145065600000000000 seconds = 4.6 billion

so multiply that by 9.81 m/s

1423093536000000000 m/s

isnt that over the speed of light?

You are not taking into consideration Special Relativity. The fact that it is possible for the Universe to accelerate forever and not reach the speed of light is not really contested by any of the intelligent RE'ers here.

The FAQ tells us (And proves mathematically) that earth cannot go faster than the speed of light. I am pleased about that because  relativity tells us that even though you continue to feel 1 g acceleration, you just keep getting closer and closer to the speed of light without ever getting there.

The relevant equation is v/c = tanh (at/c). Since tanh(at/c) is always less than 1, you can never reach the speed of light.

According to the theory of special relativity, earth accelerating at one standard gravity (9.80665 m/sē) will have the speeds shown in the table below.

The Earth acts as a sort of shield against it. The Earth takes the full force of the UA while we do not. However, it should be noted that we are still indirectly affected by it's force since it moving the Earth is moving us.

The answer is nothing.  Why FEers would seriously believe a mysterious, undocumented force acts solely upon the bottom of the flat Earth and nothing else (not even anything else on Earth) is beyond me.

I hold UA to be something else.

UA gets weaker when it passes through objects.

In the FET the earth's mass doesn't have gravity there for special relativity cant apply to it. FET mass is different from RET mass. You cant just decided to mix the two to support an answer. Or does FET mass behave like RET mass, in which case it has gravity?

Both FET and RET share their views on mass. So special relativity applies.

However it is their view on weight that differs. Whilst both agree on the figure, the phenomenon that causes weight is disagreed upon. Gravity/UA.

Actually in some factions of FET, gravity very much exists, but I do not want to fragment the thread.
For the sake of UA theory it does not exist.
Whilst mass does not cause gravity with UA theory, mass is still there. Mass after all is Density x Volume. Things still have both a density and a volume in FE. It is just that this mass does not create a magical force, attracting all else to it.
One is not reliant on the other. Both theories enjoy the property of mass. How a mass is given weight is the dividing point. UA/Gravity.

Do link to where it says mass is the cause of gravity.

The cause of gravity is currently unknown in RET.

If mass causes gravity, why do photons have gravity?

Because they have mass.

Please show me how you determined 1) photons have gravity and 2) photons don't have intrinsic mass and 3) photons don't have momentum. Thanks.

I would say much of computer science is based on input/output, cause/effect relations. Not a whole lot of correlation involved with programming and building a computer.

Non-responsive. Please answer the question. Don't confuse engineering with Science.

Do link to where it says mass is the cause of gravity.

Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass
A body's mass also determines the degree to which it generates or is affected by a gravitational field.

Where does that quote say that mass causes gravity?

Quote from: EnglshGentleman on November 15, 2010, 10:12:34 AM

That just tells there is a correlation between the two, not that one causes the other.

Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitation
Gravitation, or gravity, is a natural phenomenon in which objects with mass attract one another.

From the Wiki I can infer that things with mass have a gravitational force, or gravity.
Which satisfies TB's question
As for EG - I think the Wiki just answered that as well.

To be fair, sometimes what FE'ers say makes so little sense that it's hard to come up with a rebuttal.
Moonlight is good for you.

How is engineering not a science?  ???

To convince me mass causes gravitational attraction, you would first have to prove the mechanism behind gravity.

Good luck with that.  ;)
