Earth-is-stationary Proofs
April 5, 2015 at 4:51 pm
http://www.genesis-creation-proof.com/Ea...onary.html
As recently posted on a christian forum, I would like to present the extreme of xtian stupidity. These people need our help.
Therefore, we have seen an Earth-is-stationary proof. If the Earth was rotating about its axis, someone in Quito, Ecuador would be traveling twice as fast from west to east as someone in Oslo, Norway – at any moment, and at every moment. Meanwhile, someone looking at the proverbial North Pole, would hardly be moving at all! But is that reality?
It takes just as long to travel 100 miles by air due east of Oslo, Norway (traveling at a set air speed) as it does to travel 100 miles by air due west, at the same air speed and altitude, if it is a calm day without wind. 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.
And consider the following:
We are told that he earth is moving very fast but that we do not feel the motion. If that was true, it would mean that the air is moving at the same speed as the part of the Earth that it is next to. Thus, the air at Quito, Ecuador is moving twice as fast as the air at Oslo, Norway.
But if the air at Quito is moving twice as fast as the air at Oslo, that would create the following “problems” that are not supported by reality:

Edit Reason: fixed it.
)
The Earth rotating 1,040 mph
The Earth rotating around the sun 30 km/sec
The reason why it looks stationary to us.
centrifugal force and a combination of gravity.
I.E. Simpler Terms
We are attracted to the center of the Earth due to gravity.
Centrifugal force also plays a part as well as friction.
Centrifugal force and friction work in tandem without atmosphere we wouldn't have oxygen or even whether, because we have a atmosphere why we have weather.
Going to the part why we do not feel the motion of the earth traveling so fast.
We not feel it because the speeds are constant and if we did we wouldn't be alive at the moment.
The acceleration of the spinning earth away from your feet is, at the equator, about .02 m/s^2. It's swamped by the gravity, about 9.8 m/s^2. You don't feel a difference like that, though it shows up on a scale or an bathroom scale.
i hope this clears that up for you.

I used to wonder the same when I was 5. If I dropped something in the back of a car going 60 mph, why was it not immediately pressed against the seat back? I didn't get my answer until I was a teen when I read popular books about relativity. It's understandable that an adult not into science might wonder the same thing but once explained to them, it should be clear. If it is not, they do NOT require our help. They require the help of a neurosurgeon. 
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Coriolis effect.
It's why tornadoes almost always spin the other way round in the southern hemisphere. Stupid christer fucks.

My bad and also theists really need to google shit for their own sakes and mostly ours.

The difference in airspeeds north and south of the equator is what causes the specific rotational direction of tropical storms (not tornados), which is the 'coriolis effect'.
The key to the Coriolis effect lies in the Earth’s rotation. The Earth rotates faster at the Equator than it does at the poles.

Anyone who believes this to be true has never flown on Avianca Ecuador.

We can define the earth to be stationary if we introduce weird coriolis and centripetal forces as real forces, which let the universe rotate about earth once every 24 hours. So when we say that the earth is not stationary, what we really mean is that the laws of physics are vastly simpler in one specific coordinate frame in which earth rotates with a certain speed. It's more subtle that people usually admit.

A related thing, I can prove that the earth is flat.... railway lines are flat and they never leave the surface of the earth (except for bridges and tunnels)
