Meet the people who believe the earth is FLAT (vid)

For the less educated: Coriolis Effect.

Do your research! Flat earth is utter nonsense!

Okay, they look pretty much how I imagined, particularly the flat earth model maker, with no shirt, wearing a kimono, and rubbing his bare belly as he explained his position.

I imagine you could score any drug you wanted in that room.

Explain how the Coriolis Effect works for us simpletons please.

Coriiolis effect has been proven to be false. Research it for yourself. No one in the history of man have been able to measure any earth curviture. Again research it for yourself.
Science facts cannot be argued with, only theories, which is called Scientism because it takes faith to believe in them.

Ever notice how water goes down a drain is different if your either in the Northern or Southern hemisphere?

In physics, the Coriolis force is an inertial force[1] that acts on objects that are in motion relative to a rotating reference frame. In a reference frame with clockwise rotation, the force acts to the left of the motion of the object. In one with anticlockwise 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.

Simple. Science, it's great!

Uh, not true. Post your proof. I on the other hand have seen the effect. Science!

The direction water goes down a drain has absolutely nothing to do with which hemisphere you are in. That is a fairy tale and has been completely debunked.

You think a sniper has to take Earth's rotation into account when firing a long range shot, but airplanes going thousands of miles do not have to adjust for this?

Can somebody finally settle this question: Does water flowing down a drain spin in different directions depending on which hemisphere you're in? And if so, why?

Brad Hanson, a staff geologist with the Louisiana Geological Survey, presents the argument of why--in theory--water going down the drain would indeed spin in different directions depending on which hemisphere you're in.

The autopilot, with the help of the powerful computers and the auto-throttle, makes CONTINUOUS adjustments to speed, altitude and attitude of the aircraft so that it maintains a constant profile. So, whereas you are enjoying a warm meal and a movie onboard, the autopilot is constantly making minute adjustments to the speed and control surfaces so as to stick to the designated parameters. The adjustments are so minute that the passengers do not notice them, and the flight seems level.

Wow. Do you folks believe how dumb people are? Damn. The stupid it burns!

Key words in your little copy and paste job are "in theory". In reality we do not see this.

How can an airplane take off at the equator which is supposedly travelling at 1000 miles per hour and land in the North or South where the rotational speed is far less? The airplane has to take that inertia of the spinning globe with it when it leaves the ground, right? It would be impossible to fly West to East if it didn't. So how do planes land on runways facing opposite directions spinning at different speeds?

There is also the issue of planes flying level and not adjusting for curvature. Just to put it in perspective a plane flying 500 miles per hour would have to account for 31 miles of curvature in that 500 miles. That's a half mile per minute the plane would have to dip down during flight to maintain it's altitude above sea level.

I've been on many an airplane and you can really feel the plane's motion if it is ascending or descending. Do you think airplanes fly through the air in a continuous curve? People have taken spirit levels on planes and guess what? When the plane reaches altitude and levels off it does exactly that and the water in the level doesn't lie.

Yup they're the cooks, and you're right, that's so "ironic" because look at all the curvature:

This^^ just because "scientist" tell us something, and it becomes accepted as "scientific", if testing it by the scientific method proves otherwise, than I got news for you, IT'S NOT SCIENCE!

Why do you lie? Oh wait, because you're a flattie.

Anyone who starts off with an ad hominem attack you can just assume doesn't have any real substantial evidence to back up their attack, and chances are is either a shill or someone who's so emotionally attached to their beliefs they didn't do any real investigating.

In an airplane the effect is not noticed as the controls needed to keep the plane steady for wind and navigation are far larger.

If you're referring to me then you're wrong. I've researched both sides and found most often that flat Earthers don't really understand the subject they argue against. They also often have trouble visualizing anything in three dimensions.

An airplane works with lift opposing gravity. If the direction of gravity changes (as it would gradually do as it flies over the curved earth) then the aircraft would automatically orient itself with no input needed.

What the other guy said. "The Stupid... It Burns!"

Here's the thing, no one really knows what this place is or why we're really here.

Why do people get so upset just because someone else is entertaining an idea that our planet may just be a flat plane?

I don't trust scientists or anyone that the government or TV says I should trust. I don't trust YouTubers or their supposed research. Most of the time, I don't even trust information if it's labeled as non-fiction.

When I first took a look at all of this flat Earth stuff, I thought no way. I still do, but there's a part of my brain that says, what if. We should all have that. Trust no one, question everything.

I'm not saying scientist are right and it's a ball nor am I saying people like Eric Dubay are right. It's just something I find interesting because I've wondered what this place (Earth) truly is.

What about taking off and landing in locations where Earths rotational speed is hundreds of miles per hour different? Gravity can't help with that too, can it?

Those people either have serious mental problems, or they took too much!

Globetards are getting all loose in the bowels as their paradigm implodes along with NASA credibility. Instead of hanging their heads in shame, they double down on stupid.

Earth being a planet in space really doesn’t require any sort of ‘belief’..
On the other hand; a vast conspiracy comprising millions of co-conspirators over decades, while still leaving the most elementary celestial motions completely unexplained would require monumental suspension of disbelief.

This thread however, is merely to share Vice’s production showcasing these ermm ‘people’. I suspect most of the venders are merely playing a part to profit from peoples naivety .. much like many many people in the ‘conspiracy’ and alternative communities.

they don't travel there instantly. Plenty of time for adjustments of speeds.

Come on, people, there is nothing to adjust for because the atmosphere of earth moves with it.

No different than if I was to fly my drone inside an airliner moving at 500 mph. It would fly around the cabin of the aircraft exactly the same as if it were sitting still on the ground.

Why can't the flat dipshits understand this? Have you people ever been out of your Mom's basements

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Just to set the record straight. Are you saying I have two moms, or that my mom has two basements?

Two mothers. Being raised by lesbian women and no father has damaged your ability to think clearly.

Well at least they had measurable and verifiable curvature, unlike the oceans.
