Welcome to my channel! My name is Mat and I am a scientist (an astrophysicist to be specific). My channel is all about science videos, varying from 'What is it like to fall in to a black hole' to 'What is Cancer'. I do a main video every week on a different interesting science topic or answering a frequently asked science question. I explain the science from a nice basic level allowing anyone of any age to understand and get excited about science!
So why not check out some videos, subscribe and leave some comments.
About me: I am a British PhD student, currently about halfway way through my PhD. After which I will be a doctor (sadly not The Doctor). I worked for a year at the European Space Agency on the Gaia space mission.

Thousands of years ago, Greek philosophers and mathematicians worked out that the Earth must be round. But, there are still some people today who believe that it is flat. So, what are the key pieces of evidence that the world we live on is round?

Lmfao. This has to be satire
What don't you understand?
Ok im from Okinawa Japan and now i live in USA. How do i see moon on day in USA and wen i call Japan moon is out at night time... How is it moon n USA n Japan? Is that mean we got two moons or earth is flat 🤔🤔🤔
Where in the US do you live?
But, technologically, I do want see the moon with every night!!!
Oh, it's because I see the moon at the day. But it's absolutely around the earth.
I was 1 month old that year
Are u an nasa astronomer
Fu... earth is flat
your face is flat
😂😂😂 When common sense gose out the door. The shadow on the moon only appears if earth is in front of moon
But why can the people on the other side of earth see it too??? And wouldn't that make us have a solar eclipse for a few days???
Only half of the earth can 'see' the moon at any one time. What isn't explained in the video, is that the moon's orbit around the earth is inclined at a 5 degree angle to the earth's orbital plane reference to the sun, which means it's a rare occurrence for the moon to pass directly in front of the sun.
you can see moon in daylight and see it even near sun in day time too.. people brains break when they see it because they need a script that says you cant.
I’m 12 and my dream job is anything astronomical, mainly astronomer
It’s so great to hear that some gen alpha’s have ambitions!! I’m a gen z and nowadays people I know would never even think about being an astronomer bc of the work
Sameeee I am 10 tho
I saw the moon in the morning today
I don't get it why is the moon here in day shouldn't it be giving light to the other side of the world lighting up there night??
The moon and the sun are just racing above us . As the moon decreases the sun catches up until it's a new Moon and when the sun races away from the moon it starts to increase into a full moon . We live on a stationary earth with a dome. The bible is the truth
@@Yarden.Israel Sorry to debunk your indoctrinated and ridiculous viewpoint, but the earth is a spherical rotating planet - it sure ain't flat 'with a dome'.
Somehow I’ve never noticed a moonless night. I guess it’s just not that different
Ops please who did that Yin Yang drawing? It is total wrong. It should be Yang contains Yin and Yin contains Yang.
Sorry the Earth is flat we are surrounded by an ice wall called Antarctica that keeps the water from escaping that is why you're not allowed to visit Antarctica go ahead try to cross over the continent of Antarctica
Being the indoctrinated and ignorant fool that you are, please NEVER reproduce.
@@sailorman8668 nothing substantial to say? can you only be rude?
@@lushtern Are you also one of these people that mistakenly think the earth is flat?
@@sailorman8668 I don't think, I see and feel that the earth is flat
ASTRO WHAT NOW
I should show this to a certain idiot who insisted it's only a reflection of the moon we see in the day time, like: where the f_ck is the mirror reflecting it genius?
Ok wow i seriously just learned so much thank you!
Explain this to me. One morning me and a friend saw the moon mid morning in the USA I asked my friend since we can see the moon does that mean people on the opposite side of the earth can't. He said let's find out. It turned out he had a sister living in Australia so he called her and asked if she could see the moon. After cussing out her brother because it's about 15 hours time difference she looked and said she could see the moon. I'm no scientists but how can we both see the moon at the same time on the opposite side of the earth?
It's definitely possible for California to see the setting moon while Sydney is watching it rise.
@chandllerburse737 Actually, it's you being the ignorant fool that you are that can't understand why people on different parts of the earth can see the moon at the same time. Perhaps you're so stupid too, that you can't understand either, why people separated by quite large distances can see the sun at the same time too.
1:33 Wait! The Moon travels/orbits around the Earth!? I was taught in the Public Education System, the Moon is locked and stays in one place, and it is the earth that spins on its Axis while in orbit around the Sun that causes the Night and Day that We viewfrom the Earths surface.
Yes, the moon orbits the earth - this is basic knowledge. If you think you've been taught otherwise, you've clearly misunderstood what's been explained to you. With regards to the moon being 'locked', this is in reference to the fact that the same side of the moon always faces earth, due to a phenomenon known as 'tidal locking'.
"Hypothetically" what happens if someone uses a vision Pro and mark/drop a window at a specific point in the sky would it fade some degrees to the side till it is out of site as time goes by, then if u stay in that specific spot would it start to slide back into your vision from the opposite side after 365 days exactly?. Don't know how far away from u a window can be pinned. Don't have a vision pro so 🤷.
Why can’t we see it approaching the eclipse a few hours away?
On the day when a solar eclipse is going to happen, the moon is its 'new moon' phase, which means there is no part of the moon's near-side surface that is being illuminated by the sun and is therefore in complete shade. The only time that the moon can be seen, is when at least some part of its near-side surface is being illuminated.

Thanks
Good grief for the last time the Earth is flat the Sun and Moon revolve over us
your face is dumb
Good grief for the last time the Earth is spherical and orbits the sun while the moon orbits the earth
@@sailorman8668 So much for a productive conversation...🤣
@@lushtern Considering that my comment contains the actual facts of the situation, then actually, my comment is in fact 'productive'. Perhaps we can now see one of your own 'productive' comments?
BUT WHY IS THE SHADOW THE SAME WHEN THE MOON IS OUT DURING THE DAY
Do you actually not know the answer to your question?
Its visible in the daytime because the earth is flat
your face makes no sense
Why can't the moon be above the horizon on a spherical earth when the sun is also above the horizon?
RIP Arecibo Observatory
The moon can be out when lt come day but ee can say lt fir some hour
We can see thr moon when lts close to thr night
if i'm astronomer how match i get per month
Earth is a ellipsoid
The only reason I started watching this was for A school assignment. When I began to watch closely I actually became intrigued. Very interesting!
this was great! I love looking thru telescopes though, so who are the people that get paid to look through telescopes??
The moon has a maximum view in daytime of 12 hours, yet it is visible sometimes for multiple days. Explain that please. 🤔
Neither point is correct. Crescent moons can be seen in the summer in excess of 12 hours. It can NEVER be seen for days as a time without setting.
Earth is obviously flat bro go outside and see Stop believeing american lies and believe your own eyes!!
Your face is a lie.
The earth isn't flat you deluded clown.
Loved it! Been dreaming about being an astronomer since I was a kid. Unfortunately, I lack the math skills so I could never be one😅

You're not very bright, are you?
It's in the sky every day,,
The Earth is a Flat Plane contained in an Ice Wall called the antartic Circle. If you stop regurgitating the BS youve been fed from kinder garden / nusery school. You will start to see with your own eyes the truth. THINK< globers laugh at Flat Earthers but Flat earthers have empathy because Flat Earthers once where LED to believe we live on a spinning ball. So we understand how hard it is to go against Core Beliefs. all this video has done is great because anyone who takes the time to read the comments will have the seed planted. when i started out on my journey i stopped laughing at flat earthers when i realised i could not proove we live on a rotating globe unless i used theorys. so to expand my education i looked into the flat earth theory. I was amazed how easy it is to proove we live on a flat plane. Not PlanET. Ask this question to yourself Can you be sure the moon is a sphere ? if youve only ever seen the same side ? ALL YOUR LIFE. Can you really be sure of other planets without CGI Images ? Can you really ever know what is beyond the Ice wall. these are the questions you should be asking yourself and not wait for us to point them out to you. So who is stupid THINK ABOUT IT.......
You’re not very bright, are you?
The moon is plasma!! fact
The mood is a lamp! its plasma
Are you seriously trying to tell everyone that the moon doesn't 'shine' because it's reflecting the sunlight that's hitting its surface?
@@sailorman8668yes. exactly. The moon is a selfilluminated object like the sun is. I know, it‘s very hard to unterstand at the beginning but once you are studying it, there is no way back.
@@ArtJorgeCom Thanks for your reply - now we are all left in no doubt whatsoever just how much of an ignorant fool you are. The moon 'shines' because it is reflecting the sunlight that's hitting its surface. And no, the earth isn't flat either. Please, NEVER reproduce.
Does not his sound sound like Stewie front the family guy ?
Planet is flat thats why u can see them together , on Dec 20 2023 i was driving thru Gorgia state in USA , was 1:13 (13:13) I see Sun and Moon on one sky close to each other to close when moon shold be over Central Europe at the time if Planet is Ball
You’re not very bright, are you?
Please, NEVER reproduce. You would only succeed in infecting our spherical planet with yet more unwanted ignorant fools.
ALL I Heard was idk and bullshit
Or we live on a flat earth and everything they told us about the sun and moon is a lie
your face is a lie
Bull shit lol
What don’t you understand?
Are you referring to the idea that the earth is flat?
That's a lot of spinning
I vaguely understood this first time I watched this. I managed to see the sun abd the moon at the same time . We moved locations.So I had to see it to believe it. It's beautiful.
