Gravity as a universal law

I'm new to the hypothesis that the earth is flat. So if this question has already been answered then please forgive me. I won't get into specifics here, but assuming that gravity exists, then the spherical shape of our planet and the heliocentric nature of the solar system can be explained.

My question is: How was a flat earth formed? And how can that explanation be applied to any other branch of science?

If that sounds crazy, it is because it is crazy.

I don't know how to quote, but the above sentence appears to sum up flat earth.

How was a flat earth formed?

I'm not asking for an eye witness account. I'm asking for an alternative model that will produce a disc shaped body, in a solar system, that by their logic is obviously a product of gravity.

Edit: It can't be obvious if you deny gravity. But my original question still stands.

That's arguing about semantics. It doesn't answer how a disc shape in system of spheres came to be. Gravitational pull can explain every other sphere.

Gravitation exists but it is not as strong as currently thought in modern science. In the beginning the aetheric winds forced loose matter from the big bang in a whirlwind like effect and gravitation more or less helped it together. Being propelled by the aether, the earth formed an even, flat disc over the wind and solidified. Why it did not form a bowl-like shape is attributed to the aetheric pressure being stronger near the north pole than the ice wall (however a this effect only went so far, causing the ice wall to be "bowl-like" in nature.

Most likely this will devolve into a discussion of gravity versus gravitation if you continue to call gravity a force.  Just use the word gravitation, because technically gravity is not a force.

I am pretty sure the origin of the universe in the flat earth model is the biblical creationism account.

Flat earth seems to be a fable attempt to explain a literal interpretation of the bible.

Since when?

To be fair, I do indeed presume to know how the flat Earth was formed. My model of the universe is one where the Big Bang caused a superplasmic mixture of helium and hydrogen, which I refer to as aether, which has near infinite fluidity (it is not affected by van der Waals forces). Now, this aether abhors vacuums far more than other states of matter and can travel forever without losing significant energy (unless it hits something), both due to the aforementioned fluidity. Thus, there is an aetheric wind which expands into the universe, filling the infinite vacuum. The Earth rides on this wind, and has been flattened by the force of it.

My model of the universe is...

super-
pref.
1. Above; over; upon: superstructure.
2. Superior in size, quality, number, or degree: supersonic.
3. Exceeding a norm: supersaturate.
4. Excessive in degree or intensity: superexcitation.
5. Containing a specified ingredient in an unusually high proportion: superoxide.

plas·ma  also plasm
n.
1.
             a. The clear, yellowish fluid portion of blood, lymph, or intramuscular fluid in which cells are suspended. It differs from serum in that it contains fibrin and other soluble clotting elements.
             b. Blood plasma.

2. Medicine Cell-free, sterilized blood plasma, used in transfusions.

3. Protoplasm or cytoplasm.

4. The fluid portion of milk from which the curd has been separated by coagulation; whey.

5. Physics An electrically neutral, highly ionized gas composed of ions, electrons, and neutral particles. It is a phase of matter distinct from solids, liquids, and normal gases.
[New Latin, from Late Latin, image, figure, from Greek, from plassein, to mold; see pel-2 in Indo-European roots.]
plas·matic (plz-mtk), plasmic (-mk) adj.

Are you under some impression that the "super" prefix can be added to any word to make a new word?

That's really superdumb of you!

Yeah, like that. See?

Nope. But thanks for trolling.

• First of all, we are reasonably certain that the universe had a beginning.
  
  Second, galaxies appear to be moving away from us at speeds proportional to their distance. This is called "Hubble's Law," named after Edwin Hubble (1889-1953) who discovered this phenomenon in 1929. This observation supports the expansion of the universe and suggests that the universe was once compacted.
  
  Third, if the universe was initially very, very hot as the Big Bang suggests, we should be able to find some remnant of this heat. In 1965, Radioastronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson discovered a 2.725 degree Kelvin (-454.765 degree Fahrenheit, -270.425 degree Celsius) Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB) which pervades the observable universe. This is thought to be the remnant which scientists were looking for. Penzias and Wilson shared in the 1978 Nobel Prize for Physics for their discovery.
  
  Finally, the abundance of the "light elements" Hydrogen and Helium found in the observable universe are thought to support the Big Bang model of origins

And here I was thinking that the universe is the result of a giant orange elephant sneezing into the arm of his sweater.

That is simply gibberish. For example, superplasmic isn't even a word.
