The moment a Flat Earther realizes that the Earth is round… Priceless!
The real kicker is that they managed to somehow drum up $20,000 for a ring laser gyroscope, to ‘disprove’ the 15° per-hour ‘drift’ observed on a round, rotating earth.
Well, of course it measured the 15° drift, which shouldn’t happen in their ‘flat earth’ model.
But wait! Maybe it’s “heaven energies” that are causing the drift, not the rotation of a spherical earth! So what you really need to do, is isolate the gyroscope in a ‘zero gauss chamber’!
Done. Oops, still measuring that 15° drift.
“Ok, what we REALLY need to measure this with, is to put this whole gyro in a ‘bizmuth crystal chamber’, to try isolating this instrument from the ‘heaven energies’…”
The guy who dropped the $20,000 probably thinks it’s broken and wants his money back.
Naturally, they suppressed the results of their experiments (a moment captured beautifully in the doc: “don’t tell anyone, if this gets out, …. game over for flat earth”). Indeed.
Watch the full documentary, it’s worth it.
The way the Jeran experiment was presented in the documentary is scientific fraud. Nine of the ten observations did not show the event. The fourth observation was the only one where the event occurred, and the only one which was published in the documentary. https://www.reddit.com/r/flatEarth/comments/7sc4w5/about_the_cringiest_thing_youll_see_today/dt5gzyr/ ” In about 10 tries, with the light held waist-high at 17 feet above water we never clearly saw it through the center panel hole. On one of the attempts, maybe the fourth of ten, we clearly saw it when Enrique lifted it over his head. On that one, Jeran asked him to raise it… Read more »
