And, what is more, that is the same length of time it takes to travel 100 miles due east or due west of Quito, Ecuador on a wind-free day, given the same altitude and air speed!
How is that possible?
The earth is not rotating at all.
Ah, the old "motherfucking magnets, how do they work?" argument.
This reminds me of the time I saw a couple of geocentrists try to disprove gravity so they could get around the earth revolving around the sun.
Fuck, man. Science is hard. I get that. So is cognitive dissonance. When those two mix, you get ICP and creationists.
