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

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

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

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

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

Why are there so many illegal Haitians in Ohio? They can't walk here. Democrats flew them here to cause chaos and crime in Ohio.

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

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

…and there are probably other ideas out there.

How should you handle a situation where your friend tells you they like someone who also likes you? Should you tell them or continue as normal?

I have heard them say:

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.

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.

Why does my vagina always itch so badly after my periods?

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

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