How Gravity Works on Flat Earth

Long before the theory of gravity was a glimmer in Newton's
imagination, the natural physics of density and buoyancy already
perfectly explained why apples fall down. Quite simply, objects fall or
rise based on their relative density to the medium surrounding them.
Apples fall because they are denser than the air, while helium balloons
rise because they are lighter - no 'gravity' necessary. This is why
raindrops fall down through the air and air-bubbles rise up through
water! Everything seeks its relative density and rises or falls until
settling accordingly. This is why a tiny pebble sinks to the bottom of
the ocean, but gigantic cruise-ships and aircraft carriers stay afloat
on the surface, because even though a pebble is so small, its mass
relative to its volume (its density) is more than water, so it sinks,
and even though a cruise-ship is so large, its mass relative to its
volume is less than water, so it floats.
If Newton's apple had
landed in a puddle instead of on his head, he would have seen the apple
only fell through the air because it was denser than the air, but then
floated on top of the water because it was less dense than water. Have
you ever noticed how its easier to stay afloat with your lungs full of
air than it is when they're empty? Submarines float on the surface when
their ballast tanks are filled with air, but when the vents are opened
and seawater floods in, they begin to sink as the submarine's density
becomes greater than water. Depending what depth they wish to dive
sailors simply adjust the ratio of air/water in the tanks, and when
ready to re-surface they blow compressed air into the tanks forcing the
seawater out, lowering the density, and thus causing them to rise back
to the surface.
We can also prove this fact of relative density
by filling a balloon with approximately half helium and half air. Since
helium is lighter than the oxygen, nitrogen and other gases that compose
the air around us, filling a balloon with just the right amount of
helium to compensate for and balance out the density of the plastic
results in a 'gravity-defying' levitating balloon at equilibrium that
neither rises nor falls!
