If you get two people at different distances from the equator, and they measure their shadows at the same time, their shadows will be different lengths. Look downĪn equally straightforward way to prove the Earth is not flat is to simply measure your shadow. If the Earth was flat, everyone would be able to see the same constellations.
Someone in Australia will see a different sky to someone in England at night - for example, you can't see Polaris, the North Star, from the southern hemisphere. When you look up at the night sky, you can only see certain constellations from certain points on Earth. So, with everyone staying inside over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic, we thought it was the perfect time to compile the ways you can prove that the Earth most definitely a globe. But a very, very small minority of us cling inexplicably to the idea of a flat Earth. I don't go up and down at a 360-degree angle," he added as another reason why the Earth could not be round.Pretty much everyone knows the Earth is a globe. "I drive from coast to coast and the Earth is f***ing flat to me. From a 20-hour flight "in which he never went in a straight line or turned upside down" to commenting that the lake at his house "would never have changed its position".Īll these phenomena, according to the former Los Angeles Lakers star, among other NBA teams, would be the result of the flatness of the planet.Īccording to O'Neal, this would be inconsistent if the Earth were a ball, as has been recognised for centuries. In the podcast 'The Kyle and Jackie O Show', ' Shaq' gave several arguments to defend this theory. Shaquille O'Neal is one of the most famous flat-Earthers and has explained on several occasions things that give him doubt. The documentary also showed a flat-Earther conducting an experiment in which torchlight shone through holes that, once again, accidentally proved that our planet is round. He went viral at the time and, after the experiment, returned to internet stardom. In fact, Knodel was featured in the Netflix documentary 'Behind the Curve', in which different theories about flat Earth are presented. He appeared in the documentary 'Behind the Curve' Obviously, we weren't willing to accept that, so we started looking for ways to disprove that it was actually recording the motion of the Earth," Knodel explained after the experiment. Now, obviously we were surprised by that: 'Wow, that's a problem'. "What we found is that when we turned on that gyroscope, we discovered that we were picking up a drift. Although there is no evidence that our planet is flat, this man bought a laser gyroscope, the light should be seen at a certain distance, but it was not, demonstrating the opposite of what his theory proposes. It was a study that cost him 18,000 euros, but turned out very badly for him. The flat-Earther and YouTuber Bob Knodel carried out an experiment with which he had hoped to prove that the Earth is flat.
