In January 2010, it was reported that Baumgartner ree fall from a balloon at 39km high, Felix Baumgartner’s high altitude balloon jump would end with him landing in the Pacific Ocean if the earth were rotating “If Earth were truly constantly spinning Eastwards at over 1000mph, during the Red Bull stratosphere dive, Felix Baumgartner, spending 3 hours ascending over New Mexico, should have landed 2500 miles West into the Pacific Ocean but instead landed a few dozen miles East of the take-off point.” "If “gravity” magically dragged the atmosphere along with the spinning ball Earth, that would mean the higher the altitude, the faster the spinning atmosphere would have to be turning around the center of rotation. In reality, however, if this were happening then rain and fireworks would behave entirely differently as they fell down through progressively slower and slower spinning atmosphere. Hot-air and weather balloons (40 km high) would also be forced steadily faster Eastwards as they ascended through the ever increasing atmospheric speeds." Believers in a rotating earth claim that gravity causes the atmosphere to rotate with the Earth they often claim “gravity” magically and inexplicably drags the entire lower-atmosphere of the Earth in perfect synchronization up to some undetermined height where this progressively faster spinning atmosphere gives way to the non-spinning, non-gravitized, non-atmosphere of infinite vacuum space. Such non-sensical theories are debunked, however, by rain, fireworks, birds, bugs, clouds, smoke, planes and projectiles all of which would behave very differently if both the ball-Earth and its atmosphere were constantly spinning Eastwards at 1000mph.” If Earth and its atmosphere were constantly spinning Eastwards over 1000 mph then clouds, wind and weather patterns could not casually and unpredictably go every which way, with clouds often travelling in different directions _see world weather video If “gravity” magically dragged the atmosphere along with the spinning ball Earth, that would mean the atmosphere near the equator would be spinning around at over 1000 mph, the atmosphere over the mid-latitudes would be spinning around 500 mph, and gradually slower down to the poles where the atmosphere would be unaffected at 0 mph. In reality, however, the atmosphere at every point on Earth is equally unaffected by this alleged force, as it has never been measured or calculated and proven non-existent by the ability of airplanes to fly unabated in any direction without experiencing any such atmospheric changes." If the earth-globe rotates on its axis at the terrific rate of 1,000 miles an hour, such an immense mass would of necessity cause a tremendous rush of wind in the space it occupied. The wind would go all one way, and anything like clouds which got ‘within the sphere of influence’ of the rotating sphere, would have to go the same way. The fact that the earth is at rest is proved by kite flying.” If the Earth were a spinning sphere westbound flights would reach their destination quicker than eastbound flights but The planes moving at a constant speed go faster in the West-East direction when they are moving with the jet winds or wind currents; learn what is jet winds bellow (so earth rotating east should create western wind…the opposite is truth1; Why? ; jet wind follow the Sun/ heat point) The northern Polar jet stream is said to "follow the sun" as it slowly migrates northward as that hemisphere warms, and southward again as it cools (wikipedia), Jet streams also "follow the sun" in that as the sun's elevation increases each day in the spring, the average latitude of the jet stream shifts poleward "If the Earth were constantly spinning Eastwards 1000mph then airplane flight durations going Eastwards vs. Westwards should be significantly different. If the average commercial airliner travels 500mph, it follows that Westbound equatorial flights should reach their destination at approximately thrice the speed as their Eastbound return flights. In reality, however, the differences in East/Westbound flight durations usually amount to a matter of minutes, and nothing near what would occur on a 1000mph spinning ball Earth." The jet wind speeds are greatest where temperature differences between air masses are greatest, and often exceed 92 km/h Speeds over 398 km/h have been measured.Polar jet streams are typically located near the 250 hPa (about 1/4 atmosphere) pressure level, or seven to twelve kilometres above sea level, while the weaker subtropical jet streams are much higher, between 10 and 16 kilometres It is impossible for the rotating atmosphere to be adjacent to the vacuum of space "If there were progressively faster and faster spinning atmosphere the higher the altitude that would mean it would have to abruptly end at some key altitude where the fastest layer of gravitized spinning atmosphere meets the supposed non-gravitized non-spinning non-atmosphere of infinite vacuum space! NASA has never mentioned what altitude this impossible feat allegedly happens, but it is easily philosophically refuted by the simple fact that vacuums cannot exist connected to non- vacuums while maintaining the properties of a vacuum - not to mention, the effect such a transition would have on a rocket “space ship” would be disastrous." Ursa Major should not be visible from latitude 30 degrees south on a spherical Earth Solar eclipses have been accurately predicted for thousands of years without the need for the heliocentric model Eclipses happen regularly with precision in 18 year cycles, so regardless of geocentric or heliocentric, flat or globe Earth cosmologies, eclipses can be accurately calculated independent of such factors The gradually changing constellations are not possible in the heliocentric model. The constellations have remained exactly the same for thousands of years which is not possible in an expanding universe "Throughout thousands of years the same constellations have remained fixed in their same patterns without moving out of position whatsoever. If the Earth were a big ball spinning around a bigger Sun spinning around a bigger galaxy shooting off from the Biggest Bang as NASA claims, it is impossible that the constellations would remain so fixed "If Earth revolves around the Sun it would actually be impossible for star-trail photos to show perfect circles even at the North Pole! Since the Earth is also allegedly moving 67,000 mph around the Sun, the Sun moving 500,000 mph around the Milky Way, and the entire galaxy going 670,000,000 mph, these four contradictory motions would make star-trail time-lapses all show irregular curved lines."
