&lt;div&gt;[[File:The Debunker logo.png|thumb|right|300px|Profile image used by The Debunker]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Debunker&#039;&#039;&#039; is a science and skepticism content creator who examines [[Flat Earth]] claims, misinformation, pseudoscience, and other questionable internet claims. The Debunker&#039;s videos use direct observations, hands-on experiments, mathematics, historical research, and publicly available evidence to determine whether claims are supported by measurable results.  Edit:  I forgot to add, hes the most humble, and smartest, and well versed, and stongest, and cleanest, and has the best beard, and he probably smalls good too. and did I mention humble?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The channel covers topics including astronomy, atmospheric pressure, Earth&#039;s curvature, eclipses, perspective, gravity, scale, image verification, and the scientific testing of Flat Earth claims. Videos frequently include recorded measurements, equipment demonstrations, mathematical predictions, source research, and responses to claims made by Flat Earth content creators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker produces both short-form and long-form videos for YouTube and TikTok. The creator generally does not appear on camera, instead presenting experiments, equipment, diagrams, screen recordings, photographs, telescope observations, and an illustrated channel avatar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Content and format ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Short-form videos generally examine a single claim, observation, calculation, experiment, or response. Longer videos provide additional background, document experimental methods, present measurements, and compare different explanations in greater detail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Common elements of The Debunker&#039;s content include:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hands-on experiments and demonstrations&lt;br /&gt;
* Recorded measurements and direct observations&lt;br /&gt;
* Predictions calculated before an experiment&lt;br /&gt;
* Comparisons between Flat Earth explanations and globe-based predictions&lt;br /&gt;
* Analysis of photographs, videos, maps, diagrams, and historical documents&lt;br /&gt;
* Examination of viral images and potentially artificial intelligence-generated material&lt;br /&gt;
* Explanations of scientific concepts commonly misunderstood in online discussions&lt;br /&gt;
* Responses to misinformation and unsupported claims&lt;br /&gt;
* Discussion of equipment limitations, measurement uncertainty, and possible sources of error&lt;br /&gt;
* Methods that allow viewers to examine or reproduce an experiment&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Subjects ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Flat Earth claims ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A major focus of The Debunker&#039;s content is examining Flat Earth arguments and the evidence offered to support them. Subjects have included:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Claims about the appearance and location of the horizon&lt;br /&gt;
* Earth&#039;s measurable curvature&lt;br /&gt;
* Perspective and angular size&lt;br /&gt;
* Atmospheric refraction&lt;br /&gt;
* The apparent movement of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars&lt;br /&gt;
* Solar and lunar eclipses&lt;br /&gt;
* The midnight Sun and the 24-hour Sun in Antarctica&lt;br /&gt;
* Claims concerning gravity, density, and buoyancy&lt;br /&gt;
* Air pressure and the atmosphere&lt;br /&gt;
* Long-distance photographs and observations&lt;br /&gt;
* Historical maps alleged to depict a Flat Earth&lt;br /&gt;
* Proposed Flat Earth maps and real-world travel distances&lt;br /&gt;
* Claims concerning spaceflight, satellites, and astronomical observations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flat Earth explanations are evaluated by examining whether they make specific and testable predictions, whether those predictions agree with recorded observations, and whether the same explanation can consistently account for related phenomena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Astronomy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Astronomy-related content has included observations and explanations involving:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The apparent motion of the Sun and Moon&lt;br /&gt;
* The phases and orientation of the Moon&lt;br /&gt;
* Solar and lunar eclipses&lt;br /&gt;
* Total, partial, and annular eclipses&lt;br /&gt;
* Apparent size and angular diameter&lt;br /&gt;
* The movement of stars and constellations&lt;br /&gt;
* The relationship between latitude and the observed altitude of Polaris&lt;br /&gt;
* Observations of planets and deep-sky objects&lt;br /&gt;
* Astronomical events predicted in advance&lt;br /&gt;
* The relationship between an observer&#039;s location and the visible sky&lt;br /&gt;
* Transits of the International Space Station across the Sun or Moon&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These videos may use recorded sky observations, telescope imagery, astronomy software, published predictions, and comparisons between observations made from different geographic locations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Atmospheric pressure and vacuum experiments ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker has conducted experiments involving air pressure, temperature, humidity, air density, and partial vacuums. These experiments have included:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Measuring the pressure produced by a consumer vacuum chamber&lt;br /&gt;
* Calculating air density from pressure and temperature measurements&lt;br /&gt;
* Comparing pressure measurements with equivalent atmospheric altitudes&lt;br /&gt;
* Testing wireless radio communication inside a vacuum chamber&lt;br /&gt;
* Monitoring GPS reception under reduced pressure&lt;br /&gt;
* Monitoring temperature changes during pressure reduction&lt;br /&gt;
* Demonstrating how reduced pressure lowers the boiling point of water&lt;br /&gt;
* Comparing the pressure required to boil water samples at different temperatures&lt;br /&gt;
* Demonstrating evaporative cooling during low-pressure boiling&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Electronic sensors and custom data displays are used to record changing conditions during these experiments. Where applicable, measured results are compared with predictions calculated from established physical relationships.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Source and image verification ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some videos investigate the origin and reliability of material circulated as evidence online. This has included:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Searching for the original source of images and illustrations&lt;br /&gt;
* Examining publication dates and historical context&lt;br /&gt;
* Comparing modern reproductions with alleged historical documents&lt;br /&gt;
* Identifying unsupported claims attached to maps or photographs&lt;br /&gt;
* Examining whether images show indications of artificial intelligence generation or digital manipulation&lt;br /&gt;
* Distinguishing between evidence contained in an image and claims added when the image was reposted&lt;br /&gt;
* Tracing viral claims to their earliest identifiable sources&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Experiments and observations ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Eratosthenes-style shadow measurements ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker organized a coordinated shadow-measurement experiment based on the method associated with [[Eratosthenes]]. Participants in multiple locations recorded the height of an object, its shadow length, the measurement time, and geographic location. The measurements were used to estimate Earth&#039;s circumference and compare the observations with predictions for a spherical Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project emphasized documenting the original measurements, participant locations, calculation methods, and differences between the individual results.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The complete methodology and results were presented in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkXitCFNzDU Eratosthenes Experiment 2026: Real Multi-Location Data Results (No Filters)].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Foucault pendulum ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker constructed a [[Foucault pendulum]] in a garage to examine the gradual rotation of the pendulum&#039;s swing plane. The expected rate of precession was calculated for the experiment&#039;s latitude and compared with the measured result.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The experiment focused on whether the direction and approximate rate of the observed movement could be predicted before measurements were collected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The construction, prediction, measurement process, and results were documented in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K_VpJ5BNQ8 I Measured Earth’s Rotation With a Pendulum in My Garage].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vacuum chamber measurements ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vacuum chamber experiments have been used to investigate atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, calculated air density, boiling points, radio communication, GPS reception, and the transmission of visible light under reduced pressure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeWIRw1K_k4 Can Water Boil at 89°F? I Tested It in a Vacuum Chamber], water samples with different starting temperatures were placed under decreasing pressure. The experiment examined the relationship between water temperature, vapor pressure, boiling, and evaporative cooling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A separate experiment, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ndr3hGSVz8 I Tested Radio, GPS, and Light Inside a Vacuum Chamber], investigated whether reducing the amount of surrounding air affected radio communication, GPS reception, or the transmission of visible light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Curvature and long-distance visibility ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker has examined long-distance photographs and videos presented as evidence against Earth&#039;s curvature. These investigations consider observer height, target height, distance, atmospheric refraction, camera position, terrain, and the portion of an object predicted to be hidden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tcRcowiQyk 10 Flat Earth Long Distance Observations Debunked With Real Measurements] compares multiple widely circulated observations with geographic information, measurable distances, and predicted obstruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3yHpjImSYk Can Zoom Bring Boats Back Over Earth’s Curve? I Tested It] examines the claim that camera zoom can restore portions of an object hidden beyond the horizon. The experiment distinguishes between making a visible object appear larger and recovering a physically obstructed portion of an object.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Scale and curvature demonstrations ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker has produced demonstrations concerning the scale of Earth and the small amount of curvature or angular change expected across short distances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These videos distinguish between the existence of a measurable effect and whether a particular experiment is sufficiently large, precise, or sensitive to detect it. The same approach is used when discussing angular size, visibility, perspective, atmospheric conditions, and the limitations of cameras or measuring equipment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Polaris and latitude ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The relationship between an observer&#039;s latitude and the measured altitude of [[Polaris]] has been examined as a test of Earth geometry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZGNx8SBPVA Why Polaris Angle Matches Latitude (And Not Flat Earth Geometry)] compares observed Polaris angles with an observer&#039;s latitude and with the predictions of competing Earth models.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Apparent size of the Sun ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flat Earth discussions sometimes claim that the Sun should become noticeably larger or smaller as its distance from an observer changes throughout the day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeP0U_Hn2X4 Does the Sun Change Size During the Day? I Measured It in Pixels] uses repeated photographs and pixel measurements to test whether the Sun&#039;s apparent diameter changes substantially while crossing the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== ISS lunar transit ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker has documented the process of locating, predicting, preparing for, and photographing an [[International Space Station]] transit across the Moon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c9x13mCW8M How to Photograph an ISS Lunar Transit (Step-by-Step Guide)] explains the equipment, timing, positioning, camera settings, and short observation window involved in recording a predicted transit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Solar eclipses ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Solar-eclipse content has examined the apparent sizes and relative positions of the Sun and Moon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPgJNdzvK6M Total vs Annular vs Partial Solar Eclipses Explained (2026)] explains how the apparent angular sizes and alignment of the Sun and Moon determine whether an eclipse is total, annular, or partial.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Maps and commercial flights ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker has examined whether proposed Flat Earth maps are consistent with measurable distances, commercial flight routes, and real travel times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDHM3dikcO8 Flat Earth Map DESTROYED by Real Flights Anyone Can Book] compares actual flight routes and scheduled travel times with the distances implied by a commonly presented Flat Earth map.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Historical map claims ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historical-source investigations have examined maps and illustrations circulated online as supposed evidence of earlier knowledge of a Flat Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_7N3F4cjwo The Truth Behind the “Nazi Flat Earth Map”] traces the origin and context of an image described online as a secret German or Nazi-era Flat Earth map.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Approach ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker&#039;s stated approach emphasizes positive, observable, repeatable, and measurable evidence. Explanations are evaluated by asking:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Does the explanation make a specific prediction?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Can that prediction be measured or observed?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Does the result agree with the prediction?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Can the result be reproduced?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Does the explanation account for related observations consistently?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Does it provide a quantitative model rather than only a possible verbal explanation?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Content frequently distinguishes between proposing a possible explanation for an observation and demonstrating that the explanation quantitatively agrees with the observation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker also emphasizes the importance of scale. An experiment may be incapable of detecting a real effect if its distance, duration, instrument resolution, or expected change is too small.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When relevant, results are compared with predictions made before the experiment. Differences between predicted and measured results, possible experimental errors, instrument limitations, and alternative explanations are discussed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Research and equipment ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on the subject, The Debunker&#039;s content may use:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Cameras and telescope systems&lt;br /&gt;
* Pressure, temperature, and humidity sensors&lt;br /&gt;
* Vacuum chamber equipment&lt;br /&gt;
* Custom-built electronic data loggers&lt;br /&gt;

* Mathematical models used to calculate expected observations&lt;br /&gt;
* Photographic and video-analysis software&lt;br /&gt;
* Public geographic, elevation, and flight information&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Measurements, equipment limitations, experimental errors, and differences between predicted and observed results are discussed when relevant.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The channel covers topics including astronomy, atmospheric pressure, Earth&#039;s curvature, eclipses, perspective, gravity, scale, image verification, and the scientific testing of Flat Earth claims. Videos frequently include recorded measurements, equipment demonstrations, mathematical predictions, source research, and responses to claims made by Flat Earth content creators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker produces both short-form and long-form videos for YouTube and TikTok. The creator generally does not appear on camera, instead presenting experiments, equipment, diagrams, screen recordings, photographs, telescope observations, and an illustrated channel avatar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Content and format ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Short-form videos generally examine a single claim, observation, calculation, experiment, or response. Longer videos provide additional background, document experimental methods, present measurements, and compare different explanations in greater detail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Common elements of The Debunker&#039;s content include:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hands-on experiments and demonstrations&lt;br /&gt;
* Recorded measurements and direct observations&lt;br /&gt;
* Predictions calculated before an experiment&lt;br /&gt;
* Comparisons between Flat Earth explanations and globe-based predictions&lt;br /&gt;
* Analysis of photographs, videos, maps, diagrams, and historical documents&lt;br /&gt;
* Examination of viral images and potentially artificial intelligence-generated material&lt;br /&gt;
* Explanations of scientific concepts commonly misunderstood in online discussions&lt;br /&gt;
* Responses to misinformation and unsupported claims&lt;br /&gt;
* Discussion of equipment limitations, measurement uncertainty, and possible sources of error&lt;br /&gt;
* Methods that allow viewers to examine or reproduce an experiment&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Subjects ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Flat Earth claims ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A major focus of The Debunker&#039;s content is examining Flat Earth arguments and the evidence offered to support them. Subjects have included:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Claims about the appearance and location of the horizon&lt;br /&gt;
* Earth&#039;s measurable curvature&lt;br /&gt;
* Perspective and angular size&lt;br /&gt;
* Atmospheric refraction&lt;br /&gt;
* The apparent movement of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars&lt;br /&gt;
* Solar and lunar eclipses&lt;br /&gt;
* The midnight Sun and the 24-hour Sun in Antarctica&lt;br /&gt;
* Claims concerning gravity, density, and buoyancy&lt;br /&gt;
* Air pressure and the atmosphere&lt;br /&gt;
* Long-distance photographs and observations&lt;br /&gt;
* Historical maps alleged to depict a Flat Earth&lt;br /&gt;
* Proposed Flat Earth maps and real-world travel distances&lt;br /&gt;
* Claims concerning spaceflight, satellites, and astronomical observations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flat Earth explanations are evaluated by examining whether they make specific and testable predictions, whether those predictions agree with recorded observations, and whether the same explanation can consistently account for related phenomena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Astronomy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Astronomy-related content has included observations and explanations involving:&lt;br /&gt;

* Tracing viral claims to their earliest identifiable sources&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Experiments and observations ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Eratosthenes-style shadow measurements ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker organized a coordinated shadow-measurement experiment based on the method associated with [[Eratosthenes]]. Participants in multiple locations recorded the height of an object, its shadow length, the measurement time, and geographic location. The measurements were used to estimate Earth&#039;s circumference and compare the observations with predictions for a spherical Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project emphasized documenting the original measurements, participant locations, calculation methods, and differences between the individual results.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The complete methodology and results were presented in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkXitCFNzDU Eratosthenes Experiment 2026: Real Multi-Location Data Results (No Filters)].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Foucault pendulum ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker constructed a [[Foucault pendulum]] in a garage to examine the gradual rotation of the pendulum&#039;s swing plane. The expected rate of precession was calculated for the experiment&#039;s latitude and compared with the measured result.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The experiment focused on whether the direction and approximate rate of the observed movement could be predicted before measurements were collected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The construction, prediction, measurement process, and results were documented in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K_VpJ5BNQ8 I Measured Earth’s Rotation With a Pendulum in My Garage].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vacuum chamber measurements ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vacuum chamber experiments have been used to investigate atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, calculated air density, boiling points, radio communication, GPS reception, and the transmission of visible light under reduced pressure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeWIRw1K_k4 Can Water Boil at 89°F? I Tested It in a Vacuum Chamber], water samples with different starting temperatures were placed under decreasing pressure. The experiment examined the relationship between water temperature, vapor pressure, boiling, and evaporative cooling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A separate experiment, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ndr3hGSVz8 I Tested Radio, GPS, and Light Inside a Vacuum Chamber], investigated whether reducing the amount of surrounding air affected radio communication, GPS reception, or the transmission of visible light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Curvature and long-distance visibility ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker has examined long-distance photographs and videos presented as evidence against Earth&#039;s curvature. These investigations consider observer height, target height, distance, atmospheric refraction, camera position, terrain, and the portion of an object predicted to be hidden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tcRcowiQyk 10 Flat Earth Long Distance Observations Debunked With Real Measurements] compares multiple widely circulated observations with geographic information, measurable distances, and predicted obstruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3yHpjImSYk Can Zoom Bring Boats Back Over Earth’s Curve? I Tested It] examines the claim that camera zoom can restore portions of an object hidden beyond the horizon. The experiment distinguishes between making a visible object appear larger and recovering a physically obstructed portion of an object.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Scale and curvature demonstrations ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker has produced demonstrations concerning the scale of Earth and the small amount of curvature or angular change expected across short distances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These videos distinguish between the existence of a measurable effect and whether a particular experiment is sufficiently large, precise, or sensitive to detect it. The same approach is used when discussing angular size, visibility, perspective, atmospheric conditions, and the limitations of cameras or measuring equipment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Polaris and latitude ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The relationship between an observer&#039;s latitude and the measured altitude of [[Polaris]] has been examined as a test of Earth geometry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZGNx8SBPVA Why Polaris Angle Matches Latitude (And Not Flat Earth Geometry)] compares observed Polaris angles with an observer&#039;s latitude and with the predictions of competing Earth models.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Apparent size of the Sun ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flat Earth discussions sometimes claim that the Sun should become noticeably larger or smaller as its distance from an observer changes throughout the day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeP0U_Hn2X4 Does the Sun Change Size During the Day? I Measured It in Pixels] uses repeated photographs and pixel measurements to test whether the Sun&#039;s apparent diameter changes substantially while crossing the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== ISS lunar transit ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker has documented the process of locating, predicting, preparing for, and photographing an [[International Space Station]] transit across the Moon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c9x13mCW8M How to Photograph an ISS Lunar Transit (Step-by-Step Guide)] explains the equipment, timing, positioning, camera settings, and short observation window involved in recording a predicted transit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Solar eclipses ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Solar-eclipse content has examined the apparent sizes and relative positions of the Sun and Moon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPgJNdzvK6M Total vs Annular vs Partial Solar Eclipses Explained (2026)] explains how the apparent angular sizes and alignment of the Sun and Moon determine whether an eclipse is total, annular, or partial.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Maps and commercial flights ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker has examined whether proposed Flat Earth maps are consistent with measurable distances, commercial flight routes, and real travel times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDHM3dikcO8 Flat Earth Map DESTROYED by Real Flights Anyone Can Book] compares actual flight routes and scheduled travel times with the distances implied by a commonly presented Flat Earth map.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Historical map claims ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historical-source investigations have examined maps and illustrations circulated online as supposed evidence of earlier knowledge of a Flat Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_7N3F4cjwo The Truth Behind the “Nazi Flat Earth Map”] traces the origin and context of an image described online as a secret German or Nazi-era Flat Earth map.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Approach ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker&#039;s stated approach emphasizes positive, observable, repeatable, and measurable evidence. Explanations are evaluated by asking:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Does the explanation make a specific prediction?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Can that prediction be measured or observed?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Does the result agree with the prediction?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Can the result be reproduced?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Does the explanation account for related observations consistently?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Does it provide a quantitative model rather than only a possible verbal explanation?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Content frequently distinguishes between proposing a possible explanation for an observation and demonstrating that the explanation quantitatively agrees with the observation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker also emphasizes the importance of scale. An experiment may be incapable of detecting a real effect if its distance, duration, instrument resolution, or expected change is too small.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When relevant, results are compared with predictions made before the experiment. Differences between predicted and measured results, possible experimental errors, instrument limitations, and alternative explanations are discussed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Research and equipment ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on the subject, The Debunker&#039;s content may use:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Cameras and telescope systems&lt;br /&gt;
* Pressure, temperature, and humidity sensors&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
These videos may use recorded sky observations, telescope imagery, astronomy software, published predictions, and comparisons between observations made from different geographic locations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Atmospheric pressure and vacuum experiments ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker has conducted experiments involving air pressure, temperature, humidity, air density, and partial vacuums. These experiments have included:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Measuring the pressure produced by a consumer vacuum chamber&lt;br /&gt;
* Calculating air density from pressure and temperature measurements&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Experiments and observations ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Eratosthenes-style shadow measurements ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker organized a coordinated shadow-measurement experiment based on the method associated with [[Eratosthenes]]. Participants in multiple locations recorded the height of an object, its shadow length, the measurement time, and geographic location. The measurements were used to estimate Earth&#039;s circumference and compare the observations with predictions for a spherical Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project emphasized documenting the original measurements, participant locations, calculation methods, and differences between the individual results.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The complete methodology and results were presented in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkXitCFNzDU Eratosthenes Experiment 2026: Real Multi-Location Data Results (No Filters)].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Foucault pendulum ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker constructed a [[Foucault pendulum]] in a garage to examine the gradual rotation of the pendulum&#039;s swing plane. The expected rate of precession was calculated for the experiment&#039;s latitude and compared with the measured result.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The experiment focused on whether the direction and approximate rate of the observed movement could be predicted before measurements were collected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The construction, prediction, measurement process, and results were documented in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K_VpJ5BNQ8 I Measured Earth’s Rotation With a Pendulum in My Garage].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vacuum chamber measurements ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vacuum chamber experiments have been used to investigate atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, calculated air density, boiling points, radio communication, GPS reception, and the transmission of visible light under reduced pressure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeWIRw1K_k4 Can Water Boil at 89°F? I Tested It in a Vacuum Chamber], water samples with different starting temperatures were placed under decreasing pressure. The experiment examined the relationship between water temperature, vapor pressure, boiling, and evaporative cooling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A separate experiment, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ndr3hGSVz8 I Tested Radio, GPS, and Light Inside a Vacuum Chamber], investigated whether reducing the amount of surrounding air affected radio communication, GPS reception, or the transmission of visible light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Curvature and long-distance visibility ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker has examined long-distance photographs and videos presented as evidence against Earth&#039;s curvature. These investigations consider observer height, target height, distance, atmospheric refraction, camera position, terrain, and the portion of an object predicted to be hidden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tcRcowiQyk 10 Flat Earth Long Distance Observations Debunked With Real Measurements] compares multiple widely circulated observations with geographic information, measurable distances, and predicted obstruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3yHpjImSYk Can Zoom Bring Boats Back Over Earth’s Curve? I Tested It] examines the claim that camera zoom can restore portions of an object hidden beyond the horizon. The experiment distinguishes between making a visible object appear larger and recovering a physically obstructed portion of an object.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Scale and curvature demonstrations ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker has produced demonstrations concerning the scale of Earth and the small amount of curvature or angular change expected across short distances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These videos distinguish between the existence of a measurable effect and whether a particular experiment is sufficiently large, precise, or sensitive to detect it. The same approach is used when discussing angular size, visibility, perspective, atmospheric conditions, and the limitations of cameras or measuring equipment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Polaris and latitude ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The relationship between an observer&#039;s latitude and the measured altitude of [[Polaris]] has been examined as a test of Earth geometry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZGNx8SBPVA Why Polaris Angle Matches Latitude (And Not Flat Earth Geometry)] compares observed Polaris angles with an observer&#039;s latitude and with the predictions of competing Earth models.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Apparent size of the Sun ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flat Earth discussions sometimes claim that the Sun should become noticeably larger or smaller as its distance from an observer changes throughout the day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeP0U_Hn2X4 Does the Sun Change Size During the Day? I Measured It in Pixels] uses repeated photographs and pixel measurements to test whether the Sun&#039;s apparent diameter changes substantially while crossing the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== ISS lunar transit ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker has documented the process of locating, predicting, preparing for, and photographing an [[International Space Station]] transit across the Moon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c9x13mCW8M How to Photograph an ISS Lunar Transit (Step-by-Step Guide)] explains the equipment, timing, positioning, camera settings, and short observation window involved in recording a predicted transit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Solar eclipses ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Solar-eclipse content has examined the apparent sizes and relative positions of the Sun and Moon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPgJNdzvK6M Total vs Annular vs Partial Solar Eclipses Explained (2026)] explains how the apparent angular sizes and alignment of the Sun and Moon determine whether an eclipse is total, annular, or partial.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Maps and commercial flights ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker has examined whether proposed Flat Earth maps are consistent with measurable distances, commercial flight routes, and real travel times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDHM3dikcO8 Flat Earth Map DESTROYED by Real Flights Anyone Can Book] compares actual flight routes and scheduled travel times with the distances implied by a commonly presented Flat Earth map.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Historical map claims ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historical-source investigations have examined maps and illustrations circulated online as supposed evidence of earlier knowledge of a Flat Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_7N3F4cjwo The Truth Behind the “Nazi Flat Earth Map”] traces the origin and context of an image described online as a secret German or Nazi-era Flat Earth map.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Approach ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker&#039;s stated approach emphasizes positive, observable, repeatable, and measurable evidence. Explanations are evaluated by asking:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Does the explanation make a specific prediction?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Can that prediction be measured or observed?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Does the result agree with the prediction?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Can the result be reproduced?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Does the explanation account for related observations consistently?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Does it provide a quantitative model rather than only a possible verbal explanation?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Content frequently distinguishes between proposing a possible explanation for an observation and demonstrating that the explanation quantitatively agrees with the observation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Debunker also emphasizes the importance of scale. An experiment may be incapable of detecting a real effect if its distance, duration, instrument resolution, or expected change is too small.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When relevant, results are compared with predictions made before the experiment. Differences between predicted and measured results, possible experimental errors, instrument limitations, and alternative explanations are discussed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Khaos&#039;&#039;&#039; is an [[:Category:American flerfs|American]] flat Earther from Florida who is active on TikTok. He is known for rambling explanations, claiming that Earth is a “stator motor,” and demonstrating persistent confusion about compasses, cardinal directions, maps, orientation, and geographic distances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Known accounts ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://www.tiktok.com/@olam.shel.ani @olam.shel.ani]—TikTok&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Flat Earth claims ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Earth is a stator motor ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khaos claims that Earth functions as a &#039;&#039;&#039;stator motor&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A stator is the stationary component of an electric motor or generator. It generally interacts with a moving rotor through magnetic fields to produce or receive rotational motion. Merely comparing Earth to a stator does not provide a working physical model.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khaos has not supplied a coherent explanation identifying:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* what functions as the rotor;&lt;br /&gt;
* where the required current and magnetic fields originate;&lt;br /&gt;
* how the proposed system causes weight or downward acceleration;&lt;br /&gt;
* how the model explains astronomical observations;&lt;br /&gt;
* what measurable predictions distinguish it from conventional physics; or&lt;br /&gt;
* how the proposed mechanism can be experimentally tested.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The phrase “stator motor” therefore functions more as technical-sounding terminology than as a complete explanation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Confusion about compasses and directions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khaos regularly attempts to discuss navigation while demonstrating confusion about compasses, cardinal directions, map orientation, and the geographic relationships between locations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A compass indicates direction relative to the local magnetic field. It does not independently supply a map, determine distances between continents, or validate a flat-Earth layout.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding north, south, east, and west also requires maintaining a consistent orientation. Reversing or rotating landmasses changes geographic relationships and makes the resulting map unusable for real navigation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Homemade flat-Earth map ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khaos attempted to design his own flat-Earth map.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the version he presented, approximately half of the continents were mirrored from east to west. Several landmasses were also rotated incorrectly, placed in the wrong orientation, or separated by unrealistic distances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A usable world map must preserve enough geographic relationships to predict real routes, directions, distances, time zones, sunrise and sunset directions, and travel times. Khaos&#039;s map did not accomplish this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mirroring a continent east-to-west reverses its geography. Locations that should be east of one another become west of one another, coastlines face the wrong direction, and navigation between known locations no longer works.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The map also failed to provide a consistent scale capable of matching real-world distances between continents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Approach to evidence ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khaos commonly substitutes long, wandering explanations for a clear model with defined terms and testable predictions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His arguments frequently use technical words such as “stator” without explaining how the relevant mechanism operates or how it connects to the observation being discussed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When maps, directions, or compasses are involved, he often introduces additional confusion rather than presenting a layout that can be checked against real navigation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Other info ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Claims Earth functions as a “stator motor.”&lt;br /&gt;
* Has not identified a coherent rotor, power source, or testable mechanism for the proposed system.&lt;br /&gt;
* Struggles with compass directions and map orientation.&lt;br /&gt;
* Attempted to create a flat-Earth map containing mirrored, rotated, misplaced, and incorrectly spaced continents.&lt;br /&gt;
* Is not a religious flat Earther.&lt;br /&gt;
* Is not known to promote antisemitic claims.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gean Techman&#039;&#039;&#039;, whose real name is &#039;&#039;&#039;Garrett Morgan&#039;&#039;&#039;, is an [[:Category:American flerfs|American]] flat Earther from Detroit, Michigan, who is primarily active on TikTok.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is known for claiming that gravity is fake, promoting electrostatics and electromagnetism as replacements for gravity, repeating that the “8 inches per mile squared” approximation has been debunked, and relying on attention-grabbing headlines without adequately reading or addressing the underlying source.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although Gean frequently argues against gravity and globe-Earth measurements, he often avoids providing a complete flat-Earth model that explains the same observations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Known accounts ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://www.tiktok.com/@geantechman.fe7 @geantechman.fe7]—TikTok&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Flat Earth claims ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Gravity is fake ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gean Techman repeatedly claims that gravity is fake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When asked what causes objects to accelerate downward, he commonly appeals to electrostatics or electromagnetism. However, he has not presented a complete quantitative model showing how either mechanism produces the observed properties associated with gravity, including:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approximately equal downward acceleration for materials with very different electromagnetic properties;&lt;br /&gt;
* predictable changes in weight with altitude;&lt;br /&gt;
* planetary and satellite orbits;&lt;br /&gt;
* ocean tides;&lt;br /&gt;
* gravitational attraction between laboratory masses; and&lt;br /&gt;
* the measured relationship between mass, distance, and acceleration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simply naming electromagnetism does not explain how the proposed mechanism works or demonstrate that it reproduces gravitational observations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Electrostatics and electromagnetism ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When direct discussion of Earth&#039;s shape becomes difficult, Gean frequently shifts the subject toward claims that weight and downward acceleration are caused by electrostatics or electromagnetism.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This change of subject allows him to challenge gravity without committing to a detailed flat-Earth explanation. He generally does not provide measurable predictions that would distinguish his proposed electromagnetic mechanism from gravity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ordinary objects fall regardless of whether they are magnetic, electrically charged, electrically neutral, conductive, or insulating. Any electromagnetic replacement for gravity would need to explain this consistently and quantitatively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== “Eight inches per mile squared has been debunked” ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gean repeatedly states that the commonly quoted curvature approximation of &#039;&#039;&#039;eight inches per mile squared&#039;&#039;&#039; has been falsified or debunked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The expression is an approximation for the geometric drop away from a tangent over relatively short distances. It is not the correct formula for every observer-and-target visibility calculation, and it does not by itself account for observer height, target height, atmospheric refraction, terrain, waves, or perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pointing out that the approximation has limitations does not disprove Earth&#039;s curvature. More precise spherical geometry can be used when the approximation is insufficient.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gean commonly treats criticism of the approximation as though it were evidence against the globe itself, without presenting a flat-Earth model that produces more accurate predictions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Misuse of the inverse-square law ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gean has attempted to use the inverse-square law in arguments against gravity and the globe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His treatment of the law has been criticized for confusing how a force changes with distance with whether the force exists at all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A response titled [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNLrpysdcC0 &#039;&#039;flat earth nonsense 91: Gean Techman&#039;s misuse of the inverse square law&#039;&#039;] addresses this argument.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Exodus Effect ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gean promotes the so-called &#039;&#039;&#039;Exodus Effect&#039;&#039;&#039;, a proposed propellantless propulsion system that claims to generate thrust through an imbalance of electrostatic pressure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The source associated with the claim is a patent application for a system described as generating forces through asymmetrical electrostatic pressure. The application claims that the inventors repeatedly observed forces in their own laboratory configurations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A patent application is not the same as independent experimental verification. Patents may describe proposed mechanisms and inventor-reported results without establishing that the claims have been independently replicated, peer reviewed, or accepted by the scientific community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Exodus Effect has not been independently verified, and no meaningful public updates demonstrating successful independent replication have appeared in approximately two years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nevertheless, Gean presents the proposal as though its existence undermines gravity or establishes electrostatics as the cause of weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Approach to sources ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gean frequently presents headlines, abstracts, patent claims, or short excerpts as decisive evidence without demonstrating that he has read or understood the complete source.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has a recurring habit of repeating the most dramatic wording associated with an article while ignoring qualifications, limitations, contrary findings, or the difference between a proposed hypothesis and a verified result.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This pattern is especially apparent when he discusses gravity, electrostatic propulsion, the inverse-square law, and Earth-curvature measurements.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Critics have described his presentation style as arrogant because he expresses high confidence in sources that he appears unable or unwilling to explain beyond their headline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Debate behavior ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When confronted by someone prepared to challenge his flat-Earth claims directly, Gean often shifts the discussion away from Earth&#039;s shape and toward broader claims that gravity is fake or that weight is caused by electrostatics and electromagnetism.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also repeats that the “8 inches per mile squared” approximation has been falsified, but frequently avoids explaining what geometric model should replace the globe or how his alternative predicts observations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Critics have interpreted this pattern as evasive and have questioned whether Gean sincerely believes in flat Earth or primarily uses the controversy for attention. However, he has not publicly admitted that his flat-Earth persona is insincere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Holocaust denial and antisemitism ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gean Techman has been accused by members of the online debate community of promoting Holocaust-denial and Holocaust-minimization claims, including disputing the historically documented number of Jewish victims murdered during the Holocaust.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has also reportedly promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories claiming that Jewish people control major institutions or world affairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These are established forms of Holocaust-denial and antisemitic rhetoric. However, no direct recording, post, or timestamp is currently included in this section, so specific statements still require primary-source documentation.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gean Techman&#039;&#039;&#039;, whose real name is &#039;&#039;&#039;Garrett Morgan&#039;&#039;&#039;, is an [[:Category:American flerfs|American]] flat Earther from Detroit, Michigan, who is primarily active on TikTok.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is known for claiming that gravity is fake, promoting electrostatics and electromagnetism as replacements for gravity, repeating that the “8 inches per mile squared” approximation has been debunked, and relying on attention-grabbing headlines without adequately reading or addressing the underlying source.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although Gean frequently argues against gravity and globe-Earth measurements, he often avoids providing a complete flat-Earth model that explains the same observations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Known accounts ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://www.tiktok.com/@geantechman.fe7 @geantechman.fe7]—TikTok&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Flat Earth claims ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Gravity is fake ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gean Techman repeatedly claims that gravity is fake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When asked what causes objects to accelerate downward, he commonly appeals to electrostatics or electromagnetism. However, he has not presented a complete quantitative model showing how either mechanism produces the observed properties associated with gravity, including:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approximately equal downward acceleration for materials with very different electromagnetic properties;&lt;br /&gt;
* predictable changes in weight with altitude;&lt;br /&gt;
* planetary and satellite orbits;&lt;br /&gt;
* ocean tides;&lt;br /&gt;
* gravitational attraction between laboratory masses; and&lt;br /&gt;
* the measured relationship between mass, distance, and acceleration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simply naming electromagnetism does not explain how the proposed mechanism works or demonstrate that it reproduces gravitational observations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Electrostatics and electromagnetism ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When direct discussion of Earth&#039;s shape becomes difficult, Gean frequently shifts the subject toward claims that weight and downward acceleration are caused by electrostatics or electromagnetism.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This change of subject allows him to challenge gravity without committing to a detailed flat-Earth explanation. He generally does not provide measurable predictions that would distinguish his proposed electromagnetic mechanism from gravity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ordinary objects fall regardless of whether they are magnetic, electrically charged, electrically neutral, conductive, or insulating. Any electromagnetic replacement for gravity would need to explain this consistently and quantitatively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== “Eight inches per mile squared has been debunked” ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gean repeatedly states that the commonly quoted curvature approximation of &#039;&#039;&#039;eight inches per mile squared&#039;&#039;&#039; has been falsified or debunked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The expression is an approximation for the geometric drop away from a tangent over relatively short distances. It is not the correct formula for every observer-and-target visibility calculation, and it does not by itself account for observer height, target height, atmospheric refraction, terrain, waves, or perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pointing out that the approximation has limitations does not disprove Earth&#039;s curvature. More precise spherical geometry can be used when the approximation is insufficient.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gean commonly treats criticism of the approximation as though it were evidence against the globe itself, without presenting a flat-Earth model that produces more accurate predictions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Misuse of the inverse-square law ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gean has attempted to use the inverse-square law in arguments against gravity and the globe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His treatment of the law has been criticized for confusing how a force changes with distance with whether the force exists at all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A response titled [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNLrpysdcC0 &amp;quot;flat earth nonsense 91: Gean Techman&#039;s misuse of the inverse square law&amp;quot;] addresses this argument.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Exodus Effect ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gean promotes the so-called &#039;&#039;&#039;Exodus Effect&#039;&#039;&#039;, a proposed propellantless propulsion system that claims to generate thrust through an imbalance of electrostatic pressure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The source associated with the claim is a patent application for a system described as generating forces through asymmetrical electrostatic pressure. The application claims that the inventors repeatedly observed forces in their own laboratory configurations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A patent application is not the same as independent experimental verification. Patents may describe proposed mechanisms and inventor-reported results without establishing that the claims have been independently replicated, peer reviewed, or accepted by the scientific community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Exodus Effect has not been independently verified, and no meaningful public updates demonstrating successful independent replication have appeared in approximately two years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nevertheless, Gean presents the proposal as though its existence undermines gravity or establishes electrostatics as the cause of weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Approach to sources ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gean frequently presents headlines, abstracts, patent claims, or short excerpts as decisive evidence without demonstrating that he has read or understood the complete source.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has a recurring habit of repeating the most dramatic wording associated with an article while ignoring qualifications, limitations, contrary findings, or the difference between a proposed hypothesis and a verified result.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This pattern is especially apparent when he discusses gravity, electrostatic propulsion, the inverse-square law, and Earth-curvature measurements.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Critics have described his presentation style as arrogant because he expresses high confidence in sources that he appears unable or unwilling to explain beyond their headline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Debate behavior ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When confronted by someone prepared to challenge his flat-Earth claims directly, Gean often shifts the discussion away from Earth&#039;s shape and toward broader claims that gravity is fake or that weight is caused by electrostatics and electromagnetism.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also repeats that the “8 inches per mile squared” approximation has been falsified, but frequently avoids explaining what geometric model should replace the globe or how his alternative predicts observations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Critics have interpreted this pattern as evasive and have questioned whether Gean sincerely believes in flat Earth or primarily uses the controversy for attention. However, he has not publicly admitted that his flat-Earth persona is insincere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Holocaust denial and antisemitism ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gean Techman has been accused by members of the online debate community of promoting Holocaust-denial and Holocaust-minimization claims, including disputing the historically documented number of Jewish victims murdered during the Holocaust.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has also reportedly promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories claiming that Jewish people control major institutions or world affairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These are established forms of Holocaust-denial and antisemitic rhetoric. However, no direct recording, post, or timestamp is currently included in this section, so specific statements still require primary-source documentation.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Luke&#039;&#039;&#039;, known online as &#039;&#039;&#039;Luke Flatwalker&#039;&#039;&#039;, is an [[:Category:American flerfs|American]] flat Earther active on TikTok. He is known for presenting weak arguments about flight and gravity, relying heavily on moderation controls during livestreams, and muting or removing critics before they can fully respond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Flat Earth claims ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The 2D flight-simulator argument ===&lt;br /&gt;
Luke created and presented a two-dimensional, side-scrolling flight simulation as an argument against globe-Earth flight dynamics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The simulation did not accurately reproduce real aircraft behavior, three-dimensional navigation, changing local horizontal, aerodynamic forces, instrumentation, or the way aircraft follow curved paths around Earth. Instead, it reduced flight to a simplified side-view animation and treated the behavior of that animation as though it demonstrated how real aircraft should behave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Luke presented the simulator on multiple occasions. After critics repeatedly pointed out that the program did not model real-world flight dynamics, he apparently stopped using it as a major argument.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A simplified animation can only demonstrate the assumptions programmed into it. It cannot independently prove those assumptions are correct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Asking about gravity, then muting the answer ===&lt;br /&gt;
Luke has been known to ask critics how gravity works and then mute or remove them before they can finish answering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This allows him to present the absence of an immediate explanation as though no explanation exists, even though the person being questioned has been prevented from giving one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tactic has earned him several of his nicknames, including &#039;&#039;&#039;Mute Flatwalker&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mute Thumbwalker&#039;&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;&#039;Mute and Boot Luke&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Moderation behavior ==&lt;br /&gt;
Luke is commonly described as a keyboard warrior who is considerably more confrontational when he has moderator controls available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He frequently relies on muting, blocking, or removing participants rather than allowing disagreements to continue. Critics have joked that his greatest source of authority is the moderator button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nickname &#039;&#039;&#039;Luke Thumbtalker&#039;&#039;&#039; refers to his tendency to argue from the comments or moderation panel rather than through a sustained discussion in which the other participant is allowed to respond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable incidents ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Attempted debate with Tiffany ===&lt;br /&gt;
During an attempted livestream debate with Tiffany, Luke answered one of her questions. When Tiffany responded with “hold on a second,” Luke became upset and left before the exchange could continue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No recording or link is currently included for this incident.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Approach to evidence ==&lt;br /&gt;
Luke&#039;s arguments frequently depend on oversimplified examples that do not accurately represent the systems being discussed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His flight-simulator argument attempted to replace real aviation, geometry, and physics with a two-dimensional side-scrolling model. When the model was challenged, he did not demonstrate that it matched real aircraft behavior.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His moderation style also prevents claims from being examined properly. Asking a question and then muting the person answering does not establish that the question cannot be answered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Other info ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Luke Thumbtalker&#039;&#039;&#039; for arguing primarily through comments and moderator controls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Mute Flatwalker&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;Mute Thumbwalker&#039;&#039;&#039; for muting critics during discussions.&lt;br /&gt;
* Has used a two-dimensional flight simulator as supposed evidence against globe-Earth flight.&lt;br /&gt;
* Apparently stopped presenting the simulator after its limitations were repeatedly explained.&lt;br /&gt;
* Has asked critics to explain gravity and then muted them before they could complete the explanation.&lt;br /&gt;
* Has some of the weakest arguments in the flat-Earth community, which is not a particularly competitive category.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Dr.PhLaTtruth&#039;&#039;&#039;, also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Dr. Davis-Besse&#039;&#039;&#039;, is an [[:Category:American flerfs|American]] flat Earther active on TikTok. He is known for making extreme claims about flat-Earth belief, misunderstanding basic physics, and treating an observation in which a large portion of a distant cooling tower is hidden as evidence against Earth curvature.&lt;br /&gt;

== Flat Earth claims ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Flat Earth knowledge can cure cancer ===&lt;br /&gt;
Dr.PhLaTtruth has claimed that knowing the “flat Earth truth” can cure cancer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No evidence has been provided that adopting a belief about the shape of Earth can prevent, treat, or cure cancer. Flat-Earth belief is not a medical treatment and should not be substituted for evidence-based medical care.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sound travels faster than light ===&lt;br /&gt;
Dr.PhLaTtruth has claimed that sound travels faster than light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is incorrect. In air, sound travels at roughly 343 metres per second under ordinary conditions, while light travels at approximately 299,792,458 metres per second in a vacuum. Light is therefore vastly faster than sound.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The delay between seeing lightning and hearing thunder is an everyday demonstration of this difference.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Davis-Besse cooling-tower observation ===&lt;br /&gt;
Dr.PhLaTtruth uses a photograph of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station taken from more than 20 miles away as supposed evidence for a flat Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The observation shows the upper portion of a large cooling tower while hundreds of feet of its lower structure are hidden beyond the horizon. Rather than contradicting Earth curvature, the missing lower portion is the feature that requires explanation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A distant object being visible does not mean the entire object should be visible. The relevant question is how much of the structure is hidden and whether that amount is consistent with the observer height, target height, distance, atmospheric refraction, and Earth curvature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the lower section of the tower being obscured, Dr.PhLaTtruth treats the visibility of its upper section as proof that Earth is flat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Approach to evidence ==&lt;br /&gt;
Dr.PhLaTtruth regularly presents confident conclusions without supplying measurements, calculations, controlled tests, or supporting evidence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His Davis-Besse argument focuses on the portion of the cooling tower that remains visible while ignoring the substantial portion hidden from view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also makes claims involving medicine and physics without demonstrating the necessary expertise or evidence to support them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Other info ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nicknamed &#039;&#039;&#039;Dr. Davis-Besse&#039;&#039;&#039; because of his repeated reliance on the distant cooling-tower image.&lt;br /&gt;
* Frequently confuses left and right while discussing images or directions.&lt;br /&gt;
* Has claimed that sound travels faster than light.&lt;br /&gt;
* Has claimed that learning the flat-Earth “truth” can cure cancer.&lt;br /&gt;
* Apparently considers a partially hidden object to be evidence that nothing is hidden by curvature.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Katie&#039;&#039;&#039;, known online as &#039;&#039;&#039;Katie Didn&#039;t&#039;&#039;&#039;, is an [[:Category:American flerfs|American]] flat Earther active primarily on TikTok. She is best known for attributing weight and the downward motion of objects to magnetism, despite apparently having performed no experiments to test the claim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Flat Earth claims ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Weight is caused by magnetism ===&lt;br /&gt;
Katie claims that weight, and the general downward bias observed when objects are dropped, is caused by magnetism or electromagnetism.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She has not presented an experiment demonstrating that ordinary nonmagnetic objects are pulled downward by a magnetic force, nor has she apparently tested the claim using even a basic magnet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The claim also creates immediate problems. Many objects that have weight are not strongly magnetic, and magnets do not pull every material in the same direction with the same acceleration. Nevertheless, Katie appears to accept magnetism as an explanation for weight without demonstrating a mechanism or producing experimental evidence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Approach to evidence ==&lt;br /&gt;
Katie is known for demanding that conventional scientific explanations be personally proven while accepting selected alternative explanations without applying the same standard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She appears willing to accept scientific concepts that can be adapted to support a flat-Earth argument, such as electromagnetism, while rejecting other established scientific conclusions without conducting tests of her own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite repeatedly discussing experimentation and evidence, she has not publicly demonstrated a test of any of her major flat-Earth claims.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Other info ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometimes called &#039;&#039;&#039;Katie Doesn&#039;t (Do Anything)&#039;&#039;&#039;, referencing her lack of experimentation.&lt;br /&gt;
* Frequently invokes magnetism or electromagnetism as an explanation without providing a measurable model.&lt;br /&gt;
* Has not provided evidence showing how magnetism would produce the uniform downward acceleration normally attributed to gravity.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Luke&#039;&#039;&#039;, known online as &#039;&#039;&#039;Luke Flatwalker&#039;&#039;&#039;, is an [[:Category:American flerfs|American]] flat Earther active on TikTok. He is known for presenting weak arguments about flight and gravity, relying heavily on moderation controls during livestreams, and muting or removing critics before they can fully respond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Known accounts ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Flat Earth claims ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The 2D flight-simulator argument ===&lt;br /&gt;
Luke created and presented a two-dimensional, side-scrolling flight simulation as an argument against globe-Earth flight dynamics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The simulation did not accurately reproduce real aircraft behavior, three-dimensional navigation, changing local horizontal, aerodynamic forces, instrumentation, or the way aircraft follow curved paths around Earth. Instead, it reduced flight to a simplified side-view animation and treated the behavior of that animation as though it demonstrated how real aircraft should behave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Luke presented the simulator on multiple occasions. After critics repeatedly pointed out that the program did not model real-world flight dynamics, he apparently stopped using it as a major argument.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A simplified animation can only demonstrate the assumptions programmed into it. It cannot independently prove those assumptions are correct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Asking about gravity, then muting the answer ===&lt;br /&gt;
Luke has been known to ask critics how gravity works and then mute or remove them before they can finish answering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This allows him to present the absence of an immediate explanation as though no explanation exists, even though the person being questioned has been prevented from giving one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tactic has earned him several of his nicknames, including &#039;&#039;&#039;Mute Flatwalker&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mute Thumbwalker&#039;&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;&#039;Mute and Boot Luke&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Moderation behavior ==&lt;br /&gt;
Luke is commonly described as a keyboard warrior who is considerably more confrontational when he has moderator controls available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He frequently relies on muting, blocking, or removing participants rather than allowing disagreements to continue. Critics have joked that his greatest source of authority is the moderator button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nickname &#039;&#039;&#039;Luke Thumbtalker&#039;&#039;&#039; refers to his tendency to argue from the comments or moderation panel rather than through a sustained discussion in which the other participant is allowed to respond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable incidents ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Attempted debate with Tiffany ===&lt;br /&gt;
During an attempted livestream debate with Tiffany, Luke answered one of her questions. When Tiffany responded with “hold on a second,” Luke became upset and left before the exchange could continue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No recording or link is currently included for this incident.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Approach to evidence ==&lt;br /&gt;
Luke&#039;s arguments frequently depend on oversimplified examples that do not accurately represent the systems being discussed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His flight-simulator argument attempted to replace real aviation, geometry, and physics with a two-dimensional side-scrolling model. When the model was challenged, he did not demonstrate that it matched real aircraft behavior.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His moderation style also prevents claims from being examined properly. Asking a question and then muting the person answering does not establish that the question cannot be answered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Other info ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Luke Thumbtalker&#039;&#039;&#039; for arguing primarily through comments and moderator controls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Mute Flatwalker&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;Mute Thumbwalker&#039;&#039;&#039; for muting critics during discussions.&lt;br /&gt;
* Has used a two-dimensional flight simulator as supposed evidence against globe-Earth flight.&lt;br /&gt;
* Apparently stopped presenting the simulator after its limitations were repeatedly explained.&lt;br /&gt;
* Has asked critics to explain gravity and then muted them before they could complete the explanation.&lt;br /&gt;
* Has some of the weakest arguments in the flat-Earth community, which is not a particularly competitive category.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Dr.PhLaTtruth&#039;&#039;&#039;, also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Dr. Davis-Besse&#039;&#039;&#039;, is an [[:Category:American flerfs|American]] flat Earther active on TikTok. He is known for making extreme claims about flat-Earth belief, misunderstanding basic physics, and treating an observation in which a large portion of a distant cooling tower is hidden as evidence against Earth curvature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Known accounts ==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Flat Earth claims ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Flat Earth knowledge can cure cancer ===&lt;br /&gt;
Dr.PhLaTtruth has claimed that knowing the “flat Earth truth” can cure cancer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No evidence has been provided that adopting a belief about the shape of Earth can prevent, treat, or cure cancer. Flat-Earth belief is not a medical treatment and should not be substituted for evidence-based medical care.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sound travels faster than light ===&lt;br /&gt;
Dr.PhLaTtruth has claimed that sound travels faster than light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is incorrect. In air, sound travels at roughly 343 metres per second under ordinary conditions, while light travels at approximately 299,792,458 metres per second in a vacuum. Light is therefore vastly faster than sound.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The delay between seeing lightning and hearing thunder is an everyday demonstration of this difference.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Davis-Besse cooling-tower observation ===&lt;br /&gt;
Dr.PhLaTtruth uses a photograph of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station taken from more than 20 miles away as supposed evidence for a flat Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The observation shows the upper portion of a large cooling tower while hundreds of feet of its lower structure are hidden beyond the horizon. Rather than contradicting Earth curvature, the missing lower portion is the feature that requires explanation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A distant object being visible does not mean the entire object should be visible. The relevant question is how much of the structure is hidden and whether that amount is consistent with the observer height, target height, distance, atmospheric refraction, and Earth curvature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the lower section of the tower being obscured, Dr.PhLaTtruth treats the visibility of its upper section as proof that Earth is flat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Approach to evidence ==&lt;br /&gt;
Dr.PhLaTtruth regularly presents confident conclusions without supplying measurements, calculations, controlled tests, or supporting evidence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His Davis-Besse argument focuses on the portion of the cooling tower that remains visible while ignoring the substantial portion hidden from view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also makes claims involving medicine and physics without demonstrating the necessary expertise or evidence to support them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Other info ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nicknamed &#039;&#039;&#039;Dr. Davis-Besse&#039;&#039;&#039; because of his repeated reliance on the distant cooling-tower image.&lt;br /&gt;
* Frequently confuses left and right while discussing images or directions.&lt;br /&gt;
* Has claimed that sound travels faster than light.&lt;br /&gt;
* Has claimed that learning the flat-Earth “truth” can cure cancer.&lt;br /&gt;
* Apparently considers a partially hidden object to be evidence that nothing is hidden by curvature.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Flat Earth claims ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Weight is caused by magnetism ===&lt;br /&gt;
Katie claims that weight, and the general downward bias observed when objects are dropped, is caused by magnetism or electromagnetism.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She has not presented an experiment demonstrating that ordinary nonmagnetic objects are pulled downward by a magnetic force, nor has she apparently tested the claim using even a basic magnet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The claim also creates immediate problems. Many objects that have weight are not strongly magnetic, and magnets do not pull every material in the same direction with the same acceleration. Nevertheless, Katie appears to accept magnetism as an explanation for weight without demonstrating a mechanism or producing experimental evidence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Approach to evidence ==&lt;br /&gt;
Katie is known for demanding that conventional scientific explanations be personally proven while accepting selected alternative explanations without applying the same standard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She appears willing to accept scientific concepts that can be adapted to support a flat-Earth argument, such as electromagnetism, while rejecting other established scientific conclusions without conducting tests of her own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite repeatedly discussing experimentation and evidence, she has not publicly demonstrated a test of any of her major flat-Earth claims.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* Sometimes called &#039;&#039;&#039;Katie Doesn&#039;t (Do Anything)&#039;&#039;&#039;, referencing her lack of experimentation.&lt;br /&gt;
* Frequently invokes magnetism or electromagnetism as an explanation without providing a measurable model.&lt;br /&gt;
* Has not provided evidence showing how magnetism would produce the uniform downward acceleration normally attributed to gravity.&lt;br /&gt;
