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

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

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.

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.

Can you provide a list of cities named after animals and the animals they were named after?

I have heard them say:

…and there are probably other ideas out there.

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

I broke up with my boyfriend because he wasn’t transparent about his past, it hurts me and he doesn’t care. I told him in the beginning of our relationship that it was a deal breaker for me what do I do?

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

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.

What is your opinion on Ukraine's reaction to Donald Trump saying they should have never started the war?

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

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