Flat Earth Theory / Re: On the Subject of Constellations

Ok, what about the fact that we can't see some constellations on different parts of the earth?

Flat Earth Theory / On the Subject of Constellations

If the earth is constantly moving upwards, constantly changing its positions, why do the constellations we're used to see barely change?

If you're thinking about saying that it's because these constellations are pretty far away and our perspective would barely change, sorry to disappoint you, but...

Why are there constellations that can only be seen on one half of the earth, commonly known as hemisphere, and can't be seen on the other?

We do feel it, it's our 'weight' pressing us down
Constant speed we would not feel it

It's not your weight. When you're touching the ground you don't feel like you're constantly accelerating upwards.

Also, if the earth is moving upwards at about 9,8m/s2, meaning that every second its speed increases by 9,8m/s, the speed of the earth going upwards would just get bigger and bigger and at one point reach the speed of light and even go beyond.

Well, I just thought of 2 things.

1- If the earth is really going up and pushing the air with it, wouldn't we have a much more concentrated layer of air at the surface of the earth?

2- If earth was indeed going upwards at about 9,8m/s2, we would feel it. We would feel no difference if the earth was not moving or if it was going up at a constant speed, but with an acceleration we would definitely feel it.

And how would that work according to this theory? Is the air surrounding the earth going up too, along with the earth?

It has been said by many flat earth believers that gravity is not responsible for the objects falling to the ground. It's explained by them that in fact the earth is going upwards, and from our perspective it looks like those objects are descending. I assume that they mean these objects are "frozen" in space, only moving when earth pushes them.
Now, if the earth is going up, that means that every point of the planet is moving exactly at the same speed, so that the earth can move upwards without suffering any deformations. So, since every part of the planet would be going up at the same speed, we would see every object falling exactly at the same speed: even if we dropped a feather and an anvil from a certain height, we'd expect to see them falling at the same speed. But we don't. What causes this?
