Roundworld Conspiracy: Magic Show & Hiding God

Part 9: Magic Show


Ah, we're back to the planes. I actually enjoyed this one, because I got to learn some interesting things about modern communications technology. Sargent admits that some of his own listeners, attempting to repeat his observations from part 7, discovered that there really are non-stop long-hauls over the southern hemisphere, so of course he had to come up with a way to disprove that those flights actually happen.

Magical camouflage, obviously.

Roundworld Conspiracy: Long Haul & Creative force

Part 7: The Long Haul

Here Sargent actually does something right, from a scientific standpoint. He not only explains his real-world observations, but points his audience to where they can observe the same. Plus, air travel is much more accessible to the average citizen of Earth than space travel, so he's getting close to some testable hypotheses with this video.

Go ahead and get comfy.

Roundworld Conspiracy: Map Makers & Shell Beach

Part 3: Map Makers


In this video, Sargent talks about the layout of his Flat Earth.

He talks about an ancient Islamic scientist called Al-Biruni, who is credited with creating the Azimuthal Equidistant style of map projection. It doesn't matter if you've personally heard of him, his contributions to science were significant, and yes, even NASA recognized him when naming one of the many craters on the moon.

He's using me for what!?
