no no no. why are you bringing up GPS? no one brought up GPS? comparing GPS to a SHIPS GYRO COMPASS is like comparing a Slide rule to a computer, Do you think Slide rules are faked too? What happened to being open minded? Magnetic declination has NOTHING to do with A Ship GyroCompass, a Ship GYRO compass only points Truth north, it is NOT effected by magnetism at all. No one mentioned magnetic declination, in fact your statements show you don't know what the hell you are talking about
what happened to your open mindedness? a Ship's Gyro Compass will literally ONLY WORK on a rotating spherical earth. It contains NO computers, NO electronics of any kind besides a simple motor.. IT is a Large spinning wheel (a gryo) in a cage, with a small weight on the bottom, They have been in existence since 1852, and on Ships in the early 1900's, Nobody designing these things thought about "how can we fool them about the flath earth", the designs are there for everyone to see, and they work through the beauty of physics. the same immutable physics that every machine on the planet works with, the same that allow your car to go, your bike to roll, your helicopter to fly, everything, Physics given to us by God if you want to put it that way.
the same basic principals allow that Ship's Gyro compass to Always point True north, through purely mechanical means, but means that ONLY work on a rotating round earth. 1000's and 1000's of these compasses have been made, all operating perfectly on a round ocean, with no computers in sight. It is a Practical invention that has been used in navigation for Hundreds of years, are these sailors all liars too?
Your argument that these have been made to "feign" round earth is laughable, and it goes back to my original conclusion, flat earthers Can't Think. they Can't reason, they can't hypothesis, they aren't worth arguing too They don't want to think. educate yourself https://www.britannica.com/technology/gyrocompass
btw, i'm leaning towards you just being a troll, i'm annoyed at myself for getting caught up in this crap, i wanted to do some Skyrim VR last night. all the other stuff you said about telescopes and 3-6 mile distances is too easy to disprove, and is laughable, so i'm not getting into it. FOCUS on the Gyro compass.. i was hoping you would come up with something Clever about it, but you failed, if you aren't a Troll, i'm just sad.. thou a Ship's Gryo compass is basically Irrefutable proof, however that requires an understanding of how they work, which you don't have,
why don't you bring this up with that 3 bit conman? maybe you can spend a few days figuring out a rebuttle that actually makes partial sense. I know that a Ship's Gryo compass has never been brought up in flat earth discussions before, it completely destroys FE. it is just too complicated for FE's to understand thou
Let's end this smart guy, before you blow a gasket. You're losing your marbles. If you don't agree with this, which everybody does I've ever interacted with, then you must have some type of comprehension disability. ) We'll use the United States and Western Europe as our reference point. The earth is said to be spinning somewhere between 700-800 MPH in these latitudes. Right? So we'll just have fun with the average 750 MPH.
Next we're told that the "atmosphere" is magically velcroed to the surface of the earth and that they are both moving together in unison. Right?
As redonkulous as both of these nonsensical ideas are, I'll assume they're true for the following proof that ends the globe THEORY.
We now have an "atmosphere" moving 750 MPH, West to East. Thus, it would be absolutely impossible to fly an airplane from NY to LA against a 750 MPH headwind. Not only would that take enormous amounts of fuel and power, but the airframe of any modern jet could not withstand those forces. Add to that, the plane would have to be traveling greater than 750 MPH to even get off the ground headed in this direction. And as we both know, the top speed of commercial jets at 30,000+ feet is at most around 550 MPH. That's 200 MPH short of gaining any distance against the 750 MPH rotating earth and it's velcro'ed atmosphere.
If you try to argue that the atmosphere isn't glued to the globe and is stationary in comparison to the 750 MPH spin, then you've got a new problem. I should be able to float up in a hot air balloon in NY and just wait a couple hours for LA (or SF) to just spin right under my hovering baloon. Either that or, it would be impossible to travel from LA to NY as the spinning globe underneath you is moving 200+ MPH faster, west to east, then you can fly at top speed in a commercial jet. You could never catch up with the globe. And likewise, you should be able to fly from NY to LA in less than 2 hours as you would pick up 1500 miles alone in 2 hours from the rotation.
Either one or the other is true - moving or non-moving atmosphere. Either way, one of the two scenarios cannot be justified.
You can't make sense of it man. I suppose you could try all you want. But I've shut down more globers with this argument alone. They've got no comebacks.
But as passionate as you are about defending the globe, I'm sure you'll try.
So please, make a sensible argument opposing the above scenario(s). I'm all ears. Waiting to be enlightened. How do you explain this most obvious problem?
