Introduction

Dear Visitors,                                                                                                                                    April 21, 2017

Thank you for stopping at FlatEarthLunacy.com

As a scientist with college degree in Astronomy, minor in Physics and Mathematics, I was appalled to find folks telling outright falsities and presenting bad science to bolster suspicion of our known accepted reality - that the Earth is a beautiful blue globe.

This blog clearly shows scientific proofs that debunk everything that flat Earth proponents claim.  Here we also expose the comments those YouTube video channels delete, because they don't want you to see them.

The Earth is not flat.  That claim is a conspiracy theory perpetrated by ignorant people who have ulterior personal motives and agendas.

The Earth is a beautiful blue spheroid globe spinning on an axis 23.5° once each day, and orbiting the Sun every 365.25 days.

Ranty! & Ranty Flat Earth (Shane Cook) - from flat Earth advocate FAIL, to globe Earth champion

Dear Readers, 

Based on flat Earth debunk work by Roohif, Ranti (Shane Cook) finally realized that the Earth is really a globe - not flat as previously contended.

Did Ranty have an epiphany? Or did he always know the truth?, by Miles Davis
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1trR_1yWSA

I did a quick poll & 100% of the votes at the time I'm writing this wanted me to publish this long version rather than try to edit it down. I've had to put this together quite quickly while dealing with my ageing mother being the victim of a handbag snatch & having her bank cards driving licence and mobile phone stolen so apologies for the length & quality.

Ranty, if you read this, I really would like to have a conversation with you. I'd very much like to understand how things were for you when you were a flat earther. If you really did believe the Earth was flat back then it should be pretty easy to convince me. We can do it in private & off the record or in public, recorded or livestreamed. I don't mind.

Ranty | Escaping the Rabbit Hole, by Bob the Sciennce Guy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=193LkKLOtXs

Ranty shocked the science denial community recently by turning his back on the conspiracy. In the first of a 5 part series, we look at the photograph that returned him to reality.

In future episodes we will look a the conspiratorial mind set, how people fall in the rabbit hole and the techniques the leaders of the movement use to promoting it and recruit.

In the final episode we open it up to the panel to chat with Ranty directly.

Ranty | The Conspriatorial Mindset, by by Bob the Sciennce Guy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZtZDvW45-s

Why do people fall into the Rabbit Hole of the FE? Ranty looks at how the FE looks at evidence, the conditions they set to evaluate that evidence and if they even look at evidence that counters their narrative.

Ranty | The Flers Daddies, by Bob the Sciennce Guy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69q0b6ipeT0

Flerf Daddies. Whenever I speak with a science denier, I try to figure out who their flerf daddy is, because that enables me to anticipate their arguments. Second Law of Thermodynamics violation, R or geometric horizon? Nathan Oakley is their flerf daddy. Bizarre definition of scientific method? QE is their flerf daddy. In this episode,

Ranty talks about the flerf daddies and their motivations.

Ranty talking about Nathan Oakley,
"the amount of videos he's put out to try and bury this information is telling me that he's doing it to protect his income rather than face.  You know that if he was a true seeker he would be addressing the truth in this image (the black swan) ...
He won't concede it.  And that's very telling to me."

Quantum Eraser also discussed. 

Ranty says, "yeh I believe that there's a whole bunch of people out there that are genuinely. 100 percent you know, true flat Earthers, and I don't think whatever you say to them, that they will come back from that."

"Bob Knodel.  I genuinely believe that he 1,000 percent believes the Earth is flat."

Ranty | House of Cards | Foundation of Sand, by Bob the Sciennce Guy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqKGRig2ASs

Today Ranty gives us further insight to the conspiratorial mindset of FE, showing that once evidence of the globe is accepted the entire structure folds. Gravity, Flight Plans, Space, Rotation all come into focus once the shape of the earth is correctly understood.

We also look into the argumentativeness of flerfs and how they thrive on conflict rather than actually seek the truth.

It really is a very simple challenge but I've decided to make it even more simple just for people like Ranty who seem to think that they need to know all sorts of additional information.

A re-upload because the first attempt had some audio issues. Hopefully all sorted out now. I really must get myself a new computer.

I had intended to treat this just as a proof of concept test to iron out the wrinkles and then publish a better version but it seems that several other YouTubers are playing around with this sort of thing so I thought I should publish this now even though the results are quite preliminary. Let me know if you think it's worth doing demonstrations/experiments of this sort.

WhRnaty's Failures Part 2, by Hugh Jarsz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYd4Qk8tQEg

WheresWally (with help from Critical Think) gave poor old Ranty a lambasting in part 1 pointing out his many failures.

Here in Part 2, I'm concentrating on one of Ranty's latest videos, one he modestly called "The Best Flat Earth Footage And Proof Bar None", because it's a showcase of why he's a failure. He's so desperate to believe that there is a flat earth, that he won't do the least he can do to make his 'findings' based on anything real. Especially if he did so, it would show him that he's wrong.

Have a bit of fun with this one folks!

Magnetism and Weight - Evidence that flat earthers are wrong again, by Critical Think
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBbFCwiWlrA

I am often told that things like magnetism can affect the weight measurement at different latitudes is a "plausible" explanation for the measured correlation of the effect of centrifugal force on an object.

Such claims are made without evidence, and as always, flatties demand we provide the evidence to counter their plucked out of thin air claims.

So here's the evidence that shows that variations in the Earth's magnetic field can be ignored when measuring weight changes vs latitude.

It’s important to point out that no POSITIVE PROOF has ever been presented as evidence that the Earth is flat. Only negative irrational and unscientific theories have been exhibited.

All attempts to prove the Earth is flat are based upon efforts to cast doubt on the validity of scientific data that clearly demonstrates that the Earth is a globe - rather than showing proof of flatness. 

POSITIVE PROOF you need to provide for us:

A real photograph taken from an elevation of 500 miles or more above the surface of the Earth, that clearly shows the Earth is flat.

A real photograph taken of the flat Earth edge.

If no edge, then a real photograph of the infinite expanse.
If no infinite expanse, then a real photograph of the dome.
If no dome, then at least 1,000 photos of the 25,000 mile long impenetrable ice wall.
If no ice wall, then a real photograph of the lost civilizations that are there.
If no lost civilization's, then what is your next guess?
