Nope to the "No, he is accelerating upwards." part. 

So when you are in freefall, you are both inertial and accelerating?

When in freefall you are accelerating only due to gravitation.

Yes, for free fall only.  Me accelerating in my car is still non inertial.

I already had that open.  Now tell me where is says the acceleration is in the up direction.

Please draw a free body diagram of all forces acting on a person in freefall.

There are no forces acting on someone in free fall(in a vacuum). 


Are you claiming there are forces?

Nope, never did. 

How can there be acceleration without a force?

It may be worth stating if we're dealing with point-like observers or extended objects at this point - remember that every point observer sees locally flat (Minkowski) spacetime...

Also - all forces/accelerations/velocities/masses have to be measured relative to something - I think one of the problems you guys are having is that the problem is not well defined enough.  State a specific example (neurtron orbiting the Earth - basically pointlike observer, or Moon/Earth - perturbative, extended observer) and go from there.

How would a sky diver hit the ground if he never accelerated?

Bodies in free fall accelerate in both the RET and the FET.(assuming not in a vacuum)

There was a thread where skydivers came up.  Map out the acceleration of a skydiver in the FE and RE and you will see.

You seem very smart robosteve. Thats why my brain is melting right now.

Am I missintepretating 'freefall'? As in skydiver (before counteracted by airresistance)? As in throwing a ball up and then catches it when it comes back?

I know youre going to give a challenged answer.

The ground accelerates up to meet the skydiver.

No amount of education will get those cogs in your head spinning.

No it isn't. It holds true for both models.

Bodies in free fall accelerate in both the RET and the FET.(assuming not in a vacuum)

There was a thread where skydivers came up.  Map out the acceleration of a skydiver in the FE and RE and you will see. 

Of course if they aren't in a vacuum, they will accelerate due to friction (unless the medium that they are in is moving at the same velocity).

You have the correct interpretation of freefall. One of the strange consequences of relativity is that you are accelerating up, falling objects are not accelerating down.

Damn. Im thinking RE all the time. Its very hard to get into the FE mindset, but Ill get there.
