After an interesting (?) conversation with a flat Earth proponent, who
tried to claim that there is no difference between reality for either a
flat Earth or a spherical one, I've decided to make a short video
exploring this conjecture.
Join me as we explore the first basic
law of shapes and discover - magically - that shapes have different
properties, and that circles and spheres are MEASURABLY different.
Who'd have thunk it?
I'm truly amazed that, in the 21st century, I have to explain something that most children learn before they even begin to talk.
It appears that geometric and mathematical illiteracy is something of a prerequisite for belief in a flat Earth.
Apologies
for the sound issues at the beginning. There also appears to be some
flickering with the blender animations. I'm not sure if this is just my
computer or a Lightworks issue. I hope to have it sorted for the next
videos. The Lightworks render seems to have a bit of a nightmare as
well, sometimes.
When I did my film degree - all those years back -
we were still using celluloid. I can change a film can with my eyes
closed and I'm a whizz in an old style editing suite, but you crazy kids
have gone all digital these days, so it's about time I had a go at it.
I've
decided to upload it as it is, because I can't be bothered with the
headache with Lightworks at the minute, as it seems to like crashing
whenever I move the mouse.
If anybody knows how to deal with these
issues - or of another program as versatile as Lightworks, but without
the annoying tendency to freeze up all the time - then I'd be glad to
hear from them.
Still, I hope you enjoy the video.
