I don't see any problems with the earth exceeding the speed of light.
The theory of relativity is commonly used to explain why UA does not reach the speed of light, this is a contradiction, because the theory of relativity states that objects with mass slow down when they are close to the speed of light.
In the ether theory, the speed of light is a variable and exceeding it does not seem to be a problem, the earth can surpass the speed of light and continue accelerating infinitely.

Michelson Morley's vertical experiments can detect the etheric wind from the luminiferous ether downwards:

Neutrinos can exceed the speed of light:

Regular light can also exceed the speed of light: https://wiki.tfes.org/Sagnac_Experiment#Jos.C3.A9_Croca

It is so interesting that FE says we have been accelerating at 32 ft/sec/sec for thousands of years. We must be going pretty fast in some huge space and we never hit anything. So presumably, the space we are acceleration throughYet the dome model has no way to observe what is outside the dome, the space through which we are accelerating. So according to UA, all we know is how fast the earth is accelerating infinitely through possibly empty space, which is puzzling, because acceleration is in relation to some fixed point, and with UA and the dome model there is no known fixed point outside of the dome.

In RE Theory some parts of the universe are accelerating at FTL speeds relative to other parts of the universe. Look it up.

It is so interesting

Not interesting enough to finish reading the name of Universal Acceleration, eh?

Acceleration can't be universal if by that you mean every existing thing. You must be moving relative to something or the velocity is not measurable. In RE, we simply don't know if the known universe as a whole is accelerating or moving in any way. In FE, at least the most common version, the entire known universe is the surface of the earth, the sky, and maybe a dome.

Are the stars fixed on the dome, or are we moving universally with them? What is universal acceleration in relation to? Perhaps there must be something but we can never see it? Perhaps we only know that because Michelson-Morley we know the earth is flat, and because things fall at 32 ft/sec/sec we know it must be accelerating? That would be taking the falling object as the reference and the rest of the universe as moving. Can we ever have an external reference?

Please advise any error I may have made. Hope to hear some good answers.

I don't. You could just read about it instead of guessing endlessly.
