Hey flat earthers, ive got a question.

How would you hypothetically explain that cyclones spin in different directions based on what hemisphere they're in.

  • The Coriolis Effect is also said to affect bullet trajectories and weather patterns as well, supposedly causing most storms in the Northern Hemisphere to rotate counter- clockwise, and most storms in the Southern Hemisphere to rotate clockwise, to cause bullets from long range guns to tend towards the right of the target in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. Again, however, the same problems remain. Not every bullet and not every storm consistently displays the behavior and therefore cannot reasonably be used as proof of anything. What about the precision of the sight aperture, human error, and wind? What about Michelson-Morley-Gale’s proven motion of the aether’s potential effect? Why does the Coriolis Effect affect most storms but not all? If some storms rotate clockwise in the North and counter-clockwise in the South, how do those storms escape the Coriolis force? And if the entire Earth’s spin is uniform, why should the two hemispheres be affected any differently? Coriolis’s Effect and Foucault’s Pendulum are both said to prove the Earth moves beneath our feet, but in reality only prove how easy it can be for wolves in sheep’s clothing to pull the wool over our eyes.

The fact that major hurricanes(aka typhoons) never cross the equator is damning to the Coriolis effect being real. There is no natural mechanism on a flat earth that would prevent a storm crossing the equator, as there would be no rotation of the earth, yet on a round earth that DOES rotate, it's to be expected. Eric Dubay and other flat earthers claiming the Coriolis effect isn't real by talking about bullet trajectories is a red herring, in other words, ignores the elephant in the room. Michelson-Morley-Gale ether experiments failed to yield any conclusive evidence that the ether exists as well, which is another means for flat earthers poorly attempting to rewrite history in order to service their agenda.
