Its just a little sad that you dont find a lot of people
who can argue bot sides of the
flat earth vs. spinning ball earth.
I am still 50 / 50 at best.
Nobody was able to explain me for example
why...
The gyroscope argument works the opposite way.
A gyroscope maintains its orientation in inertial space (relative to the distant stars), not relative to Earth's surface. This is exactly what we'd expect on a rotating Earth.
If you set up a gyroscope at the North Pole, over 24 hours you'd see the Earth rotate beneath it while the gyroscope's axis stays pointed at the same stars. This is essentially what a Foucault pendulum demonstrates.
The gyroscope doesn't follow Earth's rotation, which is precisely the evidence that Earth is rotating.
This is as solid as physics gets. It's not theoretical; it's observable, measurable, and used in technology every single day.
