not-a-professor Professor Dave seethes for two hours and pretends to be an expert on a topic he knows nothing about

>>16718812
As a result, not-an-anything anon seethes about it on /sci/.

>>16718813
Using far less time.

>>16718818
Oh don't worry, the seething is only a symptom of the neverhending butthurt.

>>16718813
ironically enough, i'm a professor. never met a professor who talks about or defends not-a-professor Professor Dave. rather curious, dontcha think?

>>16718812
>knowing nothing about
That's better than knowing bullshit like RFK, the worm-ed

>>16718829
Sure thing, "professor"

>>16718832
rfj is a retard. that doesn't mean dave is not a retard. why people would want to listen to a retard rail on a retard is beyond me, but perhaps it really is just retards railing on retards for the consumption by retards.

>>16718835
And yet, thunderf00t gets tons of views.

>>16718835
Well Professor Dave is not retarded, so you would become less a retard if you watched him.

>>16718836
thunderf00t is a retard thoever

>>16718837
Reads exactly like the screenshots I've seen of Dave's comments on his videos. Either you are Dave, or you've consumed so much of his brainrot that you're indistinguishable from him.

>>16718803 (OP)
Why didn't you post a link? You like being called names OP?

>>16718843
There were several Dave threads a couple of months ago. Either all his fans talk like him or he's actually pathetic enough to come here and discuss himself and argue with anons.

>>16718843
Wow, you seem to have spent a lot of time on this, to the point of hallucinating him everywhere. You should stop crying and shitting yourself while seething at his political opinons.

You too.

How often do you hear professors talk about or defend YouTubers in any capacity?

>>16718833
I taught computer science 2 semesters at a University as an adjunct professor, so yes. I actually was a professor and "professor" dave is a complete buffoon

>>16718876
You're literally the most retarded namefag schizo on this website

>>16718896
You shouldn't use such vile, homophobic slurs, Dave. What would your audience think if they knew you believed this?

>>16718899
Professor Dave mindbroke you, you poor thing.

>Professor Dave is a 4channer
someone should tell his followers

>>16718904
Is Professor Dave in the thread with you right now?

>>16718907
Yeah, he's here
>>16718907

The reason Professor Dave has so many antifans here is that this place attracts failures who build their identity on schizophrenically attacking everything which they consider mainstream. Since Dave regularly humiliates these contrarians on his channel and gets millions of views for it, these subhumans get severely triggered by the mere mention of his name and start shitting themselves while hallucinating him everywhere.

>>16718915
this board has multiple expert physicists. some postdocs, some phd students, and some professors. every single one of them shat on professor dave for how he got into a pissing match with sabine over physics. it was pathetic. and you can try to sweep it away as schizophrenics objecting to him, but you'd be wrong.

>>16718915
Dave is an educated midwit with an axe to grind.
The purely educational, non-deboonking, videos I have seen aren't bad at all. But he quickly resorts to harping on pedantry when he's refuting something.

I can't say I've seen him be critically wrong about anything, but I remember one of his flat earth videos where he rags on the curvature estimate flerfs love to use (8in/mi^2). He showed the trig function you should technically be using during his tirade because he evidently doesn't know what polynomial interpolation is.

>>16718896
Eat shit Dave you disgusting obese jew

>>16718919
Ah yes, the "expert physicists" on /sci/ who believe in flat earth, weinstein retardation and quantum consciousness. I'm sure you're very impressed by them.

>>16718921
I have no idea which video you're talking about

>>16718923
Here is another actual professor, stanford graduate. who studies and teaches "quantum consciousness" but I am sure a fat, retarded, obese jew like yourself is far beyond him in intellect and knowledge lmao. That is three actual professors who are all in agreement you are a disgusting, obese retard.

You are the biggest pseud to ever visit this board. You want so bad to be relevant and taken seriously when all you do is make pop sci videos for a platofrm that literally anyone in the world can upload a video too. You are a cosmic tier lolcow

Dave is a tard

>>16718928
Lmao, you literally validated my point. Go on being an embarrassing retard. I'm enjoying it.

>>16718931
his resume, is far more impressive than "fat retard who makes retarded videos for retards in jewtube" as is mine

https://www.linkedin.com/in/andr%C3%A9s-g%C3%B3mez-emilsson-b3084539/

cosmic tier lolcow

>>16718927
It's been years since I've seen the video and I can't be fucked to search for it.
It was a brief segment where he quoted a flerf using the 8in/mi^2 estimate. Dave said something to the effect of "that's not the right equation, this is the right equation. Flat earthers are too stupid for basic trig." And he never bothered to show how these functions relate to each other because he apparently reasoned that there shouldn't be a relationship between square miles and eye perceived curvature in a straight line.

>>16718934
This is meaningless without context. Since you can't seem to remember it very well, you're probably not even relaying what he did or said accurately

>>16718932
LOL, anything else from this "expert physicist"?

>>16718939
Found it.

>nb4 he wont dare post a resume that will make this entire board die laughing

conversation over fat boy. @ if you ever get the balls to post your hilarious cv. "Jewtuber" is not a University "professor" lolcow

If Dave was a 4chan user, he would have known what pajeet meant in that one video about the flat-earther.

>>16718944
wow. that was embarrassing. it's like he saw a square and his brain broke. he doesn't even realize parabolas can have different curvatures. he also completely misunderstands why that dimension of length/area might be useful. kek what a dumb fuck

>>16718948
I won't be too hard on him.
Like I said he just didn't realize that 8in/mi^2 is a polynomial interpolation so of course you're not gonna be able to derive it because the whole reason it exists is someone took the values from the trig function and found a simpler function that gives reasonably close values for any meaningfully useful distance.

Problem is, instead of cross-checking the values given by the two functions, he went the arrogant prick route and "um, acktchually'd" the fuck out of it.

Professor Dave is

1. Not a professor
2. Not a researcher
3. Not a scientist
4. not a PhD
5. not a Masters
6. barely educated with only a bachelor, enough to cover maybe some basic introductory courses to mechanics, electromagnetism, waves, thermodynamics, calculus, and matrices
7. a moron who thought he could go up against based sabine who can actually read theoretical research articles and point out their flaws and who has workes professionally as a researcher with a phd in theoretical physics, especially quantum gravity

>>16718803 (OP)
Its awesome that old school lolcows like Dave still roam the earth.

>>16718944
There's nothing wrong with what he said there? Using the formula for a parabola will give wrong results for a sphere.

>>16718966
we need a brave anon to compile a bunch of his kekerino moments into montages

>>16718967
There's a term I keep using. What was it again?
"Polynomial interpolation" was it?

Cheekiness aside, The trig function and the polynomial approximation have nothing intrinsic to do with each other. That much is true. Th whole point is the parabolic function does not meaningfully diverge from the cosine function until you're like an 8th of the way around the earth.
The first 6 minutes of this video (not from a flat earther) discusses exactly this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_43oTnTXiw

>>16718976
It's not Dave's fault if he refuses to use some dumb approximate formula flat earthers use with no mention of the limits in which it is a good approximation and so on.

>>16718946
Not clicking that shit. I already know that you're terminally retarded without having to look at your "qualifications".

>>16718981
you already did you fat fucking retard. now get on your knees and suck me off hebe

>>16718982
Having a schizo melty again?

>>16718977
Hence why I said this:
>>16718959
However, it is kinda on him, if he's putting out videos with the intent of educating the public, to check if his thesis that "this equation gives wrong values" is actually correct and at least fool around with a spreadsheet like the guy in the other video did.

I'm cool with someone being wrong about something if they're willing to be humble. And I'm fine with someone being arrogant when that arrogance is well placed.
But when you're arrogant and wrong it just makes you look like a jackass.

>>16718987
By looking at the units, it's natural to guess that it was obtained using a Taylor approximation. I wouldn't try to be too generous to someone retarded enough to think the earth is flat. Anyway, if the flat earthers he debated haven't already pointed this out to him, they had no understanding of the formula they were using either - and that's the real problem with them, which is what Dave is highlighting.

>>16718992
>Dave made a retarded mistake
>The retards didn't call our his retardation
>Ergo, Dave is justified
You sound like his target audience... in case it's not clear, I'm saying his target audience is one devoid of critical thinking.

>>16718993
Looks like you missed the point of my post. Try applying those critical thinking skills of yours a bit more.

>>16718996
>>16718993
What are you nerds on about

>>16718997
Anon's complaint about Professor Dave is that he just used an exact formula and didn't completely reverse engineer whatever dumb approximation flat earthers were quoting with no understanding, so that makes Dave worse than flat earthers or something.

>>16718999
>and didn't completely reverse engineer whatever dumb approximation flat earthers were quoting with no understanding
it's a simple taylor series, which "professor" dave - someone who has taught organic chemistry - should understand with literally zero effort. he didn't understand it, which proves he's a pseud. and given your framing of the situation as some "reverse engineer a dumb approximation" highlights that i was right to call you a retard and a member of his target audience.
>so that makes Dave worse
the post wasn't about comparatives; the post was about pointing out hypocrisies. it's ironic you claimed i missed the point of your post after this ignorant response on your part.

>>16719001
What are you talking about you retard? He points out that it's a parabolic approximation in this video >>16718944. Didn't you watch your own video?

>>16718999
To be clear, I'm not this guy:
>>16718993
>>16719001
I'm this guy:
>>16718987

What I was saying is pretty much summed up here: >>16718921
I agree that flerfs are morons. But Dave is putting out educational content. Him being wrong about something is a bigger problem than when a flat earther is wrong about something.

Sane, intelligent, people already know flerfs are morons. People like Dave are expected to be accurate by normal people.

>>16719010
Okay, but he wasn't really wrong about anything. He pointed out why the formula uses those units (because they're using a parabolic approximation) and he pointed out why this has limited applicability.

>>16719009
I'll reiterate that I'm the guy who posted that video and not the guy you were responding to.:
Dave says, without mincing words, that 8in/mi^2 is not a valid way to calculate curvature. But it is for the kinds of distances flerfs typically use.
watching this video:
>>16718976
Matt shows that even at 153 miles away, the two approximations only diverge by like 30 inches. But they both agree that the drop should be in the range of 15,000 feet.

>>16719018
>that 8in/mi^2 is not a valid way to calculate curvature
He also mentions that it's a parabolic approximation at 5:20. Maybe he's saying it's not a valid way to calculate curvature because it's just becomes invalid for large distances and flat earthers have no idea how to apply it or what its limits are.

>>16719025
Dave explicitly says it's wrong, when it isn't. Why is this so hard for you to grasp?

>>16719025
He says the phrase "parabolic approximation" once in that entire segment. Then goes on to harp about how the earth isn't a parabola, anything you try to measure with it is wrong, and how they're intentionally using this wrong approximation to get wrong results.

Meanwhile, the r-rcos(d/2r) equation is also an appropriation so I don't know why you're latching onto that word so much.

>>16719029
>>16719032
It's wrong because
1. It's wrong for all distances and badly wrong for large distances.
2. Without an explicit formula giving the height in terms of the distance along the earth, it's meaningless. If someone just told you that "the curvature of the earth is 8 inches/mi^2", they would be talking nonsense.

How would you even interpret 8 inches/mi^2 without any context? One natural way to interpret it would be to say that the height increases by 8 inches for every increase by 1mi^2 in the area of a circular region lying on the earth and centered at you. Or it could mean any of several other incompatible things. Just saying "the curvature of the earth is 8 inches/mi^2" is completely meaningless.

>>16719033
>1. It's wrong for all distances and badly wrong for large distances.
The trig function isn't perfectly accurate either. 8in/mi^2 remains quite accurate past the point where you reach distances that would conceal a commercial airliner at cruising altitude in both approximations.

>Without an explicit formula giving the height in terms of the distance along the earth, it's meaningless. If someone just told you that "the curvature of the earth is 8 inches/mi^2", they would be talking nonsense.
8x^2=drop in inches where x = distance in miles.
What are you even asking for?

>>16719036
>What are you even asking for?
I'm not asking for anything. I'm saying the statement "the curvature of the earth is 8 inches/mi^2" is meaningless without a formula giving the height in terms of the distance. As I say here >>16719035, you could get a completely different formula by interpreting it other natural ways.

>>16718829
Professors are usually too busy to blabber about tubeslop. They might show the class a clip they found for a particular purpose, but they are unlikely to be familiar with the slopverse i.e. faggots talking about faggots talking about political slop.

>>16719041
Well this loops back to my main point which is pedantry. Dave seems to have gotten the correct interpretation. Matt got the right interpretation. I got the right interpretation.

I'll reiterate what I said here: >>16718959
>Problem is, instead of cross-checking the values given by the two functions, he went the arrogant prick route and "um, acktchually'd" the fuck out of it.
The stated purpose of his video was to refute common flat earth claims. Flerfs use a formula which he boldly proclaims does not accurately portray the observed curvature. But it does, indeed, work.
Now you're sitting here being pedantic about how it's not a perfect representation and it doesn't work for long distances and it can be interpreted wrong...
Dave just made a mistake. Simple as. It's a mistake he would not have made if he applied the same standard to this video that he does when he's not trying to deboonk people.

The premise if that section was that objects flerfs claim should be obscured but are not actually shouldn't be because they use the wrong equation. This is wrong. Matt took like 3 seconds in his video to quickly gloss over the actual reasons for the apparent mismatch. 8in/mi^2 is not one of them.

>>16719048
We've already been over this. It's not a mistake, since he makes no factually incorrect statement. At best, you could say he's being pedantic, but the point of the criticisms he makes aren't to be pedantic but to show how flat earthers have no understanding of what they're saying.
> that objects flerfs claim
It's not inconceivable to me that there are some flerfs who use the 8 in/mi^2 well beyond the range where the parabolic approximation fails. He also probably mentions those other reasons at some point too.

>>16719052
Mistake:
>8 inches per mile squared is not a valid way to measure Earth's curvature.
As has already been verified earlier ITT. it is.
>If you understood math, you would immediately see that this "squared" on miles is totally out of place
Actually, it's perfectly in place and belongs.

>>16719052
>It's not inconceivable to me that there are some flerfs who use the 8 in/mi^2 well beyond the range where the parabolic approximation fails
At those sorts of distances, Mt Everest would be concealed by both metrics. I think you grossly misunderstand just how good the approximation is.

>>16719055
See >>16719033, flat earther
>>16719056
I think you misunderstand how dumb flat earthers are

>>16719058
What I'm saying is, for an object to be concealed in one model but not the other (within reasonable margin of error ofc) it would either have to be talker than Everest or so "far away" that it's looped around the other side of the planet and is behind you instead.

>>16719058
i'm not a flat earther; i'm a physicist. if you want to properly argue against them, you should not make such stupid mistakes. you're making the same types of logical errors that capital-A Atheists would make. namely if anything is said by the "wrong-folx", then you reject everything they say as de facto incorrect. which leads you to embarrass yourself in front of others by saying clearly correct things are incorrect.

it seems like you're incapable of realizing that conspiracy theorists layer their delusions with nuggets of truths. when you reject the truths with their delusions, you do little more than to give more voice to their lies.

>>16719064
>so "far away" that it's looped around the other side of the planet and is behind you instead.
You do realize flat earthers don't believe the planet "loops" don't you?

>>16718812
Russian robot idiots ITT trying to statistically harm your country's health

>>16719070
Yeah. But what I'm saying is it would be like if the flerf said the object is supposed to be 8,000 miles away.

>>16719067
No, you're just a moronic flat earther. Your excuses and narratives for being a flat earther are not very interesting to me, they're cliche and stupid.

>>16719070
>>16719074
Sorry. I'm retard. Meant 25,000 miles.

>>16719075
ah, right, how i could forget the other famous tactic of pseuds: accusing everyone who calls out your bad reasoning a conspiracy theorist. i don't need to be a flat earther to tell you that you don't understand the utility of a taylor series.

>>16719077
Right, as opposed to the tactics of flat earthers like you who start complaining about atheists out of nowhere. What next? Will you cry about scientism?

>>16719078
dave you are such a seething retard it is actually quite hilarious. "lolcow" doesnt do you justice, more like a LMAOcow

>>16719134
so all the things I have been preaching about here for the last 10 years all the drooling mouth breathers called me a schizo for? not surprising, Dave like the rest of the NPC midwits, can only regurgitate memes they read in textbooks because they lack the cognitive ability to discern valid and true information on its own merit.

>>16719151
Make no mistake, it's mostly retarded schizo shit
Being a schizo just happens to trigger Dave and people like him.

>>16719158
What exactly is "schizo" about any of these you retarded nigger. You cant discuss any of these topics intelligently

>>16719161
Not necessarily the concepts themselves, but the community that gravitates towards them.
Assertions with little/no supporting evidence that get lumped in with theories about an ignorant/malicious scientific bodies motivated to conceal the truth or whatever.

>>16718915
The appropriate response to Professor Dave is a bullet to the head.

>>16719094
It's kind of based that you never actually feel the need to argue and just talk down to everyone who opposes you, but I still think you're an insufferable jew that committed the cardinal sin of being extremely rude and unpleasant.

>>16719171
ok, I see. While it is true retards ALSO cannot discern true and valid information on its own merit, it doesnt mean they are wrong an as I already stated they are certainly not alone

This man screams CIA psy-op to me. None of the engagement I've seen from his videos strikes me as organic.

>>16718803 (OP)
Haven't watched this. But if it made /sci/ seethe and cope so much he must be right.

Cool it with the antisemitic remarks

/sci/tards are absolutely terrified of Professor Dave. This is not a natural or healthy reaction.

Fearing an enemy is a natural and healthy response. He's an enemy to science and a proponent of Scientism.

Because you were too dumb to get into a university?

>>16719398
That argument doesn't apply anymore, Dave. If you were actually a professor and had any affiliations with universities, you'd know they accept anyone with a pulse now.

no I believe that is Dave who only has a bachelor at a community college.
