I am 100% a Flat Earther. I am struggling to explain Universal Acceleration as our "Gravity".

There is no Gravity, that's a fact.
Universal Acceleration explains why we are stuck to the plane, and if we go up we always come down. Dark Matter is a fair assumption , however I just read the write up on tides of the ocean and it stated that the moon and stars have a gravitational pull on the water.

You can't have gravity, that doesn't exist , from the moon, because there is no gravity on UA.

Tidal Effects

In the FE universe, gravitation (not gravity) exists in other celestial bodies. The gravitational pull of the stars, for example, causes observable tidal effects on Earth.

Q: Why does gravity vary with altitude?

A: The moon and stars have a slight gravitational pull.

Gravitation.
Ok, ty

[Ptolemy]

Conclusion: Gravitation is a known fact or a law of nature, as much as that this iPad I am typing on is a solid or that birds fly. Attempts to explain its dynamics, like general relativity, loop quantum gravity, string theory etc. are theories.

One line of thought is that the flat earth itself does not produce a gravitational field, but the celestial bodies do produce a celestial gravitational field that influences things like tides and the measured variations in the UA's "gravitational" field.

Yes, very interesting.

If it is UA that keeps us all on the surface, and makes it so that "what goes up must come down", then what in the FE universe keeps the Sun and the Moon up in the sky? Shouldn't they drop to the earth also, just like the object I just dropped out of my hand?

The moon is much smaller than the earth.  Why does it produce a gravitational field, if the much larger earth does not?
