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

…and there are probably other ideas out there.

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.

Why am I so jealous towards couples? Why am I tired of being single and feel my life is over?

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.

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

What are the most extreme examples of hypocrisy?

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

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

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

Jenny from Perth writes – my partner is the life of the party, women and men adore him. But at home, he gets angry at us for the silliest reasons and never nice words me or our kids, always putting us down. Should I stay or leave him?

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

I have heard them say:
