You mean it's not a perfect sphere? I suspect even the dumbest among us understand that. Probably even loneiguana.

Only up to the club level. The 1%ers don't want residue in their boxes.

I'm not sure exactly how to break this to you, but that is not a image of the earth. I really appreciate your efforts at trying to get this thread into the Hall of Classics but it's demeaning to reeruned people to portray them in this light.

It is a highly exaggerated rendering, but it neatly illustrates how the tug we feel from the mass of rock under our feet is not the same in every location.
<a href="http://maptd.com/the-earths-geoid-mapped/">An explanation from the source of your hot linked image.</a>

And the article explaining it further from BBC found in the same article.

ROFL

Srvy, tap out dude. I hate seeing you do this to yourself.

:facepalm:JFC.... can you get anything correct here? That's not an image of the actual mapped surface of the earth. A geoid is a representation of the surface of the earth that it would assume if the sea covered the earth, also known as surface of equal gravitational potential. It's a method to calculate surface elevations. It is not a representation of the shape of the Earth's crust.

Oh...there's more when you dig into the BBC article explaining it..

It is the shape the oceans would adopt if there were no winds, no currents and no tides.

The differences have been magnified nearly 10,000 times to show up as they do in the new model.

The Earth is an oblate spheroid - mostly spherical, but flat at the top and round at the Equator. It's also smoother than a billiard ball would be if they were both the same size.

I learned both of those by the eighth grade. It's fairly basic.

See that's where they get you. Schools exist for indoctrination not education.

I know this to be true because I heard it from BEP who is not a professional educator, therefore she knows more than actual teachers.

You were getting hammered and called out on your BS. People responded with facts and science. You used this guy as a "science and facts" counterpoint. You just made yourself look sillier.

Advice............quit digging.
