Does Coriolis Force affects stuff NOT in contact with Earth? . The answer may surprise everyone, especially those in England, as today on t.v. one could watch TonyB speak, and as if on cue from another dimension a small number of those men seated around the Central would pop up and rotate for a short second, and then sit down .

I don't know if I just got my leg pulled by an intellect that's staggering in comparison to my own, or if I just got convinced of the real facts by said intellect. I think it's the latter. Either way, the W. Darling, etc bit is a riot! Someone else, who has a surprising grasp of things physical and automotive had asked me to verify what you'd said previously and I said it didn't look quite convincing to me but still seemed plausible. Seems more plausible now. Unfortunately, I know very little about physics, so I can basically follow your argument, but don't know enough to spot any flaws in it if they exist.
