Is the Flat Earth Going to Crash into Polaris at Light Speed?

Flat Earthers Have an Argument Against Breaking Light Speed. But…

According to Google, Polaris is 323 light-years from earth, which might seem a long distance away. But, this actually is another problem for the Flat Earth model.

I wrote the above article that I thought was an original attack on the model, but it turns out that the upward acceleration of the Flat Earth to equal g = 32 ft/sec² is not ever going to exceed the speed of light, according to the defense put up by the Flat Earthers. This defense is the equation:

v/c = tanh(at/c)

Here is how the equation was derived:

And, here is the video where I saw that the Flat Earth had a “defense” against this.
