Excerpts from here.
Hate to break it to you but the earth doesn't rotate. (This information has been available since the late 19th century, but was made definitive and irrefutable in 2013. Most people don't care; only scientists and physicists who believed the opposite for so long. Half of them accepted the evidence with wonder; the other half were so surprised...and so angry and outraged from having this data staring straight at them, instantly having doubt cast on their careers, their lives and their very foundation of beliefs, that the term "Axis of Evil" was re-coined, in reference to the CMB map that's been stirring the whole pot since the 1970's lol.) The first question, of course, is ALWAYS about Coriolis. Coriolis is caused by...something else lol. Think relativity, since Einstein wrote it to support both scenarios, as he knew no one would believe the true case lol...and it is there that we find Scotty's equation for transwarp beaming summed up in a nutshell. :DGrimer wrote:But you ARE on a rotating space station.

Your toothbrush doesn't fall straight down on Planet Earth.and got out of bed and while still half asleep you dropped your toothbrush:
"Hey! Why did my toothbrush not fall straight down?"
But you fail to notice it because the deviation from straight-downess is so small that it's below your threshold of perception.
You are very small compared to the size of the earth.
If the space cadet is very small in relation to the size of the space station then he will not notice the deviation from straight-downess either.
Like the people who were first told that the earth went round the sun you are having difficulty in changing your point of view, Furcurequs.
Why?cloud camper wrote:I think it rotates.
Is it impossible for the sun to move around the earth?cloud camper wrote:Well, an hour ago it was dark and now it is light. That tells me something is moving around out there. Unless the sun is rotating around the earth! But I think that has been resolved.
All of our planets orbit the sun, while the solar system, which includes the sun and the planets that orbit it, rotates around the earth. Yes, the word "around" is emboldened because it is not an orbit.cloud camper wrote:So the earth has it's own sun but all the other planets got left out? That's not fair!
Earth is at rest. It isn't moving. At all. It really is at rest. There is no CF to get confused lol.[/b][/url]agor95 wrote::-) I really can not compete with your analysis; other than to say as the universe rotates and the earth stands still C.F. is created in confusion and pulls on the chain. Then all our hopes fly off, flush down, the pan of insanity. :-D
