186. The fact that people sensitive to motion sickness do not get sick standing still on Earth prove that it is not a sphere spinning at 1000mph

Image
"People sensitive to motion sickness feel distinct unease and physical discomfort from motion as slight as an elevator or a train ride. This means that the 1000mph alleged uniform spin of the Earth has no effect on such people, but add an extra 50mph uniform velocity of a car and their stomach starts turning knots. The idea that motion sickness is nowhere apparent in anyone at 1000mph, but suddenly comes about at 1050mph is ridiculous and proves the Earth is not in motion whatsoever."  Add motion sickness to the long list of things that Dubay does not understamd To be fair to Dubay, the exact mechanics of motion sickness are still being debated, and the effects differ between people, but most agree that motion sickness is caused by the mixed signals sent to the brain by your senses including the inner ear, which detects gravity, acceleration and its direction. Your ability to anticipate the acceleration that you experience also appears to have an effect. Car sick...

185. We can feel a car moving at a uniform speed so we should be able to feel the Earth rotating

Image
"We are told that the Earth and atmosphere spin together at such a perfect uniform velocity that no one in history has ever seen, heard, felt or measured the supposed 1000mph movement. This is then often compared to traveling in a car at uniform velocity, where we only feel the movement during acceleration or deceleration. In reality, however, even with eyes closed, windows up, over smooth tar in a luxury car at a mere uniform 50mph, the movement absolutely can be felt! At 20 times this speed, Earth’s imaginary 1000mph spin would most certainly be noticeable, felt, seen and heard by all."  Source:  https://ruarrijoseph.com/avtomobili/671-vibraciya-na-skorosti-100-120-km-ch-osnovnye-prichiny.html Apparently Dubay needs to have vibration explained to him Driving a budget car along a rough road at 70 mph will feel like it is travelling much faster than a Rolls Royce travelling along a smooth highway at 100 mph. This is because we are not feeling velocity we are...

129. Common sense tells us that the Earth cannot be moving around erratically as science maintains

Image
"To quote William Carpenter, “Why, in the name of common sense, should observers have to fix their telescopes on solid stone bases so that they should not move a hair's breadth,  if the Earth on which they fix them moves at the rate of nineteen miles in a second?  Indeed, to believe that ‘six thousand million million million tons’ is rolling, surging, flying, darting on through space for ever with a velocity compared with which a shot from a cannon is a very slow coach,  with such unerring accuracy that a telescope fixed on granite pillars in an observatory will not enable a lynx-eyed astronomer to detect a variation in its onward motion of the thousandth part of a hair's breadth is to conceive a miracle compared with which all the miracles on record put together would sink into utter insignificance.  Since we can, (in middle north latitudes), see the North Star, on looking out of a window that faces it - and out of the very same corner of the very same pane of glass...

97. We would be able to feel a spherical Earth rotating and moving through space

Image
"NASA and modern astronomy say the Earth is a giant ball tilted back, wobbling and spinning 1,000 mph around its central axis, traveling 67,000 mph circles around the Sun, spiraling 500,000 mph around the Milky Way, while the entire galaxy rockets a ridiculous 670,000,000 mph through the Universe, with all of these motions originating from an alleged “Big Bang” cosmogenic explosion 14 billion years ago. That’s a grand total of 670,568,000 mph in several different directions we’re all supposedly speeding along at simultaneously, yet no one has ever seen, felt, heard, measured or proven a single one of these motions to exist whatsoever." Dubay does not understand the laws of motion .... as demonstrated by his adding up all those different velocities as if it means something! Speed does not exert a force on our bodies, only acceleration.  If we are stationary, travelling a  constant 55 miles per hour in a car on the motorway, at 200mph on the Japanese bullet train, or th...

31. Dubay quotes a Flat Earth believer who believes that the rotating Earth would cause a tremendous wind

Image
“Quoting “Zetetic Cosmogeny” Thomas Winships states: “Let ‘imagination’ picture to the mind what force air would have which was set in motion by a spherical body of 8,000 miles in diameter, which in one hour was spinning round 1,000 mph, rushing through space at 65,000 mph and gyrating across the heavens? Then let ‘conjecture’ endeavor to discover whether the inhabitants on such a globe could keep their hair on? If the earth-globe rotates on its axis at the terrific rate of 1,000 miles an hour, such an immense mass would of necessity cause a tremendous rush of wind in the space it occupied. The wind would go all one way, and anything like clouds which got ‘within the sphere of influence’ of the rotating sphere, would have to go the same way. The fact that the earth is at rest is proved by kite flying.” Dubay makes the same point as  proof 28  and proof 29 , but this time tries to add a little extra credibility by quoting someone else making the point.  As before Dubay a...

29. If the atmosphere were spinning eastwards at 1000 mph we would see, hear and feel it

Image
“If the Earth and its atmosphere were constantly spinning Eastwards over 1000 mph, this should somewhere somehow be seen, heard, felt or measured by someone, yet no one in history has ever experienced this alleged Eastward motion; meanwhile, however, we can hear, feel and experimentally measure even the slightest Westward breeze.” This is making the same point as proof 28 .  As before Dubay does not understand that winds are relative to the moving atmosphere. By “experienced this alleged eastward motion” he presumably thinks we should be experiencing a 1000 mph wind. If you were to stand still in a 10 mph eastward wind, you would feel that wind.  If you then travelled eastward and sped up to 10 mph, the wind that you felt would become weaker and weaker and stop altogether when you reached 10 mph. In the same way, we do not feel the 1000 mph eastward wind because we are also travelling eastward at 1000 mph because we are standing on a spinning Earth. He may also be...
