😂

We brought back rocks. And planted a flag, in the solid ground

Not to mention, if it weren’t solid. Why is the moon pattern all the same for years? Surely flat earthers understand gases and liquids move. I don’t know much about science but it’s so funny how even a 5 year old knows more than these weirdos. And I like his “how would you know?” points. You could ask him back, how would you know that the earth is flat? Some weirdo told you?

Eh, I think it more so makes him come off like a child who can't contain his emotions during a debate.

This should be a multi-part series.

Excellent point

When all this flat-earth nonsense started to build up hype, I honestly, truthfully thought it was 1 giant prank or troll just to wind the world up, then learning these people were actually being serious, I had to sit quietly by myself and wonder how these people are allowed out of their houses unsupervised.

You should look into some of it. It makes more sense then u think.

No... surely not! I must've missed that. How can someone be so clueless???

Confirmed, they believe that they are the center of the universe.

Completely insane belief

To explain why this is stupid: Left and right only describe positions relative to the orientation of your own body. East and west are not relative to your body. They are relative to either the magnetic poles of the Earth, or the rotation of the Earth around its axis. Either way works, and the magnetic poles hold true even if you reject a spherical model of Earth. The sun rises in the magnetic east and sets in the magnetic west, regardless of your body's orientation. That's why it can rise on your left one day, and on your right the next. The sun's trajectory across the sky has not changed. Only your orientation has changed. As another poster said, you are not the centre of the universe. The sun does not revolve around you.

You’re completely right. That was what a 4 year old child would think

​​@@Globeisahoaxx yeah, because every planet in the universe is basically a Circle EXCEPT THE EARTH Very Logic

@@Globeisahoaxx No, its a circunference, a globe, like the Sun, The Moon and the rest of planets

By the way, he just block me xD

So, i gonna say it here. Realms like Norse Mythology stuff or what? And you can use a Telescope to just see the Moon. Its not a "light", that, by the way, needs energy to sustain, energy that does not exist in the moon, because its a piece of rock that is created for a astronomic event billions of years in the past. And by the way, you do you explain the sea moves then? If there isnt a Moon

Exactly. A bit frustrating, not sure why he/we bother to undertake this experience.

Kindergarten dropout, more like. Even a literal toddler these days should've seen a globe at some point without throwing a fit over a damn sphere.

@@lmoral222 properly t-bagged

This wasn't about "winning an argument" with a stupid person, it was all about pointing out how stupid someone is, not for them, but for people watching the video.

All conspiracies work the same. flat earth, bigfoot, religion, antivaxx, all of it. conspiracy thing->a powerful cabal is behind it->the jews.

It's simple they are hiding the truth from you just to keep you away from God (NASA means to deceive in Hebrew).Flat Earth proves that there is a God and it's in the bible.

Is it possible he meant "it needs a container" as in, when you're in a high school or college class, you put the gas in a container and place it right up against the spectrometer to prevent interference? For students that makes it easier, but obviously experts can account for any confounding factors like that when they're measuring the real world

@@PopperOfCorn let's not give people that believe the earth is flat any benefit of doubt because again they think the earth is flat. That shows us all where they are on the intelligence spectrum. The sad part is they know more facts about the globe and the physics of the globe then most people, the problem is they think that all of those things are not true. So again it shows where they are on the intelligence spectrum. They must have been using the flat earth GPS system when going to pick up there intelligence when "GOD" was handing it out. It is sad that my 6 year old hears some of what they say and even she looks confused and says they are wrong. It is actually really funny to see a 6 year old knowing more then grown adults.

The other issue that I have with these morons is the fact that they all want to use information from hundreds of years ago because they think it supports what they think, when it has all been proven wrong sonmany times. That and the show us proof, you do and they cry it is fake or CGI. Like NASA has the ability to produce real time CGI of astronauts doing tours of the ISS. How stupid are these people. And for this idiot and all others that say the atmosphere is in a container (dome, firmament or whatever else they claim) I just want to see them go up in a airplane to 30 or 40 thounds feet and de-pressureize the plain and not use supplemental oxygen. See how well it works out for them because if the atmosphere is in a container it would uniformly distribute in that container so they should not need supplemental oxygen to survive.

I got multiple other logic bombs for ya: latitude can only exist when the Earth's rotation.

@@PopperOfCorn well, if that’s what he meant it’s a null point. What people do for ease in an elementary introduction class has little to do with what’s actually required. He also had the chance to clarify so I’m pretty sure he meant what he said, that spectroscopy requires a container.

Dude think about it lol the only person who would ask that randomly is someone who doesn’t think the earth is a globe lmao you got your tip from a flat earther! Probably felt bad for you when you said you watch fake prof dave.

​@@PalladiumTVBecause they didn't land on the moon. It's all faked CGI 😂😂😂

I can't believe yall fall for the space talk 😂

@@fcarter3863ok…do u think it’s possible to go the moon ever? What if there’s another moon landing in 2070? I assume that will be fake too right? So, basically leaving our planet is not possible?

Is that supposed to be funny? You really spent 10 mins thinking of writing that?

@@SKing-on9gt I can understand why it's not funny to flat earth morons.

Because they keep and keep on trying but always bust themselves

Sooooo fkng true! It's why I always say I'll never try to convince someone the sky is blue. It's patently obvious and self-evident. If someone is denying that, it's obvious they NEED it to be some other color, and logic and facts can never overcome that need.

You don’t need to convince an idiot. Eventually he will contradict himself as he has no clue on what he is talking about

@@cryptojihadi265 technically, the "sky" isn't very well defined... and even after disregarding that bit, it's not really blue. I used to think it's transparent / colourless, but iirc i stumbled upon a minute physics video that said it was purple / violet, based off of the actual wavelengths. Now, if you had said "APPEARS blue" instead of "is," then sure, i couldn't have argued with that, it definitely appears as if it were blue. ^^

I disagree. Winning an argument with an idiot is easy because convincing them they are wrong isn't required.

"mainstream science" is just as good as "scienceism" at indicating the person saying it has literally no clue how science works. It is akin to putting an " I am scientifically illiterate but like to comment on it anyways" badge on

Diarmuid, you must be Oirish. Astrophysics is not science. It's scientism.

@@hickswasright Astrophysics is part emperical, part theoretical- it doesn't claim to the contrary, though. You can deny the validity of the theoretical portions in good faith (though I would expect a reason for dismissal), but it is by no means "scientism." "This is our best explanation based on what we can see and observe" leaves open the possibility for a better or different explanation. Scientists know that a working theoretical explanation isn't absolute. I don't understand how one conflates this as being similar to blind faith in something

@@Krugis i appreciate your level headed comment and as you say the theoretical is not a "be all and end all". Sadly, Diarmuid is a believer. You know that real science is not afraid of new evidence or review, and Eric Dubay and Dave Weiss have introduced new questions. Simply shouting down is not good enough in my opinion.

@@hickswasright did you even read his comment? I don't think you did.

@@Globehoax Days are shorter south of the equator when you have long days at your house, chief. Does the garden of eden move?

@@Globehoax south is south, "bottom of the sphere" is a fictional concept invented by the mentally infirm to push a narrative, as even most grade schoolers understand that spheres do not have tops or bottoms Nice non sequitur, though. So, answer my question: why are the days longer in the south when they're shorter up north? Does Eden move? How does the sun move over the entire tropic of Capricorn during southern hemisphere summer every day without speeding up in the sky? It's over twice as long of a line on your map, chief Can you also precisely explain how the longer days work down there in general? With the sun moving so much further, it sure is odd that all these places on opposite sides of the disc from each other all get 16+ hour days in the heart of their summer months Hmmm

​@@Globehoax Traditionally, but there's not really a bottom or a top

He doesn't even have to buy a ticket to Sweden he can just do it in the good old United States and go up to Alaska where I am from and often witnessed the same thing you did.

I think it's pretty neat you can experience roughly the same sort of really long "days" and "nights" in both of those places, given they're pretty far apart geographically speaking. There's probably some explanation for it I don't currently get, but man. The world gets cooler the more you learn about stuff.

He doesn't understand that gravity decreases the further you go from an object SQUARED, MEANING THAT IT GETS WEAKER VERY VERY FAST

you don't. you just walk away and find some tylenol.

Me an intellectual: Object in hand isn't heavy because of gravitational force, but because of force you are using to hold it in place... but i guess the whole thing about mass bending space time will make flat earthers' brains melt

Priceless...😅

When the best move is not to play

@@zeusonolympus123 Then you should read what is the definition of theory in science, it's vastly different that a common use of this word. Theories can never become facts. Fact is an observation. Based on observation you create an hypothesis. If you prove the hypothesis to a certain degree, then it becomes a theory. Misunderstanding on what theory is in science is a common reason for misinterpretation and saying "it's just a theory"

Lmao, "Our Dave," that sounds hilarious. I love looking at these comments where everyone has to specify which Dave they're talking about. It's unfortunate that our man has to share the same name with such a goofy ass conspiracy theorist nutjob.

You are as smart as everyone else around the globe! "Education" is something else than "intelligence" or "being smart". Superstitious and stupid beliefs are even independant of being educated or smart. We're having a lot of issues with anti-vaxxers and superstitious alternative medicine in my country.

And thought that big college word would trip the professor up. LOL. What a schmuck!

I suspect what David was trying to do is imply that the local variance of the direction of the geomagnetic field would confuse some people's sense of cardinal directions. Little does he know that Mintaka and η Aquarius each rise at due east and set at due west for everyone and that a point roughly between Achemar and The Southern Cross is due south and that local cardinal directions can be accurately determined by tracking any star that appears to travel a large angular distance across the night sky. (Take three unit-length beatings of a star A, B, C over two decent time intervals. Calculate N′ = (C−B)⨯(B−A). N = N′(1/||N′||) is the vector to the celestial north pole, which may be turned into azimuth and elevation at leisure.)

I love this. Magnetic declination is just the angle between the geographic North and the magnetic North. Its just a measurement. He might as well have said age.

As much as I would like australia to be giant, it's sadly not.

Exactly, all technology including the device she is watching the video on depends on that same science.

They have to deny gravity for flat earth to have a chance

I think it's hilarious that people who believe the Earth is a globe base all their theory on what they've been told.. you've never even left the Earth's surface, but you're so sure you're right 🤣 that's like giving a review for a restaurant you've never eaten at... You're all pushing a narrative that you've been indoctrinated to push. Why are you so beside yourself if people believe the Earth is flat? Does it affect you personally? Your ignorance is astounding that you think you need to ridicule somebody who believes differently than you when your thought process isn't going to get you anywhere any faster.

@@iggysfriend4431 Their "explanations" all fail due to being either inconsistent with observations, or internally inconsistent - or being simply nonsense. Their misunderstanding and misuse of scientific words also invalidate their puny efforts.

@@XraynPR, I agree completely. If Prof Dave was being snarky with someone who was asking questions or even doubting mainstream science in good faith then I think the snark would be uncalled for. But this dude, Flat Earf Dave, is a charlatan and was totally deserving of Prof Dave's wrath.

I do think Dave's approach of berating and belittling his opponents can be counter productive as it makes him look like a bully, and doesn't advance the argument.

Not a flat earther just watched professor daves other flat earth debunks and common arguments they use.

And who is the biggest purchaser of helium in the earth?

It seems to be that the person failing to understand spectrography seemed to be confusing it for gas chromatography.

A constantly shifting peppering of ad-hoc explanations which aren't even internally consistent, nevermind consistent with reality. Yep, people believe in Flerf somehow

@@Krugis For a great laugh - followed by a few years of feeling bad because it'll be at least 10 minutes of your life that you won't be getting back - look at some of the "very scientific" FE-theories of a sub-sect of FE'ers that believe the earth is both flat AND hollow, with another *_spherical_* planet hidden inside it... which is reached through a tunnel on the north pole... which only has one access point, in an ice wall, which NASA/the galactic human government is guarding because that's what our lizzard overlord masters who live on the spherical planet inside the hollow flat earth want them to do. There's a few different sub-sects who all follow their own version of that flat-but-hollow-earth-with-a-spherical-planet-inside nonsense, and they're funnier than any comedic act, at least until you realize they're serious, and then even less funny than not-funny when you realize that you just spent time out of your life listening to their nonsense and you're not getting those minutes back.

@@Krugis imma start using "flerf"

They have like 7 models to explain the individual phenomena, and all of them conflict.

Wow, mainstream scientism has you by the balls… I don’t know what the moon is made of but neither does Armstrong cuz he was also never there…

@@LeV01D since you are asking....the most.likely reason the earth´s shape was fairly recently changed into a globe is to hide the possibilty of additional land. a globe is fimite. a plane can be infinite. one of the mistakes the globers make is calling us flatearthers when the more correct term would be non-globers. In the day an age the task is to first find the lie..(globe/virus/elections...) and once that has been established to search for the TRUTH. we are taking baby-steps to disprove the globe and once that is taken dare of we can jointly look to find the true shape, how things work and how to prosper from the knowledge. good day

Plot twist: flat earth is a psyop.

I never believed in flat earth (thankfully I came up with lots of things indicating that it's not flat), but I used to be a conspiracy type of guy. What made me not really believe but seriously consider some of the alternative history and such is the fear of being fooled. It's a well known fact that undemocratic regimes distort the history in order to make a strong association between the modern government and the past glory, so tge question "why would anyone need to fool the entire humanity?" was barely ever risen. Since then I have watched lots of science content, gave up the alternative "theories" and even gave up religion. But still even today I often come across claimes like "THAT scientist has built the car that works on water", "THIS engineer has discivered levitation", I even heard from my university teacher that a guy he knows built a pseudoscientific vortex heat generator and that it works - and that makes me scared that maybe I still have the wrong idea how this world works and maybe there IS some conspiracy in oil industry (like there was one among light bulb manufacturers, which I'm not sure really happened, but is talked about), and maybe science community doesn't accept new inventions that supposedly defy laws of physics as we know them. Like, seriously, it's hard to say "it's wrong because it wasn't published in a peer reviewed scientific journal" when someone claimes that science community won't publish it because they're being d**ks. You can't accept video demonstration as proof for obvious reasons, but you also can't dismiss those claims of new inventions simply because they're not published somewhere, because the honest way of thinking is to always be open to the possibility that this time the alternative guy is correct. Simply because I, an unemployed man-child nolifer, watched hundreds of hours of science debunking alternative and conspiracy arguments, I don't instantly believe every time I hear something like "Boris Natashev invented a new source of energy and was k1ll3d bu KGB because Garzprom money", but a lot of alternative enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists are old men with jobs, families, unhealthy vodka consumption (I genuinely don't want this to make them sound worse than they are) and, being old dudes, much less mental power to sense lies. They are not necessarilly d*mb people, they're actually smart. They're smart enough to try to think what sounds logical (even though they haven't reached that education level at which they have the right sense of logic). They have a healthy skepticism towards obscure ideas (except they spend way more time at alternative resources, and what is doubious to them is not what is doubious to us). And all those stu pid things they say are not necessarilly a product of them being unable to logic, it's more of the result of them not trusting the science. Like, that thing "believe what you can witness or prove on your own" is actually a pretty healthy idea! Yes, it's super inefficient, and our civilization is what it is because humans trust other humans, their observations and conclusions. But I wouldn't say it's something only a du*b person would follow.

@@Music_Just_Stoppedthat’s why pilots use flat earth maps in order to fly. When people’s lives are on the line, the truth is needed for survival

Ok, let's say I have a sudden lapse in intellect and was even remotely willing to entertain the idea of a flat earth.... have any of them offered any reasonable explanation as to why there would ever be this huge conspiracy to lie about the shape of the earth? If the earth is flat, why all this effort to make us believe otherwise? What is to be gained by doing so? Most conspiracy theories, even the craziest most outlandish offer some reason why the truth would be covered up. In fact, the reason for the cover up is kind of one of the bigger scandals of a truly good conspiracy cover up. It almost always comes down to certain entities fearing threats to expose bigger goings on than just the one little thing being covered up. So, there's a huge cover up to keep the masses from ever realizing the truth of our worlds being flat.... what's the bigger picture they fear being exposed? They never say why anyone would have ever initiated a huge mind fuck like this. How is it we are the only flat planet? Or are they denying the existence of space? It blows my mind that anyone could truly believe that nonsense. It's just crazy.

I think he got confused with a spectrometry. You use light to measure gases or liquids that are in a container.

TBF, the concept of a "spectrum" applies to more than just light...

That just a dumb argument

@@professionalslaveowner489 not really. After my few times conversing with a flat earther who I thought didn't even exist until I met 1, which then became 2 who had very different flat earth views I realized that trying to use actual science and numbers won't work. They both quickly go straight to science is a lie that the elites made up. So you have to use their own dumb talking points to watch them squirm out of their situation.

​@@Chris-yb8bg So they are just people who doesn't believe science and by saying the Earth is flat is just the saying science is a lie.

Nah he needs to go back to Kindergarten, kind of reminds me of Billy Madison

agreed, compared to his debate with the creationist dude, this debate was fucking brutal and so sharp at the same time. it felt like that last scene from 8 mile where Eminem disses his opponent to the extent that everything around him just collapses and he chokes

I would disagree since he was pretty much always condescending and insulting the guy 24/7. I know Professor Dave is right and eveything but its not good debate etiquette to insult your opponent and interrupt them all the time

@@nelsonpereira7204 I agree. Name calling… still an educated dude but no need to insult… you lose the objective

Dave simplifies it for people with a smaller brain fraction than 50%. They would never undersrand.

and then they need to explain how the gasses are contained on a flat earth if not thorugh an atmosphere, un less they are arguing for the biblical firmament but has its own set of issues.

@@user-pd6ev9gb7j dave simplifice it for me cause i am too dump for all that science xD

You aren't wrong but I would point out that the container it (seems) to need is spacetime

You're right, but that isn't the point. This guy is an idiot for insisting that you need a container for spectroscopy to even WORK.

yes, cuz this stuff make him to be more near about us, but like a friend n not like a professor.

This is a very true statement

Like being able to see on the opposite side of your house at 7am. "Does the light go through the house?" Jackass!!! Does he have zero concept how Gimongous the sun is compared to our tiny little piss ant planet, nor the brightness of a nuclear furnace, nor the unfathomable amount of light reaches the 3rd rock from the sun every second. I wonder if his mommy has to still dress and feed him and take him to the potty. But on the other hand, the exasperated look of incredulity on professor Dave's face is both hysterically funny and priceless.

Hey guys I have a picture of the full moon the morning after the eclipse that just recently happened! The sun was at least 5 degrees on my horizon while the moon was sitting at least 30 degrees. Does anyone have a link to a globe simulator that can explain this in the globe model? I have been looking for a couple of weeks now and I can’t seem to find a good one! I’ve asked others and they just say I am lying.

@@ZedLepelinBoy no one on this thread is going to answer that question because they all think their thought process to Superior and if you are asking any questions that elude to anything other than we're on a spinning ball, they lose their shit 😂

You know that moment when you looked at some formula or calculation back in school, staring at it for a while till it made "click" and you go "AAH FINALLY I understand!" Now imagine flat earthers having a disability that prevents them ever receiving the moment where it clicks, even on elementary school physics concepts.
