Flat Earth Theory / Re: universal acceleration... really?

First of all i know acceleration also is the term of slowing down but it was not relevant as you said. Secondly if you were right and the acceleration would hit an asymtote then the force exerted on our feet by the earth would also decease proportionally with the actual acceleration. So if the earth moved 1 femtometer in 1 century(numbers given by the first reply as example) viewing from an inertial point outside the earth, that would mean that the actual accaleration (1femtometer/1century^2) would  be as good as zero which would render us weightless. The actual acc. is what counts not the energy what is put into a unknown energy. Imagine this: you are standing in an elevator and there are no forces that exert a force on you so you are just floating around. Then the elevator starts to accelerate at a speed of 9.81 m/s^2. This would feel like if you were just on earth. But eventually you will reach the lightspeed and faster as that isnt possible so the elevator stops accelerating and you start to float again. This ofcourse doesnt work so you said that the accaleration would slow down. So the elevator keeps lowering its acc. In other words the floor exerts less force onto your feet which leads to having a lower weight and the constant g wouldnt be constant anymore but decreasing over time. So this concept of universal acceleration is simple not possible. I would also like to mention that the force you are talking about has to be something from the fourth or higher dimention because for example u cant push yourself with your arms while standing still. This is because off newtons law every reaction has an equal opposite reaction like you probably already knew. So the same is for the universe because the whole universe moves with the earth. This is just a conceptual little fact just as a brain experiment.

It is a long texts so i thank you for reading it.

Flat Earth Theory / universal acceleration... really?

well thinking the earth is going up with a acceleration of 9.81m/s^2 (what Flat earthers call universal acceleration) is just an assumption while we have a reason for that called gravity. that is why on the moon, mars or any other celestial body with a mass m we all have a different gravity constants g. and last but not least i hope you know what acceleration means, right. it is the increase of speed over a timeperiod. so 9.81m/s^2 means that the speed of the upwards moving earth would increase with 9,81 m/s per second(9.81m/s/s=9.81m/s^2 just to clearify). this would mean that since the beginning of the earth (or whatever flat earthers regard as the beginning of the earth) its speed would keep increasing to an infinitely fast speed what would never stop increasing. this speed would soon go faster then the speed of light which is the upperlimit of speed for anything that carries information(mass). so it just isnt possible that the earth moves up with with that acceleration.

Flat Earth Theory / how does buoyancy work

« on: August 14, 2018, 06:19:50 PM »

i am fairly new too this topic and it seems quite interesting to me because the more i look into it, the more i get confused by the globe earth and that is why i am more leaning towards the flat earth model. but 1 thing that really confuses me is buoyancy. i cant really seem how it would work.
could you please elaborate this a little bit more to me because i i can't get my head around it.

i thank you in advance.
