Radio Show & Podcast Feedback / Coriolis Force - Myth?
« on: 25/10/2005 00:42:05 »
On a recent episode a call-in asked about the direction water spins when it goes down a drain. The answer given, though I'm not sure because it was never named, referred to the Coriolis Effect. Now I was led to believe that the drains being affected by the Coriolis Force was a myth.

So my question: Is it fact or fiction?
