I'm challenging xCivicx to A Debate About Flat Earth

[the cac mamba]

some of the dumbest shyt ever. you can literally watch, with your own eyes, as you see more and more of the moon every month; the reason it happens and looks that way, is because the earth and moon are spheres

You should already know better at this point

If an object is 200,000+ miles away from the earth, in space, then there should be no reason why you are able to observe blue sky THROUGH AND BEHIND said object

sorry, but i'll take the word of the scientists who made planes and satellites and internet work, including the phone you're typing on.

you retards can't even explain why they would lie about it

Now hold these Ls while I watch my Lakers play.



I'll be byke.

repped just off the strength of being such a high effort post, i believe he even brought the ring light out

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

You folks been arguing with this smooth brain nikka all these years?

Because the Earth rotates on its axis, circulating air is deflected toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection is called the Coriolis effect.

CORIOLIS FORCE
In physics, the Coriolis force is an inertial or fictitious force that acts on objects in motion within a frame of reference that rotates with respect to an inertial frame. In a reference frame with clockwise rotation, the force acts to the left of the motion of the object. In one with anticlockwise (or counterclockwise) rotation, the force acts to the right. Deflection of an object due to the Coriolis force is called the Coriolis effect. Though recognized previously by others, the mathematical expression for the Coriolis force appeared in an 1835 paper by French scientist Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis, in connection with the theory of water wheels. Early in the 20th century, the term Coriolis force began to be used in connection with meteorology.

In short this means that while standing on the earth's surface, you're rotating at the same rate of speed as the earth(1000 mph eastward at the equator, with that number reducing the further away from the equator and the closer to the poles that you move)

What this ALSO MEANS, is that once you LEAVE the earth's surface, you are no longer rotating at the same rate of speed as the earth's surface. Wind resistance(apparently) immediately slows your rate of rotation.

My question is this:

Say you're flying due north, from peru to ecuador(the equator). How does a plane flying 600mph directly north, land on an air strip moving 1000mph directly east? That kind of difference in force and direction should essentially destroy the landing gear on a plane, since they're mainly only reinforced for the direction that the plane is moving

Also, when landing during a flight, how come no one feels the immediate jolt of suddenly moving 1000mph east with the surface of the earth again?

I already explained this to you.


You are looking at the moon through the Earth's atmosphere.

The Sun is on the left side of the moon (our right side), so you don't see the right side of the moon (the left from our perspective).

You do not see "behind" or "through" the moon here. You are simply viewing the side of the moon that is in shadow, but through our own atmosphere.

You better than this, bro

What? I like debating, especially about scientific concepts. This is literally what I do all day for a living. I argue, it's kind of my thing.


If he's up for the debate, I see no reason not to continue.

conversation au momentum

aka

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_momentum

you see this effect when a car/bike hits a wall or when a pilot ejects out of a plane.

e.g.

if momentum was not conserved once the dummy left the bike it would stop moving.

Thank you.


This right here is why if the Earth stopped its rotation for any reason, we would all instantly be killed.

 

[Mike Nasty]

Well done, but he's going to counter with his misunderstanding of the Coriolis effect.

Thread sucks again

If the earth is spinning, why don't I get dizzy when standing still

Most people will not understand the depths and angles of this thread.
It is a lesson for the young people who want to drop out of school.
The internet scholars who know more than those who graduated or are professionals.
The ability to disagree intensely without violence or harsh feelings.


Stay in school, be civilized.
Shout out to everyone.
Much respect to @xCivicx and @Th3Birdman

The philosophers of old would meet in groups and discuss/debate
