Flat Earth Debate / Accelerating?
« on: July 14, 2016, 08:32:43 AM »
I've seen around the FE debate that everything in the visible universe is accelerating. I have 2 counterarguments, with 3 subcounterarguments:
1. When you're accelerating, you can feel the fact that you're accelerating. But, we don't feel the acceleration of the FE, and no scientist has measured it.
2. If everything is accelerating, this wouldn't cause the phenomena of gravity. There are also some properties of gravity that need explaining that aren't covered by acceleration:
1. Objects float in less dense mediums. You can easily test this yourself.
2. Denser objects cause stronger gravity.
3. Gravity weakens as you get further away.
