The Final Strawman Experiment

0:01

the final experiment has finally

0:03

happened after half a year of hype will

0:05

Duffy’s band of globe Defenders have

0:08

performed what they deem a death blow to

0:10

Flat Earth so how did they do it did

0:13

they find and measure the globe’s

0:15

mythical curvature did they film a

0:17

convex Horizon without using a fisheye

0:20

lens did they circumnavigate in a

0:22

perfectly straight line and return to

0:24

their starting point or did they

0:26

construct a demonstrable model of water

0:29

sticking to a spinning ball no they

0:33

didn’t even attempt any of these things

0:35

that flat earthers have actually called

0:37

for and admitted would provide evidence

0:39

for the globe instead they made up their

0:42

own strawman experiment and labeled it

0:44

final with the hope that their results

0:47

would be the last words on the flat

0:49

versus Globe debate unfortunately for

0:51

Will and to the surprise of no flat

0:54

earthers the results of his experiment

0:56

haven’t changed people’s minds and

0:58

aren’t the final words of on anything as

1:01

I said would happen back when this idea

1:03

was introduced in typical Globe

1:06

apologist fashion the final experiment

1:09

has conflated a Celestial observation

1:11

with our terrestrial Foundation they are

1:14

attempting to claim that the motion of a

1:16

light in the sky overhead somehow gives

1:19

proof of the shape of the ground

1:22

underfoot flat earthers warned them for

1:24

months that this is simply a strawman

1:26

argument that isn’t going to convince

1:28

any critical thinkers

1:30

but still they went ahead anyway now

1:33

they have allegedly traveled to

1:34

Antarctica during the southern summer to

1:37

film The Midnight Sun and succeeded in

1:39

convincing no one in the Flat Earth

1:41

Community to go back to the globe as

1:44

will was warned it’s analogous to

1:46

inviting a contractor to measure the

1:48

dimensions of your floor space but

1:50

instead of taking measurements of the

1:52

floor he climbs a ladder and starts

1:54

measuring the recessed lights in the

1:56

ceiling then after doing some

1:58

calculations and extra ation based on

2:01

his ceiling lighting measurements he

2:03

tells you definitively that your floor

2:05

is a spinning ball the only reason flat

2:08

earthers have claimed there likely isn’t

2:10

a midnight sun in Antarctica is because

2:12

there are countless clearly genuine

2:14

videos of the phenomenon in the Arctic

2:16

and only a couple dubious doctored ones

2:19

claiming to show a 24-hour sun in the

2:21

South if this is such a common and

2:24

easily filmed phenomenon why has it

2:26

taken this final experiment to finally

2:29

get footage of it

2:30

the jury is still out as more videos

2:33

from the final experiment trickle in but

2:35

already there are anomalies and issues

2:38

surfacing for example notice the extreme

2:41

change in Shadow length that takes place

2:44

as mkun from the final experiment Paces

2:46

around the base camp in the space of

2:49

walking no more than 10 to 20 M while

2:52

the sun is still quite High overhead his

2:55

shadow somehow triples in length this is

2:58

more what would be expected Ed from a

3:00

large overhead Studio light than a

3:03

heliocentric Sun 93 million mil away

3:07

personally I am quite skeptical of both

3:09

the footage and the people involved in

3:12

this final experiment but time will tell

3:14

as it always does now let’s assume all

3:18

the videos of the Antarctic Sun filmed

3:20

by the final experiment crew are all

3:22

100% genuine and filmed in the exact

3:25

location and time claimed this still

3:28

makes no difference to Flat Earth

3:31

whether or not they filmed an Antarctic

3:33

Midnight Sun Still Water remains level

3:36

The Horizon remains flat and there

3:39

remains no measurable curvature the

3:42

Earth is still a level plane regardless

3:45

of any solar

3:46

observations the motion of a light in

3:48

the sky overhead cannot possibly prove

3:51

the shape of the ground underfoot the

3:54

Flat Earth Community has long had models

3:57

that explain a 24-hour sun in Antarctic

4:00

including lady blunt and Albert Smith’s

4:02

model in their 19th century book zetic

4:06

astronomy more recently Joseph heni has

4:09

also done excellent work constructing a

4:11

demonstration using lights projected off

4:14

a dome firmament showing exactly how an

4:16

Antarctic 24-hour Sun works on Flat

4:19

Earth using a two-way mirror to

4:22

demonstrate a super fluid ceiling inside

4:24

a dome over a flat Earth Map a

4:26

flashlight is shined down to represent

4:28

the Sun moving moving over and around

4:30

the earth as the sun circles its way

4:33

from the Tropic of Cancer to the equator

4:36

and outwards Beyond there is only one

4:38

Spotlight appearing in the sky but as

4:40

the flashlight widens its circuit

4:42

outwards towards the Tropic of Capricorn

4:45

suddenly a second apparent projected Sun

4:48

appears and begins circling the opposite

4:51

direction over and around

4:53

Antarctica not only this but since the

4:56

projection is only apparent it is based

4:59

on the position of the Observer so as

5:01

the camera moves 360° around the outer

5:04

circumference of the model the 24-hour

5:07

Sun still circles overhead regardless of

5:10

where in Antarctica The Observer is

5:12

located due to the vastness of our realm

5:15

and the nature of the projection very

5:18

rarely would anyone anywhere on Earth be

5:20

able to see both the actual and apparent

5:23

Sun but it has been captured on film

5:25

several times these videos which are

5:28

easily explained able in the doed Flat

5:31

Earth model have no explanation in the

5:33

heliocentric Globe model there is no

5:36

reason why their giant Sun 93 million

5:39

miles away in outer space would ever

5:41

show a projected apparent second sun but

5:44

we even have video showing both Suns

5:47

reflecting their lights into the water

5:49

below since we cannot see the entire

5:52

expanse of the planetarium sky above us

5:55

our eyes create an apparent Sky Dome as

5:57

shown here each person has their own

6:00

unique Skydome perspective based on

6:03

where and when they are observing from

6:06

we know this to be true from the fact

6:08

that three people in three different

6:09

locations will observe the same Sun

6:11

appearing differently one will see the

6:14

sun rising another will see the sun

6:16

setting and another between them will

6:18

see the Sun at its apex overhead proving

6:21

that everyone sees their own personal

6:23

perspective of the sun’s current

6:25

location and not its actual location

6:28

this is also why all all the stars in

6:30

the celestial sphere move the same

6:32

direction around us east to west but

6:34

depending on where the Observer is

6:36

located and what direction they’re

6:38

facing a second Circle of Stars will

6:41

appear moving around the other way we

6:44

can see Polaris Ursa major and minor and

6:47

other Northern constellations from every

6:49

Point north of the equator

6:51

simultaneously but conversely cannot see

6:54

the so-called South Pole star Sigma

6:56

octantis the Southern Cross or other

6:59

constellations simultaneously from every

7:02

point south of the Equator because they

7:04

all sweep over a Great Southern Ark from

7:07

their rise in the evening to their

7:09

setting in the morning all of this just

7:12

goes to show that regardless of what the

7:14

sun moon and stars look like or what

7:16

they’re doing over our heads has no

7:19

bearing on what the earth looks like or

7:21

what it’s doing under our feet the final

7:24

experiment straw man whether the footage

7:27

is faked or Genuine is simply an appeal

7:30

to the sky fallacy where these desperate

7:32

Globe apologists insist that a solar

7:35

observation somehow proves the shape of

7:38

our terrestrial

7:39

Foundation the fact of the matter is

7:42

even will Duffy himself when asked Point

7:45

Blank about this issue admits his

7:48

supposed final experiment hasn’t

7:50

actually disproved Flat Earth at all and

7:54

like I I I would put it to you like this

7:58

if if there’s a dome if we’re in an

8:02

enclosed

8:03

system does that mean does that not mean

8:06

that there are a whole lot of variables

8:08

that we don’t know about that could

8:10

affect the lights and the

8:13

ceiling yeah I can grant that
