Flat Earthers Cannot Comprehend Simple Motion

Ғылым және технология

A recurring conundrum that appears to vex flat-Earthers is the fact that, while the planet's rotation results in a tangential velocity at the Earth's surface of 1,000 mph, we don't have issues moving around. They're perplexed that the atmosphere rotates along with the rest of the planet. In their view, the atmosphere should be stationary and the wind should be blowing at 1,000 mph. They're further baffled as to why flights have the same duration East to West as West to East, and why, when we jump up into the air, we don't land hundreds of feet away.
Meanwhile, jugglers such as Peter Rosendahl don't seem to have any issues with all this motion, even when performing their acts on cruise ships to further complicate things.

The footage of Peter Rosendahl performing his act is pretty grainy. I checked Mr. Rosendahl's website but video wasn't available there.

The full "Planetary-Style Fluid Dynamics" demonstration video can be found at the link below. I only inlcluded a short segment of it. It's a very good demonstration by Jonathan Aurnou & John Cantwell of UCLA Earth & Space Sciences Simulated Planetary Interiors Lab (spinlab).

I'm not sure which nutter video I pulled the flat-Earth documentary footage out of. I have found the same footage in a dozen or so Flat-Earther videos. The origin of the footage, however, is a film called "In Search of the Edge" which was intended as "A lesson in critical thinking and media literacy."
From the link provided below:
"This is an essential lesson in media literacy for a generation plugged into television. Provoke critical thinking in your students and help them to become aware of the devices used in documentary media; the history of scientific paradigms; and their own willingness to take things at face value. "

Amusingly, I could not find the source of this documentary footage for some time and I assumed it was intended to be serious since I only encountered the footage on conspiracy theory websites.

    They can't tell the difference between momentum, centrifugal force, angular speed and linear speed, acceleration and the resulting effects like Coriolis force. I had a lot of discussions with flat earthers and they where either unwilling or incapable of understanding the basic principles.

    Your complete lack of understanding in their arguments is amazing. Focus on the things you find absurd before actually investigating why they came to those conclusions. If youd like to make a comment on a group of people then you should probably research why it is they think how they do. Ignorance i see in this video post. A good debunker first understands the argument. An idiot will say whatever he believes to be true. Youve offered no scientific proof of what you had to ssy. This was a waste of your time.
