To a flat Earther, what's wrong with the idea that gravity is simply a force inherent to space which operates only in one dimension? Why do they go further and try to deny gravity rather than just saying it's different than physicists claim?

They also deny space even exists at all, and gravity should pull their Sun down to the ground. So they have to deny all gravity completely. They actually have to deny most of science, too!

But Newtonian gravity, in which mass attracts mass, and the pull is toward the center of mass, ruins their “model,” and they know it. They have to deny Newtonian gravity.

Well, first off, they DO say it's different than what physicists claim. They claim most of science is “wrong,” and they are “right.”

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

OP: “To a flat Earther, what's wrong with the idea that gravity is simply a force inherent to space which operates only in one dimension? Why do they go further and try to deny gravity rather than just saying it's different than physicists claim?:

Most of science proves them wrong.
