As seen in this Gish galloping thread > [@Article June 25, 2010: How does the earth’s rotation affect the path of a bullet?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/article-june-25-2010-how-does-the-earth-s-rotation-affect-the-path-of-a-bullet/824423): > > I cannot imagine any property of physics that would account for the earth spinning at 1040 mph at the equator amounting to 1,525 ft. per second would cause a targeting adjustment of only a few inches. A formula can be created; however the contradictions that occur keeps the formula at a stage of unproven theory. Following is my analysis regarding the Coriolis effect and gravity: I. If you stand dead center of the North Pole, there is no centrifugal force. It takes 24 hours for one to rotate 3… that at one point inadvertently ‘proves’ that the Moon doesn’t exist --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/does-the-design-of-a-very-large-building-have-to-account-for-the-curvature-of-the-earth/949455)._
