Science!

[dvandom]

Well, more like science, not SCIENCE!. But still. Back in grad school I worked out an explanation of the Coriolis force that didn't require using all sorts of complicated principles. It had holes, and I found a better explanation. That has stood until recently, when a guy in Germany started emailing me about a problem with it. I'm still not totally sure what he's getting at, but clearly it's time for another revision. And here it is! The part I need to re-explain in the most depth isn't done yet, I'm still building the props.

Edit: I borrowed a basketball from the lab equipment room and used it and some micro-Gundam figures to finish up my explanation.
