I know that image inversion is a property of all mirages, and that should mean that mirages should appear upside down right? But I found out that superior mirages can sometimes be upright as well as upside down. How can this be? Is there some reason that allows superior mirages to alleviate...

Considering special relativity, let us take an object accelerating at a rate of 6m/s^2. Let's say that this object is large enough for an observer to securely stand on it while it is accelerating. Would this object be able to accelerate at this rate forever without reaching the speed of light...

Considering this, how much force would the object exert on the ball upon contact? (If the force is large, why does it only cause the ball to bounce on the surface?)

I have an example: Let us say you are on a large object with a mass of 5x10^10kg accelerating upwards at a constant velocity of 5m/s^-2, and there is a ball 0.1kg on top of that object. This ball should be accelerating at the same pace. The ball is then held up 5m from the surface of that...
