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

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.

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

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

Why are Republicans so afraid of a strong leader like Vice President Kamala Harris? Are they worried if she becomes President she will make them look stupid?

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

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.

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

What do you remember that 95% of us have forgotten?

I have heard them say:

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

…and there are probably other ideas out there.

I committed the unpardonable sin. God immediately punished me so that I can no longer think like before and my brain is as if paralyzed and does not work. I've tried everything (confession, repentance, etc.) nothing helps. Any advice?

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

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