A milestone for me: I got a response video from "Exploring the Plane".

Now, I was obviously excited for: well, a challenge. I am a nerd gamer; but what did vex me was that his response video was for my video that: well, in my opinion, my best work when it comes to absolute logic and math; pretty solid, I thought.

It is based on this old photo; where you see the Blackpool tower; then Irish sea past that, and mountains from the distant Isle of Man.

Exploring the Plane is responding to four such videos.

Well, lets see what the video has to say.



Spoiler: he didn't refute my math; but refuted refraction. Oh well.


Note: sorry if you felt it was click-bait thumbnail. I did leave a hint though.

My videos:

Flat Earth because Isle of Man... huh? Did I miss a meeting?
