A man decided to conduct an experiment that was supposedly going to prove the Earth is flat, but was shocked when he discovered he was wrong.

The clip, which went viral on Reddit, comes from the 2018 documentary Behind the Curve and shows a flat-Earther setting up an experiment to prove the Earth is flat.
For the experiment, the flat-Earther drilled holes into two wooden boards. The boards were placed at a certain distance from each other, and he aligned a camera to point directly through the center of both holes.
If the Earth were flat, he said, someone should be able to shine a flashlight through both holes without the light being blocked by the curvature of the Earth.
As the experiment unfolded, the man held the flashlight at the same height as the holes, but no light appeared on the camera. Then he held it above his head — and the light appeared.
The conspiracy theorist seemed speechless and only managed to say, “Interesting.” Despite the failed experiment, viewers of the documentary revealed that he continued to believe the Earth is flat.
