Have you ever seen one of those pendulums in museums? You can actually see the pendulum path move around an arc as the earth rotates beneath it.
That's as real world as you can get. You actually see the earths rotation.This has no practical application in the real world. This effect is not observable in real world physics because the earth is flat and stationary.
Why is it when a jet is circling an airport, preparing to land, on a very clear day, passengers in the jet looking out a window are unable to observe the earth rotating beneath them at 1,040 MPH?

Go take a physics class and then you'll know why.
the same reason why it is perfectly safe for you to stand on a flatbed truck (just behind the drivers compartment) and jump up, without risking falling off behind the truck: Physics
You're very gullible man. People have given proof after proof that you're wrong... why do want the earth to be flat anyway? What's the purpose of this flat earth conspiracy? What's so terrible about believing the earth is round?The earth is motionless.

God sits on the CIRCLE of the earth, not the PLANE of the earth. He created a round earth.God created the flat earth. I worship God.

If the earth and the atmosphere is moving in the opposite direction the flatbed truck is moving, if a person would stand on a flatbed truck (just behind the drivers compartment) and jump up, they would fall off the truck.

google "relative motion"
the plane & the atmosphere the plane is in are all rotating along with the whole earth. through space. there's nothing in space to create resistance/friction to counteract this rotation -- so it's not like sticking your hand out a car window. no one "feels" the motion -- but it can be observed through something in free-fall, like a pendulum![]()
i'm not posting replies for Spherical's sake -- we're done with him. this whole theory was debunked back on page 2, and got repeatedly debunked for 9 or 10 more pages afterwards. actually it's been brought up (probably by Spherical under different usernames, who were subsequently banned for one reason or other) several times over the years i've been here. it's been thoroughly debunked every time, and the people who bring it up are always the same -- willfully blind, ignoring all the counterarguments, willfully ignorant, just pushing their little god... because this idea is a god to them. he's not here to talk about Christ at all. just look at his post history.
he's willfully blind & ignorant to all that. his little idol is more important to him than what the truth is. no use in talking to him at all.
it's for the sake of anyone who actually uses their brain and isn't sure why the physics works the way it does![]()
The wind is not moving 1,040 Miles Per Hour.
this is a profoundly ignorant statement from someone who thinks he is teaching us how the universe works. at least you're not the one who claim that you have an "exceedingly great knowledge and understanding of physics" i guess..![]()
the atmosphere and the truck are all moving together.
if it worked the way you describe it, then you should verify what you are saying like this:
get in a car and drive west or east at 70mph.
hold your phone out, and drop it.
if physics worked the way you're describing it, your phone should fly into the windshield or rear window at 70mph and shatter into many pieces.
guess why it doesn't?
that's exactly the same reason that we don't notice the speed of the earth's rotation while we are on it.
now, if the truck accelerated while you were in the air ((or if the earth's rotation accelerated)) this would be a different story.
Have you ever seen the earth rotate?
get in a car and drive west or east at 70mph.
hold your phone out, and drop it.

People who believe the earth is a globe are claiming the earth rotates at 1,040 MPH in only one direction. If the earth were a globe, the atmosphere and the truck can't move together in all directions if the atmosphere is move 1,040 MPH in only one direction.
