I'm curious to see the proposed test of raising a helicopter straight up in the air for 4 hours to see if it settles down in the exact same spot.
If it does it would prove the earth does not spin.
The helicopter would begin with the same angular velocity as the point on the ground that it launched from. It will not just go straight up, it will keep going in the direction of rotation. The force of gravity would pull it along while it maintained its height from the ground. I don't know how the math would work out with a change in height.
The rotation is 465.10 metres per second (1,674.4 km/h).
You really think the pilot never feels that his tiny helicopter is going over 1000km/h???
If your theory is true, how can a helicopter sustain that (1,674.4 km/h) when he turns?
