"If you go up in a helicopter in New York and hover for 4 hours and then come
back down to Earth you should be in Los Angeles, not New York ( if the Earth
were really rotating ).
To commence, I will refute your citations of websites on the grounds that they
are HTML 1.0 sites written by nutcases who rant and rave quoting no credible
sources. Do not assume because it is on the internet, it is real or even
citable as a source without losing respect from people with any tangible
concept of academia.
Now I shall explain why the example you provided is flawed. If you take off in
a helicopter over any city, you are using the spinning blades of the helicopter
to displace air in a downwards vorticical force, providing lift. It is in this
air that your helicopter is remaining, it is not in an intangible space or
vaccuum. This air, too, moves around the world as the world moves around, as
well as having further complexity added to the scenario in the way of air
currents.
A physical and immediate example you can use is, thicker stuff than air that
moves slower, water (or any liquid), get a cup full of water and find a very
small item that floats, say, drop a short hair in it, or a fleck of plastic,
just to emulate your helicopter. Now rotate the cup, don't stir it, put the cup
on a table, reach down and turn it. The object stays in a static position.
Now the physics of both of these scenarios operate for different reasons but it
is a similar example with a similar measurable result.
Now stir that cup of water. Watch the object fall into the centre of it. This
is another example of a different theory, but an illustration of gravity. Were
our giant cup not being stirred, we would fall off. aussietinfoilhat
