Flat Earth Theory / Re: Paris to New York

The reason there is no official recorded distance is because Paris does not actually exist.  It is a NASA experiment to brainwash people

But that's so inconsistent.  Newtonian gravity can't be applied to a flat earth model of gravity.  That would imply that at the edges of the earth's plane, it would be equivalent to an acceleration acting perpendicularly to the direction of "gravity".

I suppose it is a good thing that no one is talking about gravity, then.

Junker - explain how gravitational acceleration works to me?  Because as I see it, your current model is completely nonsensical and full of inconsistencies

According to FE theory, the Earth is a plane accelerating upwards at a rate of 9.8ms^-2.  This will create the effect of gravity. 

This would imply that gravity is uniform at all points of the earth's surface as everything is accelerating at this rate.  This is incorrect as a simple experiment can show that at higher altitudes the gravitational acceleration is larger (albeit a small difference).  I.e at the top of Mt. Everest gravity is stronger than at sea level.

Can someone help me understand how FE theory explains this inconsistency?

*Edit - I am actually a strong advocate of the flat earth movement (I chose an ironic name for a laugh) - I would just like some help explaining this
