Anything that accelerates forward must necessarily push against something in order to accelerate forward. Wrong again. You should change your handle.
You are no doubt prepared to enlighten us with a counterexample?

I'm betting that Physicist won't respond to such silliness. I wouldn't under similar circumstances. But then, I've seen him demonstrate patience far beyond that which I could muster, so he might surprise me.

Easy: any mass in a gravitational field, or any charge in an electromagnetic field, experiences acceleration without pushing on anything. Of course, such counterexamples would clearly violate the intended context of the discussion, and it would be intellectually dishonest of cinFLA to use them.
