RE: Horizon Drop: The Easiest, Most Definitive Way to Prove the Curvature of the Earth

in #science7 years ago

gyroscope can be set in an equilibrium to not move, tho it is free to.

if the earth was rotating, the gyroscope would rotate 360 degrees every day, but it doesn't. it just sits there.

this is literally impossible in globe earth theory.

oh, and if we were really spinning at near the speed of sound (which globe earth claims) it would be like being in a car going around a corner constantly. you'd definately feel it. the reason is momentum.

there is no point when being on a merry-go-round when you stop feeling the spin.

Sort:  

Gyroscope: Demonstrate this, then, and explore alternate explanations that might refute it in order to strengthen your case.

The surface speed of the earth varies from the poles to the equator, but remains one revolution per 24 hours, and your location on the surface riding along with it means your frame of reference is apparently stationary. If a juggler rides on a maglev train at 60 mph, he doesn't need to compensate for the velocity because the train, his body, and the balls he juggles are all moving within the same frame of reference. There is no vibration from outside interference just like the Earth.

he would if it was turning around a corner. everyone has felt it. same when in a plane. all seems normal until you ascend/descend or bank.

they are called g-forces if you turn hard enough.

on the earth, you'd constantly be turning a corner.. so no, it is not straight and linear as in your description of the juggler.

Except no, you're not "constantly turning a corner" in the sense of your analogy. You're rotating at one revolution per day. That's imperceptible even at the equator because everything is also rotating at the same rate.

That is your conjecture. It doesn't matter that it is the same rate. Merry go rounds are felt at low speeds.

Then gyroscopes... it really is the archilles heel of the globe earth theory.

Sit on a merry-go-round at 1 rev/day. You won't notice it.

hahahahahahahah... yeah, ok, what kind of merry-go-round where you on. because it is worse on the edge.

and gyroscopes.. none of you will touch it, because IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE ON A GLOBE EARTH.

we are not moving. oh, well, i don't believe you truly believe what you say.

Gyroscopes do show the earth moving. They confirm the rotation of the earth.

now you are just flat out lying, why do you do this? I've shown you multiple videos, never once have you refuted it, all you've done is point the the pendulum. now suddenly, it is true.

new strategy for disinformation?

i know how they work, if people refuse to accept the reality and try and explain it away, well that is their business.

Maybe your thinking of Foucault pendulum.
Simple device conceived as an experiment to demonstrate the rotation of the Earth.

no, they are two entirely different things. i suspect this works because the electromagnetic nature of the sun.

"Suspect" is irrelevant in science. Test it. Perhaps a Faraday cage and a dark room might work?

Boom. Practical test for your hypothesis.

that or make the pendulum out of wood.

all science starts with an idea, then ends with a test. that is all science is.

for me it was a gyroscope... and the path of the eclipse.

and S shape makes no sense, I can't see it in my head, but when you place the path on a flat earth, a near perfect circle does the eclipse make.

so when things start falling into place, you can be sure you are on the right path, for the globe earth theory to work... bunch of mental gymnastics and mind-bending explanations are needed. i won't bend my mind, i spent forty years believe the earth a globe, then an explanation that makes far more sense comes along, trust me I didn't want to believe it, I thought it was a joke, but then I started to see, it made far more sense than what i'd been taught, it was plain to see.

Flat earth makes no sense, it explains none of our observations and data. The data and observations directly contradict the flat earth conjecture. The flat earth model becomes more and more convoluted as it used to explain more and more data. It devolves into nonsense very quickly.

Flat earth makes no sense

because your mind is filled with globes, and you won't even try and test the alternatives.

The data and observations directly contradict the flat earth conjecture.

thanks for stating vague facts without and support. suddenly you forgot how science works?

The flat earth model becomes more and more convoluted as it used to explain more and more data.

vague, vague, vague...

It devolves into nonsense very quickly.

you mean like this post? that is what globe theory devolves into when put under intense scrutiny.

speaking of devolving into nonsense, the eclipse path makes an S shape on a globe earth, and a circle on a flat earth.

I'm going with the circle. because an S shape makes NO SENSE AT ALL. Therefore, the globe theory is nonsense.

If you need to learn the specifics of the mountains of data we have, check out this site: https://www.khanacademy.org/

i don't need your mountain of nonsense. bring something hear that proves we need it.
