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

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

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.

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

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

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

I am skinny, I have been doing 100 pushups a day for more than a month and am seeing very few results, everything is so unfair, I workout more than anyone I know and am still skinny, why cant I build muscle?

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

…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.

Islam is definitely a very anti-LGBTQ religion, so why don't liberals ever stage pro-LGBTQ demonstrations at mosques or at the consulates/embassies of Muslim countries?

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

I have heard them say:
