Train of Thought

Nowhere in the encyclopedias or Physics textbooks will you find a realistic MODEL for the kind of Earth Coriolis was selling.
The closest thing is that pathetic, worthless 'rotating disk.

Coriolis' failure to include a cogent MODEL for his 'world' has no doubt been a key factor in the hoax going unexposed for all these years.

Could you, if pressed, produce a working model to illustrate Corilois' perception of rotating Earth?

How about this: Picture an Earth covered with train tracks running parallel to the Equator. Every track is completely covered with its own train. They all run Eastward. Each train completes one 'run' (360 degrees) every 24 hours. Thus they have a common angular velocity around a common axis. But no two train tracks in the same hemisphere have the same length. Which means that no two trains have the same LINEAR VELOCITY. The closer to the Equator, the longer the track. The longer the track, the greater the LINEAR VELOCITY.
So you could lay a plank due north or due south from any given train to any other--and the north-south alignment of the plank would be unchanged by the movement of the trains.
But if you rolled a ball along that plank, it would roll off. Doesn't this accurately represent Coriolis' world view? Yes. Is it a fair representation of the PHYSICS of Earth? No.

In Earth: If you take a perfectly round ball and drop it straight down onto a perfectly flat surface, it will bounce straight back up. Always.
But on our model train: A bouncing ball will migrate in a direction exactly opposite to the direction the train is moving. The higher it bounces, the more noticeable the migration would be. If you were in a closed train car you could calculate both the direction and the linear velocity of the train you were on, based on loss of momentum of a thrown or bounced or rolled ball.

Which illustrates the fundamental flaw in Coriolis' thinking. The Coriolis Effect is based on the different rotation-derived linear velocities of different geographical points (each latitude has its own special eastward linear velocity). But in the real Earth, those different linear velocities have absolutely NO PHYSICAL RAMIFICATIONS. They accelerate nothing. Inside that rotating gravitational field, the rotation might as well not occur. Seattle's 'space speed' has no physical effect on motion (or stillness) in Seattle.
