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.

kind regards, Jonah The Scientist

Flat Earth NOT: trilobites still insisting that the Coriolis Effect is nonsense, but it definitely proves that the Earth rotates

Flat Earth trilobites* still insisting that the Coriolis Effect is nonsense, but it definitely proves that the Earth rotates

Coriolis - an effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is important in the formation of cyclonic weather systems.

-

In the northern hemisphere, note the counter-clockwise hurricane weather pattern rotation...

-

-

In the southern hemisphere, note the clockwise cyclone weather pattern rotation...

-

The current stationary flat Earth model does not explain the counter-clockwise or clockwise spin direction of severe storms at all.

Flat Earthers have the brains of a trilobite...

Trilobite, any member of a group of extinct fossil arthropods easily recognized by their distinctive three-lobed, three-segmented form. Trilobites, exclusively marine animals, first appeared at the beginning of the Cambrian Period, about 542 million years ago, when they dominated the seas.

To better understand what the Coriolis force is, and how/why it functions, watch this great video by George Hnatiuk

Airplanes and the Coriolis Effect, by BlueMarbleScience
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tw5xBjgWyk

"This is why we don't consider coriolis when we fly airplanes or helicopters."

Throw the ball and it travels in a straight line. But inside the spinning frame of reference it gets deflected to the right. That "apparent" force of deflection is the Coriolis.

For this trip..

The Coriolis force is only 2.2 pounds on the left side of the aircraft...

You can correct for this by banking the airplane 0.004 degrees.

That means raising the wing edge by only 0.17 inch.

So, since the Coriolis effect is so VERY VERY tiny, a correction is just ignored. It's so slight we don't take it into account. It makes no sense.

Instead, the flight path is adjusted as needed.

And concerning those hovering helicopter FE questions...
