You're not answering my question. If gravity doesn't exist how are we staying grounded?

  • Here is a response I recently gave to another user that should answer your question: [quote]Gravity refers to the unproven and unfounded assertion that an objects mass produces an invisible "pull". Space does not have gravity. However, objects in space do experience obligate downward motion. Nothing is pulling them. They simply fall. A plane does not hit the ground for the same reason the sun and moon do not: universal acceleration acts upon them as well, causing them to move upwards with the earth. The capacity of an object to be acted upon by the UA depends upon its surface area. A plane does not have enough surface area to be naturally acted upon, but it makes up for it using propulsion. Propulsion + limited surface area = capacity to be acted upon by the UA.[/quote]

    So you refuse to accept the evidence of gravity, but believe in a mystery force that has never been proven? Even your pic above disproves you. And!!! How come we aren't forced to the ground because of the upwards force of "universal acceleration"?

  • Do you know how acceleration works and do you believe it to be a law?

  • I would hesitate to accept it as a "law", but to clarify: the earth moves upward at a constant rate. Universal [i]Acceleration[/i] is a somewhat improper term, but it is part of Planar Theory's lingo, so I use it.

  • If it's a constant velocity, then why do objects in a vacuum fall at an accelerating rate?

  • Because the upward of motion of the earth is constant. The tendency of all unsupported objects to fall through space happens at an accelerating rate until terminal velocity is reached.

  • Why? If the earth is moving upwards at a constant rate, an object in free fall should fall at a constant rate. Instead, we see objects fall at an accelerating rate, about 9.8m/s^2. Terminal velocity is not relevant inside a vacuum.

  • Imagine the earth were not there: an unsupported object would fall downwards through the void of space unless acted upon by a force like the Universal Accelerator (which dose not cause increasing acceleration, despite its name).

  • Then why have we not reached light speed?

  • As I said its motion is constant: it does not speed up or slow down.

  • Can you identify a single other thing that acts the way you claim?
