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

hi , im a 10 year old and i have watched every single of your videos they are lovely as my interest in heavenly and interstellar bodies i love to hear you talking about so much of information thx a lot for sharing all this knowledge ;w;

Someone once said that: “If the earth was flat then cats would have pushed everything off by now”

Question everything...but be prepared to accept the answers.

I appreciate how you treat people with respect and do not just dismiss people as being stupid. You are a great educator and truly care about helping people understand science.

My own experience tells me, by watching ships sail over the horizon, by driving towards the mountains and watching how they also look small then taller and taller as we go over the curvature of the earth and get closer to them. And looking at the other planets and a simple understanding of gravity tells me that we are on a globe.

15:30 "To me, therefore, flat earthers, are a warning sign that scientists should take seriously. The more difficult scientific experiments and arguments are to follow for non-experts, the more care we must take to explain how we lead those arguments." That's an incredibly well put conclusion.

“no one cared…… he died.” omg sabine is peak german humor.

Well put ma'am!! You are absolutely brilliant! Thank you for your time in putting this video together! Thank you for having the ability to articulate, communicating, in a brilliant, fair, reasonable, explanation of the flat earthers, and how they are most likely thinking.

Many of us are fascinated with flat earthers. Flat earth is dumb as rocks, but flat earthers are fascinating.

Rather then being entirely dismissive, you make an effort to understand people’s thinking, even if they’re wrong. You’re respect toward others is admirable, you educate rather then insult - insults only hardens people’s hearts and minds.

Such a great video ❤ I love the meticulous approach while keeping things simple 👍

Love this human being. The most caring and respectful debunking possible. Dánke.

When I was 5 years old, my father looked enormous, When I was 18, he was 2 inches shorter than me. Therefore he gradually shrank over 13 years. Of course, it also meant that the shelf I could never reach gradually moved down the wall until I could reach it, my clothes grew smaller as time went on... and, well round about my mid-teens, my senses adjusted so that I seemed to get bulkier and stronger as I played rugby and cricket and ran cross-country, but obviously this was a myth. All the people around me just got frailer and weaker, the furniture shrank, as did streetlights, buildings and animals. It's the only thing that makes sense, since I am the centre of the universe, and the essential founder of reality.

This is the most polite and conscientious response to the flat earthers I have ever seen. Bravo. You are truly an excellent science communicator and go to great lengths to respect your audience and potential audience.

What a fantastic way to look at it, and these ideas. Much respect. We could all use a bit of this toward those who don't think the same as we do.

You are right, but knowing the earth is round is as easy as looking up at the moon and wondering how there is a shadow cast on it. So, i would rather point this out to the failures of the educational system.

Beautifully clear and well communicated viewpoint - a far better rebuttal of flat earthers than the 'Hey everyone, let's laugh at these idiots' stance that many out there take. Thank you for taking the time and effort!

Well, I'm 71 and I have only watched a few of your videos so far, but I love the fact that you've shown me that I am still capable of learning - and enjoying it. Thanks again, Sabine.

So well presented-like all of your videos. Appreciate your effort to make science understandable for most of us.
