Evidence for Universal Acceleration

According to the model of the Universal Accelerator the earth is accelerating upwards at a rate of 9.8 meters per second squared. We are pinned down to the surface of the earth as a function of this acceleration.

There are numerous pieces of evidence that the earth is accelerating upwards. One of the primary proofs for the Universal Accelerator is that Inertial Mass is exactly equivalent to Gravitational Mass, which is an unexplained coincidence. This coincidence has been called "one of the "deepest, unsolved mysteries in fundamental physics". This question has vexed science for hundreds of years. Not only are the laws of motion the same, but the strong form of the equivalence principle declares that all laws of physics are the same for Inertial Mass and Gravitational Mass. Why does the physics of gravity behave exactly as if the earth were accelerating upwards? The Universal Accelerator answers this confounding and long standing mystery by positing that the earth is accelerating upwards.

Other pieces of evidence range from the fact that, despite great effort, the mechanism of gravity has not been directly discovered, the point that the current theories of gravity cannot explain much, to empirical proofs.

Inertial Mass Exactly Equivalent to Gravitational Mass

We read the following from a paper on quantum mechanics:

PBS Equivalence Principle Video

A Globebusters episode discusses the Universal Accelerator as held by the Flat Earth Society. The team looks at a PBS video which states that it was Albert Einstein who came up with the idea of an upwardly accelerating earth. Watch the following video at the 3h4m16s mark for 15 minutes. Here is the video at that timestamp:

Einstein's argument was that Newtonian Gravity is curious in that it operates as if the earth were accelerating upwards. There are too many coincidences with Newton's gravity, Einstein says. It makes more sense if the earth is accelerating upwards. Einstein ends up adopting his upwardly accelerating earth theory to the Round Earth model by making space bend, another way to make the earth accelerate, giving us General Relativity as we know it today.

Summary Breakdown

Firstly, according to Newtonian Gravity, all objects move at the same rate towards the earth uniformly. That is its defining feature, and this operates suspiciously as if the earth were accelerating upwards.

Secondly, objects in free fall experience an opposite "fake" force of gravity of the same magnitude in which they are exactly weightless. An astronomical coincidence. Einstein says that the idea that the object is stationary and the earth is accelerating into it is the best conclusion and the best way to make sense of Newton's Gravity.

The Flat Earth concept comes in because it's not possible for the surface of the Round Earth model to continuously accelerate upwards. An upwardly accelerating surface suggests that the earth is flat.

The video presenter further states that seven years after coming up with the Equivalence Principle the accelerating earth idea was adopted into General Relativity by using non-euclidean bending space to achieve the accelerating earth illusion of gravity on a Round Earth. The end of the video says that Gravity is still an illusion in GR and bodies like basketballs make "straight line paths" to their destination. It is the environment that moves into the basketball with the space-bending physics of General Relativity.

New Scientist Article

A feature article from New Scientist declares that the mysterious equivalence principle coincidence is one of the primary problems holding back the progress of physics.

Sacrificing Einstein: Relativity’s keystone has to go
16 January 2013

"Our hopes of finding a theory of everything depend on upsetting a balance that Einstein cherished"

  “ COINCIDENCE is not generally something scientists have much truck with. If two things are genuinely unrelated, there is little further of interest to be said. If the coincidence keeps turning up, however, there must be some deeper underlying link. Then it is the job of science to tease out what it is and so explain why there was no coincidence in the first place.

That makes it rather odd that a large chunk of modern physics is precariously balanced on a whopping coincidence.

This coincidence is essential to the way we view and define mass. It is so fundamental to the world’s workings that most of us encounter its consequences every day without giving them another thought. Yet it has vexed some of the best minds in physics for centuries. Galileo and Newton grappled with it, and ended up just accepting it, rather than understanding it. Einstein went one better: he declared it a principle of nature. He went on to use this “equivalence principle” as the fundament of his general theory of relativity, still our best stab at explaining the mysterious force of gravity.

But there is a problem. If we want to find some bigger, better theory that can unify gravity with the other forces that dictate the world’s workings, the equivalence principle cannot stay. We must either unmask this coincidence – or radically rethink how physics can progress from here. ”
