Flat Earth Theory / Re: Question about tides/gravity
« on: August 27, 2017, 12:23:29 PM »I read the wiki on tides, but it didn't have much info. As we know, large bodies of water (and land, ftm) go through regular tidal changes caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon. FET claims the tides are caused by the gravitational pull of stars. It also states that the Moon has some gravitational attraction, which helps cause the tides. This raises a very important question. What force keeps the Moon from crashing into the Earth given this attraction?If u need more info please message me I may be wrong but I think gravity is nothing more than centripetal acceralation.Since as go away from earth gravity decreases which should not happen,it should constant as whole but in centripetal acceralation we know that as far u move from earth the acceralation radial decreases since its inversely proportional to the radius of a curved surface.
