99% of Flat Earth Scientists agree the earth is flat.

Flat Earth Scientist: one who believes the earth is flat.

Environmental Scientist: one who believes in "global warming" and "climate change."

What about 1% of them? How can they be called Flat Earth scientists if they don't believe in a flat Earth?
What does a flat Earth religion have to do with climate?

99% sounds better than 100%.

Same logic.

Flat is sort of a relative term, probably some disagreement with how flat. Some, may think flat, like a beer bottle cap, others might think flat, like an M&M.

Nope. Environmental scientists are scientists who study environments.

Climate Scientists are not scientists. They are the ones who believe in a global climate called Climate and in the grand violation of physics called Global Warming.

Can you prove the Earth isn't flat?

That depends.

I can demonstrate that the earth rotates in a cave without reference to the sky.

It is easy.

Interesting. How would you determine the direction of rotation?

Actually, run me through your experiment, step by step if it's not too much trouble. Maybe it will jog my mind for a different problem I am trying to solve.

So the joke was based on:

Clockwise/Counter Clockwise are dependent on having a primary side, top/front/face, to the plane you're rotating on. If a clear glass clock is looked at from the back it will run backwards.

So it's only clockwise if you assume that the north pole is up, the plane of rotation being the equator.

So, going back to Tim the Plumber's assertion, would you be able to tell how the earth is rotating were you in a cave with only basic things like rocks, sticks, leaves, dirt, branches(wood), rope, knives, animal skins, flint, etc...

Ah!

No, If I were in a cave I would have a much longer list of things I couldn't figure out leading up to something like the rotation of the earth.

I would have to outside, accept that the Earth was a spinning ball, know my north form my south, and the sun rising in the east and setting in the west would be enough to feel I got it right.

By the direction the fall of the plumb bob went.

That is it will land east of the point it dropped from.

You can work out the latitude of your position from it as well.

The detail of the experiment is this;

Using a tall room, or cave, anywhere you can close the windows and make sure that the wind is not a factor.

Have a hook or something you can pass a thread over as high as possible.

Take a heavy small ball, something like a lead ball of 2 inch diameter is the idea but whatever, a large ball bearing will do. Or a cannon ball if you have one.

Taking a thread, as thin as you can whilst still being able to lift the ball, tie the ball onto the thread and pass it over the hook. You will want to start the ball a low level.

Have a sand tray or something similar on the floor so you can lower the ball onto it slowly. You will find it will swing about, you will have to steady it. lower the ball onto the sand tray and mark the position. Some lines in the sand will do. This is by definition the point directly below the hook.

Take the ball up to the top of the room by pulling the tread over the hook. It will swing about again. You will have to stop it and allow to settle.

Using a lighter or candle flame cut the tread between the hook and the ball. This is to ensure that you do not impart any sideways motion to the ball.

It will land on the sand tray east of the point that was directly below the hook.

This happens because the ceiling is moving east faster than the floor. So the ball will fall vertically due to gravity but retain its' eastwards velocity.

The period of time it takes to drop compared to the distance away from the vertical below hook position will give you a way to calculate the difference in eastward velocity.

OK If that does work that's pretty cool. I tried to find this any links?

It will work. You need a 2 story room or some such. Otherwise the difference is a bit too small to see easily.

I did the math in IBdamann's thread on this. other thead Came out to 0.18 MM difference with a 4.9M fall.
