Flat Earth Theory / The Earth is Constantly Accelerating?
« on: January 14, 2018, 09:53:54 PM »
Pulled from your FAQ page on January 14th, 2018 at 3:45 p.m.: "The earth isn't pulled into a sphere because the force known as gravity exists in a greatly diminished form compared to what is commonly taught. The earth is constantly accelerating up at a rate of 32 feet per second squared (or 9.8 meters per second squared). This constant acceleration causes what you think of as gravity. Imagine sitting in a car that never stops speeding up. You will be forever pushed into your seat. The earth works much the same way. It is constantly accelerating upwards being pushed by a universal accelerator (UA) known as dark energy or aetheric wind.
There are also other theories of flat earth thought that maintain that the earth sits on an infinite plane, with the sun moving overhead. Gravity works much like it does in a round-earth model, and the earth will never form into a sphere because the plane is endless.
Due to special relativity, this is not the case. At this point, many readers will question the validity of any answer which uses advanced, intimidating-sounding physics terms to explain a position. However, it is true. The relevant equation is v/c = tanh (at/c). One will find that in this equation, tanh(at/c) can never exceed or equal 1. This means that velocity can never reach the speed of light, regardless of how long one accelerates for and the rate of the acceleration."
Due to your accepting that the Earth is constantly accelerating at 9.8m/s^2 and that an object's velocity can never exceed the velocity of light, which is 300,000,000 m/s, you cannot say that the Earth is doing such a thing. If an object accelerates at a starting velocity of 0m/s and accelerates at 9.8m/s^2 for 30,612,245 seconds, then its velocity will equal 300,000,001m/s. So, how do you explain gravity, then?
