Title: Universal acceleration makes no damn sense(in a polite way
Post by: globeboyobservingflatboys on November 05, 2018, 02:55:22 AM

 if the earth were accelerating at 9.8 meters per second per second that would be catastrophic! if light travels at 299792458 meters per second, it would take less than a year to reach relativistic speeds(light or near light speeds) the earth has clearly been around for more than one year. and we clearly arent going at light speeds! I want an explanation!

Incorrect! Learn a bit about Special Relativity.

OP, please read the wiki/FAQ and learn some of the basics. Locking the thread.
