Hello, firstly I realise that this is reguarded as satire by most people, however I have various pieces of evidence I would like to put forward for anyone neive* enough to believe.
*You believe everyone who does believe in a spherical Earth is neive so don't comment on my opinion
Firstly I would like to draw attention to the fact that if the earth is truely accelarating, instead of having gravity, the stars above us would appear to be getting closer and would be blue shifted (the light emitted would appear blue, because the gap between the emitter and observer is decreasing).
Unless the stars are also accelerating...
Futhermore accelaration requires a constant force (otherwise forces are balanced and the result will be a constant speed).
Yeah, the UA, a theoretical constant force
Even a constant force would not yield the constant accelaration, because as speed increases the energy usually given to increase speed begins to increase the mass instead of speed. This means the force applied would have to increase expotentially. The increase in mass would also increase the gravity of the Earth (You have admitted bodies other than the Earth have gravity, elsewhere to explain orbits etc...), to the point where it would collapse in upon itself and form a black hole.
This is where the FEers get complicated. They say if everything is accelerating, our relative velocity is 0 (??
?)
Finally the most direct, indisputable of the group, Water fills the area directly in the direction of the force so...
Look towards the ocean in real life and in photos and you will notice a slight change in angle from the two edges of your view (the ocean is not exactly flat, so neither is the force holding the water to the Earth, so the force is gravity, which means the Earth has gravity and would collapse in on itself if it had a flat surface.
That looks pretty flat.
I bid good-day to you all.
You too.
