    The earth accelerating upwards wouldn’t negate the effects of gravity though. So they actually don’t believe in the concept of gravity at all?

    So what keeps the sun and moon and all the planets from crashing into the Earth then?

      When I previously wrote that if you get deep enough into it they don’t believe in gravity, I meant that. No gravity, what you and I call gravity is a consequence of everything accelerating upwards at 9.8 m/s^2 causing a downward force exerted on everything. The sun and moon are also accelerating at the same speed (the entire firmament and its contents are). I have no idea about the other planets, but it’s probably something equally dumb.
