See the Pattern of Woo! pt1 FeCoNi 2020-05-27 | "See the pattern" wants to tell us about the fundamental problems of our understanding of the atom and a disagreement between chemistry and physics when it comes to their behaviour. Of course, the latter part of the sentence shows that the creator doesn't really have a clue about the former part. Come join me as we watch an electric universe/plasma cosmology aficionado repeatedly claim that the current scientific theory cannot explain certain phenomena while ignoring the rather simple explanations for the phenomena offered by the theory. This is video 1 of 3 (potentially 4), and this will lead us down an "interesting" road.

What the Ferrocell Shows FeCoNi 2021-04-30 | There are many magnetism woo channels on YouTube and many of these use the Ferrocell (TM). Unfortunately, most of these channels clearly don't understand what the ferrocell actually shows including the original creator of the ferrocell (depending on where you look). In this video, we cover some basics in magnetism and find that the ferrocell does not actually show what people think it does.

Found Poem - Ken Wheeler FeCoNi 2020-12-19 | Inspired by Dave Gorman's Modern Life is Goodish, I thought that I would try to do some "found poems" based on conspiracy nuttiness. I was a bit ambitious in thinking that I would do a whole series in a short period of time.I recorded one based on my comment section and Ken Wheeler's comment section. I hope to do some more in the future. Music was written by myself.

Relative Density Disequilibrium: Can it work? FeCoNi 2020-08-04 | Flat Earthers have been talking about the notion that density is the thing that causes things to fall or float and gravity is not a thing. Of course, this is due to their need to dismiss gravity. For a long time, we have been trying to figure out a formulation that works, and I made an attempt myself (youtu.be/hAKdyQDqP2U). However, Anthony Riley recently hosted a livestream where he gave a glimpse of his formulation of the "Relative Density Disequilibrium" and let's explore where that goes. Turns out that there is a way that we can make it work and conform to experimental results (youtu.be/-SH8MeDtyeg). But even though we can make Sleeping Warrior's formulation work, he is not going to like it.

Gangnam Style and Flat earth? FeCoNi 2020-03-03 | Well... I suppose that I will win a prize for "clickbait title of the year", but it is not clickbait.

Couple of things that I would recommend:The misinformation virus on BBC sounds which explores misinformation and treats some of the issues around the recommendation algorithm in a nice succinct way. The focus isn't really so much flat earth, but the principles apply. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000c9smThere is also a great episode on Behind The Bastards regarding Savitri Devi who has been instrumental in the development of the Neo-Nazi approach and metapolitics. As a warning if you are not familiar with the show: the host (Robert Evans) can be a bit crass/glib about some pretty horrendous stuff and he may not be your cup of tea. there are a lot of "in jokes" you need the back catalogue to really get. But he is a damn good journalist.

Crazy Cat Lady Takes On Climate Change, and FAILS Part 2 FeCoNi 2020-01-23 | Is climate change a hoax? Today's video covers that topic and is part 2 of a 3 part series about The Truth Factory's 2 videos titled "CO2 is Greening the Earth" and "The Climate Agenda" with fellow content creators Team Skeptic and Planarwalk. The simple fact of the matter is that Climate Change is real and its anthropogenic, or man made. And while many people still hold the belief that climate change is a conspiracy, the irrefutable truth is that the empirical evidence suggesting that climate change is a result of anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere is overwhelming.PART 1 (Team Skeptic) - youtube.com/watch?v=SrBCOe-O8XMPART 3 (Planarwalk) - youtu.be/vB2-5M8nVdYTeam Skeptic URLyoutube.com/channel/UCawl3BI9azbMB5DQqJNpRrgPlanarwalk URL youtube.com/user/planarwalk2Source videos :CO2 is Greening the Earth : youtube.com/watch?v=_rNPA1UiUCkThe Climate Agenda :youtube.com/watch?v=tm_0-xSv-v4Of course, a quick thanks to my newest patron Luka Schmitt.Thank you all for watching!You can find me on twitter at: twitter.com/science_abI’m now on Patreon as well: patreon.com/ABscience

Silly Claims 03 - Pressure Gradients FeCoNi 2019-12-14 | Pressure gradients in the atmosphere debunk the flerf dome right? Well no, not entirely - the pressure gradient merely demonstrates that it isn't necessary. Why?We explore what the word 'exponential' actually means and find out why.Thank you all for watching!You can find me on twitter at: twitter.com/science_abI’m now on Patreon as well: patreon.com/ABscience
Silly Claims - 02 - moon tidal lock FeCoNi 2019-12-06 | The moon is fake because we always see the same side or something... The moon can't be what scientists say it is because the chance that the orbital period and the rotational period are the same is too small...Nope, turns out that this is actually inevitable.Thank you all for watching!You can find me on twitter at: twitter.com/science_abI’m now on Patreon as well: patreon.com/ABscience
Nerdline News - November 2019 FeCoNi 2019-12-04 | Slightly late edition of Nerdline News due to illness.

Silly Claims - 01 - moon sun size FeCoNi 2019-11-29 | This is the first in a series of short videos that I will be putting out. I have come across mentions about the coincidence that the sun and the moon have similar angular sizes.... and therefore... flat?In this series we look at some smaller claims which I feel do not warrant the full treatment but I wanted to cover anyway.This video also features some original music I wrote a while ago and a video from Celestron advertising the awesomeness of their products.

Peer Review - MrThriveandSurvive FeCoNi 2019-11-22 | Mr Thriveandsurvive did a thing with moonlight and claims that he has shown that the moon emits a cold light which cools things down. We consider the results and whether his claim is correct. We also (try) to figure out what it would mean if his claim is correct.Thanks for watching.Thank you all for watching!You can find me on twitter at: twitter.com/science_abI’m now on Patreon as well: patreon.com/ABscience
Mirror: The Mathematic Zone FeCoNi 2019-11-08 | I'm currently extremely busy with lots of exciting family stuff and a huge workload involving very complex experiments and teaching.However, my good friend Johnny Ragadoo has got plenty of time on his hands to piss about in Sleeping Warrior's chat to get him to say stupid things. And then test these stupid things! So I present to you, his latest creation. Johnny Ragadoo is a new creator and a wordsmith with some excellent content that will make you giggle.youtube.com/channel/UC3PBY7rAsODbj6O3X_518vA

Homeopathy has been useful, by being useless FeCoNi 2019-10-29 | Homeopathy is about as useful as a marzi.... no, sorry, I did that joke already. From a historical perspective, homeopathy hasn't always been useless - we explore how this is the case.Thank you all for watching!You can find me on twitter at: twitter.com/science_abI’m now on Patreon as well: patreon.com/ABscience
The Eggsperiment FeCoNi 2019-10-17 | Today we will have a look at the whole density and buoyancy again.

It would be great to see a series of objects with equal masses but varying volumes being test
Scientific Approach - Proof, Confidence, and Being Wrong FeCoNi 2019-10-12 | We cannot prove that the earth is an oblate spheroid, this is because we can not 'prove' anything in science; we can only disprove things. When we say that we have shown something to be true, what we actually mean is that we have shown that the probability that the null result is correct is horribly small. We also explore curve fitting a bit as I seem to talk about it a lot.Thank you all for watching!You can find me on twitter at: twitter.com/science_abI’m now on Patreon as well: patreon.com/ABscience

Flat Earth is Dead Right? FeCoNi 2019-09-26 | There have been a few videos in which the presenter claims that the flat earth movement is dead, I wasn't sure whether we can make such a bold statement. So, I figured that I should look into it
