[Flat Earthers. How do you expl(...) No.8811321]

I love learning about different world views and the way they explain happenings, or fail to explain happenings.
I know a little bit about the Flat Earth idea, but I just realized I'm not sure how FEthers explain meteors.

I don't understand what's supposed to be the issue.

That's a really good question. There are different types. So lets start by defining what a meteor is.

Anything that falls from a considerable height at great speed toward the surface that creates heat by way of air friction which in turn creates visible light. Does that sound fair?

But what's wrong with that on a flat Earth?

>Brazil bigger than US/Canada

How could an rock falling on the flat earth model reach a speed fast enough to burn up in the atmosphere?
On round earth it is because it travels so fast in space that it exceeds terminal velocity, sometimes many kilometers per second.

It's not that rocks fall into earth, the plane itself, accellerating in space at 9.8 m/s crushes with other celestial bodies.

If our earth has been accelerating at 9.8 m/s^2 then we would have long ago passed the speed of light. This is impossible.

>>8811904
Also how come some meteors make it to the ground without burning up if we are constantly gaining speed?

Only the ones who lie and say they've been to fictional places like Australia.

Actually no. The accelerating body would approach the speed of light and never reach it.

Those onboard the body would perceive themselves as continually speeding up, but their time would in fact be slowing down as they approached relativistic speeds.
