Different accelerations?
« on: January 24, 2013, 02:16:19 AM »
If the Earth is moving upwards shouldn't the acceleration be equal at all points on the Earth? Gravitational acceleration changes from 9.78 m·s^−2 at the Equator to about 9.832 m·s^−2 at the Poles. Also, the density of rocks in the vicinity causes fluctuations in the gravitational field.  How is this possible?

We actually have several threads open about this very topic already. In short, the flat earth society don't believe that gravity does vary. We think its a constant. (actually we don't believe in gravity at all, but instead universal acceleration due to the equivalence principle as first explained by Albert Einstein, but that's another story).

Please read around some of the other current threads. Examples such as gold prices, aircraft fuel loads and how much you weigh on holiday are currently being discussed in relation to this.

Oh, and welcome to the flat earth society. :D

Ok... but those values are measured by gravimeters o.o

Did you try to check this assumption?

No they havnt we have provided ways that any normal person can check the results them selves and the anserw we get us that they know it is wrong so they have no need to check, or something along those lines.
