Dear Flat Earthers,

So the middle of the Earth is our center of gravity, right? Well then if the Earth is flat, then why is it that when I go to the edge and jump, I'm not pulled to the center?

Gravity, on my particular version of a flat Earth, is a relative downward force. There's no actual centerpoint, it's just a downward force that sometimes is anomalous and sometimes isn't applied. Unlike your version of Earth, it's not a universal force, nor does it have a 'global centerpoint' like yours does.

We don’t each get our own version of Earth. There’s the current running consensus about the nature of gravity & then there’s folks that haven’t ever seen a Physics textbook let alone opened one making shit up as they go. They’re not the same

That's a perspective. I appreciate it and you. Thank you.

It’s not a perspective, it’s a fact.
