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

…and there are probably other ideas out there.

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

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.

🔥Why has Prime Narendra Modi become Extremely FRUSTRATED and Highly DEPRESSED because he has NOT been invited by Donald Trump to witness his Oath Ceremony for his INAUGURATION on 20th January as the next PRESIDENT of USA? Does the DESPERATE Narendra Modi FEAR that Donald Trump's actions may even LEAD to the FALL of the BJP-led MINORITY Government in India, as such actions have already caused GREAT PANIC in the NDA Coalition?

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

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

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.

I see ugly guys dating gorgeous, "hot" women all the time. I, too, am not very attractive but I'm not doing well with the ladies. What's their secret?

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

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

I have heard them say:

Why do so many people suddenly think it's acceptable to continue to live with their parents into adulthood?

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

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