What do flat Earthers think causes the "magical downward for...

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.

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

…and there are probably other ideas out there.

What advice would you give to a father of a teenage daughter on how to protect her from boys, dating, and social media? How should fathers discuss these topics with their daughters?

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

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

I have heard them say:

What does it mean when a guy says he doesn't want to ruin the friendship? Is he rejecting me or is there another explanation? Why would a guy choose not to risk the friendship if he has feelings for me?

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.

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

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

Are today’s baseball pitchers faster than a few years ago, or is it that radar guns have improved and get the pitch speed as it is released rather than as it reaches the plate?

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

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