Sierra Leone and New Zealand’s sunrise and sunset respectively

2019-11-06 00:00:43 UTC  

@🎃Oakheart🎃 they didn’t have the technology at the time

2019-11-06 00:00:55 UTC  

They used a gyrocompass

2019-11-06 00:00:55 UTC  

And how do you know this?

2019-11-06 00:00:59 UTC  

Fake.

2019-11-06 00:01:04 UTC  

How do you know they did?

2019-11-06 00:01:05 UTC  

Despite being near the equator, both would see the sun in the north

2019-11-06 00:01:08 UTC  

Because a magnetic compass would not work on a metal ship

2019-11-06 00:01:12 UTC  

Not sure, so it seems we are at an impass here.

2019-11-06 00:01:29 UTC  

A gyrocompass would not work on a flat plane

2019-11-06 00:01:43 UTC  

Who invented it?

2019-11-06 00:02:11 UTC  

Elmer Sperry

2019-11-06 00:02:17 UTC  

Had the original patent on it

2019-11-06 00:02:37 UTC  

And it saw its first use in 1906

2019-11-06 00:03:26 UTC  

I’m sure it’s been modified since then right?

2019-11-06 00:04:32 UTC  

Yes

2019-11-06 00:04:36 UTC  

They modified it a bit

2019-11-06 00:05:11 UTC  

It used to use mercury as a balance but then they modified it to use heavy oil as a balance

2019-11-06 00:05:50 UTC  

These things were used on all submarines in ww2

2019-11-06 00:06:01 UTC  

So the accuracy was heavily documented

2019-11-06 00:06:06 UTC  

Yeah and so were pendulums and occult items.

2019-11-06 00:06:14 UTC  

On the german side at least.

2019-11-06 00:06:30 UTC  

Any evidence to back up that claim

2019-11-06 00:07:10 UTC  

I do remember something about Germans trying to test a hollow Earth by aiming up to spy on the UK

2019-11-06 00:07:53 UTC  

those germans were into some interesting stuff

2019-11-06 00:08:03 UTC  

and then Operation Paperclip

2019-11-06 00:08:15 UTC  

the founding of NASA by all those German Scientists

2019-11-06 00:09:40 UTC  

I definitely prefer how the Soviets handled the old German regime

2019-11-06 00:10:03 UTC  

Nazis don’t get a pass 😤

2019-11-06 00:11:09 UTC  

and how about Operation fishbowl or Project Dominic or Operation High Jump

2019-11-06 00:15:33 UTC  

Pretty sure Russia also took scientists

2019-11-06 00:15:51 UTC  

What about them?

2019-11-06 00:15:55 UTC  

yeh I think they did too

2019-11-06 00:16:13 UTC  

but the one's that founded NASA were an interesting buncch

2019-11-06 00:16:28 UTC  

Von Braun

2019-11-06 00:17:19 UTC  

was the head

2019-11-06 00:17:24 UTC  

But I just want to know

2019-11-06 00:17:31 UTC  

How a gyrocompass

2019-11-06 00:17:39 UTC  

Could possibly work on a flat earth

2019-11-06 00:17:53 UTC  

I don't know tbh, it's one of those red herrings
