Flat Earth "Science" -- Wrong, but not Stupid 

It would have been awesome to have sabine's videos when I was a kid, I used to read the same astronomy book over and over, it was my only sceintific knowledge source.

I’m 33, with a BS biology & PharmD. Also watched every video and learn something new each time. Danke schön Dr. Hossenfelder

You are doing right by yourself and your peers on earth to be learning so much! 34 y/o stranger very proud and impressed by your statement.

Your vocabulary is really good for a 10 year old.

dude, Moon is flat!

They do anything for a bit of attention don't they!

@@cabbagefart7432 To which I reply. respondeat superior. And since you are not one. You should learn to listen​ meus puer discipulus. I'll take it, you have no explanation or understanding of the standard model. IT is always a bore to see claims made that never have any scientific bases. Be advised young one I have no such shortcomings. What would you like to learn?

it's flat all right the horizon is at least 5 times further out than it should be . the horizon test is the test for flat earth and the globe fails badly every time . the horizon does not move from its position , which is at least 20 miles away , to where it should be which is 3 and a half miles if you're 8 feet above the ocean . no curvature to the ocean - flat

@Flat Eric Because that's how knowledge works.

@Flat Eric OK...I missed that!

Yes even if the answers are assumptions, non-scientific, misrepresentation

@@handtech3423 Of course not. That's what you have a brain for, to sift through the rubbish and come to a conclusion.

What conclusion did you come too. A pressurized ball next to a vacuum spinning and we came from monkeys.

The problem is that even being nice to flatters doesn't matter - they just "fake", "CGI" and "perspective" whenever they are at a loss for words. It's been my experience that flatters here just like being anti-, i think it finally gives them a sense of "smartness".

Thanks, Rachie. Having been active in this debate for over 10 years, I know that all too many debunkers have become so emotionally invested in their mantra of "FEs are irremediably inferior to us 'smart people' and will never reach a level where they can be reasoned with", that they (such debunkers) would prefer not to be told of ex-FEs like yourself. But for the benefit of debunkers who want to be more effective, could you give us a few example of people and resources who were most helpful to you?

@@JimSmithInChiapas : How about flat earthers at least attempt to do research into their claims about their own model? That is, without just making stuff up or complaining about why should be expected to prove anything.

@@kitcanyon658 I can't control what FEs do, so I'm asking what *_we_* can do. Starting with listening to ex-FEs like Rachie.

​@@kitcanyon658No...the flat earthers are biased lot.They are very dangerous people because they just assumed on what they see only...seeing in believing is their motto.

Albert Einstein said that human stupidity is infinite. When you consider him living during the time of 2 world wars, his comment is understandable.

it's just a show, she is deceiving you

Another example is Susan Blackmore, who writes critically but sympathetically about those who've had anomalous experiences that they interpret in nonscientific ways.

in regards to theory of relativity, albert einstein also claimed that gravity is a "Scheinkraft" (which is german for "it appears to be a force of its own when it's not") so why do you quote these people if you have no idea about them or physics... that's exactly the stupidity Einstein was referring to. @@bobs182

yea its an interesting dichotomy. To a layman like me I often find scientific topics over my head to fuel my sense of wonder and curiosity, whereas other's view the same with skepticism or even fall back on supernatural explanations which - to me - seem even more implausible..

The hard part is scientists would have to take into account the varying degree of intelligence of the audience and perhaps more frustrating, their degree of accepting evidence disproving their personal thoughts or feelings. For flat earthers, a lot of them just don’t want to believe anything coming from any government agency or religious entity.

@@fredman1085 I agree, that's the challenge, a challenge which could have been lessened or avoided if the education systems were improved. Obviously there is many factors involved in why so many people today seem to doubt many established truths despite not being able to understand the evidence.

Post any Earth Curvature either by Land or Sea.FE'ers are spot on.Water doesn't cling to a 1000 mph spinning ball.

@ronpapi9539 imagine a tiny toy car. Its wheels would need to complete a ridiculous number of rotations to get thousands of miles per hour. Now blow that up to a wheel the size of earth. It competes only 1/24th of a rotation by the time that little wheel on the toy car completes hundreds of thousands of rotations. It's not a ball that's spinning at ridiculous rates. It's a slow rate of rotation, just on an extremely large scale. Besides that, just the idea that we're on a floating disc is silly. If it's all free falling, or accelerating upwards, or however you'd like to think of it-- how would you account for everything in the heavens to be moving around both in their orbits that we see, but also somehow staying along with our trajectory? What I mean is, why would there be stars or planets or anything? Why wouldn't it all have fallen out of view by now? Did something just smack everything simultaneously with a paddle, then give every heavenly body a different spin and arbitrarily assigned orbits? And why would all the different bodies maintain the same constant velocity? How would rockets or planes even work? How would we have air? It's all just a little silly. If flat earth requires empirical evidence, then the only world that could be believed in would be the bits that my person has personally seen. I would have to believe that you don't really exist, because I'd never met you, the place you live couldn't possibly be real, etc. etc. Just-- Mercury, or even Venus-- that's one you can actually see with your eyes-- how, without evoking gravity-- does it orbit the sun, but also the sun is just moving around above a disc-- but also everything is moving relative to a disc at a constant velocity-- it just doesn't make sense at all. I have never seen anything behave like that ever... Like... Last example... I can soak a basketball, bounce it to you with a spin on it, and you'd catch a wet basketball. If I threw a flat disc at you, and somehow made it fly perfectly oriented vertically in your direction-- the water would fall off almost completely. Think of a windshield in the rain. The rain doesn't just puddle up and stay there. It slips off the windshield. It just seems like a bigger task to try and figure out how to make the flat earth model fit with reality than it does to fit the current scientific model. The science works, it's observable, the maths aren't just this Charlie Day conspiracy theorists evidence board that only make sense to a special group of people-- they are things that any person can actually put to the test on their own and can be applied to all sorts of things in the physical world. All of the products of modern technology are the result of the same physics that we used to prove the earth is a spheroid.

Of course you probably include participation in relevant experiments as part of your teaching. Regarding the Earth's shape, a good one is the worldwide Eratosthenes project, in which schools participate each year on the equinoxes.

I am an aerospace engineer and private pilot supporting the fact the earth is flat and stationary. Education is indoctrination. Big bang, evolution, relativity, gravity theories are all lies designed to sell the fake spinning, moving globe to the masses. Hollywood is a great keyboard on which the government can play. It is also a mighty wand from which spells are broadcast. ‘Govern mental’ literally means ‘mind control.’ Universities kill diversity. Attitudes, behaviors, thoughts, mannerisms, memes are mass controlled through the broadcast. Simultaneous levels and layers of programming are being broadcast into the population telling them who to worship, inverting right and wrong, true and false, displacing reality to replace it with a virtual and alternate reality as far as the mind of the population can be manipulated, which is very far. People are extremely malleable. Children are even more impressionable. Einstein meant it when he said that imagination is more important than knowledge. He wanted for us to stay asleep in the imaginary, inverted world that they created for us; some call it the matrix, others call it the zeitgeist, this erroneous perception of our world and universe. Yet this perception is part of the collective consciousness that was put together through the broadcasting of spells. As long as whatever inhabits the mind of the population is imaginary and detached from reality then the controllers have nothing to fear as far their control system goes. From birth, the population is tuned in to the wavelengths the authors of the system (i.e. the authorities) broadcast from their Hollywood wands. As the RHCP once said, space may be the final frontier but it's made in Hollywood basement. Only by awareness of this manipulation can you resist the big inversion. They live, while we sleep. Food for thought. Bon apathy.

I believe all the FE/Globe stuff all started with genuine people seeking truth and rebutting flawed logic. But FE died a few years ago. Now all that is left are people making money on FE, people making money making fun of FE, and poor misguided souls who get caught up one way or the other in the money making machine. The biggest names on both sides spend a lot of time rebutting each other in an attempt to dive viewers to each others channels. They often guest star on each others channels to 'debate'. Its just a pointless exercise that will continue as long as there is money to be made. FE stars of today cannot admit they were wrong because its their job.

Unfortunately, it will do absolutely nothing to some Flat Earthers who aren't looking for reason. Anything against their philosophy is fake news regardless of how much sense it makes.

@@psychohist I'd say her thoughts on the topic were sufficiently expressed here though: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--fkCo_trbT8.html Also, I'd say you're overstating the importance of the topic. The thing in question pretty much mostly concerns people who are trying to prove a point by any means necessary (a.k.a. conspiracy theorists) and some people who are genuinely interested in the topic but don't understand the subject material enough to be able to decipher it. The latter are probably the majority of the people, but I'd say the vast majority of them has no strong feelings on the topic so I really would not expect many unsubscribes either way, but at the same time, she is a German scientist, working for a German private-public institute called Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies.

Flat earthers don’t sell the shirts, someone just saw a way to make easy money

Absolutely. One thing I've started understanding as I went through college is how almost everyone could help me my freshmen year, and now my teachers struggle to help with some of their own assignments. Another thing has been the realization that there are people a lot smarter than me, but due to our different fields, I know a lot more about my own field than they would ever care to know...but they still think they can do it better than me than I can. I have no doubts that they could if they put the same time I did, but they invested their time somewhere else, and there just isn't enough time in a single lifetime for anyone to be good at everything. It's okay to be good at one thing, just as long as you have others to trust to be good at their thing

Amen

Absolutely true. When it comes to simple things like the Earth being round, that's easy to verify. Launch a drone, send it way up. It becomes more difficult when there's a global pandemic and a small group of people tell you to put something in your blood that they won't tell you what it is. Distrust arises. =\

​@@johnqpublic7608 But see, that's exactly the conclusion that is easy to jump to that Sabine was cautioning against. And I would have been right there with you...until my friend 'came out' to me on the topic. I promise you, he IS a smart guy, and if you met him, I promise you would agree. He's worked on some pretty interesting contracts and projects too over the years. I'm not denying that SOME flat earthers are just in it because they're dim, or others because they think it supports their religious views...but those aren't this guy. I think it's an example that just because someone is smart, doesn't mean they aren't vulnerable to the biases and emotionally driven responses that can cloud everyone's thinking. Being smart doesn't mean you always reach the correct conclusions, and not everyone who reaches correct conclusions is smart.

@@brianmulholland2467 No, he's not a smart guy. He's broken inside, severely.

​@@brianmulholland2467 I'm in a similar boat as your friend in regards to Hollow Earth Theory, but for me it's more a thought experiment than a belief. I have similar feelings about other 'alternate explanation' theories. For example, I don't actually believe Noah's Ark or the Garden of Eden are anything more than religious fairy tales, but I still entertain thoughts about the 'Mars Eden' and 'Noah's Ark Spaceship' theories. Some other theories I like thinking about are the idea that dragons depicted in medieval art might have been some smaller dinosaurs that could have survived the meteor that killed them off only to be hunted to extinction by knights in the name of glory (there are historical records that talk about dragons as if they were real- sometimes going as far as to discuss their anatomy-and some depictions are no bigger than large dogs) and the idea that there might have been other inteligent species that evolved alongside humans only to be hunted down because they were different (because of how the 'uncanny valley' makes some people feel uneasy, and because I think it sounds like something humans would do). If you held a gun to my head and asked if I could provide concrete evidence for any of these things, I would say of course not- they're just fun to think about sometimes.

Fire dragons were recent inspirations by Medieval Jews, Christians, and Muslims view on hell creatures. Dragon of ancient folk tales in Africa, Eastern Asia, Australia, and the Americas all depict snakes that cause rain and live in rivers. You are insightful in recognizing Medieval knights needing heroic stories 😂

maybe they were globers acting flat

Have you seen the GoFast rocket launch? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-001IXnp0ogc.html. It goes 73 miles up and suddenly and at the same time you here a THUD it goes from spinning fast to slow. As it spins, slow it down and you will see the moon which looks TINY from that distance. Ask yourself, why/how could the moon look so tiny from 73 miles up. You can see in the video the launch is around mid day. They published the date of the launch. So the look up where the moon was at that day and apx. time..... OVER INDONESIA! Sorry, that is CHECKMATE! NOT ONLY is it impossible to see the moon over Indonesia from 73 miles over NV on a ball earth on that documented day/time but it ALSO explains why the moon is SO SMALL and far away! --- AND there is NO OTHER EXPLANATION for the moon looking so small (and far away!) If the earth is an 8k dia. ball, Indonesia is directly on the opposite side of the ball from NV..... sorry chump.

Did they then change their minds ? Or did they just come up with some post hoc reason why their experiment didn't _really_ provide evidence for a globe Earth ? Because that's the difference between _actual_ rational skepticism and merely propagating pseudo-scientific conspiracy theories - the former follows the evidence.

Lol 🤣 groups here in the US have done the same. Check out the documentary Behind the Curve, they disprove their theory several times then refute the results. Cheers!

The flat earth logic there is simply the size of the sun and how far its light reaches. In heliocentrism, the sun is 93,000,000 miles away and something like 2.7 million miles in diameter. That massive size would easily light up an entire face of the globe earth, until we rotate and face the opposite direction. Now on the geocentric model, the sun is much smaller (33 miles in diameter if I'm not mistaken) and local, very close to us. Therefore, it's not nearly as big and its light can only reach so far in all directions. With that said, moving to your original thought... flat Earth logic says instead of the sun setting behind the curve as we spin, the sun is simply moving away, converging into the horizon until it shrinks out of view. It's hard to explain, but picture this. Ships disappear from the bottom up, as if they are going over a physical curve. Yet with a camera that has a strong enough zoom, you can zoom the entire ship top to bottom back into full view. If you are at a beach looking out into a vast open sea, and you look straight forward, the sky will be directly in front of you. However, the sky is not directly in front of you, but directly above you. Yet it would appear to be in front of you in the far distance because everything converges into the vanishing point of the horizon. By flat earth logic, this is what the sun is doing - disappearing into the vanishing point of the horizon and taking its local light along with it.

@@alexc-man7711 So many factually incorrect claims in your post: 1) The heliocentric and geocentric model are cosmological model not model of the Solar System 2) The geocentric model in fact doesn't claim the Sun is small and local at all but that the Sun orbit Earth , which is false 3) you: "Therefore, it's not nearly as big and its light can only reach so far in all directions." False, the size of a body is not the limiting factor for how far the light can travel. 4) you: "Ships disappear from the bottom up, as if they are going over a physical curve. Yet with a camera that has a strong enough zoom, you can zoom the entire ship top to bottom back into full view." Blatantly false, no telescope can zoom in on any boat 100 km away from the observer. 5) you: "However, the sky is not directly in front of you, but directly above you. " The Horizon is where sky and Earth meet, the sky is also in front an observer 6) you: "because everything converges into the vanishing point of the horizon." False, the vanishing point is not a scientific concept, it only refers to a type of projection of an image over an arbitrary plane. The vanishing point doesn't physically represent anything real. 7) you: "the sun is doing - disappearing into the vanishing point of the horizon " They basically claim the Sun get small are small as it moves away until it disappear which is ridiculous since very basic observations show the size of the Sun is constant. Ops. As Sabine explained "ad hoc" explanations are unscientific , what flat earthers are doing is to have ad hoc explanations for any observable phenomenon but not a single explanation that work for all phenomena. Astronomy explained all phenomena with its Solar System Model. The flat earth model need all sort of special explanations to try to be consistent with reality but failed. P.S. "everything converges into the vanishing point " *So parallel lines converge in a point?!?...ouch!*

"The only evidence you can believe is what you yourself see": well, they do not see the sun coming up very tiny at the dawn, increasing in size until noon and then shrunking back to a point at sunset, like it should necessarily be the case if Earth was a flat disk and a smaller sun orbited over it like they claim! If their senses are showing them that, then I suggest that they stop eating allucinogenic mushrooms with a expired date or that they go and search for more pure weed or lsd, for their dope then seems to be toxic garbage... lol

If you go too far with it i think is just solipsistic. And dangerously close to psychosis..although psychosis is due to biological or trauma-related illness not just stupidity. And yes, this video did not convince me any more that its not stupidity. Its a better debunk as its a full understanding. Like, i get trusting only your own senses but they think seeing the moon in the day as if that has been a hidden fact is evidence. If they do not understand the round earth model, or gravity they cannot 'debunk' it. So for that inconsistency i would say sabine is being unusually kind for some weird reason.

@@kfm908 you can't prove a preconceived conclusion, by attempting to prove something else isn't the case. Instead, you should first accept you don't know, and then try to discover the truth...until then, you don't know. E.g. Let's say I have the preconceived notion that if a bag of bananas doesn't have 5 bananas, the only other possible logical conclusion is that that small bag has 900 trillion bananas. No other possibilities could possibly exist. Only my preconceived conclusion of 900 trillion bananas is the default alternative. So all I have to do to prove my theory, is prove there aren't 5 bananas in the bag, and then I've automatically proved there are 900 trillion bananes in the bag. This is obviously not logical, all I've done is discover I don't know how many banana's are in the bag, apart from the fact that it's definitely not 5.

@Vinnie P Imagine you have trust issues so big that you literally don't believe anything and anybody except what you see with your own eyes. Imagine how that can affect your beliefs. The problem with flat earthers (and in common with other conspiracy theorists) is not that they believe in a flat Earth, the real problem is that they honestly believe that billions of people are trying to fool them.

@Vinnie P And the giant-wall-of-ice theory is "stupid" because why? Is the giant-wall-of-ice theory really an inherent part of every flat-earth theory? I am aware of two such theories (thus they are contradictory, of course). I don't see why an ice wall would be necessary "so we can't fall off"

I'm fine for flat-earthers or any human beings being stupid because they can learn someday. But being delusional or constantly paranoid, you need medical attention.

@NexusGen Inc. I agree, but i think that condition is closer to narcissism than to megalomania. Narcissists only know two subjects: themselves and the world. They have a tough time imagining how other people interact without him. For them, two people conspiring and two million people conspiring is all the same. Of course, it's much possible to be a narcissist AND a megalomaniacal.

@@heybro345 you: "Plato's cave analogy" The Plato's analogy only apply partially to the anti-science flat-earthism cult. In Plato's analogy the people in the cave can't see the real world, they have no access to any information outside the cave, they have no way to compare different "science". This is false for modern open societies. Furthermore most the flat-earth propaganda is top-down where dishonest people are spreading willfully false information through social media and other sources. The people in the cave are honestly convinced of their own "truth" because they can see directly the evidence. They don't know the evidence is limited by their physical situation.

also: I have actually seen evidence that the Earth is round. For example: I was in Alaska during the summer solstice, but I live further south. So, in Alaska, it was odd having daylight the majority of the day. At the same time, my mom was back home and my dad was further north in Alaska. He had a longer day (more hours of daylight) than I did and we both had a longer day than my mom back home. We ended up talking about the amount of daylight that same day, not with the intention of proving the Earth was round... just showing how fascinating it was. My parents lived in Alaska before, so they wanted me to experice it. I was there fishing, my dad was further north doing a construction job and my mom was at home working as usual. It wasn't until I looked back later and realized "oh yeah! I guess I have done an experiment proving the Earth was round." 😅 I've also been on the ocean and have seen boats cross over the horizon. .....and I've seen the sunset from a plane, which makes it clear that the night is really a shadow. you can see it fall on the ground from that high. it's pretty cool! I could go on. point is: there are many ways you can prove that the Earth is round on your own. here: take a circle piece of paper and tape it to the wall. Thats the moon. now, get a flashlight for the 'sun'. Place two shapes, a round object and a piece of cardboard cut into a circle (making a disk), between your sun and moon. The round shape is a round Earth the disk is a flat Earth. Now, move the sun so that you get a shadow of each model of Earth to appear on the moon (you might have to adjust the distance between the object or use smaller objects). This is replicating what happens during a lunar eclipse. 👌 Observe the shape of the shadow each model makes on your moon. Now, compare that with what is seen during a lunar eclipse. 👍 What shape give us the same result as a lunar eclipse?

The other side of the coin for language is the effect that once ideas are written and labeled "God words" there will be people taking those written words as actually spoken by a God. And doesn't help the fact Gods never recorded any word since the invention of recorded sound...

Uh, yep.

This absolutely true. What people do best is learn from each other.

Fun Fact: One of the earliest written records we have is instructions on how to domesticate horses. If language were never invented, horse domestication would have likely never been able to be learned and reproduced, eventually dying out with whatever generation didn't learn it or pass it on.

@@ethanpschwartz Well no the generation would pass sit on to the next as practice or orally, as they did before writing was invented. Then another generation would probably discover it again. It would depend on how useful it was. Practices that don't get used are forgotten, and much of the knowledge that goes with them.

Indeed. When I was ten, my father built an equatorial sundial with my brother and me, and explained how it worked. That alone was enough to prevent me from ever becoming a flat Earther.

I presume you also wear a mask and think Covid 19 Sars 2 Cov is a real threat....

@@salesmcsaleson9285 How many sundials have you built? An equatorial sundial shows that the Sun apparently moves across the sky at 15 degrees an hour, no matter the time of day or year, no matter where you are on Earth. That shows that the Sun must be very distant, not the nearby Sun demanded by flat Earthers, which would move faster when overhead than when near the horizon, thus rendering the sundial useless. And how far back should buildings be leaning at a given distance, if the Earth is a globe? it's easy to do in your head: the circumference of the Earth is about 25,000 miles. Divide that by 360 degrees and you get about 70 miles per degree around the globe. Thus, a building 70 miles away- which would only be visible with a telescope under exceptional conditions- will be leaning away from you about a degree, which you would not be able to see or even detect with instruments, unless you had a laser interferometer or something. Any questions? Cheers from overcast Vienna, Scott

@@salesmcsaleson9285 well no actually, because I live in South Australia and we have no lockdowns or mask mandates. We’re clean and socially responsible round these parts. As far as your ‘evidence’ for a flat earth, you make the classic mistake of thinking the earth is way smaller than what it actually is. It is ludicrous to think you could see a building leaning noticeably from the curvature of the earth. The earth is so massive, it is effectively flat. Just because you can’t grasp this concept, doesn’t make it false. There is such a preponderance of evidence for the globe earth, and has been for millennia, that in order to deny that evidence you have to be wilfully ignorant, not just stupid. Best of luck...

Very well said!

Really good example is the way things are explained in popular science today. We hear comments such as "believe in the science" as though it's like a modern day version of theology. There is barely any genuine effort put to actually get the point across to regular folk.

Science and scientists are as corrupted as politics and law etc

This is exactly the problem that came to my mind. Flat Earth advocates had no audience until science in the public sphere clearly became corrupted by political interests. If scientists are frustrated by the lack of trust present in groups like Flat Earthers they have only themselves to blame. I say this as a person certain Flat Earth ideas are ridiculous: stop allowing scientific interests to be even remotely influenced by political interests and trust from the general public will once again be restored.

@@mawnkey "science in the public sphere clearly became corrupted by political interests." Curious what you mean by this? Care to elaborate?

Depends on the country.

My thought exactly! This mindset seems to be a pleague spreading around the world. and not just with flat earthers.

I feel flat earthers fall into two camps. 1)those with prominent online followings/RU-vid channels who occupy a niche, cynically peddling content to an audience ready to passionately consume it. 2)their audience, made up of individuals who for one reason or another feels society has rejected them or lied to them; and so now, they completely reject society and view everything that is mainstream common belief/knowledge as just another lie they are now too wise to fall for. It gives them a feeling of superiority and power. They aren’t “conspiracy theorists”, as they rarely if ever articulate a “theory” of their own to go with the conspiracy. They like it vague, they don’t want answers, they only want to make all of reality, history, etc as confused and uncertain as they are. They aren’t “conspiracy theorists”; they are, for lack of a better term, “conspiracists”. And by that I mean “conspiracy and nihilism taken on as a worldview and religion”. They will latch on to anything and nothing at all as long as it means rejecting mainstream beliefs. The earth is flat, the pyramids were power plants, the sphinx is 50,000 years old, Atlantis was an advanced global civilization, mudfloods, the moon landing was faked, on and on..

This so much. The media is... awful. They often report things like "Fuel cells/solar cells/super batteries/super capacitors are coming next year with this new technology." And while that new technology MAY exist, it's likely impossible to commercialize or would be so expensive as to not be economically viable. People have to accept that the world runs on money, and if something is too expensive to produce, the general public won't fund it/buy it. Of course science has technologies that could and would produce cleaner energy. But these technologies were produced using the most expensive materials and most expensive techniques. Often precious metals make up significant parts of batteries/other energy producing technologies that scientists study. I can't produce a battery that's 25% gold by weight and expect the public to pay a premium to use it when they can go to their local wal-mart and buy a normal battery, with likely half the capacity, for 1/1000ths of the cost. Science is burdened with the job of producing something CHEAPER than we currently have. And since things typically get cheaper the more they're used, fossil fuels are SO... UNGODLY CHEAP right now. (I'm using energy as an example, but the same idea applies everywhere.) Basically, the media is constantly undermining science even when they're trying to be useful. Furthermore, the media OFTEN misrepresents scientific publications because the media articles are written by idiots who have no idea what they're talking about, so they'll cherry pick a sentence and then say "this is what this entire paper is about." When in reality the scientific author was using that sentence as an example of something completely different. I've seen it happen more times than I can count.

Yeah, take something like global warming. If you only learn about global warming from the media and build what they say in to a scientific hypothesis then it's incredibly easy to pick apart and disprove as a hoax even if you lack a university education. Meanwhile if you take the actual science instead of the medias portray of it it's so far impossible to disprove. The fundamental problem is that you need at least 5 years of university studies (or more) to accurately understand all the science behind it to the point where you're capable of "making up your own mind" fairly. You need to learn everything from fluid dynamics and complex system analysis to quantum mechanics to be able to really understand every different part of it and how all of it interacts. But climate change as portrayed by the media? Well disproving that would make for a nice elementary school research project.

Here's a report that will not be "later contradicted." Water finds level. Level is a *_plane._* Earth is established on the *_same_* plane as water, a fluid, settled into a calm flat surface in a basin; i.e. a swimming pool for example. Basin size does *NOT* change water's nature to rest calm with it's surface a perfect plane once settled into a basin of *_any_* given size.

@@earth.is.a.plane. No. Just... no. Water does not find a "level". Water finds its place equidistant from the center of the mass that the water is attracted to (aka elevation). The ocean is not level. It is simply equidistant from the center of the earth. You're confusing "level" with "elevation." Over a sufficiently short distance, this will appear to be on the same plane. It is, however, not. I just don't... get it. Flat earthers can see and agree that the other planets/moons in our solar system are spherical. Including moons that have oceans of liquid on them, yet they dispute that oceans can exist on a sphere, yet they can... see... them. Oh of course that's assuming they don't think that space is all a conspiracy theory perpetuated by all of the governments of the world for... some... unknown.... purpose.
