you're right, buoyancy requires an acclerative "force".

Eg gravity

yup. or centrifugal even.

Yes

It's why scientists spin samples in centrifuges to separate them.

@Deleted User nice name btw

But centrifugal force cannot be applied to that of say a cargo ship or oiltanker as the amount of energy needed to create such momentum to created a buoyant effect would grow at an exponential r8

Thanks

You guys are smarter than me <:worried:485147448503697421>

4 me most of science is connecting the dots between key subjects I have knowledge on that's the beauty of it its like a giant web u can trace everything back to basics and vice versa

same

The other explanation, Universal Acceleration, is the idea that the earth is travelling upwards at a rate of 9.81 m/s2 to simulate gravity.

That's a cool way to think about it

That is a belief stated by the FE society

UA?

Elaborate on upwards

Flat earthers disassociste themselves from it

Call it 'government controlled opposition'

as in, physically upwards. A force is pushing the earth skywards.

at a constant rate of 9.81 m/s2

Personally, I think the flat Earth society was one of the earlier incarnations of flat Earth ideas, before they realized that they can't explain away gravity and a few other things blocking their way at the time.

tbf, it's actually a better explanation than density/buoyancy.

I agree

what led to the FES being ostracized?

When FE society was thoroughly debunked flat earthers decided to switch to more ambiguous and contrived ideas and completely disassocisted themselves from math as well as science as normally understood

No clue

When I get unmuted on another server that's another question I have waiting

Unless we are orbiting a central object hence gravity. there is an external force with such power to move not only earth but the surrounding universe at a constant r8 which could be theoretically possible however the chances r infantecimal compared to globe theory

They claimed "dark energy", which is actually what mainstream science does to fit GR into macro scales.

Also upwards is relative is it not depending in gravity

Kek

upwards relative to our reference frame.

Also how can I go from the us to Hawaii to Japan to the middle east to Iberia and back to the us while only heading in one direction

That is off course dependant on if u believe maps

The north pole is located in the center of the flat earth map. Basically, FE is a monopole, with the entirety of the outer ring being the south pole. East to West circumnavigation is still possible on this map.

So say all current accepted scientific theory and understanding put aside and the the government and all previous governments across the world going back to the 1500-1600s have been lying to is what is the alternative

Song choice 👌

?

for the video Mathieus posted haha

Ah

Too many holes in fe
