Are you going to offer me proof? Or ask me questions all night?

Fine.

Oh hey abaddon

yo derek off topic but do you go to dexter southfield

It compared the speed of light in perpendicular directions, in an attempt to detect the relative motion of matter through the stationary luminiferous aether ("aether wind"). The result was negative, in that Michelson and Morley found no significant difference between the speed of light in the direction of movement through the presumed aether, and the speed at right angles.

It NEVER talked about the velocity of the Earth; it just said that the speed of light doesn't alter in relation to the position its source finds itself in.

When it says "We found no difference in speed..."

Ok so the focault pendulum proves the coriolis force but isn’t that force having to do with atmosphere spinning different speed depending on north south

Holy crap, just found out that FTFE was arrested a while back for meth possession. That was why he was out for a few “episodes” he blamed it on his “pain.” It makes sense, something looked off a few shows. Fidgety, shaking, constantly rubbing his face, sweating, etc. I kinda feel bad for him.

It's not that it's stationary, it's just that the speed of light doesn't change relative to its position on the Earth.

Thus disproving the Aether.

I literally have no clue how you get a flat earth from this.

You’re conveniently forgetting to mention you’re using a theory to postulate your claim.

Thanks. 👍

@jeremy I think u should think about taking an intro to physics course online or at a local college it would answer a lot of your questions and if u went to the class in person u could go to the prof with any question u had and get good answers

Lots of the globe is theory on top of heart on top of theory

Coriolis force is from the atmosphere spinning different speeds as u go north or south no

@Derek Nelson Which theory?

?

Oof

oOf

"On top of a theory" *Which theory?*

OoF

Guys I ran out of milk :(

A theory is an observation of a fact. No more, no less.

Oh no

Hollow earth is fake prove me wrong

A theory is a belief.

It seeks to explain that fact to its best possible model;

@Derek Nelson And what belief?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_theory?wprov=sfla1

no a scientific theory is an explanation of a natural observation, a scientific law is an observation of a natural phenomenon

@Derek Nelson So you ignore the first definition to pick the one that suits you? Cha cha, real smooth

@Derek Nelson how about you look at the first one

Scientific theory is what scientists cite when they fail to prove a theory throughout by the scientific method.

Still didn't specify which theory

🍿

Y'all mind if I ***use the secondary definition***

i thinks thats called cherry picking
