This would be a great explanation if everything that fell hit the ground at 9mph. But things accelerate as they fall which is why a glass dropped from a couple of inches rarely breaks but one dropped from several feet almost always breaks. This increase in velocity is due to acceleration caused by gravity. Acceleration - the rate of change of speed.The Vsauce vid disproving the flat earth theory was excellent.
I particularly enjoyed the revelation that, like SB said, flat earthers don't believe in Gravity. Instead, apparently the whole of our flat earth is moving up through space at 9mph and just comes to "meet" the object that is "falling".
Wow.
"They" must have built thrusters into those telecoms satellites, ones that run on an unlimited fuel source to keep away from the flat earth.
no posts for a while from our resident flat earther.
Has he been disappeared for revealing too much?
We should be told.
You maybe be right @westdidsblue ....but what if @spanishblue isn't and he actually believes (which I think he does) the stuff he's posting, for me as an observer it makes for interesting and amusing reading and @paullakesleftknee is for me the only poster who has got the better of him by actually offering an alternative complete with facts to what he has posted and he has done it in a polite and knowledgable way....which is what @spanishblue is after I thinkYou don't seem to have realised that SB is a troll. You're giving him far too much credit calling his ramblings theories when they are clearly nonsense designed to provoke a response for his own amusement.
As I said earlier, the only way that he is not a troll is if he's a complete moron. If that's the case, any time putting together a response to his posts is wasted as he would clearly not have the mental capacity to take it on board. Either way, it's pointless engaging with him but we can either admire his wumming or laugh at his stupidity.You maybe be right @westdidsblue ....but what if @spanishblue isn't and he actually believes (which I think he does) the stuff he's posting, for me as an observer it makes for interesting and amusing reading and @paullakesleftknee is for me the only poster who has got the better of him by actually offering an alternative complete with facts to what he has posted and he has done it in a polite and knowledgable way....which is what @spanishblue is after I think

Hey, I know all that stuff, I'm just quoting the loonies!
What if the earth is accelerating upwards?Hey, I know all that stuff, I'm just quoting the loonies!
What's going to happen when it hits the moon?What if the earth is accelerating upwards?
It's ok, the moon is made of cheese so when that happens, Dairylea will go and collect it and the price of cheese triangles will fall due to oversupply.What's going to happen when it hits the moon?
