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?

No, it won't go past light speed. The answer was literally in the section of the wiki that you quoted. Next time, maybe give it some thought before making such a worthless post.

Remember that if one was traveling at the speed of light, light still travels at the speed of light in their own perspective. If another was looking at the same particle while they were stagnant then that particle would still be traveling at the speed of light. My point is that focusing on a single perspective in inherently wrong. Relativity, by disproving itself proves itself. A person at rest would see the equation be y/c=tanh(ax/c)
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/etn3sar8hh, however, the person accelerating would only preceve acceleration and no velocity. The equation would look like 0/c=tanh(ax/c) https://www.desmos.com/calculator/iqfaodnh07. Strange, right?

It's important to realize that there's more nuance to this argument. Yes, this hypothesis does not contradict with relativity in the seemingly obvious way of going over the speed of light. But one should recognize that UA posits that the entire universe accelerates with the Earth, and so we can't observe the massive length contraction that would happen if the Earth were the only thing accelerating, so the relative speeds never even get close to that high.

Others have already answered your question. I want to add, though, that if you're going to criticize UA for the reasons you provide, you also have to criticize the observation that's accepted by many scientists and by round earthers that the universe itself is accelerating. This is actually well-established in science: that the universe is accelerating. So, why can the universe be accelating in round earth theory, but the earth can't be accelerating in flat earth theory?

How do we know that the speed of light is the "fastest" speed at all. This could be also a hoax. Maybe they have lied about that also. That being said we could actually go faster than speed of light. Just a thought.
