I already told you. and you should know it if you really knew what you were talking about, which i am now gathering you don't.
Follow me now:

Nor can we be for the universe to work the way it does. Get it? got it? good.
Maybe you're laboring under the notion that the observable universe is all there is to the universe. There's nothing in most models of FE forbidding the existence of other planar objects such as the earth with their own observable universes above them. There may be as many such systems as there are stars in our own observable universe for all we know, or even more.
If the flat earth isn't unique in this way, it would be appropriate to say that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic, right?
FE "theory" cannot exist in any of the FRW models. And FE "theory" does not allow an isotropic homogeneous universe to exist in the first place. Read your own FAQ, it's ALL there.
Q: "What about the stars, sun and moon and other planets? Are they flat too? What are they made of?"
A: The sun and moon, each 32 miles in diameter, circle Earth at a height of 3000 miles at its equator, located midway between the North Pole and the ice wall. Each functions similar to a "spotlight," with the sun radiating "hot light," the moon "cold light." As they are spotlights, they only give light out over a certain are which explains why some parts of the Earth are dark when others are light. Their apparent rising and setting are caused by optical illusions.
Q: "Why are other celestial bodies round but not the Earth?"
A: The Earth is not one of the other planets. The Earth is special and unlike the other bodies in numerous ways.

We cannot be. it is one of the foundations of modern physics. If the laws of physics varied from place to place we could NEVER figure out ANYTHING, becuase there would be no reason for anything to be any particular way twice.
"If the Earth was indeed a flat disc, wouldn't the whole planet crunch up into itself and eventually transform into a ball?"
A1: If the Earth generated a gravitational field, yes, it would eventually happen, after a billion years maybe. FE assumes that the Earth does not generate a gravitational field. What we know as 'gravity' is provided by the acceleration of the earth.
All bodies in space produce gravity. Its how the FRW models work. its how general and special reletivity work. both theories making exacand correct predictions time and time again. Easily verifyable.
Q: "Why does gravity vary with altitude?"
A: The moon and stars have a slight gravitational pull.
ok, first it doesnt exist then it does, whats it going to be? and how can 32 mile discs exert gravitaional forces?
The universe does not work then not work. again, we are not special.
Q: Follow-up to previous question: How is it that the Earth does not have a gravitational pull, but stars and the moon do?
A: This argument is a non sequitur. You might as well ask, "How is it that snakes do not have legs, but dogs and cats do?" Snakes are not dogs or cats. The Earth is not a star or the moon. It doesn't follow that each must have exactly the properties of the others, and no more.
I don't think i need to go on here, it most certainly is NOT non sequiter.
You cannot just pick and choose the parts of physics that support your claims and discount the one that don't appeal to your sensibilities. Well, i suppose you can, because you obviously are, but the universe is going to go right on existing without a flat earth, and you are going to continue to be dead wrong.
In the "accelerating upwards" model, the stars, sun and moon are also accelerating upwards.
The stars are about as far as San Francisco is from Boston. (3100 miles)
There is NO star within 3100 miles of earth. EASILY observed, well documented, amateur and professionally.
There is NO star that is in its main sequence that is only 32 miles in diameter. Easily observable, no such stars exist, nor can they.
The universe does NOT create spotlights.
Nothing is accelerating "upwards". In the FRW model, there is no "up" in the universe. the only acceleration that is occuring is everything moving away from each other, easily measured, handily predicted, READILY documented and explained.
