This clip of a flat earther accidentally proving the Earth is round never gets old
@historyinmemes Carl Sagan explains how Greek polymath Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of earth around 2000 years ago.
this documentary was hilarious. they bougt a 30k laser gyroscope thing and said if the earth was really spinning it would detect drift at 15 degrees an hour and it did so they said thats because of fake radio waves so put it in a faraday cage and after an hour again 15 degrees. they then put it in a lead box and the same thing and then they paid a mental amount to get some specialist clean box. after an hour in the box can you tell what it detected? yup 15 degrees
@historyinmemes this doesn’t prove anything. 2 guys messing up their own amateur experiment doesn’t prove a globe. in fact no actual scientist has ever been able to empirically prove the globe.
@historyinmemes The Earth isn't round or flat, neither is it like a donut..
@historyinmemes On the one hand, I do appreciate their willingness to run experiments. On the other hand, I am continually frustrated by their refusal to consider the implications of the results of those experiments.
@historyinmemes A flat earth could hypothetically still have varying depth that would account for this 😂 not advocating for flat earth though
@historyinmemes I thought it has been concluded that the earth is round?
