Everybody here is talking about relativity, rotating frames of reference,
speed of light etc.  All you need do is place a large pendulum anywhere
on the planet (except at or near the equator) and you may observe the
earth rotate beneath it.  But I guess Swami Mad-what's-his-name will just
define the pendulum as the rest-of-the-universe other than earth and say
it is attached to the rotating stars.  Even though it is here on dear old
centre-of-the-universe planet earth.  This guy has obviously fallen out
of a very tall tree and no matter what you say he is going to be blissfully
happy with the thorough completeness of his ignorance.
