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

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.

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

Does the U.S military really prosecute military staff for cheating on their spouse, or do they close one eye if the cheating does not involve other military personnel since adultery is fairly common? Adultery is illegal in U.S military

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.

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

What are the most meaningful Jewish jokes that reveal insights about Jewish culture?

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.

…and there are probably other ideas out there.

Why cant I feel anything in my sleep? I cannot even feel myself moving, breathing, and swallowing saliva! I cannot even hear anything, not even my alarm! Some people that I've been with says that I'm moving a lot in my sleep, how can I stop it?

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

I have heard them say:
