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.

What's funny is that you brought this "Earth is not perfectly round" thing up pretty much out of nowhere---no one was arguing otherwise--and you've managed to appear even more ****ing idiotic than we previously thought. |

I know you have no idea what that is but you will google and try to act as though you do. And yes it is an gravity map of the earth that is used every day to to accurately position points on the surface of the earth. The earth and gravitational effects on its surface makes it look like a Potato. The Geoid is a imaginary line per say drawn around this surface to negate the peeks and valleys of that surface and to use complex mathematical calculations so we can use satellites (GPS) to map and navigate the surface. This is in layman's terms as I am not trained in Geodesy just a land surveyor who applies this in real life. |

What do I deserve Saul? I am not bothered by anything anyone says here. Am i supposed to be bothered that the guy who wrote that book on the pyramids believes that the earth is a flat disk. Has nothing to do with the pyramids and how little we know about them.
