UA is explicit saying the earth is accelerating upward, thus there is NO way to give an explanation on lower acceleration at the top of a mountain than at sea level
But there is a way, and it was already provided to you. As your altitude increases, so does celestial gravitation, which in turn causes you to perceive less of the Earth's acceleration.
this incredibly important aspect of UA, and its two whole lines in the wiki:
Celestial Gravitation is a part of some Flat Earth models which involve an attraction by all objects of mass on earth to the heavenly bodies. This is not the same as Gravity, since Celestial Gravitation does not imply an attraction between objects of mass on Earth. Celestial Gravitation accounts for tides and other gravimetric anomalies across the Earth's plane.I love how the description is basically saying its gravity, but not its not gravity. I mean, this is a pretty significant detail to be left to two lines of text. Putting aside that you guys are using gravity to debunk gravity...it doesnt resolve the issue of differential observed gravity values that i have brought up.
The issue is that UA is based on the earth accelerating upward a 1G. The acceleration has the same affect of gravity per the equivalence principle. i agree with this 100%, there would be no difference. the issue is that we are not talking gravity, if we were, then the negative gravitational (celestial) would indeed act to cancel out some of the gravitation affects and you would observe lower than 1G at higher elevations as you approach the heavenly bodies.
But hold on, we are not discussing gravity, UA is saying the earth is physically accelerating upwards. You have two accellerations, for giggles lets just use the following math:
sea level; elevation 0 meters; 1G (9.807 m/s
2)
Top of mount everest = elevation 4,900 meters = gravity is 9.773 m/s
2that is a difference of 0.034 m/s
2 which is the catch-up acceleration that the bottom of the mountain would be 'chasing' the top...
simple kinematics would show that over the course of a year, the top of the mountain would of decreased by 22,338 meters...yeah, kind of an issue.
X = x
0 + v
ot + 0.5at
2of course the gravitational difference would be decreasing as the the top of the mountain lowered and this would eventually equalize so i know the 22,338m is not accurate...but it proves the point that you cant have two different accelerations on earth, as acceleration is related to
MOTION....you can have two different gravity (
FORCE) values however, and thats very easily defined based on distance from the center of the mass.
you cant interchange and state that gravity or "celestial gravition" has an impact of physical acceleration. its impossible. UA is debunked.
