One thing I have never seen asked of or addressed by flat earthers is how gravitational pull works in a flat earth model. Assuming the earth is flat circular disk of a certain thickness and we pick 4 locations as close to the edge as possible of that disk, say at the equivalents of 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock. Suspended weights (pendulums) are placed at each of those locations. Rather than hang vertically down as we know they do all over the world (apart from miniscule variations due to local factors such as the effect of mountains), shouldn't they hang almost horizontal towards the centre of gravity of the flat earth, which would be approximately at a point half the earth's thickness below the centre of the disk?
If this doesn't happen, as we know it doesn't, aren't they also rejecting how gravity works.
