There are people who believe that the Earth is still flat, right?

How do they explain the Coriolis Effect?

Have they ever been asked this question? What was their answer?

I don’t know. Probably something stupid that could technically work, but is too...well...stupid to be true.

They believe the Earth does rotate, but it’s just a flat disc.

I believe the coriolis effect would still apply in this situation

The Coriolis Effect would differ greatly from a flat disk to a Sphere spinning.

It wouldn’t work the same.

But it would still work.

But whatever the issue they probably ignore it. Just like they ignore every other bit of evidence suggesting the Earth is a sphere.

It wouldn’t work though.

Artillery Bombardments can go as far as 120KM+

You have to calculate the Coriolis Effect, at such a great distance it can easily shift the artillery WAY of target.

The calculations would work in a sphere-shaped planet. But once you try to use it on a flat planet that spins like a clock, it just won’t work.

Mainly because you have to take into consideration the curve of the Earth for long distances and the earth spinning below the artillery (depends on what Hemisphere and what direction you are pointing).

This just wouldn’t work on a flat planet.

But yeah, they’d prob give out some lame excuse. Like it’s all a conspiracy or something.

How do they explain circumnavigation being possible in both East-West directions and North-South directions?

Planes and boats do a U-Turn, but passengers still think they are going in a straight line.

It’s all a government conspiracy, to keep us thinking the world is round. >_>

Bullcrap. Anyone that thinks that has obviously never flown in a plane.

Basically, anything that cannot be explained by their theory is actually a conspiracy.
