The globe rotates from underneath them. A bit like how the ship works in Futurama. The gravity drive actually moves the universe around the ship, the ship itself is stationary the whole time.

Explain the observed difference in gravity at the equator vs the poles. Also explain how I can have triangles greater than 180 degrees on the Earth's surface. Also, explain the observed nontrivial holonomy.

Oops. Maybe you flat earthers are actually just idiots.

Have you ever been in an airplane before? You can clearly see the curvature of the earth from there.

Is the sun flat or round?

Is the moon flat or round?

Are other planets flat or round?

You can observe other planets with a telescope with your own eyes

A person would then deduce that the earth is also round

Ass far as your average human is concerned, it is flat. For science and tech purposes it's ellipsoid.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

How can we be sure the earth is a planet?

It looks like a plane, feels like a plane, heck must be a plane?

Hebrews have described the earth as being a plane for thousands of years, till the Catholics came around and wanted to put the cross everywhere, including the end of the word "plane"

Ironically the Catholics are one of the few organizations that allegedly have the tools to measure the distance from the earth to the sun.

I'm asking you to explain the observed difference in acceleration due to gravity at the equator and the poles. This is explained by the centrifugal force. And we can get triangles with internal angles greater than 180 degrees because the Earth is curved. The holonomy is obviously because the earth is an oblate spheroid and that shape's surface is curved.

My bet is that gravity is something related to magnetism.

I once saw an experiment where they magnetically levitated a frog. So, the magnets were so strong that they were able to affect the body of a frog.

That's like Magneto the comicbook character who has magnetic powers. He can control the iron in your blood.

I think that gravity is some kind of super magnetic attraction that is so powerful it affects things on the atomic level, or something like that.

My point is that I think it's something much simpler than people think.

I'm going from Occam's Razor here. We already have a weird force we can see that affects certain metals so why not a massive version of that creating what we call gravity?

Well, what if that tiny magnetic force adds up to something massive when there's enough matter around?

My guess is that gravity is something so simple that it's hard to understand, if you get me.

Kinda like squatting 1048x3 and thinking nothing of it. So simple that everyone on this board just can't comprehend that you did it.

If you weren't a skinny pussy, you could do it too...but you will never be able to.

How does it feel to be physically and intellectually inferior?

That's so simple it's hard for me to understand.

Why not tell us about it?

I'm 6'2, 275lbs, with 19" biceps and 19" calves. I don't think anyone would ever consider me skinny.

At my best I could squat 4 plates 3-4 times. I doubt you could do even that. But that's one of the many differences between me and you. I don't need to lie.

It's funny that you think you're intellectually superior to me. But what do you have to show that would lead anyone to believe that you were smarter, or even wittier than me? It certainly isn't your paycheck or your investments, since you always complain about how little you make. I'll await your answer.
