In the flat earth world, do you just fall forever? Or what happens there exactly?
I don't think gravity is a thing for them. I think they think things fall because that's just what they do, possibly because God Said So.
So it's got to be the fall forever thing, right?
Maybe there’s some larger flatter earth that you would eventually splatter on.
Now if you had a parachute and you packed a lunch, maybe you could safely land, and then try to jump off the edge of that flat earth.
To where?
To a giant turtle shell. And that turtle is standing on another turtle. In fact it's just turtles all the way down. Don't ask me what they eat though.
They didn't used to deny gravity, but since a flat earth is incompatible with gravity, they had to deny its existence, too.
They just believe the earth and everything else is accelerating upwards. People that think like that should just be forced to go through all of school again because clearly their reasoning skills failed them.
By gods, it's THE flat earth itself! The flerfers are right! /s
Antarctica is a huge ice wall that prevents us from falling, according to the flat earthers.
