As far as I'm aware
But not frequently
so do u see my problem with them
That being?
they are showing the motion of the earth the earth dont stop but they do
@Derek Nelson Derek, I found the document you took a screencap of
why would the pendulum stop if the earth is still moving
No need to respond, but once again, you're unaware of what the experiment was about
derek is done with u cause u brought up the coriolis effect only i am ridiculous enough to go down this road with u
nice calling einstein an idiot is probably the dumbest thing you can say because hes considered one of the smartest people to have ever lived
so why does thependulum stop if the earth is still spinning
@eletrick33 That's a stupid argument to make, no offense. I don't disagree, however, it is a logical fallacy as it comes from authority.
@jeremy Conservation of energy. The friction in the system eventually overcomes the momentum of the pendulum and stops it
so how can we be sure its showing us the spinning earth
if it stops idk
sounds fishy
When the swing is raised and released, it will move freely back and forth due to the force of gravity on it. The swing continues moving back and forth without any extra outside help until friction (between the air and the swing and between the chains and the attachment points) slows it down and eventually stops it
if it never stopped i would believe it but
Because it behaves according to our predictions of how the earth's spin would act.
Derek I swear if you keep making claims without evidence or understanding, you're not gonna like what's to come.
im not a scientist but if it needs to be restarted and can move in any direction
just the fact it needs to be restarted makes no sense
How does that disprove the experiment?
the spin of the earth is moving the pendulum right
No, it is influencing it. Totally different.
so the pendulum always swings the same way every foucault pendulum in the world ?
Yes.
derek just said it doesnt
u guys should hash this out my wifes giving me the angry face cause she knows im flat earth chatting
ill get up with u tomorrow maybe
Did he provide evidence?
He just said "it doesn't"
he posted a meme
Ah okay
Fair
No for the meme.
Memes don't prove anything.
i know but u are certain the all swing the same way ?
Well, depending on their coordinates, techincally yes
