Furious flat Earther in shock after scientist tells him the Earth rotates

Furious flat Earther in shock after scientist tells him the Earth rotates

"You have to work so hard to not understand things that small children understand"

Another flat Earth 'truther' has been wound up by science.

When it comes to proving themselves wrong or being proved wrong by others, the internet sure loves a good flat Earther video. While everyone is entitled to their views, the flat Earther community remains one of the most maligned - with people claiming their archaic views are more at home in Ancient Greece.

Most brand them as tinfoil hat-wearing conspiracy theorists, and even though flat Earthers continue to defend themselves, there's an argument that they look more ridiculous with every video shared.

Still, it gives us plenty of entertainment, and you only have to look at the popularity of Netflix's Behind the Curve to see it makes for some great content.

Doing the flat Earther community proud, a resurfaced video of Dave Farina, aka Professor Dave Explains, shows one caller hilariously losing their cool while trying to argue the Earth is spherical. (Discussion starts at 46:05)

Dave Farina is known for putting flat Earther's in their place, and while MythVision's Derek Lambert asked Farina to be kind to the caller, the prof couldn't help but chuckle at their angry rant.

In the clip, a caller named 'Tre' tries to argue his case for the flat Earth theory, saying: "Let me say something else first, all flat Earthers don't believe in all the same things that some flat Earthers believe in, that's one that people on the other side [non-flat Earthers] need to understand."

Farina wastes no time in sniping back by saying, "No, you do," which clearly gets under Tre's skin.

Tre defends that he doesn't see the flat Earth idea as a conspiracy theory, with Farina chiming in: "You think that millions of people all over the world are lying about the shape of the Earth and that doesn't qualify as a conspiracy, that's ridiculous."

Tre claims that direct flights across the South Atlantic don't exist - as a way to prove that the Earth is flat - which leads a mocking Farina to joke that's he's going to show this evidence by not finding the evidence. He also claims that a pole to pole circumnavigation has never been done. Although it hasn't been done many times, it's a feat that has been completed on several flights.

Farina repeatedly says, "Google 'circum pole navigation'," as Tre continues to rage.

Professor Dave adds: "This is all you have, [you] take things that have happened and go, 'Nope, they didn't.'"

When asked what problem he has with Farina, a clearly exasperated Tre fumes: "Oh I got a beef with everything he said, he's wrong about everything. Some people just sound smart."

Professor Dave tries to explain that when you go outside and look at the sky, the stars are moving, showing that the Earth is rotating.

In a baffled response, Tre says 'so the sky is moving and the Earth is moving...you just k*lled yourself man'. In shock at Professor Dave's scientifically-backed claim, Tre says '...wow'.

With the argument almost won, Dave brands Tre as 'pathetic' and concludes: "You have to work so hard to not understand things that small children understand."

In the end, Tre is left ranting into the abyss as Farina gets the last word and Lambert eventually cuts the caller off.

It's almost hard not to feel sorry for Tre, but as the flat Earthers continue to give us plenty of chuckles as they talk themselves in circles, it's nearly as hilarious is the one guy who managed to use his own experiment to prove himself wrong.
