   There is now absolute and incontrovertible proof that the Earth rotates on   
   its axis!   
   I just read it on the PetaPixel site about photography.   
   It turns out that cameras today that electronically compensate for the   
   fact cameras are held in the shaky hands of human photographers... can   
   only manage 6.5 stops worth of motion compensation based on their internal   
   gyroscopes, due to the Earth's rotation!   
   This limit isn't absolute, though. Cameras can overcome it by compensating   
   for the Earth's rotation... if they have on-board GPS to determine their   
   location and orientation!   
   Of course, though, the Ptolemaic geocentric solar system is not disproved   
   by this.
