Kyrie Irving believes the Earth is flat

[faustian]

Also wind moves West to East. So if you're flying East to West you're flying against the wind

Earth is flat continue to do research. The answers are out there. Any questions go ahead and ask.

Dude, you said people in Australia are standing upside down and questioned why blood doesn't run to their heads. I have absolutely nothing to learn from you. Ever.

Not true. A toilet or sinks drains based on the shape of the basin not because of the Earth's rotation.

this is the only correct thing you have posted. It's actually a combination of the basin/bowl and drain.

Lake Okeechobee at ground/sea level

You can't see the shore and there's nothing in the way to obstruct your vision


Lake Okeechobee from an aircraft

You can see from shore to shore


And these aren't doctored photos as part of the conspiracy. I myself have looked at a water horizon from one shore, and have also seen both shores from a plane

As I told someone else if the Earth were truly rotating West to East then Westward flights would be MUCH shorter and no one would do an Eastward flight unless the destination was very close because Eastward flights are traveling with the rotation of the Earth.

An aircraft on the runway is moving at about 1000mph relative to the centre of the earth but 0mph relative to the surface. When it takes off in an easterly direction it is going about 300mph relative to the surface of the earth and 1300mph relative to the centre of the earth. The aircraft upon takeoff doesn't lose all the kinetic energy it had while sitting on the runway

Not true. A toilet or sinks drains based on the shape of the basin not because of the Earth's rotation. If the Earth's rotation controlled something as simple as the movement of the water in your toilet or sink drains then there should be no still body of water on the planet.

This one is so elementary that the Simpsons did a gag about it. You're reaching man

"You can see further because you are higher"

No shit that's what I said. If the earth were flat the height you're viewing it from wouldn't matter

But you can see further the higher you are. Why is that?

The lowest level of the atmosphere is the atmosphere is also the most densest. The troposphere is the densest so if you go higher you see further for that reason and the fact that the higher you are the further you can see there are less obstructions. I really have no idea what you're getting at here.

Posting from Australia and curious about this theory?

 

[Scyther]

If you're going straight east or west, the effect disappears altogether. The Coriolis effect exists because the equator is spinning much faster than the poles. It's greatest going south to north or vice versa because your natural momentum if you take off at the equator is taking you west much faster than the Earth is spinning 20 degrees of latitude north of it. Going straight east or west your momentum never differs from your path.

And snipers are dealing with a very limited field. They just memorize based on degree and distance. They don't have to make complex calculations.

1. So if these calculations are not complex then what are these calculations that these snipers are using? Also, there are plenty of amateur shooters I'm sure they use the calculations as well. Something you haven't addressed that I asked before is how does one that it is not the wind that effects the trajectory of the bullet instead of this mythical Coriolis effect.

2. Why is there no difference for humans if the equator is spinning much faster then the poles?

3. How can you prove the Coriolis effect is greater going South to North? You just say it as if it's true.

4. You still haven't provided a direct answer. How does your momentum at all stop you from arriving at your destination if you went westward rather then eastward.

So if I stand on my hands in Antarctica I'm right side up right? So how can blood rush to my head just a simple question from a person who knows nothing.

 

[Scyther]

This is a fact.

The lowest layer of the atmosphere, which lies next to the Earth's surface, is called the troposphere. the densest atmospheric layer and contains almost 90% of theatmosphere's total mass. Has almost all of the Earth's gases, weather, and life-forms.

I'm not sure blood is getting to your head right now.

 

[faustian]

Syther do you realize that if you're looking at Lake Okeechobee from a plane you're looking at it through the troposphere?

You know what nevermind

An aircraft on the runway is moving at about 1000mph relative to the centre of the earth but 0mph relative to the surface. When it takes off in an easterly direction it is going about 300mph relative to the surface of the earth and 1300mph relative to the centre of the earth.

This makes no sense in your scenario the plane would not keep that energy either. It would take off and the Earth would easily outpace it because it's only moving at 300 mph. Whereas, if the plane flew the other opposite direction it would just need to let the Earth rotate underneath it and the job of getting to it's destination would be much simpler.

On top of that if the plane were flying against the rotation of the Earth in your model and somehow it held onto all that kinetic energy and was REALLY moving at 1,3000 mph rather then 300 mph then it should still arrive faster then the eastbound flight because it's destination is moving toward it.

If you want to say that the water in a toilet or a basin is not affect by the shape of the basin then you should talk to your fellow globe Earth who disagrees with you.

this is the only correct thing you have posted. It's actually a combination of the basin/bowl and drain.

Here's a video on the subject.

Hold the door, once he explains his theory on Australians having blood rush to their heads because they're upside down, I'm out as well.

 

[Scyther]

double post.

That's obvious. There are thing such as clear days. But as I've been saying all along (which you seem to have missed) that what is your point saying that the higher you are the further you can see. This would occur on a flat plane what point are you trying to make here. I tried to give you some answers to go easy on you but you don't seem to realize that. Perhaps we have had some misunderstanding along the line that we both missed.

Serious question. This should be simple enough to answer.

No, numbnuts. The kinetic energy is still going with the rotation of the Earth, which is also moving, no matter which way you take off.
