Mick
Mick is a flat earther from Brisbane and a friend of Critical Think (CT). Mick was interested in The Final Experiment and had several discussions with CT about it. He is not known as a content creator or as an active person on social media. He is genuinely friendly and has known CT for some time; he had visited CT in person and joined some of CT's YouTube streams. He is one of two flat earthers that TFE participants planned to call during the trip; the other being Steve from England. During CT's livestream from Union Glacier he accepted the 24 hour sun in Antarctica.
Flat Earth Beliefs before TFE
CT recorded a discussion on his channel before traveling to Union Glacier. During the discussion Mick stated several beliefs:
- Believes latitude and longitude lines are theoretical, and not science
- Skeptical of GPS and the satellites used for them; believes GPS is deceptive
- Satellites are not in orbit
- NASA fakes everything; moon landings were faked
- Flight tracker apps are deceptive
- Planes don't work on a globe
- Water doesn't curve, it is always flat and level; oceans do not have curving water
- Curved is not level
- Crepuscular rays prove a small and local sun
- The sun is not 93 million miles away
- Gravity is not proven
- The AE map is accurate
- There may be a possible second sun in Union Glacier
- The sun will set in Union Glacier during TFE
Livestream during TFE
CT hosted a livestream on his youtube channel from the Halfway point camp at Union Glacier. The livestream was started shortly after Will's midnight livestream has ended. CT interacted with many people in his livestream chat and answered their questions. In addition many in the livestream chat were telling CT about Jonathan Mariande's jacket and the chroma key effect.
Mick joined the livestream and said it was approximately 2pm in Brisbane, which corroborated that it was about 1am in Union Glacier. The sun could be seen from his location in Brisbane and he confirmed it was in a western direction. Both Mick and CT panned their respected cameras to show the sun in the sky at both locations during the livestream, which matched globe predictions.
Mick conceded he was wrong and accepted the 24 hour sun in Antarctica. He also stated the AE / Gleason's map has been falsified.
Location
Mick lives in Brisbane which is on the east coast of Australia.
Brisbane is approximately located at 27° S 153° E, which is 13 hours ahead of Union Glacier. On Saturday, December 14, 2024 at 04:00:00 UTC the Sun was at its zenith at Latitude: 23° 14' South, Longitude: 118° 41' East. [1] This means during CT's livestream from Union Glacier the subsolar point would have been in a NW direction from Brisbane.
