Yes gravity bends light, but the object has to be very dense to cause light to bend, and the earth is not dense dense enough to cause light to bend in on itself to create eternal daylight.

Now if we go off the pretense that the earth is flat, how do you explain gravity? and if it's by the whole gravity is the force of attraction between two objects, then if you fell off one side of a flat earth, wouldn't you just end up on the other side?

also if the earth is flat, then why can't cartographers create a to-scale replica of the earth on a piece of paper?

I would like to know what you think.
