How do Flat Earthers explain Hurricanes without Coriolis effect?

in #science6 years ago

Where I sit a big storm just starts to blow cats in the next thicket. Looking at the trees bend under the wind a thought crossed my mind: How do the Flat Earthers explain Hurricanes, or in general rotating winds and changing wind directions?

Because even if the flat earth would rotate, it would mean that the storms all travel outwards, to the rim of the disc, which they don't.
Also there would be no reason for High and Lows to rotate in opposite directions on one half of the disc then on the other.

Can anybody explain that to me?

Yours curiously, LennStar.

U cant use science to convince them

I read "can" and did

I think all flat earthers left the platform long time ago, so I don't think you will get an answer for that question anytime soon. I find it fascinating people still waste time with that nonsense.

I'm afraid they are still among us. :) Just yesterday I stumbled upon a weird flatearth video on dtube.

There were a lot just 3 month ago. I don't think they all fled.

Maybe they all went on a trip and are looking for the edge of the earth ;)

I hope they are careful. It is a LONG drop from the rim!

The Coriolis effect is not a thing (outside of the imaginary).

Means Flat Earthers have to avoid getting on carousels because they would disappear if moved by an imaginary force?

Centrifugal force is not imaginary. You're thinking of gravity.

Hmm, he asked you how you explain hurricanes swirling in opposite directions in the different hemispheres. You denied the coriolis effect, but failed to answer his question about what force or phenomenon occurs at the equator on a flat earth that suddenly makes these swirl in the opposite direction in the different hemiSPHERES.

Why is the equator on a flat earth a dividing line for this? What magic occurs there on a flat earth that makes things turn in opposite directions and people to see the moon and other constellations upside down?

And then there is this synchronized northern and southern hemisphere homegrown experiment showing water actually does swirl in opposite directions in the hemiSPHERES.
