Introduction

Dear Visitors,                                                                                                                                    April 21, 2017

Thank you for stopping at FlatEarthLunacy.com

As a scientist with college degree in Astronomy, minor in Physics and Mathematics, I was appalled to find folks telling outright falsities and presenting bad science to bolster suspicion of our known accepted reality - that the Earth is a beautiful blue globe.

This blog clearly shows scientific proofs that debunk everything that flat Earth proponents claim.  Here we also expose the comments those YouTube video channels delete, because they don't want you to see them.

The Earth is not flat.  That claim is a conspiracy theory perpetrated by ignorant people who have ulterior personal motives and agendas.

The Earth is a beautiful blue spheroid globe spinning on an axis 23.5° once each day, and orbiting the Sun every 365.25 days.

Rob Durham - Flat Earth and Rigidity in Space


Dear Rob Durham,

Fact check = You FAIL
Your statement at time mark 10:02, "Since 1960, at least it seems that, it's just been accepted as fact, without any actual proof."

Have you NOT researched modern electronics?
Nintendo has integrated a gyroscope into the Wii console's Wii Remote controller.

You must not have looked hard since internet sites, books and videos about gyroscopes are available everywhere.

Every day in high school science classes across the globe, the dynamics of circular motion, angular moment, gyroscopes etc, are demonstrated and tested by students.

University of Cambridge, Department of Engineering
Gyroscopes and Boomerangs, Dr. Hugh Hunt
http://www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~hemh1/boomerangs.htm

Some basic information for students...

Rigidity in space refers to the principle that a gyroscope remains in a fixed position in the plane in which it is spinning. By mounting a wheel, or gyroscope, on a set of gimbal rings, the gyro is able to rotate freely in any direction. Thus, if the gimbal rings are tilted, twisted, or otherwise moved, the gyro remains in the plane in which it was originally spinning.

Precession is the tilting or turning of the gyroscope axis as a result of applied forces.

Types of precession:
Apparent
a) Earth rate - as the earth rotates in 360° in 24 hours, a gyroscope will appear to tilt its spin access at 15° / hour. In actuality the gyroscope has maintained it orientation in space.
b) Movement - a gyroscope moved from the equator to a pole would appear to have tilted 90° due to the Earths spherical shape.

A torque (force) increases the angular momentum of an object, in the direction of that torque.
Torque = force times the distance from the rotating axis (r).
Force applied times the radius away from the turning axis.

Due to imperfections in a gyroscope, friction at the pivot points due to wear, etc., it may wander from its true orientation in space.

A power source is needed to spin and erect a gyroscope.

Application in aircraft:
Heading indicator
Horizontal situation indictor
Turn coordinator
Radio magnetic indicator
Attitude indicator

Text from (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscope)...

A gyrostat is a variant of the gyroscope. It consists of a massive flywheel concealed in a solid casing.

A MEMS gyroscope takes the idea of the Foucault pendulum and uses a vibrating element, known as a MEMS (microelectromechanical system). The MEMS-based gyro was initially made practical and producible by Systron Donner Inertial (SDI). Today, SDI is a large manufacturer of MEMS gyroscopes.

A fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) is a gyroscope that uses the interference of light to detect mechanical rotation.

The hemispherical resonator gyroscope (HRG), also called wine-glass gyroscope [contradictory] or mushroom gyro, makes using a thin solid-state hemispherical shell, anchored by a thick stem.

A vibrating structure gyroscope (VSG), also called a Coriolis vibratory gyroscope (CVG), uses a resonator made of different metallic alloys. It takes a position between the low-accuracy, low-cost MEMS gyroscope and the higher-accuracy and higher-cost FOG.

A dynamically tuned gyroscope (DTG) is a rotor suspended by a universal joint with flexure pivots

A ring laser gyroscope relies on the Sagnac effect to measure rotation by measuring the shifting interference pattern of a split beam of light as it moves around the ring in opposite directions.

A London moment gyroscope relies on the quantum-mechanical phenomenon, whereby a spinning superconductor generates a magnetic field whose axis lines up exactly with the spin axis of the gyroscopic rotor. A magnetometer determines the orientation of the generated field, which is interpolated to determine the axis of rotation. Gyroscopes of this type can be extremely accurate and stable.

More modern uses of the gyroscope...

In addition to being used in compasses, aircraft, computer pointing devices, etc., gyroscopes have been introduced into consumer electronics....

Examples of such applications include smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, HTC Titan, Nexus 5, iPhone 5s, Nokia 808 PureView and Sony Xperia, game console peripherals such as the PlayStation 3 controller and the Wii Remote, and virtual reality sets such as the Oculus Rift.

Nintendo has integrated a gyroscope into the Wii console's Wii Remote controller by an additional piece of hardware called "Wii MotionPlus". It is also included in the 3DS and the Wii U GamePad, which detects movement when turning.

Cruise ships use gyroscopes to level motion-sensitive devices such as self-leveling pool tables.

An electric powered flywheel gyroscope inserted in a bicycle wheel is being sold as a training wheel alternative.

Conclusion: YOU FAIL Do you not live in the 21st century, or is your head in the sand?
