Lol, no. Despite his studies in art, he doesn't understand the basics of modeling (or physics but that is not a surprise...)

For one, it is utterly stupid to use a corner. Next, he was correct that the pop-sci hacks he specifically chose to cite said things incorrectly; a sphere will always cast a curved shadow, not a circular one (which is obvious, and which is the only shape he managed to produce). Even if the shadow is oblong or whatever, it is always curved and not angled.

Next, the guy doesn't understand modeling a shadow: he should use some approximation of scale... say a softball for earth and a ping pong ball for the moon is roughly the correct ratio. Then, you need to hang them at the scales distance from each other and the sun. It would be very difficult to get a light bulb that would approximate the sun's size relative to these but a strong light source at a scaled distance will work.

When set up correctly not haphazardly like a moron, he would see that the shadow is the shape of the "earth" ball and rather uniformly curved.

You can try it yourself rather than trusting that idiot.

Now, the things that one cannot understand the proofs of without actual knowledge of physics and higher math that you can't get on YouTube or a blog, is that the electromagnetic characteristics of the earth's dipole field can only be created by a (the) rotating sphere (model of the earth as is well understood). I will leave it at this because if you were impressed with those videos, this stuff is waaaaay above your IQ level.
