I find it hilarious that every Foucault's pendulum needs a person to start it. And then it keeps going, and somehow this proves the earth is a ball.

How, exactly explain, does this mean the earth is moving? It's just a huge jump to conclusion without any logic.

All the cranes in the world, none of them automatically become a pendulum when they are turned off. Just hanging still.

Foucault's pendulum is a phenomenon, but I don't need to connect that phenomenon to the debate. The earth doesn't curve, by all observations and measurements. So, this pendulum moving constantly doesn't address the missing curve, or many other inconsistencies in the globe and space theories.

It's ok that I cannot explain how the pendulum works, we can all have theories about why it works, and none of those theories need to be "because the earth is moving"

Again, if it was because of the earth, then why does someone need to start the pendulum? Why doesn't it just start by itself?

It could be the material, maybe if the pendulum was a heavy plastic ball, then this wouldn't work, this, we might conclude that this has something to do with electro statics, which is a relatively strong force that we can measure.

So, I think it's fair to say that I have debunked Foucault's pendulum as a method to prove the earth is moving, just now.

But let's hear your thoughts. How does this pendulum prove the earth is in motion?

If we are rotating at a constant velocity and also have orbital velocity, then why could we not measure any acceleration and deceleration? Do a velocity diagram of earth rotating and moving forward at the same time. The surface of the earth would experience increased velocity while rotating with orbit and decreased velocity while rotating against orbit.

Without forcing your beliefs that we are on a globe in space, how do you explain this?
