Electromagnetic Acceleration

The theory of the Electromagnetic Accelerator (EA) states that there is a mechanism to the universe that pulls light upwards. All light curves upwards over very long distances. This is an alternative to the perspective theory proposed in Earth Not a Globe. Sunset happens as result of these curving light rays.



The above illustration depicts rays from the sun which intersect with the earth. Other rays not depicted may miss the earth and make a "u-turn" back into space.

Clouds Lit From Underside
Rays which miss the earth will turn back up into space, and may hit the underside of clouds before sunrise or after sunset.



Nearside Always Seen
A consequence of this paradigm is that the observer will always see the nearside (underside) of the celestial bodies. The below image depicts the extremes of the Moon's rising and setting. The image of the nearside face of the moon is bent upwards around the moon and faces the observers to either side of it.



Lunar Phases
The sun's upwardly curving rays also results in the phases of the moon. When the moon is far from the sun and higher than it, the Full Moon occurs. When the moon is closer to the sun and lower than it, the New Moon occurs.

Horizon Dip
The Electromagnetic Accelerator also predicts that at high altitudes the horizon will drop below eye level. Light which travels parallel from the limits of vision will be pulled upwards and miss the eye of the observer. The only rays the observer will see are those rays which are transmitted at a lower angle and pulled upwards to meet the observer, resulting in a horizon which is slightly below eye level.
