I've seen a couple of jackasses out there on various media platforms (reddit) claiming they can prove the Earth is a spinning globe. The following are the best arguments they can muster, and they're weak arguments countered by a mountain of evidence the Earth is flat and motionless.
1. Claiming to Measure the theoretical rotation of the Earth:
Pros: They say a LASER or MEMS gyroscope can measure the rotation and provide a subtle 23 hour & 56 min measurement as proof.
Cons: The Michelson & Morley experiment failed to detect the motion of the Earth through the static aether (Sagnac, D&P) however, what they did detect was a small aether drift with a 23 hour & 56 min cycle. This aether drift is too small to account for the theorized rotation of the Earth but, it does explain the experimental results from the LASER and MEMS gyroscopes.
2. Claiming to observe the effects of a theoretical curvature of the Earth's surface:
Pros: They say the 15° per hour motion of the Sun observed from any point on the surface is proof of a globe.
Cons: The argument is only valid for disproving strawman Flat Earth models. Models involving a holographic Sun projected off of a mirrored dome (biblical firmament) explain the motion of the Sun with great precision.
There you have it, crème de la reddit hive-mind circle-jerk.

Funny how this guy doesn't know what the ancient greeks knew over 2,000 years ago. Hey buddy, was 9/11 an inside job and Sandy Hook a hoax too? Just testing out my own theory.... Either he's a terrific troll with a devastating amount of free time on his hands or... well there is no "or." ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F7gCJTPJ.jpg&t=665&c=hjPfmu6jr6hg3Q)

Wow, I just knew that in this forum also discussed flat earth, in Indonesia, I was also crowded with the video, Boos Darling, which had exposed propaganda, but personally I think everyone has the right to argue for their research and assumptions

The Flat Earth Society is controlled opposition to the globe. Leo "I'm a plant" Ferrari - Founder, The Flat Earth Society4. @Astargath no you didn't explain it, you posted memes and are unable to articulate your argument. You're asking the reader to believe the Earth is a globe based on unspecified equations and can't produce them for analysis. That's some nice fucking strategy to keep me from debunking the claims you copy&pasted. I can prove mathematically that adding more wells (or sticks) to Eratosthenes (was he even a real person?) experiment doesn't change the results, I can add any number of wells and the results are the same for a globe or a plane.

Not that it really matters, but I wonder if batshitcrazy's meds are flat disk shape or capsules.
Its kind of amusing that this batshitcrazy clown has to keep up/maintain this 600 page 3 year plus charade. Everyone in on the joke enjoys it. Well I do anyway. Thanx dude,well done. Keep it up. Whenever I pop in, I always get a good laugh. BTW... when are you starting "The moon is made of cheese" thread?

What are the odds the source of the Moon's image being holographically projected off of the domes concave mirrored surface is in fact, a hemisphere of fossilized cheese? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FZy5FULm.jpg&t=665&c=DMLL_D2cvcbKrQ)

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. About you. You're definitely trolling because I've never seen anybody work this hard to sound this stupid.

You're literally pulling a number out of your ass and calling it science.
I don't think you know what "literally" means, like everything else.. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Maybe whoever he's talking about literally keeps numbers up their ass in case of emergencies. Unfortunately, the definition of literally was changed a couple of years back. It now means nothing.
