Why can’t you fucking answer them any at a time? Fuck off.

I already did answer them - don't you remember? Of course not, because you just mindlessly copypaste this gish gallop for rhetorical purpose and don't have any earnest questions to ask.

Prove me wrong. Ask ONE earnest question; your best/most important question. Unless of course, you don't want answers to them...

Here: Why can I go either East or West from Toronto, and end up in Rome?

On a spherical earth, a gyroscope would detect a semi-constant acceleration towards the ground.

On a flat earth, a gyroscope would detect a semi-constant acceleration to the right or left, but none towards the ground.

What are the results of this experiment -- which is done every day via air-flight? I don't know, but I suspect that it's the former.

Regardless of the shape of the world, it would be because when you are traveling east or west you are actually traveling in a large circle with its center at the north pole.

On a spherical earth, a gyroscope would detect a semi-constant acceleration towards the ground.

Detect? All matter "detects" a semi-constant acceleration towards the ground in your view - doesn't it?

On a flat earth, a gyroscope would detect a semi-constant acceleration to the right or left, but none towards the ground.

The gyro (spin) - scope (see/view) was created for demonstrating the rotation (gyro) of the world - not its shape. If the world were flat, the gyroscope would behave exactly the same way it currently does and for the exact same reasons. Right?

Why do you think its function is dependent on the shape of the world?

What are the results of this experiment -- which is done every day via air-flight?

First of all, this is in no way an experiment - we are talking about mere observations. Secondly, the gyrocompass (and/or artificial horizon in an airplane) works - on that we can agree. Once again the question is why on earth you think that is dependent on the worlds shape. It isn't... and in the case of an airplane, which isn't even touching the ground, it is obviously doubly so.

I don't know, but I suspect that it's the former.

I'm not sure i'm fully understanding you. It seems you aren't properly understanding what the gyroscope is used for on airplanes. Maybe it will become more clear if you can answer some of the questions above.

In any case, your earnest engagement is appreciated!

Wrong.

Jack, I guess rather than gyroscope I should have said accelerometer -- so a device, such as a fiber-optic ring that will tell you your acceleration, both magnitude and direction.

In an airplane that's coasting, there is no acceleration, because gravity is balanced by lift. This is why you can walk in an airplane at cruising altitude. But once you hit turbulence -- well, fasten your seatbelt!

Now, if you're flying east-west on a 'Gleason map' flat-earth, then you have to constantly veer to the left to maintain the circle. You won't notice this effect physically, because it's small. But a sensitive accelerometer will detect it. This is the infamous 'centripetal acceleration' that people struggle with in uni!

Conversely, if you're on a Globe earth, you'll have to constantly veer downwards, otherwise you'd fly off into space. Again, you don't notice this effect, but an accelerometer would detect it.

I hope this clears up what I mean?

That’s nice. I’m sure you think you answered them, but you didn’t.

Can't you even remember? Or do you just prefer to forget so you can mindlessly spam this copypasta over and over again?

Go ahead, ask your best question (earnestly). Your questions are all trivial to answer.

Are you just afraid of ever receiving an answer, because then you couldn't spam anymore?

Literally no, but that’s also irrelevant because you’re a clinically insane paid shill and the Earth isn’t flat. No one gives a shit about your brain damage. Go back to your containment board.
