Bob Knodel was in the middle of filming for a Netflix documentary titled Behind the Curve when he realised his pricy mistake.
Seeking to disprove the mass of research led by NASA experts, he explained the particulars of the DIY experiment using a laser gyroscope.
The test involved using a camera to film through two holes, with a person standing on the other side and shining a torch back at the camera.
Mr Knodel professed that if the light can be seen with a camera, the holes in the fence and the torch all at equal differences above the ground, then he could draw a positive conclusion that the Earth is flat.
Yet, in a humorous and expensive turn of events, no light could be seen, causing Mr Knodel to mutter an awkward 'interesting' after the mistake.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Mr Knodel has since opened up about the experiment and what it means for flat Earthers across the globe.
'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,' he said.
'Now, obviously we were taken aback by that,' before admitting the results were 'kind of a problem'.
'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,' he added.
According to a report by Unilad, one Instagram user claimed: 'I bet he still won't accept it.'
Another said: 'Something oddly satisfying about watching a simple opinion dissolve in the face of non-rigorous methods lol.'
The failed experiment has since gone viral on Reddit, with people noticing that even after the experiment, Mr Knodel kept using 'mental gymnastics' to claim his conspiracy theory was still correct.
One person wrote: 'I've seen that clip many times but have yet to see his explanation as to how that happened.'

All I know is what we were taught, needs to be discussed more, because the whole globe thing has holes in it. The flat earth model has also got just as many holes in it. Somewhere in between, lies the truth.

We go around, so we think we...No...I've got it! It's a bowl, and the planes are maybe flying down one side, but they think...or...um, it's kinda wavy, maybe? On the upside, you think you're following a curved horizon line, but on the downside...I don't know. But just keep thinking, folks! It's sure to make sense at some point if we follow the...um...logic!
We have been conditioned to the narrative and the NASA NAZIS because they say so, I question everything from all points of views. We see pictures of a rocket at night time and it's blue spraying across the skies. That is the firmament of water and they cannot go any farther up. Thats why rockets go horizontal and not straight up and NASA knows that because they can't penetrate it, the firmament is aprox.200 mil. up. We live in a terrarium so to speak, all the ancient civilizations and some more advanced than us no this.
The flat earth discussion is important, right or wrong, as most here know the history we've been taught has been manipulated daily to fit the narratives, just like the 5 things to know a leak is fake article. Flat earth is uncomfortable for most to discuss or think about, it goes against what we've been taught the last 125 years or so, ignoring the fact that prior to that this time period our ancestors thought differently. If something is uncomfortable for someone to discuss, then that implies there is a fear at play, however minor. Like walking down a dark alleyway alone at night. You either walk through it (over coming your fear) or you take the easy way and walk around the block, ignorant of the possibility that walking around the block can be just as dangerous. We all must question and analyze anything told/taught to us by the PTB/those in charge, since we started keeping records. Everything has to be on the table in order to have a proper open discussion. We will each take away what is relevant to our belief system or learn to see it a different way, even if it is hard to accept.
To be dismissive is ignorance. A person is not a good "conspiracy theorist" if they are only willing to accept that only certain things can be a conspiracy, especially when we know how contrived our reality has been formed around us. We all know what good is. In order to accept that somethings are good, you have to accept that somethings can be bad. Lie you can't have one without the other. You either are telling the truth (as best you can) or you are lying (BS counts as a lie or omission of the truth). There is no such thing as a little white lie just as there is no gray area between black and white.
... he explained the particulars of the DIY experiment using a laser gyroscope.I would want to see specifics to assess if it's a legit experiment. Albeit I have no reason to doubt that the earth is not a flat disc.
The test involved using a camera to film through two holes, with a person standing on the other side and shining a torch back at the camera.
Seeking to disprove the mass of research led by NASA experts, ...However, this does not mean that NASA "experts" are not lying, or not publish faked/doctored data.
Gen 1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
Gen 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Gen 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Gen 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Job_38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Job_38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
1Sa_2:8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them.
I'm not trying to convert or make anyone believe, just simply pointing out what the ancient texts speak of. Even the ancient religions talk of the pillars and the tent of the sky. Our ancestors were smarter than us today (hard to accept that, considering what we've been brainwashed to believe) and I'll take their word before I'll submit to the word of any so called scientist, especially the ones who created space.
You do not believe the covid scientists, so why would you believe the early scientists who proposed space? The lies are not recent, the lies go way back, buried in His Story. Space is like dark matter, dark energy or any other dark thing they name. They call it that because they haven't a clue to what it is.
If we do, live on a flat plain, why is that pill so hard to swallow over the man made space, globe and planets stories told by men of science? Remember, space construct is all based on you believing theories, not science facts as all the theories are used to prop up their other theories. It's endless.
PS I compared many passages of the Old Testament in English to hebrew and the translation is lacking in quality in many places in the Bible.
I wasn't pointing out the firmament, I was pointing out the waters above and below, implying they are still there. There was a conversation here a couple of weeks ago about resonance frequency. Bible mention the sound of heaven and we know each star has it's own resonant frequency signature. Sonar luminescence, light in a jar, caused by sound. Adds to the big picture for waters above.
I'm aware of the Elohim translation and implications. I came at it from the alien and men of renown perspective, too many contradictions for me. Aliens or Angels both are the same as Angels are alien to earth. Even one of the Mufon people spoke about the alien encounters that ended instantaneously when Christ name was mentioned. This link goes into more explanation and comparison of the 2. [Link] My lingering question has always been, so where did they go (Angels), specifically the fallen ones. That stemmed from my always wondering where all these powerful families of history went, some truly disappeared, but a few only disappeared from the history books. I read the Sumerian tales, Greek Gods (knowing they still teach that in Greece as history), Roman, Norse and a couple of others. The stories contain history and lots of parallels, even with the Bible. I read the Hermetic Texts, Hamlets Mill and other obtuse esoteric teachings. That's way to much common fiction for me across a lot of time, all of it early time, preGreek and Roman all back to Babel. Ron Wyatt's testimonies and other people, such as Tesla, who were buried from history all because they witnessed or knew things differently than the narrative. Why all the trouble to hide things like this. Even Wernher Von Braun's tombstone's message psalm 19.1 and the message he repeatedly gave to his assistant about what's coming.
I respect what you are saying, but for me it's faith in the word and meaning. I'm fascinated by the mathematical improbabilities in the book as the math doesn't work for English. Ivan Panin was one of the first, he was an atheist who converted and believed in God after his findings. Koinonia House, with the late Chuck Missler has a couple of vids on the mathematical probabilities they found.
There is so much more that I've read and forgotten. I've come full circle, I was taught about GOD, by my parents as a child (we were not religious or went to church), and as a young adult, I strayed away reading about aliens and gods and unexplained mysteries eventually bringing me to the Bible. I had to read it, in order to criticize it and I can't do that. It's the sum of all I've learned.
We are a result of the spoken word, resonance.
Good conversation! Always a pleasure chatting with you.

That is quite the experience. The Christian Ufology Research link above does explain/provide information about what you experienced. They are very real, that is for sure. My experiences have more to do with supernatural, synchronicity, prophetic dreams, de ja vu's, time displacement (that was mild and real time). 3 times, while awake and sober, I had experienced very brief glimpses of having the veil parted and knowing the total truth of everything. It's the only way I can describe it. Like being given a glimpse to all the answers of all. Each time it lasted maybe 10 seconds and was very spiritual in a Godly sense. Nothing like what you have experienced, though. Keep Christ close in case it happens again, is all I can recommend, your friend did well.
Speaking of which, I added you name to another comment, but forgot the double [[]] brackets everyone to get the link. [Link] I hope you check it out if you haven't already.
Lots of rabbit holes like Cacye, Sitchin, Daniken, Hancock, Bauval, Temple, Nostradamus, and a bunch of others. Of them all, Cayce was the most religious, yet ignored the teachings he believed in and paid a price for that. The others talk all around biblical teachings with the common goal of it must be aliens. Hancock is non-religious, except for his own. They all bring to light the disjointedness of history. Temple, sticks pretty much to to the facts, him and Bauval disagree, some fight between them about Giza.
One of my fruit tests about people providing good information, is the handout for money test, especially when it come to religious topics. I don't mind them asking for support, I get it as that's their business model, they depend on it. But if you are just in it for the money, they are probably hiding something. Information is king, it drives the money game. Not sharing knowledge in my books is morally unacceptable, especially when it is of benefit to all. I see that as the single most important way to fight against the PTB. The bible tells us that in the end days, lots of truths will come out and they are, hence the more reason to censor everything, because it's the one cornerstone that can bring down the house of lies.
I mean no disrespect, but I won’t be calling for Jesus in times of troubles. I am spiritual but in this world I rely on myself for better it worse. We are definitely living in very interesting times! A lot is being revealed but we have so much more to discover about ourselves and our history. I’m grateful to the people that dig up for information and present it to the rest of us past and present. But I get what you’re saying about sharing the information freely to everyone and earning and income from those that can afford to make a financial contribution especially during current times when money is getting tighter for so many.
None taken. It's aIways a pleasure to learn something new, be it a different aspect, twist, perspective etc. It truly is a lovely journey, life!

Wether it’s round a flat, it’s still a prison planet.
If we found that the earth was flat tomorrow, does that mean the devilish plans for humanity suddenly stop?
Whether it’s a sphere or flat, it’s still a prison planet.I never understood the fascination we have with the news, yet here we are.
It's actually a good debate, as it pertains to narratives. When do you think the narratives started, 10, 20, 30, 100, 200 ...years ago? So from that point of view, it's relative as there is still info out there to be had for both cases, once digital currencies take over, do you really believe we'll be able to talk about anything on the internet again, openly?
The shape of our planet isn't the reason we're experiencing this shit show today.
It's the lies, deceit, tactics, institutions and willful idiots of an out of touch, intra-predatory class of humans who have waged war on the rest of humanity due to their arrogance, hubris and collective psychopathy. A Flat Earth won't change that.
When defending yourself in battle, it's best to be on solid ground, not ground that is moving (or spinning).
Tell a Big Enough Lie, repeat it often, back it up with more lies and bigger lies, in the end, it's still a lie. Flat earth or flat plane is the biggest example of their lies, crack that nut and the rest will spill all over the floor.
So we agree they lie, yet you say believing flat earth won't change that, implies you are still hanging onto some lies. Don't defend their narrative, let go of all the lies and be free.

Try and find an old grave yard that has a burial dated beyond 1600
You do know that many cultures buried their dead without a need for a headstone to commemorate it.
