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

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

I have heard them say:

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

Why do guys on dating apps often just first message "hey" or "hey how are you" instead of being more creative and unique? How do they think being a copycat will stand out?

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

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

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

Why do Brits drive a lot more dangerously compared to Americans? Is there just no courtesy when driving in the UK?

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.

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

Are there girls here who like group sex?

…and there are probably other ideas out there.

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