2019 Flat-Earther Experiment: Disproving a Flat Earth
In 2019, a group of flat-earthers attempted to prove that the Earth is flat but ended up disproving their own belief through two key experiments.
Gyroscope Experiment
They invested over $20,000 in a highly precise gyroscope designed to measure Earth’s motion. Their expectation was that if the Earth were flat, the gyroscope would show no drift. Contrary to this, the gyroscope displayed a drift of 15掳 per hour, which aligns with the behavior expected on a spherical Earth.
Light and Camera Experiment
The second experiment involved two boards with holes cut at the same height, placed far apart. A camera was positioned on one side and a light on the other. According to flat Earth theory, the camera should be able to see the light when both were at the same height. However, the camera could only see the light when it was raised higher, indicating the presence of Earth’s curvature.
Key Points
- Purchased a gyroscope costing over $20,000 to detect Earth’s rotation.
- Expected no drift if Earth was flat; observed a 15掳 per hour drift instead.
- Conducted an experiment with two boards at equal height, using a camera and a light.
- The light had to be raised higher for the camera to see it, supporting a round Earth.
