Dark Energy and RET are separate. Much like RET and evolution.
FET directly depends on the UA. Without a UA, FET fails.

Username, I am curious as to how you believe FE works without a UA. A new theory sounds interesting.
If I was asked to imagine a perfect deity, I would never invent one that suffers from a multiple personality disorder. Christians get points for originality there.

Show this.  FE theory was around alot longer than UA.

So like I said, you get to have a massive energy source, but the FE can't have one?  That's not very fair.


Now, how about the original debate topic?

FE theory started when people thought gravity was a force, believed in intelligent falling (God pushes crap down), or ignored it entirely.

What the... are you talking about? Is this feigning poor communication skills to avoid a question? Puh-leeese specify clearly.

I mean seriously... What does this mean?:

Well for example, it has been shown an infinite earth can exert finite gravitational pull.  This, for one, could explain our observations.

Like wise, there are ways a flat finite earth could be created that would also explain our observations.  For example, one that was sufficiently large and gradually less dense as you move rimward.

Is that anymore helpful? I can post equations if you want, later when I have some time.

So people closer to the edge would feeling gravity pulling them to the side as well as down?

If they could get that far out, yes.  However, that would be a long long long long long long way.  Near the Antarctic this would not be observed because you would have about the same amount of gravitation affecting you.  The less dense areas are too far away to make a measurable difference.

1. Sun moon still screwed up.
2. gravitation? that means acceleration right? (UA is coming back!!!!  :o)

Gravitation causes acceleration, but that has nothing to do with UA.

I don't see the problem with the sun and moon, but I'm in a hurry.  If you could expalin it, I'll answer it when i get back later tonight or tomorrow.

With real gravity (not gravitation) the sun and moon would fall down... right?

Even in round earth there is no "real gravity", just gravitation.

However, there is more gravitational pull from above the moon than from the earth.  This is why we can see that the moon is moving away from the earth at about 4cm per year.

What's right above the moon pulling it up?

The edges of the infinite earth since the gravitation vectors end up getting stronger int he opposite direction the further up you get

Why would gravitational vectors get stronger in the opposite direction? I thought the effects of gravity were less noticeable far away. (decaying curve) I'm imagining mass repelling other mass because its far away.  ??? ??? ???

It evens out at the center, and when you move up the horizontal vectors become more and more vertical until eventually they are pulling you upwards, as you are closer to the mass above you than below.

I think I said that right, but I may not have.  I'm having a hard time concentrating, alot of noise here. heh

His posts being the "lack of responses" one probably. His round Earth Site seems rather old and debate issues older still.  That's just my guess, but what harm is there in answering new topics?  ???

In either case, I want to hear more about mass repelling mass from Username! :D

Regarding the other debate, I am currently doing more research as my understanding of Lorenz transformations was only mostly accurate. Stand by.  :)

Upon further investigation I have not found anything I consider reliable that is contrary to what you said.

However, Yiak is right that I would like to discuss issues that haven't been properly addressed.
