STILLNESS


How would
Coriolis
explain
STILLNESS?







If you fill a glass with water and set it on a table in your home, the natural behavior of the water will be a state of stillness.
If you fill a glass with water and place it on a moving train, the water will be disturbed. The glass is being carried along by the train, and the water is being corraled by the glass.
NOTHING being carried along on the train is actually AT REST.

Coriolis dealt with this pesky detail by ignoring it. Part of his conjuring trick was to state that the ONLY effects of different space speeds of different locations would ONLY be from very long range events along ONLY north or south azimuths. Sounds an awful lot like 'The Emperor's New Clothes' , doesn't it?
