You think if they don't understand it that they'll use that as a reason to not believe it? Flat Earthers have their hands full with this one. This is better than when Flat Earthers experimentally proved themselves wrong! See here.

Pedro Teles, PhD Physics, University of Porto (2007) Updated Wed Buy a ticket to Paris. Say you arrive at Charles de Gaulle airport. Take the RER B to Gare du Nord. At Gare du Nord, switch from the RER to the metro and take line 4, direction Mairie de Montrouge. Get off at the station Réaumur- Sébastopol. You'll now be on Boulevard Sébastopol, take a left (or a right,

    flat earth debunk - Text - LTE 29% 9:36 And... congratulations!! You've just arrived at the Musée des Arts et Métiers. Go inside (don't be afraid now), go to accueil, and buy yourself a ticket (8 euros). Ask the receptionist to tell you where the Foucault's pendulum is - it's not the original one, that one is inside the Pantheón, but this way you'll get the chance to visit the rest of the museum which is great! Now, how does this help? Because this pendulum was designed and built by Léon Foucaul

If you wait long enough, and if the security guards allow you to do it, stay there for a bit longer than one day (around 1 day and 7 hours, as Paris is at a latitude of about 49 degrees north of the equator (see below), and you'll see the pendulum undergo a full rotation (360 degrees). While you're waiting, make sure to read the above links, and try to understand what is at

On the North pole you will need to reproduce the same experiment as the one you've just seen in Paris, so warn the organizers that you need to do just that. It won't be easy of course, but it's not impossible either! You want your proof so you have to work a bit to have it, right? So, mount your experiment, and after you do so, observe the pendulum again rotating clockwise on and on about its axis. Measure the

Arrive in São Tomé, and ask someone to take you to where the Equator line goes through Again find a way to reproduce Foucault's experiment. this will probably prove to be the most difficult part of this whole experiment, but hey, you're the one asking for proof!! Now after you finish installing your Foucault's pendulum in São Tomé, observe the pendulum again. This time, the pendul

This force is dependent on latitude, and so the angular speed at which you will observe the rotation obeys the following law: w360° sin(d)/1day where that angle there (ø) is latitude. This explains why full rotation of Foucault's pendulum you observed in Paris took longer than a day, exactly one day at the North pole, and zero at the equator. Now there - you've
