Conversations with Corey - Does this work on Flat Earth?

Force The Line (Do Not Put Money Into This)

$Relativity Redux (Airy, Michelson-Morley, and Michelson-Gale) The flat-Earthers are still trying to convince themselves that these classic ether experiments showed the Earth was stationary. I will highlight the original text from each experiment to show what they really said. I will show that none of these scientists ever concluded that - they didnt even mention the possibility. I will then evaluate whether or not we could interpret these results in the context of a flat, stationary Earth. SPOILER ALERT: the results are consistent with a rotating sphere. A lot of people find Einsteins Special Relativity hard to believe. These real-world experiments lead us to Relativity as the only rational explanation. jump ahead: @0:00 Intro @2:11 Movement of Earth through the ether @4:03 Airys Failure @12:53 Michelson-Morley @17:44 Rotation of Earth within the ether @18:46 Michelson-Gale @25:19 Rotating Ether on a Stationary, Flat Earth @27:29 Ether Does Not Work on a Stationary, Flat Earth @34:09 Ether Does Not Work on a Rotating, Spherical Earth in Stationary Ether @34:53 Summary (Ether Does Not Work, Earth is a Rotating Sphere, this leads us to Relativity) source material: Airys Failure: Proceedings of the Royal society of London, VOL20 (1871-1872) On a supposed alteration in the amount of Astronomical Aberration of Light, produced by the passage of Light through a considerable thickness of Refracting Medium.
