Despite enough physics to make our heads spin, flat-earthers continue to go against thousands of years of scientific knowledge which they consider a long-standing cover-up. They believe earth’s gravitational pull is an illusion.

The theory states that objects do not accelerate downward; instead, the disc of Earth accelerates upward at 32 feet per second squared. They believe this is the result of a “mysterious” force known as dark energy which is part of an ongoing “universal acceleration.”
