Nah, when you move that fast, further acceleration stops increasing speed and starts squishing time instead, so you asymptotically approach C.

So I guess what I'm saying is I see absolutely no problem with the flat earth arguments?

We should see this as all the celestial bodies traveling "down" at relativistic speeds by now. Unless maybe they are also experiencing 1 G in the same direction as us in addition to whatever other accelerations.

I imagine whatever magical force has been constantly accelerating the disc Earth for 4,000+ years also magically accelerates everything else uniformly in the exact same direction, at the exact same speed, and also magically solves every other hole in the theory.

Can’t argue with that, I guess.

wait, is the flat earth theory going to make me immortal?

Only if you truly believe in it. Then you create a belive field, shaping your reality in any form you desire.
