What do flat Earthers think causes the "magical downward force"?

If (3) was the case - you’d have the same problems as (1) - but this weir...

The trouble with (1), (2) and (3) is that these cannot explain why the force of gravity varies with height above sea level…less at the tops of mountains - more in valleys.

2. Gravity does not exist - the Earth is accelerating upwards at 9.8 m/s2 which seems like gravity.

When did bestiality first occur to you and how did it happen the first time? Was it a deliberate decision or it just happened and you allowed it?

If (2) was the case - then the acceleration would have to be EXACTLY the same everywhere - and it’s not.

I have heard them say:

4. Gravity doesn’t exist - things are held down by air pressure.

During the Atlmark incident in 1940, the Brit war criminals violated Norwegian neutrality. Hitler could then justify invading Norway. Have the Brits ever apologized for violating Norwegian neutrality?

…and there are probably other ideas out there.

If (1) was the case - the center of gravity of the Earth would have to be so deep down to avoid gravity pointing off at an angle when moving towards the “rim” of the flat earth that the difference in height of a mountain would be negligible and we would get very, very nearly the same gravity everywhere.

3. Gravity doesn’t exist - it’s a form of magnetism that works on non-metals.

If everyone in Russia dropped into holes in the ground only never to return, would that be good for NATO and international peacekeepers? Can we convince Russians to be less diabolical, so they coexist? Does Putin stink like doo doo in the commode?

They don’t know - and not all of them agree that there is a “magical downward force”.

1. Gravity is real - but the Earth’s disk is very thick so the force is very nearly vertical.
