I have a friend who believes that if he spins in a circle he is changing the angular momentum of the Earth and therefore is slowing down the Earth's rotation. Can someone explain exactly why this is not true? To me it is common sense, but I am no physics major.
Also, the same friend is telling me that if we put too many wave generators in the ocean that use the ocean tides to make energy, we will change the orbit of the moon and cause major problems. Can someone also explain why this is not true?
Thank you for your expertise.
Kind regards,
