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.

I have heard them say:

Eric Trump says World Liberty will buy 'substantial position' in Trump memecoin, nixes 'official' wallet - The Block

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.

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

Dozens of Israeli children develop malignant tumors from sperm donor - The Jerusalem Post

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

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

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

Does a narcissist ever get their comeuppance/karma for the vile things they've done? Such as cheating, smear campaign, etc.

…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.
