Zo, the IMU gives the user (or the programmer) the near real-lime x, y, and z position and the end of acceleration in any of these gets the user the resulting velocities in x, y, and z. Now, the magnetic sensor tells us where the north is. Because there is no sensor measuring the direction of the gravitation then the navigation is independent of the earth. Weee, I like that, because every person with a smart phone can prove whether the earth is flat or not. The Level app will do that. The presumed earth rotation is 24 hr per rev. Coast to coast diff is about 4 hrs resulting in about 1/6 of earth's circumference and this is about 60 degrees. So, gentlemen, start you jet engines, point your smart phone horizontally along with the Level app due East (or West) and when you land on the other coast, set your phone horizontally again. You know the answer. If the level shows 60 or so degrees of change the earth is a ball. If the Level shows zero or so degrees the earth is, well, flat.
I should thank Brax for this vid. Yet, it is really about critical thinking that many people have. And, considering that brainwashing does not fool all of the people all of the time, perhaps the coronavirus is yet another foolish infection myth easily disputed. ('The Invisible Rainbow' by Arthur Firstenberg. The three kinds of attempts trying to show the infection of the "Spanish" flu starts on page 80.)
