If gravity isn't real why does the downward acceleration vary depending on what kind of rock is under you? (This is used in oil surveying)

If the earth is flat then downward acceleration should be constant everywhere with absolutely no measurable difference.

density and buoyancy.
next question?

The air is the same density when conducting the experiments, so that cannot be the answer.

rocks can have different density, stop pretending to be dumb.

Yes, rocks have different density, which increases their gravitational attraction because it's more mass in the same volume and gravitation is proportional to the mass of each object. So if you are over more dense rock you would experience a greater acceleration.

This is exactly what you expect if gravity is due to attracting masses, and not due to some acceleration of a flat earth.

And as usual, nothing but your word (and maybe youtube) for this as far as the FE model goes
