The well-known Russian composer and singer Yuri Loza sparked a robust online discussion by presenting a flat Earth perspective and challenging what many fans assume about our planet.
On his YouTube channel, Loza shared a new video in which he lays out his reasons for insisting that the Earth is flat. He opens by noting that critics often tell him his arguments for a flat Earth are insufficient. He then emphasizes a particular point he believes to be the most straightforward evidence: the law of communicating vessels. He explains that when measuring levels of a homogeneous liquid in connected containers from the lowest point near the Earth’s surface, the levels align. He further asserts that in the field of geodesy, which studies the Earth’s shape, size, and gravitational field, there should be corrections indicating curvature but he claims there are none that clearly prove a round Earth.

According to Loza, long-range observations can be understood through flat Earth principles. He argues that aircraft travel and ships float on what he describes as a flat Earth map. The video also features his review of textbooks and reference materials that describe a spherical Earth. He contends that even if a teacher were asked how the Earth’s roundness was demonstrated, the answer would involve a series of lengthy studies. He questions how such studies were conducted and suggests that it is impossible to verify the Earth’s diameter with absolute certainty by scanning on a planetary scale. He concludes that attempting to illuminate the Earth to reveal its true workings would not yield a definitive demonstration. [Loza, YouTube video attribution]
Yuri Loza goes on to argue that universal gravitation, as commonly described, does not operate in the way it is often taught. He claims that rivers traveling on a globe would defy definition because water should flow differently on a spherical surface. He also asserts that tidal effects are not caused by the Moon’s gravity, but by the Earth’s own movement. These points are presented as part of a broader challenge to conventional physics and astronomy. [Loza, YouTube video attribution]
The online response to Loza’s video has been mixed. Some viewers appear receptive to his flat Earth perspective, while others strongly disagree or view his claims as a playful or provocative stunt. A portion of the audience interpreted the video as entertainment rather than a serious scientific argument, while others urged critical thinking and requested more concrete evidence. The discussion reflects a wider debate about how audiences assess scientific claims shared through social media and video channels. [Loza, YouTube video attribution]
