RE: Questions I Get Asked As A Flat Earther - Where Do Boats Disappear?
I produce everything, you give nothing but claims.
I produced a non-moving gyroscope outside a blackbox type enviroment.

What you can't produce, is a gyroscope, outside a blackbox enviroment, that moves.
You don't do anything. You look at youtube videos and decide which ones you like and which ones you don't like.
So what?
ANY youtube video can be manipulated...even the ones that you like.

because what you are saying is that everyone else is lying.
i say you are lying, and worse, you know it.
Well, I did a little bit of research about this since you are so concerned about this. They don't use mechanical gyroscopes to measure the rotation of the earth. They use ring lasers. Do you know how large these ring lasers are? They were originally several kilometers or miles in circumference, back in the 1920's and 1930's. But with the advance of computing power and accuracy, now the most advanced and accurate ring laser is about 4 meters around. You can't go out and buy something like this. The largest commercially available ring lasers are about 10 centimeters around.
It turns out that small mechanical gyroscopes such as the ones in your videos are easily overwhelmed by non-inertial forces such as friction, viscosity, etc. I would not trust the results of any such small gyroscope when trying to determine the rotation of the earth.
This is probably why you won't see any videos of a toy gyro showing the rotation of the earth. If you want to see a real ring gyro in action, head on over to the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Interesting, I learned something today.
wow, that is amazing, since
hahahahahahahaha... go figure
Ah yes, it seems I misread. The early rings were interferometers, not laser rings. They used a light source, but the light source was not a laser. That's probably why they had to be so big, the light source was less accurate than a laser beam.
Thanks for the correction.
link your sources.
Here are a couple of sources to get you started:
https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/338054/measuring-earth-rotation-rate-about-its-axis-with-gyroscopes
http://www.phys.canterbury.ac.nz/ringlaser/about_us.shtml
Oh here is an interesting site: International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service
https://www.iers.org/IERS/EN/Home/home_node.html
all these sources force me to take it on faith.
they just say that it is so, and computer data can easily be corrupted (i am a computer scientist by trade).
but it is nice you finally admitted that gyroscopes don't move.
(of course it is completely proven that the guy in my first video with the gyroscope was a liar/fake... )
suppositions to explaining lack of something.
