Things with UA are even worse. You have to consider that the earth is being pushed on by a dark force field, along with at least the Sun and Moon. I suppose that some of the stars are also being pushed, but there are other observed bodies that are moving at a different velocity relative to the earth. You can see this with the red shift. It can't really be a 'universal force' if other objects are effected differently. All this because the concept of gravity is being abandoned for the earth. The Earth's mass somehow shields the things on the top surface from the force of UA. Gravity is an attractive force. A very large object, like a star, keeps a much smaller object, like a planet in orbit because of the constant force of gravity is accelerating the planet. Remember that acceleration is a vector and can either be a change in velocity, or a change in direction, or both. The much larger object, like a star, is also being accelerated by the much smaller force of the orbiting planet. In fact astronomers have found the evidence of planets around distant stars because of the small perturbations of the star. Also the planet Pluto was found because of the noticed perturbations of the orbits of Neptune and Uranus. Yes, I know that if gravity is actually brought back in FET then there would be another problem. Namely on a flat earth everything is attracted to the center of mass. That would mean that at the edge of the planet, like near the South Pole the pull of gravity would not be anywhere near vertical. The FET folks say they don't have to explain anything because that theory was the first. It would be nice if a few workable equations were derived to explain all the anomalies that currently exist and can be seen and measured in observatories all over the world. Since the flat earth theory has been around longer, you would think that the equations and theories would be a lot more advanced.
