Hey, flat earth guy, explain this.

Why do snipers have to consider the earths rotation when making long distance shots? If the earth was flat wouldn't that mean they would always be missing? The Coriolis Effect. I don't know what's more than a checkmate but this is it.

    The earth moves upwards through space at a constant speed due to the universal accelerator. The UA can only act upon objects that are either very large in surface area, or that have enough propulsion. That's why the UA can act upon an airplane: a planes limited surface area is compensated for by the propulsion generated by its engines. This allows the UA to act upon what little surface area the plane does have. Same with a bullet: the propulsion generated by igniting gun powder allows the bullet to be briefly acted upon by the UA. With something as small as a bullet, the force of the UA is not always applied equally, as the bullet also experiences the various forces of electromagnetism, wind, and air pressure. However, bullet trajectories are consistent, as u say. I look forward to the day when informed individuals can conduct research in a social environment free from the ridicule of mainstream science and society. Right now, no one except a select few are willing to shoulder the social stigma attached to thinking outside the box. Thus, it may take time until we can fully understand the finer details of Universal Acceleration. P.S. Science denies that the ground would rotate beneath me when I jump? But all of a sudden they are fine with the idea that it rotates beneath a bullet? Seems like a double standard to me...
