Get off your seat.
Stand in the middle of the room.
Jump in the air as high as you can.
Notice that you land in the same place.
Now, if the earth was a big spinning ball like they say it is, you would land over to the side a bit.
Also, if you drive for ages and ages, you'll notice that despite the odd hill, you're basically always over flattish land. This is because the earth isn't curved. It's flat.
Global Sphericalism, in which my faith does not believe, is an elaborate hoax started many years ago. You just accept it through blind faith. You've never seen that the earth is round with your own eyes, have you??? Well? Have you?
Incorrect.
I will obviously not stand on the roof of a train, for safety reasons, and I hope this stunt is not carried out by younger members of the Answerbank. However, I have seen movies, where there are chases by people on the roof of the trains, and it is clear that where one person lets go, they go flying off the roof of the train backwards, and they do not hover in mid air over the train as your clever 'theory' suggests. Think again.
OK Marge I can see I'm going to have to spell it out.
You are standing on the plaform, I am on the roof of the train as it passes through the station. if you film me jumping up and down and then take each frame and plot where I am say put a dot where my head is you will see the path of the dot is a curve.
If you are beside the person in the train as you put it then you are moving with them so they just go up and down to you.
When you are standing on the train you are going at 0 relative to the train and 50 (say) relative to the station. So if you jump up you started at 50.
Speed is relative always. How fast are you going sitting at your computer? 0? yes relative to the floor but 60,000 relative to the sun.
Why does'nt that wasp in your car just hist the back window?
It's not my "clever" theory its fact it's called relativity, the bedrock of a lot of physics.
Are we learning yet?
Can someone else confirm this, I don't think I'm getting through!
