On the other hand, if the earth is round, why doesn't my son's basketball roll away?
That is, becaus contrary to FET, RET allows the existence of gravity. This makes things easier to explain.
Why does your son’s basketball not stay in the air and even leaves earth if he throws it into the air? Is this because the earth disk moves up with 9.81 m/(s^2) as stated in FET FAQ of this website? If so, are objects with different masses affected differently by this unidirectional acceleration field? Wouldn’t this imply that earth, sun and moon now (capital letters) must have exactly (capital letters) the same mass?
Because of the acceleration field the earth disk, sun and moon already gained speed of light after less than one year. They are moving now at that high (capital letters) speed, that even the slightest (capital letters) change in mass could be catastrophic:
- additional mass because of meteorite impacts on earth
- loss of atmosphere
- loss of mass because of shooting rockets into space
Aren’t you afraid that the earth crashes into the sun because the sun’s acceleration and therefore velocity is reduced every moment because of loss of mass by radiation and solar eruptions and therefore affected differently by FET’s acceleration field?
Wait, if rockets (with less mass than earth) in space finish acceleration of their own, why does earth not crash into them? Is the rocket also accelerated by FET’s acceleration field with the same speed and acceleration as earth, sun and moon?
Why not your son’s basketball?
