Hello, world. Christian Truther here. Got
another video for you today, part five of
my series about the shape of the world.
Is it round or is it flat, and can we
determine an objective truth about it?
Truth that's true, regardless of what we
think about it. And I hope you guys are
coming here looking for truth with open
minds, willing to take a look at things
in an open and honest fashion. Now, real quick,
some housekeeping. These are my rules. The top two are my promise to you and the
bottom two are what I'm going to hold you guys accountable to in the comments
section. Please, treat each other with
respect.
We're all human beings and we...do
something because of that. So, no insults
or anything like that. Also, as always,
this is unscripted, and I'm not using
cuts and green-screen or anything like
that, because I don't believe that my
arguments need it. Now, we are going to be looking at arguments from the flat and
round earth side. We're gonna aim them at each other. Now, today's topic is
curvature. If curvature is real, then what
will we expect to see? Now, from the
flat earth perspective, the earth does not
curve.  It's flat, and everything is flat
on it; I mean, yes, you've got mountains
and hills and everything like that, but it's
all in a planar existence. Of course, according to the globe Earth model, everything curves,
and especially bodies of water. And this
is important because, being a liquid, you
would expect with gravity being in place
that all bodies of water would curve, no
matter how small. But let's talk about
how small that works out to. So, the Earth
average curvature is 8 inches per mile
squared, being, meaning the more miles you're
looking down, the bigger the curvature
would expect to be. Now, that's the
average. I say average, because they also
said that the world is a slightly
bulging sphere, so at certain places on
the earth, it's more than 8, some its
little less than 8. It's about 8, though,
let's just go with that.
But that means in a six foot bathtub,
you'd only be seeing .000015
degrees, about that much curvature.
That's, that's way too small.  What about a
100 foot pool? .00025
degrees.  We're talking, like, a micron.
You would never be able to detect it,
even with a laser and a perfectly level
day, because you can't see a micron. So,
we're talking about an incredibly small
distance of curvature over those types of
water. What we need is something much
bigger, right? Now, just to also give you
an idea, with the earth average eight
inches per mile squared, if you could
walk on water like Jesus, you would start
to lose a bobber floating in the water
about 3.1 miles away. If you could
possibly see a bobber from 3.1 miles
away, but you probably couldn't. But, you
would start losing the ability to see
that bobber after 3.1 miles, according to
the globe earth model. All right,
so I want to introduce us to the
Frying Pan Tower. Frying Pan Tower is
found off the coast of South Carolina,
and I'll explain why I'm introducing you
to it shortly, here, but please note the
very distinctive shape to it. Also, this
is the Carnival Pride, and Carnival Pride
is a cruise ship that, back in 2016,
early 2016, we had the the joy and
privilege of being able to to go on that
cruise ship, and take our very first
cruise as a family. That was before my son was
born, but it was still, it was such a
great trip. We left out of Baltimore and
got to go to the Bahamas, and it was just
a fantastic time. I'm setting the stage
here, obviously. Here's us at our
stateroom deck about deck 8. What you're
gonna see evidence that, that we were
about 80 feet off of the surface of the
water, give or take a few feet, it's gonna
be I mean it's a little difficult to
determine, but I'm assuming again about
10 feet per deck and then, plus my
viewing height,
be about 6 foot tall. Not sure why the 8
is cut off there, but it is. Anyway, let's
get right down to the video at hand. All
right, so there is the Frying Pan Tower.
When I first saw it, I have to admit, I
thought it was an oil rig. I came to find
out you're not actually allowed to drill
off the East Coast the United States.
When we left for Baltimore, I was
standing at my balcony in my stateroom,
panning around, looking for interesting
stuff, and I had a 38 X optical zoom
camera at my disposal, and that's how I
took this video. So, I was able to
calculate the distance away from where I
was to this place based off of the known
height of the tower, which is 80 feet, the
known size of my image sensor, and the
known pixel count of the object on the
sensor. You can use that if you know the
focal range and everything like that of your
camera, you can use that to determine
distance away if you know all the other
variables. Which I do; I know everything
about the camera, because I can look it
up, and I know how high it is (The
Frying Pan Tower) is, because I can look
that up. So, therefore, I can determine
distance away. We're about 17 and a
half miles that (it came out to 17.497, so forgive me if
I'm gonna say 17.5), but
that was the distance away from my
camera that this was. Now my
observational height was about 86
feet. Eight, um, eight decks, so about ten foot per deck and plus my, my personal height. The
bottom deck was not quite at ocean level.
you could still see out the viewports
that there was a little bit distance to
the water. That was the bottom deck that
passengers could get to, there were a
couple more decks below that. You just,
like said, you can check out Spirit class
cruise ships on your own, I'm not gonna
go into any more detail about that. But if the world is round, then we expect the bulge to
hide about sixteen feet
with refraction (about 25 feet without
refraction). But regardless, this structure
down here, basically, we're not going to
be able to see. Now, I'm gonna go back to
that video, here; we're gonna see if we
can see this at all. So, this is an
experiment we're running. Can we see this
stuff, and can we see this stuff? Now, this
is a lot thinner than this, so, yes I'm
going to be expecting to see this. The,
these posts are thinner on the support
struts. So, let's take a look at that
video again. Oh, I messed up. Sorry, guys.
Just one more time, and there it is. Yes,
we can see the stuff underneath. We can't
see any the stuff at the very bottom. Now,
you could argue...I'm gonna show you the
rest of the shot that I took, because I
was zoomed out about 38 x optical. That's
my beautiful wife. We were just enjoying
the time. I'm gonna actually aim it down
and see how far off the water I am. I'm
actually, at this point, I'm looking for
dolphins. We were followed by dolphins
out of the port, and that was a really
cool experience. I didn't see any this
time. But, anyway, that gives you a bit of
an idea of how high up we are and what I
was seeing out there at 17 and a half miles
away, and the Frying Pan Tower was
invisible at, below a certain point, and
it wasn't a mirage, because the struts
angle out, and they continued to angle
out. If it had been a mirage, they would
have curved back in to mirror the image.
Now, something was blocking my view, and the water's fairly calm. What was that? It
had to have been water. But we don't see
any wave action. But, you know what?
There was some surface haze. I admit it;
it's not a perfect photo, or video. It's
one that I took, though. But let's see if we can find
someone who had a much better day, and
see what they come up with. So, here he is,
on a beach. A bit on a dune. You can
see he is aiming down, and he sees
something out in the distance. Let's see
what, uh, what it is. That is a cargo
container ship. He's gonna zoom in a
little bit more, and I'm gonna, I'm gonna
bring that up for you, but that is a
cargo container ship, and you can't see
any of the bottom hull. You can see the
water right up to it. You can also see
that the water is not choppy. Let's, let's
continue watching this for just a few
more seconds. No surface haze.
Masts floating up out of the water. This
is, this is absolute proof that the world
is round, because water does curve. It's
very difficult to see because it's such
a big planet. We're talking 24,000 miles in circumference. But that
is what it is.
The world is round and that is the truth.
I believe the Bible is correct when it
says the truth will set you free, so
please realize what the truth is, and
join me next time for another video,
which it's gonna be closer to a week
away. I do, at various points, I'm a musician,
and I have some concert cycles that eat
up a whole bunch of my time. And that's
true this time, so I'm gonna be taking a
hiatus, probably about four or five days
before I post another video. So, just bear
with me, but we will come back. I've got
another, I already have another video
planned and I hope you guys are gonna
like it, but until then, this is Christian
Truther, signing out.
