Comment from : @ivandiaz9703

Looking at the globe and exploration scene in the old days, it kinda remind me about the man who strongly believed the Earth is flat and killed himself in his DIY rocket today Technology is so much developed these years and yet many people in developed countries (not developing countries!) are still believing the Earth is flat What's wrong with the education authorities is that the real reason behind why STEM education is stressed nowadays hahaha

Comment from : @gregorys6838

This guy is an incredible professional He is so good At pretending he knows anything about eletromagnetism
Comment from : @tomaslopes626

Yeah Magnetism is still a mysterious force to physicists I guess this century is the 17th

Just another flat earth proof masquerading as a globe
Comment from : @simsational

Haven’t learned anything new Just a sales pitch for compasses
Comment from : @funckyjunky

compass allowed better navigation but people knew the directions based on the stars and sun long before and after the compass plus the compass had literally nothing to do with knowing the earth is a globe
Comment from : @SageThyme23

"Ball of molten iron at the center"brCan we verify that with the scientific method? 🤔 brDoesn't iron lose it's magnetic properties at about 770C (1,418F) (Curie point)?
Comment from : @plodojed

Nice and excellent IdeaThank you
Comment from : @bestbuy3514

These three minutes clearly shine the spotlight on one of the things we often neglect; allowing us to appreciate their significance in the past and present Keep bringing more, 👌
Comment from : @joy4229

Format's a little strange but I'm glad to see a TED navigate away from pre-taped "live" Lectures don't need audience applause to be engaging
Comment from : @MrEricSir

We knew the world was a sphere long before magnetism/compasses were developed Ancient greeks had surprisingly accurate estimates of the diameter of the earth

Comment from : @opaulodetarso

Because a compass magnet's north end points to the north, the north magnetic pole is a south magnet The south magnetic pole is a north magnet It couldn't be any other way
Comment from : @jukejeff

Good info, but horrible video editing Unwatchable
Comment from : @TwyllaNight

They work great except for areas with strong magnetic field They can even get uncalibrated if you go through the North Pole, South Pole, or Mecca
Comment from : @ReiEvangelista

This video is just an ad for outdoor activities, ergo buy The North Face stuff
Comment from : @vnvnvnvnvnv

Cool, but isn't electromagnetism the best understood fundamental force tho? Also as others have pointed out, ppl navigated by the sun before compasses
Comment from : @MirorR3fl3ction

GPS
Comment from : @artLABPictures

Why would someone give this video a thumbs down?? My theory is that it's robobots that detect quality and hate it automatically!!
Comment from : @nathanbaribeau2833

I have a small compass attached to my wrist watch I don’t do much navigation but I enjoy referencing to it is a move about to know what direction things are from my position Pretty fun

The prismatic compass was our tool to navigate through the bush when we were in Air Force cadets That tool, plus counting steps, generally got us to our destination
