Earth accelerates at a constant 9.8 m/s^2
« on: January 12, 2016, 09:35:39 AM »
Two questions

1) Wouldn't it smack birds like a base ball bat as soon as they left their perch?

2) Just how long has this been going on and just how fast are we going? I think we would approach the speed of light every 12 years. I'm 30 so we must be going at least twice the speed of light from my life time + whatever speed we reached before I was born.

The Earth is not accelerating up. This is a myth. The Earth is round.

1. Einstein's equivalence principle.
2. Theory of relativity.

There are some good arguments against FET. This is not one of them. At all. Consider reading the FAQ if you want to argue against FET. This is one of the more tedious things that new members constantly repeat.

This is FET. There's rarely a how.
Best I can think of comes from an old troll called Vauxhall. He used the good old standby of aether, which accelerates the Earth, and then arcs in to rejoin over the Earth. There's a dome with no (or very little) aether, and then the Sun and stars etc are in the accelerating current of aether.

http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=63731.msg1691792#msg1691792

That's his diagram of it. Then again, he also claims to have had sex with a shapeshifting turtle. Good times.

Ok, but won't angler momentum would cause the sun and moon to fly off into whatever is out there?

Given the speed it's accelerating at, it would take one hell of a force to make them 'fly off' vertically. Horizontally, Vauxhall relied on 'aetheric whirlpools' formed when the currents met, causing circular rotation.

It's FET. take a handwaved answer when you can get it, there's rarely more.

Where does the energy to accelerate everything come from? Why don't you do some math and figure, in mass equivalence, how much energy would the Earth require to be accelerated for 1 year at near ligth speed? Why do you people always have to make calculable things that you never calculate?

How does that field accelerate the Earth, the stars, but fail to accelerate that which is on the Earth's surface, or near to said surface?

Obvious, because if it is accelerating the FE it would have to also be accelerating the Sun.

Well:
Something is accelerating the FE -->  Energy
We can't see this energy --> Dark

Therefore:  Dark Energy.

Well, as I have said, oh I don't know, lots of times, the FE creates a type of 'bow shock' in the Dark Energy, setting up the DEF.  This bow shock/field prevents the DE from interacting with objects above the FE until the field has collapsed (not necessarily in totality, but locally).

Then you may want to consider renaming it, you're just going to confuse anyone familiar with the RE definition of dark energy (which is equally distributed). The generic Universal Accelerator term might work fine.
