What do flat Earthers think causes the "magical downward for...

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

I have heard them say:

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

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

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.

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

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 there is an abandoned house with no owner, can I live in it?

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

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

…and there are probably other ideas out there.

Can a meme heal what therapy can't?

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

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