Hey, flat earth guy, explain this.

Why do snipers have to consider the earths rotation when making long distance shots? If the earth was flat wouldn't that mean they would always be missing? The Coriolis Effect. I don't know what's more than a checkmate but this is it.

        The earth moves upwards through space at a constant speed due to the universal accelerator. The UA can only act upon objects that are either very large in surface area, or that have enough propulsion. That's why the UA can act upon an airplane: a planes limited surface area is compensated for by the propulsion generated by its engines. This allows the UA to act upon what little surface area the plane does have. Same with a bullet: the propulsion generated by igniting gun powder allows the bullet to be briefly acted upon by the UA. With something as small as a bullet, the force of the UA is not always applied equally, as the bullet also experiences the various forces of electromagnetism, wind, and air pressure. However, bullet trajectories are consistent, as u say. I look forward to the day when informed individuals can conduct research in a social environment free from the ridicule of mainstream science and society. Right now, no one except a select few are willing to shoulder the social stigma attached to thinking outside the box. Thus, it may take time until we can fully understand the finer details of Universal Acceleration. P.S. Science denies that the ground would rotate beneath me when I jump? But all of a sudden they are fine with the idea that it rotates beneath a bullet? Seems like a double standard to me...

          I met a flat-earther. I told him the earth is round and brought up many valid reasons, as he was being quite rude in getting his point across. When finished, he told me "well that's your opinion, and it's wrong!" *walks away*

          • If the earth was flat would we still rotate?

              Listen it's a really simple thought experiment. Take a sphere and a starting point, go straight. [b]Any[/b] direction you go you will end up where you started. Now take a disc (which is what i expect you describe when you say the earth is flat.) and again a starting point. Now going straight and i mean not what we perceive as straight but truly straight. we will no matter where we start or what direction we go in, we will [b]always[/b] fall off an edge. Now take real life. We have yet to find any evidence at all, that there is an edge to the earth. Now without an edge or evidence of one. we can only [b]assume [/b] using the experiment above the earth is a sphere.

                  • What are you talking about, of course the Earth's flat, the Universe is flat, I'm flat! But Pizza, disks, and paper are round! I got this credible info from CNN. Therefore it MUST be true.

                        I actually already asked Krishnas Prophet that question, I just forgot the name of it. I believe he said it was due partly to the earth appearring curved & because it is traveling upwards through space, you have to arc the bullet to hit the target, thus getting the effect. Btw, I did laugh at this, nice one! You should tag Krishnas Prophet in it.

                      • Like that good of an argument was needed to debunk the world being flat. I think checkmate was when we saw our circular planet from space.
