Flat Earth Theory / Re: Flat Earth DEBUNKING BUOYANCY/DENSITY NONSENSE.
« on: July 28, 2017, 02:53:45 PM »2) The Earth is accelerating upwards at 9.8 m/s/s because of...magic pixie dust...whatever. This would indeed reproduce all the effects of gravity. Albert Einstein was kind enough to prove that equivalence in his General theory of relativity. The first complaint of most RE'ers about this is that after a billion years of this acceleration, the world would be going faster than light and that's not possible...but enter Albert Einstein again - and because time/length and mass change for the people inside the moving Earth - any outside observer would see the earth's acceleration being slowed by the slowing passage of time as it goes faster - so it never exceeds light speed...and for people on the accelerating earth, there is no problem whatever. The reason this theory cannot be true is that gravity is measurably different at the equator compared to the poles - and the earth can only accelerate at one rate without tearing itself apart. So although this is by far the most popular FE theory on this forum, it's also BUSTED.
Well, since you used all capital letters, you must be right. It is clear you have done no research into UA, otherwise you would know that your points have literally been addressed. I would suggest you maybe do some research before you post again so you don't come off so ignorant. It would also probably be good if you refreshed yourself on acceleration and Special Relativity as well. It would help the conversation move forward.
Well do you actually have a reply to him?
I couldn't find any explanation about gravity being lower at poles in the UA article of the wiki, can you please link me the explanation you were talking about ?
Thank you
