![]() However, one thing is certain: the object appears to be accelerating relative to us non-inertial observers. Technically, in such reference frame, we can never tell whether the Earth is accelerating towards the object or the object is accelerating towards the Earth. In our frame of reference, the object looks as if it is falling to the ground. For an in depth explanation: Special Relativity The 'Free-falling' ObjectĪssuming there is no drag, an object leaving the Earth's surface will undergo inertial motion until the accelerating Earth catches it. Due to this restriction, these equations prove that an object can accelerate at a constant rate forever, and never reach the speed of light. ![]() Q: 'Doesn't this mean we'd be traveling faster than the speed of light, which is impossible?'Ī: The equations of Special Relativity prevent an object from accelerating to the speed of light. Thus, despite what most people think, there is no absolute 'speed' or velocity of the Earth. It all depends on our frame of reference to measure and explain the Earth's motion. Relative to an inertial observer in the universe, however, the Earth's acceleration decreases as the its velocity approaches c. Relative to an observer on Earth, the Earth's acceleration will always be 1g. Modern astrophysics accounts that the expansion of the universe is due to Dark Energy.Īccording to the Special theory of Relativity, the Earth can accelerate forever without reaching or passing the speed of light. The second model deals with Dark Energy, which accelerates all celestial bodies, including the Earth, in the universe. The first model deals with the Universal Accelerator, which sits underneath the Earth and accelerates anything it touches. There are two Universal Acceleration models. This produces the effect commonly referred to as 'gravity'. Rather than a downward pull due to the presence of mass, the theory of Universal Acceleration asserts that the roughly disk-shaped Earth is accelerating 'upward' at a constant rate of 1g (9.8m/sec^2). ![]() ![]() Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, General Theory of Relativity, etc) is incompatible with the Flat Earth Model because it requires a large, spherical mass pulling objects uniformly toward its center. 'Universal Acceleration' is a theory of gravity within the Flat Earth Model. ![]()
