1851 Paris Observatory 'proof of rotation'

The pendulum’s swing rotated clockwise 11° per hour, making a full circle in 32.7 hours.

South Pole Foucault Pendulum – Winter, 2001

Principal Investigators: Mike Town, Ph.D. candidate, University of Washington; John Bird, Ph.D., FBIS, P.Eng, York University; R. Allan Baker, Sonoma State University

A Foucault Pendulum at the South Pole was determined to have a period of 24 hours, ± 50 minutes.

“Standing on the bottom of the world the Earth spins backward relative to the direction it spins in the Northern Hemisphere. Our first attempt with the pendulum showed the Earth spinning backward from what was expected. We didn’t notice this at first because we’re all from the Northern Hemisphere and are accustomed to the earth spinning in an anticlockwise direction. We then realized that from our frame of reference the earth should be spinning clockwise so we had to modify the pendulum. At an altitude of 11,000+ feet we think a bit more slowly.

The air resistance against this weight caused the pendulum itself to rotate. This gave us spurious results for our first attempt. Later we fashioned the weight so that it was hanging horizontally to the plane of the floor and we got results consistent with what was expected. Our second attempt showed the earth rotating in the proper direction but at an angular velocity twice what is expected (i.e., 12 hour days instead of 24). Our last attempt showed that the earth spins on its axis once every 24 hours, as expected.

It was difficult to make the pendulum swing in a plane instead of an ellipse. After several attempts with various techniques of holding the bob and dropping it we always got some kind of ellipse instead of a plane. This adds to our error because it is more difficult to locate and mark the pendulum arc’s apex.“

If not, then we have a perpetual motion machine!  What's being used to maintain it's oscillations?  Explanations of the mechanics (snapshot below).

this not a proof = this is inconclusive experiment

in paris the penduleum works as expected

No, It didn't work as expected in the 1851 Paris observatory 'rotation' experiment.  The experiment is promoted and tailored to show what they need it to show. The explanation they give us disproves itself.

An animated explanation of "Airy's Failure" experiment

An experiment known as "Airey's Failure" involves filling a telescope with water to slow down the speed of light inside. Usually telescopes must be slightly tilted to get the starlight down the axis of the tube supposedly due to "Earth's speed around the sun." Airey discovered that actually the starlight was already coming in at the correct angle so no change was necessary. This demonstrated that the stars move relative to a stationary Earth and not the other way around; if it was the telescope moving, he would have to change the angle.

I don't know what to say about this video below except that it is quite humorous and probably not far from the truth.
I think this video probably expresses what many people think. For best effect please watch it in it's entirety.  :)

Another video with some interesting info from about 2:30 in the video.

Aye, both reveal the true nature of the Flat Earth
Psychological Operation.  It really is a "religious"
operation which is intended to pave the way for
the coming One World Religion of The Beast.

It was foretold that during the Apocalypse a great
effort to overcome Truth with the Lie would encompass
the World.  Many would be deceived and forsake
their good sense to worship The Beast.  It has begun
and it will get really crazy as it proceeds.

The Good News is that in the End the Truth will prevail.
In the meantime, as this Great Deception unfolds, the
vast majority will buy into it.

There are quite a number of videos coming out which
expose the source of the PsyOp and its purpose.

This is a good one which gets to the heart of it.

As the man said; There is no limit to human stupidity.

You inverted the truth!  Do you believe in the ancient manuscripts (the bible and other supporting manuscripts) or not?

When we are sincere in our quest for Truth
and call upon The Helper to provide discernment,
we are given the comprehension we seek.

It is an unfortunate Truth that historical manuscripts
and documents have been corrupted by those who
are under the influence of the Father of the Lie.

The Wisdom of Man is folly.

I am just flabbergasted that this conversation is even taking place.  I have shown this topic to a few folks that just stare at me and shake their heads.

One of them asked..."Isn't there hospitals that can help these poor folks?"

It is a shame and a bad reflection on our education system.

Is the blind leading the blind ? Stick to just one observation and that is that when viewing an object that is not to be seen due to the curvature of the earth that we can it been seen but only by instrumental means ? The earth is round but sometimes we see it as flat ! This is not religion its an observation and is a fact ! But why and how is it so ?

to whom it may concern,

Don't pay it any mind.  Let those who question...question.  They will figure their TRUTH in time.  When I see reflections refuse to form a straight line to the standing subject over 5 miles of standing water, when I see a 24/7 continuous picture of a spinning ball from a geosynchronous satellite, when I see a frozen lake have a bulge in the middle many miles long, when I see a complete overhaull of the space station because of temperature extremes, when I see tiny meteorites that come in during certain periods of the year effect even one of the many thousands of satellites in space, when I see a 93 million mile triangliation of the sun to earth that makes sense, then I might start thinking back to the ball earth that I used to  believe in since kindergarten.  Until then its 51 to 49% in favor of...... 
This video sums it up in most areas for me:

Yes Pirate, it is a bit difficult to understand how anyone could buy into a flat Earth. It seems a portion of the population will latch onto anything that is related to "conspiracy" no matter how far fetched it is. While I do see a lot of modern "science" to be wasteful and pointless/unnecessary, there is also a lot that is very useful.

I think some people must either forego common sense or had none to begin with.

A couple of reasoning questions one should ask oneself when considering the Flat Earth.

1. If the Earth is flat, then what is on the other side ? Are both sides populated or is the "underside" just craggy rocks or something ?
2. How thick is the supposed disk/cookie ?
3. How are volcano's explained ?
There are many more.

Basically it comes down to the fact that people can believe anything they want, they can say what they want if there is no moderation.

Personally I think that some people are so confused by all the deceptions in our world that they want everything to be "different". And I can't say I blame them for that.

I really believe that way too much public expense is wasted on "space programs" and "high science" when we cannot even manage the land properly here on Earth. Basic life sustaining skills are being lost and the solution seems to be to kill a whole bunch of people by wars and chaos.

I cannot be angry at Flat Earthers when our elected servants act like dictators and continuously steal from us while interfering in others peoples countries affairs and so forth.

Constant stress and worry breeds insanity.

Possibly a yearning for a simpler time brings the desire to go back to when everybody believed the Earth was flat.

The serious issues modern science is causing for the future are many.

In most countries on this planet the ability/opportunity for people to live a simple life is being removed and unless folks want to live on the streets in the cities or like an animal in the bush then we must involve ourselves with "evils" of the modern world. In most countries the land is all owned, mostly by the rich, huge tracts of land. And individuals must pay others for the right to live some place. Even if you own a "house" in the city or elsewhere we must go onto others properties routinely. Which is not the way for people to live.

Maybe if the Earth was flat we could get to the other side and live in peace. haha.

This thread is so insane.  There is a cult of "flat Earthers" on YouTube that must number in the thousands that post and are visible, and tens of thousands that don't post and are invisible.  And as someone already mentioned, there is a pulp "crap and junk" industry feeding off of them and fattening up their bank accounts.

How about this one:  A digital watch, a car, an odometer, and a sextant.

Take some sightings of some stars and record the information.  Drive due south for 150 km.  Then take more sightings of the same stars.  Repeat as many times as you want.

You will get sextant measurements that are consistent with the world being a sphere.  With a small amount of extra brainpower you can crunch your measurements and determine the circumference of the Earth.

Anybody watch Carl Sagan's "Cosmos?"  He tells the story of how Eratosthenes did this very thing in the third century B.C.

And here we are in the 21st century and there are people that are 2400 years behind the times.  The mind boggles.

Convincing evidence that it is a well organized and
financed Psychological Operation.  The tactics used
by the so-called disciples of the Flat Earth Religion
indicate that the present PSYOP was activated in unison
essentially world-wide with a cleverly concocted script.

It is but a preview of what is to come as the War on Truth
heats up.

The Love of Money is always one aspect of these exercises.
But there is more.  Much more to come.

no you are very wrong
we are in 2016 !! not 1851
you can see it every day in paris ( i looked at  it more than 1000 h )
this penduleum is working perfectly
you are in a very insane secte
