So... say if phil gets on a plane in Los Angeles and flies east... and lands in London.. then takes off again and keeps flying east and every time that he lands he takes off and goes east some more...does he end up back at Los Angeles?

So riddle me this, tag team of 3...say you're standing at sea level at the equator and there is a person standing to the East and West of you and both are speaking to you at the same time. Who can you hear speaking if the Earth is rotating at 1037 mph and the speed of sound at sea level is 761.1 mph?

When I responded I thought he was talking about a flat earther named Phil. Sorry. I take it that you two don’t get along.

Wow, yow... more webpage garbage... Are you moving at 1037 mph relative to either of the speakers? You really are an embarrassment to yourself.

You hear because you and your tag team aren’t moving relative to each other.

I love the way that you try to invent “problems” that only exist because you ignore the basic principles involved. Highly entertaining.

Now answer my question about you flying east in the airplane. Do you eventually end up back where you started or do you fly over Great Ice Wall at the Edge of the Earth?
