Flat earthers can't seem to shut up about how gas pressure requires a container, which they think means that the atmosphere would drift off into space if the Earth were a planet and space were not just a NASA-created fiction. Of course, they're wrong. Here, I explain why. Not that they'll care.

Flat Earthers obviously deny the heliocentric model of the Solar system. Here's how we know its scale and shape, and how you can verify it using technology from the 16th century... putting you 2000 years ahead of flerfs. Also, we have a look at how the shape of the Solar system is perfectly explained by gravity, and this little thing called Kepler's third law; yet more easily verifiable science that flers have to deny to maintain their delusions.

Flat earthers claim that gravity doesn't exist, and that things fall because of density. Of course, in reality, density (or density differential) alone won't make anything fall. In this video, I go over some of the problems with their idea of how physics works, and how it conflicts with easily verifiable empirical facts.

Spoiler alert: the flers are wrong by quite a few orders of magnitude.
A version of this video was uploaded earlier, but with an error in one of the graphics. The correct calculations were made, but it caused confusion, so I corrected it.

My Twitter: @MartymerM81On Flerf Stupidity | FLERFPRATT 3Martymer 812021-12-30 | Flat Earthers tend to respond to accusations of being stupid by saying that it's "globers" who are the stupid ones, since we "blindly accept what we're told." Flerfs are "good skeptics" who are "just questioning," and they think we are calling them stupid for doing so. However, to my knowledge, no one is calling them stupid for asking questions. Even a so-called stupid question like "if the Earth is round, why don't we fall off it?" is a good question if asked with an honest desire to learn, and that's the issue here: flerfs have no honest desire to learn. Therein lies the stupidity.

In this part, I address the claim that there is no evidence in support of the spherical Earth, in other words, "show me the cuvature!"

Apologist Brian Melugin wrote an article on creationtoday.org (Eric Hovind's place), claiming to show logically (lol) that atheists must believe that atheists don't exist; thus, presumably, disproving atheism. As I'm sure you expect, it's stupid and dishonest, so let's rip it to shreds!
WLC's original video: youtube.com/watch?v=BHQqKal8v3wElectric Gravity: Shockingly Bad CosmologyMartymer 812020-07-31 | Time to finally address the electric universe: a pseudoscientific model of cosmology according to which gravity does not exist, and everything we attribute to it is explained as a result of electromagnetic interactions. As I'm sure you'd expect, the only way to make this "work" is to make the explanations unfalsifiable, and to reject mainstream cosmology as a giant conspiracy. The more you know about general relativity and Big Bang cosmology, the more you'll need those facial protection oven mitts.
In this video, I take a look at Wallace Thornhill's post on holoscience.com, where he explains why he thinks gravity is an electromagnetic phenomenon, and how he, who has no qualifications relevant to cosmology, can know that all those who do are wrong.
