tl;dr, but:
Coriolis force is easily explained as an artifact caused by the shadow of the aetheric whirlpool, much like leaves spinning in an eddy. It's actually quite simple, and requires no ridiculous theories of ball-earths spinning at impossible speeds
- The is no evidence, Zetetic or otherwise, of any "shadow of the aetheric whirlpool".
- The Globe is not "spinning at impossible speeds" but at slightly more than one revolution per 24 hours.
- This "aetheric whirlpool" hypothesis fails completely to address the observation that low pressure weather systems
in the Northern Hemisphere (including hurricanes and typhoons) rotate anti-clockwise
and
In the Southern Hemisphere (including cyclones) rotate clockwise.
But high pressure weather systems
in the Northern Hemisphere rotate clockwise
and
In the Southern Hemisphere rotate anti-clockwise.
And an important question is why the differences in rotation direction and why is the dividing line is the equator and not the sun-path or some other dividing line?
Care to comment?
Care greatly. To your point about high vs low pressure, and their directionalities, I think you'll find that if you do the math it works out equivalently regardless of whether the forces involved come from changing position on a spinning ball or a force more equivalent to friction
OK, would you care to show your math for "high vs low pressure, and their directionalities" due to "a force more equivalent to friction".
And what is this "friction"?
Any description of the properties of
aether (even if it were a real "substance") that I have seen indicate that it has no effect on "ponderous matter".
Do you have any evidence that there could possibly be any friction between aether and air?
As for why the direction changes at the equator, it's the other way around. The equator is necessarily at the point where the whirlpool and the Earth are static relative to each other, because the equator is defined by the movement of the sun and the sun's movement is defined by the whirlpool
But the equator is the path of the sun at the equinoxes but the dividing line between anti-clockwise rotating lows and clockwise rotating lows is not the current sun's path but the equator.
The reason the Earth and the whirlpool have changing rotational velocities, relative to each other, is that the Earth is spinning with different dynamics than the whirlwind. The Earth moves like an axle, whereas the whirlwind moves like an eddy.
What "whirlwind" are you talking about? high and low pressure weather systems can hardly be called
whirlwinds.
Even around the eye of a hurricane the wind might take around 2 hours to complete one revolution - hardly a
whirlwind.
Whirlwinds and tornados are a different story.
While Coriolis has little direct effect on them they usually, but not always, rotate in the direction of the low pressure region that "spawned" them.
Sure the Globe rotates almost as though on and axle through the poles but I thought that the flat earth was completely without axial motion. As in
Earth Not a Globe
An experimental inquiry into the true figure of the Earth, proving it a plane, without orbital or axial motion, and the only known material world; its true position in the universe, comparatively recent formation, present chemical condition, and approaching destruction by fire, etc. A treatise on Zetetic Astronomy.
The wind is slowest at the edges and fastest in the center (in terms of angular velocity) while the Earth has a constant angular velocity. The point where the two velocities work out equal is called the equator
That sounds an interesting hypothesis but how does that explain:
A
high pressure weather system In the
Northern Hemisphere rotating
clockwise yet an adjacent
low pressure weather system rotates
anti-clockwise whether near the equator or the North Pole.
And
A
high pressure weather system in the
Southern Hemisphere rotating
anti-clockwise yet an adjacent
low pressure weather system rotates
clockwise whether near the equator or the South Pole.
Do you know something? I think I'll stick to the simple explanations that come from the earth's being a slowly rotation Globe.
I don't need all these ad hoc hypotheses to explain these observations nor to explain everyday things like beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
