other flat earthers would tell you that Universal Acceleration is the reason objects fall to the ground

What's the contingency for universal acceleration?

jet lag sucks

everything is pain

It does

UA is the idea that the earth is accelerating upwards at a speed of 9.81 m/s2 to simulate gravity

I don't get it

One day would mean an increase in speed of almost 850,000 m/s

@A Real Fucking Vampire

Your name is now changed

oh my god the yeti bot is crashing discord

yes, and it would continue to accelerate past that speed. but according to special relativity it would never actually reach the speed of light

What

Are nerds gay found this theory on youtube

So when does the earth stop accelerating

Who cares

it doesn't

that's how it maintains "gravity"

So it goes faster than light

no, it would never actually reach C

This may be the first chat where people know what there talking about

but it would have to in order to keep 9.81 m/s^2

Which means that acceleration isn't what's keeping stuff on the ground

but *something else*

I wonder what that could be

God you guys are nerds

according to special relativity, your own reference frame would maintain the same time with no dilation. any observer watching the earth accelerate would note the earth would appear to *slow down*

Thank you

yes the fact where the planet is spinning

Also why can't we feel the acceleration at all times

I should feel a force pushing me down

so, yes, it could maintain acceleration.
we do feel the acceleration. in the form of gravity

they're saying gravity as GR states it doesn't exist.
