Gean Techman, whose real name is Garrett Morgan, is an American flat Earther from Detroit, Michigan, who is primarily active on TikTok.

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.

Although Gean frequently argues against gravity and globe-Earth measurements, he often avoids providing a complete flat-Earth model that explains the same observations.

Flat Earth claims

Gravity is fake

Gean Techman repeatedly claims that gravity is fake.

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:

• approximately equal downward acceleration for materials with very different electromagnetic properties;
• predictable changes in weight with altitude;
• planetary and satellite orbits;
• ocean tides;
• gravitational attraction between laboratory masses; and
• the measured relationship between mass, distance, and acceleration.

Simply naming electromagnetism does not explain how the proposed mechanism works or demonstrate that it reproduces gravitational observations.

Electrostatics and electromagnetism

When direct discussion of Earth's shape becomes difficult, Gean frequently shifts the subject toward claims that weight and downward acceleration are caused by electrostatics or electromagnetism.

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.

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.

“Eight inches per mile squared has been debunked”

Gean repeatedly states that the commonly quoted curvature approximation of eight inches per mile squared has been falsified or debunked.

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.

Pointing out that the approximation has limitations does not disprove Earth's curvature. More precise spherical geometry can be used when the approximation is insufficient.

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.

Misuse of the inverse-square law

Gean has attempted to use the inverse-square law in arguments against gravity and the globe.

His treatment of the law has been criticized for confusing how a force changes with distance with whether the force exists at all.

A response titled flat earth nonsense 91: Gean Techman's misuse of the inverse square law addresses this argument.

The Exodus Effect

Gean promotes the so-called Exodus Effect, a proposed propellantless propulsion system that claims to generate thrust through an imbalance of electrostatic pressure.

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.

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.

The Exodus Effect has not been independently verified, and no meaningful public updates demonstrating successful independent replication have appeared in approximately two years.

Nevertheless, Gean presents the proposal as though its existence undermines gravity or establishes electrostatics as the cause of weight.

Approach to sources

Gean frequently presents headlines, abstracts, patent claims, or short excerpts as decisive evidence without demonstrating that he has read or understood the complete source.

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.

This pattern is especially apparent when he discusses gravity, electrostatic propulsion, the inverse-square law, and Earth-curvature measurements.

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.

Debate behavior

When confronted by someone prepared to challenge his flat-Earth claims directly, Gean often shifts the discussion away from Earth's shape and toward broader claims that gravity is fake or that weight is caused by electrostatics and electromagnetism.

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.

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.

Holocaust denial and antisemitism

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.

He has also reportedly promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories claiming that Jewish people control major institutions or world affairs.

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.
