What I never understood about this theory was: where do you fall down to? And if the moon is a sphere, why not the earth?

The flat earth is constantly accelerating "upwards", which is what creates the equivalent of sane people gravity. So it's not really falling over the edge as the Earth leaving you behind.

the universe is expanding at an increasing rate, we're just feeling the acceleration.

oh no maybe I shouldn't give them any ideas

Don't worry, this idea is likely too complicated
