whyh earth going up makes no sense to me.
« on: July 05, 2010, 10:43:36 PM »
alright so heres an question for the flat earthers: if were constantly accelerating UP then don't we all go tumbling around?! whys everything so stable!? Imagine people put rockets on the bottom of ur house (bear with me) and you go up into the sky. that house is going to SHAKE REALLY REALLY HARD! so why on earth arent we all rockin around like a roller coaster/!??!?!? mayb the earth is stationary?! im an earth shape agnostic so i dont know.

While the concept of a Universal Accelerator is silly at best, your notions are far worse. If you lean far enough to a side, you will topple over, but you will remain stationary as long as you maintain balance. The reason this differs from a 'rocket house' is because if the house veers slightly, the rocket, and thus the direction of the force impulse, also changes, and that effect will become cumulative unless it is corrected. Now, if you mean, why don't we experience shaking? That would be the air colliding with the rocket. There is no turbulence in space. Well, at least not to the same degree.

there is not turbulence in outer space

yes but theres turbulence in the earth. so at least on the earth we would feel SOMETHING!

The turbulence is due to moving through air at high speeds.

The earth is not moving with respect to the earth.
therefore, there is not differential in velocity to cause turbulance.

ok so both RE'ers and FE'ers say air is produced by trees on the earth right? lays an important question b4 us: so air is in space then?! so the air from the trees goes into space?! i mean seriously this sounds silly.

As long as the acceleration is uniform, it should mimic gravity almost perfectly.  Shaking in rockets and rollercoasters is caused by horizontal accelerations, and if the force is perfectly applied perpendicular to the plane of the flat earth, there should be no sideways motion, unless other forces are involved.  Acceleration can only happen along the vector of a net force.

No, because the air is being pulled down by gravity in one model, and being pulled down by the fictious force in the other
