I just want one flat earther to tell me how a submarine in WWII was able to use a gyrocompass to navigate from america to europe

2019-11-11 22:22:50 UTC  

What calculations and experiments did you do to conclude the earth is spinning and how do you know these gyros were built using real world calculations and observations of a spinning earth to determine where true north is?

2019-11-11 22:24:11 UTC  

the mere fact that they had to design the gyrocompass with mercury weights that adjust themselves to adjust for precession

2019-11-11 22:25:08 UTC  

as for what i have done

2019-11-11 22:25:17 UTC  

i have been at the top of a mountain

2019-11-11 22:25:24 UTC  

and had to look down at the sun as it set

2019-11-11 22:25:53 UTC  

which would be impossible unless the earth was round

2019-11-11 22:25:55 UTC  

now

2019-11-11 22:26:00 UTC  

^^

2019-11-11 22:26:11 UTC  

how could a gyrocompass possibly work on a flat earth

2019-11-11 22:26:35 UTC  

So its just a fact to you because of mercury weights?

2019-11-11 22:26:49 UTC  

Interesting

2019-11-11 22:26:50 UTC  

yes

2019-11-11 22:27:12 UTC  

the mercury or oil weights that adjusted themselves based on rates of precession on each side

2019-11-11 22:27:16 UTC  

Ill have to look more into it. I just dont see how this proves the earth is spinning or round

2019-11-11 22:27:52 UTC  

Assumed precession which could be something else?

2019-11-11 22:27:55 UTC  

you would have to explain what on a flat earth is causing a 55 pound gyroscope to move against its momentum

2019-11-11 22:28:12 UTC  

I wouldn't have to explain it

2019-11-11 22:28:15 UTC  

You would

2019-11-11 22:28:20 UTC  

The earth is flat

2019-11-11 22:28:24 UTC  

at a rate that is perfect with where true north is

2019-11-11 22:28:26 UTC  

nah

2019-11-11 22:28:30 UTC  

you would have to

2019-11-11 22:28:34 UTC  

my claim is that the earth is round

2019-11-11 22:28:40 UTC  

Its your claim it works a certain way

2019-11-11 22:28:46 UTC  

and there is no force causing the gyroscope to move against its momentum

2019-11-11 22:29:02 UTC  

allowing it to maintain its own z axis

2019-11-11 22:29:37 UTC  

but your claim is that it is flat

2019-11-11 22:29:58 UTC  

so you would have to be the one that explains how a gyroscope could possibly be moved against its momentum

2019-11-11 22:30:08 UTC  

regardless of which direction the ship is moving

2019-11-11 22:30:12 UTC  

to always point true north

2019-11-11 22:30:25 UTC  

I can prove its flat through direct measurements and observations

2019-11-11 22:30:48 UTC  

You are trying to use indirect ways to prove the globe

2019-11-11 22:30:52 UTC  

you have gotten a 3 mile straight ruler?

2019-11-11 22:31:00 UTC  

Yes essentially

2019-11-11 22:31:10 UTC  

Its called binoculars and math

2019-11-11 22:31:22 UTC  

so you arent really measuring anything

2019-11-11 22:31:29 UTC  

Yes you are

2019-11-11 22:31:41 UTC  

Parabolic drop or lack of

2019-11-11 22:31:53 UTC  

so what did you do with the binoculars

2019-11-11 22:32:06 UTC  

What did 1000s of ppl do you mean?
