Conspiracy theorist Bob Knodel was heard admitting in a Netflix documentary with a fellow Flat Earther that he had splashed out $20,000 for the gyroscope experiment where it showed the Earth is round
A Flat Earther proved that we live on a globe after his experiment costing $20,000 went badly wrong for him.
Conspiracy theorist Bob Knodel has a YouTube channel that focuses on the wild claim that the Earth is actually flat and it is a belief that is surprisingly gathering a growing community of believers.
In an attempt to prove we live on a flat Earth he spent $20,000 on a laser gyroscope that he expected would show that the planet does not rotate.
Mr Knodel was carrying out the DIY experiment for the Netflix documentary Behind the Curve which showed the Earth indeed is round.
But using a gyroscope he found that there was a “drift” that was picked up each hour.
He said: “What we found is, when we turned on that gyroscope, we found that we were picking up a drift. A 15-degree per hour drift."
Mr Knodel accepted that this is exactly what would be expected from a rotating globe and not what he was wanting at all.
“Now, obviously we were taken aback by that, wow, that's kind of a problem," he continued. “We obviously were not willing to accept that, and so we started looking for ways to disprove it was actually registering the motion of the Earth.”
But despite making refinements of the gyroscope it continually showed that the Earth is round. He then started talking to a fellow Flat Earther at a Denver meeting where he said that they had to persist to try and prove their argument somehow and emphasised that he had spent $20,000 on the gyroscope experiment.

I always see it the other way around. The ones who believe we live on a ball get their ass handed to them
I guess he was never in an airplane
He had to have been since he spent at least 4 years in, I had all the time in the world to talk to him and visit his legal pot-growing house, and I never could figure out what made his flat-earth clock, tick.
If the earth was flat, it would either be daytime everywhere in the world or nighttime everywhere in the world. Instead you have situations where it is daytime in Europe while night in the U.S. That is impossible on a flat earth. And the more flat earthers try to explain that away through invented tricks, the more holes get opened up in their model. Nothing is consistently explained by a flat earth.

I was always convinced the Flat Earth stuff was a Deep State disinformation/mind control experiment.
Now they have moved on to convincing the gullible that mutilating of human bodies and children is good for everyone.
Ask a flat-earth believer where the edge of the Earth is. If it’s flat, it has to have an edge.
Go visit the edge and look over it.
Wait till you talk to one, they have an answer for everything and are unshakable.
Like this article, they are sincerely shocked when an obvious experiment doesn’t work out for them.
Or not mutilating, the statement that you just became a woman is all the proof that some need to believe that you are now a woman, the authorities will actually switch you to a woman’s prison with the penis and all, just on the statement.
A LASER ring gyro measures the interference pattern between two LASER beams being guided by circular optical fibers in opposite directions. Rotational motion induces a phase shift between the two beams. Depending on size and required precision the cost can be tens of dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. It uses very precise electro-optical sensors to measure that interference. Last time I checked (about 15 years ago), the SDN500 Inertial Navigation System cost in the neighborhood of $30,000.

Is that a real poncho? I mean is that a Mexican poncho or a Walmart poncho? Hmm, no foolin’. Great Googly Moogly!

Why is everything else in space round except earth? Lol. Moon, planets, stars etc
What do you think of this?
