you say gravity doesnt exist, and we stay on the earth and not in space because the earth is flat, etc, etc

what would happen if the earth flipped over?


We'd most likely be crushed by whatever force is accelerating Earth.

How does that make sense? If the force solely applies to Earth and it doesn't flip with the Earth, then it would be exactly the same. If the force did flip, then we'd just get left behind.

You have that backwards, but yes.

How is that wrong?

The force doesn't flip: The force stays in the +y direction. Earth moves on it's own, appearing to us to fall beneath us because we are now on the -y side.

The force does flip: The force moves in the -y direction. We are on the -y side. Earth moves us in the -y direction. Everything appears the same.

If Earth flips and the force doesn't, it will then pushing on the "top" of Earth where we are. The force would then be pushing directly on us, and we would be sandwhiched between it and Earth.
A different world cannot be built by indifferent people.

If it doesn't flip but the earth does, we will be left behind, as we are now on the bottom side of the earth.

If the force flipped as well as the earth, then everything would be the same.

Ah, I see. I said it wrong the first time.

What causes this force?
What is it made from? Air? Water? A giant hand?

Obviously haven't read Dogplatter's Universal Accelerator theory in the Flat Earth Information Repository.

The mechanism is still unknown, but the effects have been observed.  The force is sometimes referred to as Dark Energy or UA.

Oops.  Appears it wasn't in the Flat Earth Information Repository, and was in the Other Alternative Science forum: http://theflatearthsociety.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3568
