1/ [testing auto-splitting of tweets]
seems like some people want to have their cake and eat it too? it seems that it comes down to this: on the (supposedly) spinning earth, it would be problematic if the atmosphere is...velcro'd to the surface and rotating in lock-step with it…
2/ …- and now apparently this atmosphere extends past the moon's orbit?!, OR if there is enough of a differential in the rotational velocities to allow for the coriolis force to apply can't have it both ways. in the latter scenario, such a drag would make for catastrophic…
3/ …winds UNLESS there is some demonstrable means to mitigate the effects of the coriolis force so that it only seems to apply to some sniper rounds and huge hurricanes, but not noticeably impact the rest of life on earth if there is a coriolis effect to the earth, we would,…
4/ …of course, need to have airlocks at each doorway due to the huge differentials in atmospheric velocity at each doorway...unless the explanation is that gravity keeps the atmosphere rotating at ALMOST the full speed of the earth's supersonic rotation so that people walking
5/ …on the surface are within the same reference frame all the while, not noticing anything and just allows for a small amount of drag that lets the coriolis effect manifest the way it is said to
5a/...inertia necessitates graduation a time-factor, right?
6/ a delay and...ramping-down as the 'object' - and yes, this is certainly a complex, multi-body type of object - displays the effects of inertia. so to my mind, working from your nice example, the little man has this fluid all about his person and experience but should still…
7/ …see a noticeable, measurable differential when, say, entering a little room at the bottom of the bucket, closing the door (walling off some of that flow) and perhaps making a couple of turns within this small bottom-of-the-bucket house.
8/ OR, if that little man got into the equivalent of an airplane (submarine in this case?) where a portion of this flow was encapsulated within and then made some turns in 3 dimensions that should mean that he has left any initial inertial frame of reference, no?
9/ what should happen to the flow inside this submarine/airplane is, i would expect, a tapering off of the initial velocity of the flow OR, at least, no change in the direction of that flow.
10/ For the latter, i mean that if the flow is moving in X direction in this constant angular speed, then it would either persist in that direction as the submarine/airplane makes course corrections or it would not.
11/ either way should make for a noticeable/measurable change in the characteristics of the flow.
12/ and what happens to the little man's sub/plane when he lands back at the bottom of the bucket in a different location - and at a different heading than when he 'took off' - and then opens the hatches?
13/ is there a sudden, gradual or no...re-alignment of the flow within and without the sub/plane?

i could be way off on all of this. just trying to think it through and get to the bottom of this as it were.

as for coriolis force. i'm no expert in flat-earth, nor do i know if…
14/ …there is any consensus amongst the 'community, but i would say that this is not accepted as a force that operates on the earth's atmosphere in reality nor for the reasons we are taught as part of the standard beliefs about the earth's disposition. to my mind, it seems…
15/ …like this is a case of wanting to 'have one's cake and eating it too' as this force should apply to airplanes as much as it is said to apply to sniper rounds, small bodies of water in a sink or toilet and, interestingly, to aggregations of air (huge hurricanes), yet it…
16/ …doesn't allow for a helicopter to go straight up and hover in it's own frame of reference and see the earth pass below it?
17/ there appear to be many discussion about coriolis relative to globe-earth/flat-earth; one short one as a video from the flat-side of the discussion:
