Funny questions: If we, on the top side of the Flat Earth are somehow attracted to the ground, why doesn't the bottom side of the FE collapses, you know, the rocks start faling down and so on...

If some force is pressing up against the bottom of the Earth, then it would only make sense that rocks on the bottom would be pressed upwards as well and not fall downwards.

Yeah, that would make sense, but we don't know if that force actually exists.

You are correct.  However, I did start my post with the word "if," meaning it is not a definite fact.
