How fast is the earth going?
« on: March 25, 2013, 10:30:20 AM »
If my understanding of the FE principle is accurate, we feel what RE'ers call gravity through a continuous acceleration of the Earth right?

At what rate is the earth accelerating?

Is the rest of the universe accelerating at the same speed?

How fast is the earth going?

Has it surpassed the speed of light?

What keeps the earth from wripping itself apart from the extream forces on it?

I'll try to explain:

It is accelerating at 9.8 m/s^2, the average gravitational acceleration we are used to measure. The small differences on g are attributed either to a "slight pull" of the celestial objects, the fact that acceleration is not entirely uniform, "aetheric wind theory" or denied altogether.

Yes, this is why earth doesn't collide with other celestial objects. It's not clear how some celestial bodies happen to fall on earth though.

For us standing on earth, it is stationary. For a hypothetical observer on space, the answer to this question depends on when earth was formed.

No, and it never will. Apparently FE'ers believe in special relativity.

If you subscribe to the idea that the acceleration is not completely uniform, I have no idea. Earth should have fallen apart a long time ago, but then again this is not your ordinary force, it has special properties never verified that prevent this from happening. If the acceleration is the same on every single point (incredible fine tuning), to which forces are you referring to?

Please don't use fine tuning arguments to debunk an idea. They are paper thin. I have seen them too many times in theist-antitheist debates. There is no reason why something should not be fine tuned. Yes the probability is not very good that a fine tuned force will come in to existence, however since we exist after that fine tuned force has come into existence, it's probability is 1. The bigger problem is the lack of accurate model to describe the stabilizing mechanism of AW.

Aetheric Wind, the hypothesized medium through which the Universal Accelerator is transmitted.
