Your bullet is only moving faster than speed of light if measured from a reference frame outside of the earths.
As for the speed of light question, the earth is not traveling at the speed of light. We are way way beyond the speed of light, and accelerating all the time. The only issue in terms of acceleration arises at the barrier point between "lower than the speed of light" and "above the speed of light". Since we're firmly in the "above" zone, the issue of local acceleration isn't an issue.
Quote from: "Chuck Norris"It's impossible to travel ABOVE the speed of light and yet you say that the Earth is traveling FASTER than the speed of light. How can this be?
No, it says it's impossible to accelerate above the speed of light.
NEEMAN: I can certainly see what looks like curvature in the top picture. The other two aren't as great, but I can see what you mean.
I think human eyesight might have some kind of "terminal distance", after which things become maybe a little hazy, and eventually seem to disappear alltogether. This likely depends a lot on atmospheric conditions; the common FE theory is that, over a long enough distance, the number of light reflecting particles will eventually increase to such a point that anything beyond a certain distance is obscured.
What's the alternative? Gravity? Are you claiming to understand the "why" behind that?
QuoteIf it was of any significant height it would be possible to see a curve in the horizen. This can be observed by anyone at any time, anywhere, as per my other thread.
I can't recall having noticed this phenomenon recently. Could you perhaps post a picture illustrating your claim?
If by "the rest of the universe" you mean the sun, moon, and cosmos that hang perpetually at a fixed distance a few thousand miles above earth, then yes they are accelerated at the same rate.
Even from the top of a tall building, it looked flat.
What proof do you have that it's round?
Dark enegry exerts force on the "bottom" of the earth, accelerating it upwards at a constant rate so that we don't float away.
I discovered it this morning when I did not float away.
simply because it isnt there, the earth isnt curved, thats an optical illusion, its flat, like a pancacke
I've heard this one a lot, and I'm almost certain that it's an untenable claim.
If you're referring to this sort of curve:
then I am so not impressed. How do you know you're not just looking a disc? As it turns out, I drew that figure by drawing a circular arc, not by drawing a sphere and putting it through a perspective projection (i.e., what your eyes do).
From anywhere on the planet, there is a distinct and general curve which is clearly visible. It is even visible at sea, which makes the idea that it is simply a curved geographical feature on a generally flat Earth an obvious fallacy. You yourselves claim that water would fall off the Earth if it were not held back. Thus, water obeys some form of gravity. If this is true, it could not possibly be curved in the fashion which is visible if the Earth was flat. Only in a spherical Earth could this occur.
Have you heard of hills?
Can I claim the earth isn't a sphere because the foundation of my house is perfectly level? Surely you realize that every inch of surface area on a sphere has some curvature, so any flat area on earth certainly proves the earth is not a sphere.
No, it's still the product of a conspiracy, since everything that contradicts one's belief is false and only there to undermine said belief.
