Gravity is an indisputable force that explains why objects fall to the ground
The '8 inches per mile squared' calculation used by flat earthers is incorrect and not based on scientific principles
Water can curve, as evidenced by the shape of water droplets and waves
The earth's atmosphere exists due to gravity, not because of a vacuum
The idea that water can flow uphill is a misunderstanding of elevation and gravity
Why do flat earthers believe that water doesn't curve?
—Flat earthers misunderstand the properties of water and its ability to curve, such as the formation of spherical water droplets and waves.
How do flat earthers explain the existence of gravity?
—Flat earthers often use incorrect calculations and argue that density and buoyancy are responsible for the downward force of gravity, without understanding the scientific principles behind it.
Can you explain why the '8 inches per mile squared' calculation is incorrect?
—The '8 inches per mile squared' calculation is a parabolic approximation that does not accurately describe the curvature of the Earth. It is based on a misunderstanding of mathematical principles and is not supported by scientific evidence.
Why is the idea that water can flow uphill incorrect?
—The belief that water can flow uphill is a misunderstanding of elevation and gravity. Rivers flow from higher elevation to lower elevation, which is determined by their distance from the surface of the Earth.
How does the Earth's atmosphere coexist with the vacuum of space?
—The Earth's atmosphere exists due to the force of gravity, which creates a gradient from higher to lower elevation. The vacuum of space is a region with very little matter, while the Earth's atmosphere contains air and other gases.
01:08One of the main arguments made by flat earthers is that gravity does not make sense on a flat earth.
04:33Flat earthers often use the '8 inches per mile squared' calculation to argue against the curvature of the earth, but this calculation is incorrect and not based on scientific principles.
06:14Flat earthers claim that water does not curve, but this is not true. Water can curve, as evidenced by the formation of spherical water droplets and waves.
08:26Flat earthers struggle to understand how the earth's atmosphere can coexist with the vacuum of space, due to a lack of understanding of what a vacuum actually is.
12:51Flat earthers often make claims about water flowing uphill or rivers flowing uphill on the earth, but this is a misunderstanding of elevation and gravity.
