A proof for the Stationary Earth, Part 2

[DesertBerean]

You really should check out the other thread more closely. For example, JM was talking about a plane flying, and lilpixieofterror has plenty of experience with aircraft. When it comes to satellites, in addiction to HMS_Beagle, I have plenty of satellite experience. I worked in satellite intelligence in the military, and I worked on satellite projects in private industry. I know about satellite propulsion and attitude control systems, which JM disbelieves in. I know about geosynchronous satellites, which would fall down if the Earth isn't rotating. Etc.

which still isn't most people. I'm privileged to know some, mostly from here and from work, that have to work with the concepts discussed here. Not everyone has that opportunity.

To be fair, JM clearly has no experience in anything he discusses. So it's not unreasonable for others with little or no experience to get involved in the discussion.

JM is not being reasonable perhaps on purpose. I just goggle at his tactics and reasoning. Well; until next time, peace reigns.

three so far. Beagle, Pie and Pai not pie (or is that Pai and "not pie" - that would be four). Man. you need therapy.

I dont know anyone that posted "text book" facts to JM. Everyone used actual math and physics to show him he is wrong.

I used mental arithmetic backed up by a calculator

[Roy]

I appreciate that, Sparko, but in refuting JohnMartin how many people actually did any testing?

I checked his calculations - does that count?

[Sparko]

but you learned the math from a ....textbook!

At least I'm not fattening. I hope.

hmm. Beagle pie. Interesting.

When your automatic transmission goes Tango Uniform do you have to do the repair job yourself with your first hand knowledge? Or can you trust an expert's opinion and skill set?

There are many documented instances where car mechanics have used a customer's lack of knowledge to charge for repairs that weren't required or never actually completed.
You may want to used a different example since this one works against your point about half the time.

In order to explain pro football to a non-american do you first need to have played pro football yourself to get first hand knowledge? Or will second hand knowledge of the rules and strategy do?

Most Europeans have a first hand knowledge of homoeroticism masquerading as a sporting event.

Say instead that most people don't know what the practical impact is. There's a reason certain issues are hotly debated, even if most people don't know what that reason is.

I think this is a reasonable clarification; however, whether or not the earth is rotating the phones do work hence the idea that the truth of whether or not the earth rotates is of 'no practical importance' to most people.
