You got it Intikam...
Well this is going to be fun.
Do not forget, you are dealing with yahoos perfectly willing to tell you the Earth is rotating at 1000 MPH and not only that, it is dragging the heavy atmosphere right along with it...and AMAZINGLY we feel none of that
Calling the kettle black, damn. Well firstly, we don't feel the earth rotating because it's not accelerating, which is where one would feel gravitational effects, also we don't feel the
centrifugal inertial force because it's related to the speed
as well as the radius of the object. We're spinning at one rotation per day(.00417 degrees per second). I challenge you to take a plate and put something on it, spin it at that speed, and tell me if it flies off(or even moves aside from the initial acceleration). Also, you say HEAVY atmosphere, sure it's heavy relative to the earth but there's a problem with your reasoning. The atmosphere is still part of the earth. The earth is travelling at a constant speed in it's orbit around the sun, and there's nothing to
slow it down based on it's weight: there's no medium for drag in the vacuum of space. It doesn't accelerate or decelerate. Therefore, "dragging" is not an applicable word.
...as PROOF, they offer up the RIDICULOUS example of "Imagine you are in a vehicle traveling along..."
And this is ridiculous because...?
Cool, except for the small fact I AM IN THE VEHICLE!!! I am OUTSIDE ON THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH...unless RE is declaring the wonder of HE...
Oh, this argument. Well the earth is the same as the vehicle because of that "HEAVY" atmosphere, remember? The chassis of the car is terra-firma and the roof is the atmosphere.
I dare any one here to get on top of the last rail car of the City of New Orleans and then jump straight up in the air...
Not the same thing, it would be if you had some sort of shield on the top of rail car, however: the air would be continuing to move WITH the rail car. Also, how does that even come close to globe earth? There would be nothing to "push" you as in the rail car example even if there were no atmosphere, THERE IS NOTHING IN SPACE TO CAUSE DRAG.
