Interesting video for sure!
I have to admit i did kind of jump around, but i feel like I got the gist of it.
So here is my response:
I think the guy in this video is what Flat Earthers are saying is what's wrong with the whole system. From what I could, most of the points he made were things that your average person cannot see, feel or experience. For example, with the gyroscope he says: "If we could spin a gyroscope long enough, we would eventually see the curve of the earth" is something that he has no proof of being true other than some experiment done once in the mid 1800s. And when he says that that's how gyroscopes got there name is just a lie. Gyroscopes got there name because the "gyrate", or "spin in a circle."
As far as the Coriolis Effect, there are many unanswered questions about this in itself. For example: According to scientists, the Coriolis Effect is what causes weather patterns move the way that they do in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. However, this is not consistent among all weather patterns. Which raises the question how come some weather systems are unaffected by the coriolis effect? And again with coriolis effect, how are we supposed to believe something that neither you or I can see or feel, something that our senses and logic tell us can't be possible?
I encourage you to look up the Sagnac Experiment and the Michealson-Morley Experiment, both of these have been repeated over and over again and famously show proof of a flat and stationary earth along with contradicting Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
And Lastly,
If the earth is a sphere and Antarctica is a continent, then why did James Cook and other explorers circumnavigate the "continent" and record distances between 50,000 and 60,000 miles?
