UA doesn't accelerate the ball.  Once the ball leaves your hand and reaches its maximum height (after your throw), it enters an inertial frame of reference in which it "floats" in the air. The Earth accelerates you up, so your hand catches it. In a bystander's point of view, it looks as if the ball falls back to your hand.
So you saying it somehow magically loses it momentum? That makes a lot of damn sense. I can't reference newton's laws here because obviously you don't believe in them.

Ball leaves hand: No longer accelerating.
Earth accelerating constantly: Catches up with ball.

Exactly. Ball leaves hand with velocity higher than earth. Earth accelerates to meet it.
So your saying that the earth consciously speeds up to meet this ball? Wouldn't you feel that? Your weight would suddenly spike, this makes no sense.

Yes the Earth speeds up. It's always speeding up which is why you do indeed feel it every time you put your feet on the ground. I think the problem you're having is distinguishing velocity and acceleration. In FE theory the Earth is accelerating at a rate of 9.8 ms-2. When you hold a ball it is also accelerating at that rate (via you) seeing as it's distance to Earth is constant (unless you start waving it up and down of course). If you let go then there is nothing to keep pushing the ball and accelerate it so it stays at the velocity it was the moment it was dropped. The Earth is of course still accelerating so eventually catches up with the ball.

How is the earth accelerating constantly? One of you FErs already said the earth travels at a consistent rate of 1g. We would constantly be growing in eight very rapidly if this were the case. And Who's side are you on?

FE theory does not explain the mechanism of the acceleration much like RE theory does not explain the mechanism of gravitation. The Earth does accelerate at 1g in FE theory. In RE theory we acclerate towards the Earth at 1g. The two are indistinguishable as Einstein pointed out. I'm not sure what growing in eight means. My side depends purely on the debate in hand.

So the ball just loses all it's momentum? I've already brought this up, friction would not completely stop the ball.

I'm not sure what you mean. Why would it lose anything? Nothing stops the ball. The ball is moving at constant velocity once it is let go of. The Earth accelerates upwards to meet the ball and, once it hits the ball, the ball continues to accelerate again. You're confusing acceleration and velocity again. You do not need any force to keep an object moving at constant velocity. You do need a force to accelerate an object. When you let go of the ball it carries on at constant velocity (ignoring air resistance - The Earth is pushing up the air too). I cannot explain it any more clearly. I don't know what momentum has to do with any of this.

Have you read the answers to the FAQ? Those sound like they came from a 2nd grader writing a book...


At least what is taught in school is logical and makes more sense than almost everything I see posted on here from the FE members...

Why even bother explaining it to you guys? If someone does, you'll probably make up some bullshit answer to add to the FAQ for the other 6 billion people on Earth smart enough to know the Earth is round to laugh in your faces about.


This site is a conspiracy...a big joke. It was probably designed by someone who thought it would be funny to get into debates with people about Earth's shape, and make up funny, completely random answers to why it is flat. Answers which make no sense, by the way.


And if it wasn't, I have lost all faith in humanity.

It pulls us to the fucking Earth so we don't float away. It pulls us to the Earth while the Earth pushes up on us. It's called action-reaction, but you wouldn't know what that is, because you didn't take Physics, apparently.

I can't speak for Gayer but I know I was lied to in school.  I even read it in textbooks.  The force of gravity sucks us to the earth.  It's bizarre that they actually teach that.

Interesting correlation to the other thread about the coriolis myth.  The link posted notes how many teachers propagate the coriolis drain myth.

Quote from: http://www.ems.psu.edu/~fraser/Bad/BadCoriolis.html
Why would a teacher offer such garbage to students when it is so easy to check. A trip to the school washroom (let alone the ones at home) will reveal drainage in both directions.

Is knowledge just a bunch of abstractions to be memorized with no recourse to the relevance of everyday experience?

Even a damn textbook!!

Quote from: http://www.ems.psu.edu/~fraser/Bad/BadCoriolis.html
     "...on a smaller scale, the coriolis effect causes water draining out a bathtub to rotate counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere..."

Sigh, this mind-numbing example of scientific incompetence is offered by author, Paul A. Tipler, on page 128 of his book, Physics for Engineers and Scientists, 4th Edition.
