Intuitive Proof #4 If The World Was Round The Coriolis Effect Would Prevent Bird Migrations

The above picture is a fanciful representation of the globular earth, and the supposed effect of its hypothetical rotation on the trajectory of a bullet. The Empirical Occult (science) maintains that this "coriolis effect" is true. However, if it were true, and the earth was round and spinning, bird migrations would not be possible. The earth should spin under them as they flew, just like it supposedly does for a flying bullet. Think about it this way: the earth spins under a bullet, which is in the air for a few seconds at best. Birds stay in the air for hours when migrating during spring and autumn. How could they find their way home if their destination was constantly moving away beneath them? [b]This just shows how much the Empirical Occult contradicts itself with its so called "science"[/b] [spoiler]The soldiers of truth and reason of the Flat Earth Society have drawn the sword, and ere another generation has been educated and grown to maturity, will have forced the usurpers to abdicate. Like the decayed and crumbling trees of an ancient forest, rent and shattered by wind and storm, the hypothetical philosophies, which have hitherto cumbered the civilized world, are unable to resist the elements of experimental and logical criticism; and sooner or later must succumb to their assaults. The axe is uplifted for a final stroke - it is about to fall upon the primitive sphere of the earth, and the blow will surely “cut the cumberer down!” [/spoiler]

    Did you know that when a plane flies the same way the earth rotates it takes longer tiger to its destination than when it flies the other way. Also when shooting at extreme ranges snipers do have to account for the Coriolis effect

            • You realize that birds are living being and not inanimate objects that can adjust for the spinning of the earth during their migration.

              • The bullet is an object that has a set path and cannot control its direction once fired. It goes from point A to B, simple as that as long as you're adhering to simple laws of physics. Birds are living organisms. They are gifted with flight that they can control. They can choose to alter their flight path and are not bound on a simple straight path from A to B. Therefore they can choose to counter the Coriolis effect. Airplanes are also able to alter their flight path due to mechanical power and counter the effect. Seeing the pattern here yet? It's why in all examples of the Coriolis effect objects like cannonballs or bullets are used as these objects can't alter their trajectory on their own once fired.

              • There are numerous other reasons why you're wrong, but one of them is because the earth moves... but really, really, really slowly.

                  • What? "Spins beneath them?" It's the same concept as jumping on a moving object. If I'm on a train and I jump, I don't land farther back on the train, since I'm still affected by the train's acceleration. We're [i]all[/i] affected by the earth's rotation. It's why planes have to provide thrust and lift to travel. If we could free ourselves from the earth's rotation by leaving the surface, taking a helicopter straight up into the air would be the easiest method of travel. Just let the earth turn beneath you.

                  • Can we just send this guy to space to put an end to all this? Heck give him a super hi-def camera too so he can record it himself. But i'm sure his eyes will somehow be lying and he will claim that his camera is rigged by the evil scientists. I mean seriously i don't blindly follow everything science comes up with but there are certain things that we know. And these posts continue to get more vindictive and attacking as if op is in a constant state of denial when presented with anything that doesn't fit in his bubble. That or he is so attention seeking he will align with anything to get noticed. Next he will be saying that water doesnt exist.

                    I don't think other people even understand what intuitive means: Intuitive means having the ability to understand or know something without any direct evidence or reasoning process. Intuitive: perceiving directly by intuition without rational thought, as a person or the mind. Intuitive: based on or agreeing with what is known or understood without any proof or evidence. So there is literally no point in trying to reason with you because you admit you are unable to reason, irrational, and ignorant. Yet people keep coming and posting. It's quite amazing. Edit: Also the definition of intuitive means there can be no such thing as an intuitive proof. Therefore all four of your "proofs" are irrelevant oxymorons. [b][u]without any proof[/u][/b]
