Eric Dubay (Eric Michaels) - Dear Spinning Ball Earth Believer
Dear Eric Dubay,
Fact check = You FAIL
Contrary to your assertion, most flat Earth proponents know next to nothing about physics and the other disciplines of science.
They constantly present explanations and theories that have no basis in how the universe really functions.
They present scientifically flawed arguments that try to prove the Foucault pendulum does not work, that Eratosthenes did not accurately measure the circumference of our globe Earth in 240 BC, that Henry Cavendish did not figure out the mass of the Earth, etc., etc., etc.
It's all just a show of ignorance. Misleading attempts to bolster the flawed and untrue assertion that the Earth is not a globe.
Most flat Earthers have never gone beyond simple junior high school mathematics.
The effort to discredit science and claim that a worldwide conspiracy exists to hide the flat Earth, is mostly due to those peoples NEED to bolster their religious belief and the contention that science is against God (which is not true).
Most say that gravity does not exist.
Many claim that the Sun and Moon are only 3,000 miles above the surface of the Earth.
Some claim that the Moon is a hologram in the sky.
They even show us where the background projection screen is high up.
Some claim that the Moon generates and emits its own energy.
Some claim that the Earth is not a globe, but instead is convex or concave in shape.
Since no flat Earth person has ever seen the edge, there is no agreement as to what is there (infinite plane or edge).
Some claim that the Earth is hollow; filled with intelligent creatures.
There is no single consensus. Many flat Earth proponents disagree with other flat Earth proponents.
Many claim that an invisible glass dome (the firmament) surrounds the Earth.
Many just present opinion with no evidence to back up their claims.
Many just claim that evidence (like picture of the Earth from space) are all fake, because they cannot do anything else to preserve their distorted view of the world.
Samuel Shenton (March 1903 – 2 March 1971) was the founder in 1956 of the International Flat Earth Research Society (IFERS), based in Dover, England.
In 1966 he produced a pamphlet, The Plane Truth, which included a circular informing members "that modern astronomy and space flight were insults to God and divine punishment for humankind's arrogance was a mere matter of time".
Many are just conspiracy theorists.
Many are just distrustful of authority (government, NASA, etc.)
Many rant about how the Earth is flat and a firmament exists simply because they literally interpret what the Bible says.
You and they are all on the wrong side of history.
But none (including you) have ever shown a picture of the flat Earth edge.

The Michelson Morley experiment did not prove that the Earth was stationary, contrary to your claims...
You have completely misunderstood what the two scientists were doing, and why.
The experiment was designed to detect the presence of the aether, a substance believed to fill empty space. The premise was that wave needed water, sound needed air, so light must also need a similar medium to propagate. They named this medium the aether.
Michelson Morley knew that the Earth was globe that orbited the Sun. So if the Earth was orbiting the Sun and the aether was real the speed of the earth would create an either wind. Like the wind outside of a moving car.
Conclusion: The beams of light did not show any interference patterns and the only conclusion to come from that was that the aether did not exist.
Because the experiment did not detect any aether wind, that does not mean the Earth does not move.
The Michelson Morley experiment searched for the "ether" a space-filling substance or field, thought to be necessary as a transmission medium for the propagation of electromagnetic or gravitational forces.
Physicists since then have also not found the aether.
Better that you take a physics 101 class, instead of spreading your lies.

Dear readers,
If you want to know how the universe really functions, go to school so that knowledge and rational thinking can guide your life - rather than superstition and conspiracy theory.
