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

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

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

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

Family scapegoats with years of healing: what events or thoughts precipitated your full acceptance of your family's narcissistic dynamic? Can you share your inner thoughts as you reached it? How do we know when we have reached full acceptance?

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.

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

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

Do girls ever miss their first love?

…and there are probably other ideas out there.

I have heard them say:

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

My boyfriend wants to break up over too many petty arguments. To me, they are molehills because I truly love him & don't really think twice about them. If he loved me would he work through it?

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

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.
