      I’ve seen them say that things fall “because of density”.

      Like we fall down because we are heavier than air.

      Like they think they’ve avoided the problem but they haven’t.

      Wake up sheeple! Gravity is an obvious lie from the NWO illuminati lizard people! We’re actually all implanted with small steel sheets in our feet at birth, and everything on the planet has a small amount of iron filings in too. The flat disc we live on is completely magnetic. That’s how we don’t fall off.

      I thought everyone knew this!

      If the disk had the thickness of Earth’s diameter and through some black magic fuckery made it so that only the mass directly below you affected the force of gravity on you, then yes.

      It’s probably easier to make an FTL engine than to make any sense of flat earth theories.

        There’s probably some distribution of mass that would result in uniform gravity across the whole disk. I’m guessing there would need to be more mass near the edge to counteract the diagonal pull of the mass near the center on the area near the edge.

          The problem is that in a flat plane with any amount of thickness, there will be always more mass diagonally than vertically, and it would still require a curve to evenly distribute the mass. I am by no means an expert on the matter, but from what I can recall, the only geometrical shape that allows for it is either a sphere or some complex hyperbolic curve, which is still not a plane.
