I heard something new that realy makes you wander. If the earth is rotating as they say than how airplanes can go in straight line? If earth is moving under them they should land way off the desired destinacion… 😮 They are not connected to the earth so rotacion shouldnt apply to them, it applyes only to cars and runing animals but not on airplains and bierds… Also when you jump from baloon that is wery high up, you shouldnt fall straight down, if the earth is rotating it should move under you and you could newer fall on the same spot that you jumped over… 🫢

I cant beleave this newer came to my mind for entire life… 😵

      Replying to your most recent comment. You’ve had a lot of explanations provided, in multiple easy to digest packages. You haven’t replied to any of the answers that people spent a decent amount of time to provide you. Do you understand now and don’t feel inclined to acknowledge anyone who helped you get there? Do you reject their explanations without feeling the need to respond? What’s up bro

      You’re moving that fast too, you don’t suddenly stop rotating with the Earth when you jump.
