RE: Spinning Around The Coriolis Effect - Proving A Round World Without NASA
Tv and movies have a lot of misconceptions to answer for. Countless times have i taken a dramatized account of something that i have watched as fact, only to learn later that it's untrue, not necessarily a lie just a scene that has been manipulated to generate a desired outcome or emotion. Nice post.
Yes and I would add that the internet has exacerbated that, we live in a world of headlines and mountains of info, so it is easy to hear or read a headline and then repeat it as fact, without looking into it properly. This is why we have the scientific process, beautifully illustrated by the video I posted. :-)
