Flat Earth claims
There shouldn't be land at the equator
Surya thinks the rotation of Earth should cause the ocean to flood any land at the equator.[1]
Planes would need to dip their nose to follow the curvature of Earth
Surya claims that planes would need to constantly dip their nose down if the Earth was actually curved. He shows a screenshot of ChatGPT which uses the 8 inches per mile squared formula to find that pilots would need to descend at 460 feet per minute to keep up with Earth's curvature.[2]
Despite relying on AI to perform basic arithmetic for him, the answer is still somehow wrong. Assuming the plane flies at 8.3 miles per minute, the actual answer comes out to 8 × 8.3^2 = 551 inches = 46 feet per minute (so he was an order of magnitude off). However, this figure is still meaningless because its not referring to altitude, its referring to drop with respect to a tangent.
He shows a timelapse where a bubble level onboard a flight remains level. He thinks that the bubble should move as the plane performs "nose down corrections".
Surya fails to understand basic flight dynamics. As long as lift and weight are balanced, a plane will fly level and follow the curvature of Earth. This involves ensuring correct elevator trim and airspeed.
Additionally, he asserts that all pilots secretly know the earth is Flat.
The sun is the same height as the clouds
He thinks that crepuscular sun rays are not possible if the sun is really far away, so he concludes that the sun must be "right in the clouds".[3]
The sun doesn't set at the north pole
Surya claims the sun never sets at the north pole, and uses a timelapse from The Final Experiment as evidence, not realising the footage was taken in Antarctica. He asserts that this is evidence of flat Earth. While pointing to an animation perfectly explaining how the northern 24 hour sun works on a globe, he says "that makes zero sense to anyone who can think logically, that's not vaccinated".[4]
In reality, the sun doesn't set at the north pole for six months a year, and it is then dark for the following six months. The south pole experiences the same thing but at opposite times of the year, and this is something Surya cannot explain.
Other claims
2025 and multiples of 9 are equal to 9
Surya made a post about the September 2025 lunar eclipse in which he exposes himself as a believer in numerology[5]:
2025 in numerology equals the number 9... The number 9 is the number of completion, the end of cycles, and the rise into a higher frequency... 9 is the Mecca. Every time you double 9 it always equals 9: 9, 18, 27, 36, always equals 9.
Perpetual motion machines are real and a source of unlimited energy
In a reel, Surya shows a video of a "free energy device that is powered by magnets", which is obviously a motor-powered device made to look like a perpetual motion machine. He claims that crop circles are actually blueprints left by "beings" for unlimited energy technology.[6]
Other info
- Adheres to the concept of flerfspective.[7]
- Was caught lying about NASA photos of Mars being taken on Devon Island, then claimed NASA deleted the photos from their website.[8]
- Believes an AI generated video of a hot air balloon reaching the "waters above".[9]
