Flatters Flattened. Flatters known as 'Globebusters' have everything they say destroyed in an entertaining way. This is mainly about correcting false flatter beliefs, and laughing at their claims.

Response to Globebusters - The Earth Still Isn't Flat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDy95_eNPzM&list=PLybg94GvOJ9GEuq4mp9ruJpj-rjKQ_a6E

In this 'debunking' playlist are 8 more great videos that explain exactly how flatter beliefs about science and the shape of our planet are wrong. Bring up these points to your favorite flatter, or cause them to recoil and shrink back by simply mentioning professor dave explains and his debunkings. They know and fear him.

I have to thank my current flat earth interlocutor for prompting me to watch this again. Actual flatter quote follows:

The heliocentric model claims that seasons are caused by the position on the earth tilted on its axis relative to the sun. Because the earth is a sphere, 50% would always be illuminated. They claim the earth makes a complete rotation every 24 hours. This means that daylight has to last 12 hours all year. This is not observed in reality, proving the earth is not a sphere rotating around the sun. Thus the seasons cannot be due to the spherical earths relative position.

Spot any deviatiations from reality?

Also, that 8" per mile squared formula [jewtube link] the flatters offer to determine whether you should be able to see a surface object at a distance is for a parabola, not a sphere...

Actual formula: h = r-r cos(s/2r)

h = height r = radius of earth s = arc length
