Hi @FlatEarthOrg, have you considered the possibility of a concave earth, where we live on the interior surface of a spinning sphere, the antipodes far above our heads? This could also explain gravity as a centrifugal force, and our ability to circumnavigate via the South Pole.

I hate to spoil it for you but a concave Earth would still have its center of mass in its center. And the apparent centrifugal force would be unnoticeable unless it's spinning very fast. In which case the Coriolis effect would be so great that you'd witness it even while walking
There would be no net gravity inside such a shell, though. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_theorem … - but you're right there would be an apparent sideways effect (not sure it's Coriolis, though...) anywhere north or south of the "equator". That's a valid flaw in my idea.

I think you forget that there’s a massive ball (the Sun) floating around inside here.

I figured the sun, planets, stars and galaxies were all done with smoke and mirrors. Better explanations are welcome...
