I think they are having a hard time thinking outside of their basic senses. Like, if they think gravity is always down no matter what, it is harder to imagine it as something that can be different. In their heads, they would be upside down and probably imagine gravity pulling them down either into the sky or a void. I think our teaching methods with science is flawed and hence, results in this and multiple other flawed beliefs. Also some other issues too like learning disabilities possibly with a number of them that make it harder to concentrate as well. These have indeed become more common with the prevalence of technology access. With those, they are probably more likely to believe something that is a less complicated and easier explanation for something they don’t understand. So, mental health regarding attentions spans might also play a role here.
