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

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.

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

How do professional musicians handle their equipment during gigs? Do they bring their own or use the venue's sound system?

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

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

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.

What are the potential benefits of going without clothes at home for a few days without any specific reason?

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.

I have heard them say:

If everyone in Russia dropped into holes in the ground only never to return, would that be good for NATO and international peacekeepers? Can we convince Russians to be less diabolical, so they coexist? Does Putin stink like doo doo in the commode?

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

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