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.

i dont think foucault pendulum proves anything

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

so it depends where they are on earth

this seems suspicious imma look it up later

There's the article

You saw nuthing

Heh?

Shhhh

Hhh

Well.

Now I'm lonely

S a m e haha

You're a globe earther, right?

Yep
