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”.

I have heard them say:

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

The International Boxing Association said that Khelif and Lin competing in Paris Olympics were disqualified from the tournament for testing positive for XY chromosomes which give an unfair advantage in the women’s division. What do you think?

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

…and there are probably other ideas out there.

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

What are the reasons for your political affiliation with the Democratic party? What are some aspects of the party that you support and some that you do not?

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

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.

Why do women consider 80% of men as unattractive?

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