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:

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.

What do you think is the #1 cause of why relationships nowadays don't seem to last long?

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

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

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.

How do I express sarcasm in non-dialogue text when writing a fiction novel?

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

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

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

Why is the left keep misrepresenting what Trump said about his daughter? When asked if he would date her if he weren’t her father, it simply reflected pride in raising a smart, respectful, and loving daughter with good morals all men want that no?

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.
