“Wow, that’s kind of a problem.” Yeah, it is, if you believe that the Earth is flat. “We obviously were not willing to accept that, and so we started looking for ways to disprove it was actually registering the motion of the Earth.” ‘Wow, that’s kind of a problem,’” Knodel says. “Now, obviously we were taken aback by that.

A 15 degree per hour drift,” Knodel says, acknowledging that the gyroscope’s behavior confirmed to exactly what you’d expect from a gyroscope on a rotating globe. “What we found is, is when we turned on that gyroscope we found that we were picking up a drift. As the Earth rotates, the gyroscope appears to lean off-axis, staying in its original position as the Earth’s curvature changes in relation. One of the more jaw-dropping segments of the documentary comes when Bob Knodel, one of the hosts on a popular Flat Earth YouTube channel, walks viewers through an experiment involving a laser gyroscope. If this doesn’t make any sense to you, it’s okay, because it doesn’t. Because science is just a bunch of jerks trying to prove stuff, ya know?Īpparently these people think that the Earth is covered in a giant dome with the sun and moon rotating around… somewhere. In the film, Sargent says that “ The reason why we’re winning against science is that science just throws math at us.”

I imagine they don’t like Neil because they’re tired of getting dunked on by him. “Neil Degrasse Tyson-I hate saying his name, we call him He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named-says that, ‘It’s a growing anti-intellectual movement that borders on the end of civilization and democracy as we know it.’” “Science is having a problem combatting what we are doing,” Mark Sargent says early in Behind the Curve, citing the fact that he can see Seattle skyscrapers from his mother’s home on Whidbey Island, when he presumes they should be hidden behind the Earth’s curvature. If that’s not enough enticement, as Andrew Whalen points out in his piece for Newsweek, the Flat Earthers in the film prove themselves wrong not just once, but twice. A documentary that is available on Netflix is showing the ridiculousness of Flat Eathers from all around the globe.īehind the Curve shows us that Flat Earthers are nothing if not creative with their ‘logic’. After all, Flat Earthers have also said that the Earth is shaped like a donut, and used some pretty impressive mental gymnastics to get to that point.
