Hello. My previous thread was criticized by flat Earthers for containing "too many questions" for them to answer at once. Therefore, I decided I would ask my best questions one at a time.
I assume even those that believe the Earth is flat must understand that nothing with mass can move at or above the speed of light. This is a fundamental law of physics. However, according to the Flat Earth Model, the Earth (or the Solar System, the Universe, I don't know, it doesn't make sense) is constantly accelerating at 9.8 m/s/s, which creates the force scientists know as gravity. Well, assuming the Universe is AT LEAST 1 Billion years old, (I don't know what the flat Earth Model's age of the Universe is, they refused to answer that question on my thread) If the earth accelerates at 9.8 m/s/s, and the speed of light is 299,792,458 m/s... well, it doesn't take a math major to figure out that by this point, the Earth would be moving AT OR ABOVE THE SPEED OF LIGHT... FOR A WHILE.
Even if you claim the universe is only like 100 years old or something and everyone's memories have been implanted and fossils and stuff are dragon bones put there by Satan or some crap, EVENTUALLY, the universe would be moving at the speed of light... and what happens then?
I heard that the point was made (by jroa of course) that we simply move at NEAR light speed forever. This would make no sense. Once we are at 99.9999999999999999999999999999999% the speed of light, and we could no longer move at 9.8 m/s/s without trespassing the speed of light, the Earth would have to decelerate to a lesser acceleration to prevent this trespassing, making gravity gradually weaker over time. Eventually the only possible speed the Earth could move at without being at or above light speed is 1 plank/second less than the speed of light, and the Earth would stop accelerating entirely, resulting there being no gravity at all.
Remember, all of these things would have happened A LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG, TIME AGO.
There are exactly 3 scenarios
a) There is a way that the Earth can move beyond the speed of light and infinitely faster forever. Explain this.
b) There is a way for the Universe to get infinitely close to the speed of light while not passing and maintain the same constant force. Explain this
c) The Flat Earth model is impossible.
