Yes. Space is the "Flat Surface". Whether a flat or round earth tard, Angular Velocity explains it.

Planet Earth is like a spinning top.

In rotational axis

It also moves with respect to Earth's crust; this is called polar motion. Precession is a rotation of Earth's rotation axis, caused primarily by external torques from the gravity of the Sun, Moon and other bodies. The polar motion is primarily due to free core nutation and the Chandler wobble.

From the article-

NASA bombshell: Earth’s rotation is slowing - and it could cause major earthquakes

Earth’s rotation is slowing as our planet uses energy to keep the tidal bulge ahead of the Moon’s orbit. The Moon’s gravity keeps Earth’s rotation in check, and to do this the lunar satellite’s orbit must be slightly ahead of Earth’s. As the Moon attempts to regulate Earth’s rotation and slow it down, the Moon moves slowly away.

According to Matthew Funke, solar system ambassador for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who wrote on Q+A website Quora: “The Moon’s gravity creates a tidal bulge on the Earth. This bulge attempts to rotate at the same speed as the rest of the planet.

“As it moves ‘ahead’ of the Moon, the Moon attempts to pull it back. This slows the Earth’s rotation down.


“One of the rules of the Universe is that ‘angular momentum’ can’t go anywhere — even if individual pieces speed up, slow down, or change direction, the sum total of angular momentum cannot change.

The Earth loses angular momentum when the Moon slows it down, so the Moon has to gain it — and it does, by moving further away in its orbit

i see someone didn't pay attention in high school geometry.

if you could see the curvature of that body of water, then you would be living on the side of a cylinder.

and of course you know that you cant see the water curving away from you, because you can't see over the horizon.

so everything APPEARS flat...

but i'm trying to explain basic geometry to a flat-earther, so i'm really the stupid one here

Not a "bombshell" ... this isn't anything new. It was announced something like 20 years ago too, I've known about it ever since.

It is only perceived as a "bombshell" to the brain-dead social/AI generation, because the headline tells them how to think.

Why is there no friction in outer space?

Friction, caused by things in physical contact with each other, is largely absent in space. Space is almost totally empty, so there is no "road" for the space ship to rub against.

[link to www.google.com (secure)]

Theoretically, Earth can keep spinning indefinitely if nothing slows it down, a wandering planet with sufficient mass for example.

In rotational axis

It also moves with respect to Earth's crust; this is called polar motion. Precession is a rotation of Earth's rotation axis, caused primarily by external torques from the gravity of the Sun, Moon and other bodies. The polar motion is primarily due to free core nutation and the Chandler wobble.
