Even if it's flat, gravity works in that direction (radial).

Yes, and?

Put a sheet of paper vertical and let gravity do its work. What happens? Then think about a BIG "sheet" that has gravity by itself. You end up with a ball.

yes:

  1. that ball has 10^18^ kg mass
  2. that ball falls on earth and burns all the oxygen (debatable) or the cutout falls on earth like a big wrapper and burns evenly.
