From that image, I would say potato.

Oblate spheroid.

Omg retards. BAIT THREAD. BAIT THREAD.

THE EARTH IS BALL SHAPED. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT. I KNOW THAT. YOU FUCKING RETARDS.

The earth is not potato and is not flat I swear.

Now, good goy, please learn more mathematics so that you understnad that the shape of the world is actually spherical I fucking swear.

Yes, I fucking swear. If you just walk in one direction you will just reach the same point. You will definitely not reach the edge of the earth where god will meet you and give you your yearly allowance so that you, the true jewish religion, can live above everyone else.

Indeed, that is ridiculous as there is not even an edge of the earth!
I swear.

It's shaped like a disk resting on 4 elephants standing on the back of a turtle

Looks pretty fucking flat to me

Yeah exactly
Its potato shape.
Why do you think its the only fruit that grows underground?
Where do you think potatoes got their shape from?

A perfect sphere.

from what i understand its a bit fatter on the equator than on the prime meridian. the circumfrence is about 200km longer or so?

The surface is flat

What part of it is flat user?

It's called an oblate spheroid. The difference is relatively so small that you couldn't notice it if you were able to see the whole Earth anyway, so that snazzy new magnetically suspended globe you just got is still correct, at least visually

Hyperbolic plane

the equator goes around ~25,000km or so

a 200km difference is less than one percent

so unless you can tell the different between a .99 cmand a 1.00 cm line in the shape of a plus sign, then yes you can't tell the difference

>that image
Wtf im woke now

All of you are newbies.

The earth is perfectly flat. Bouyancy accounts for every force on a flat watch and can explain any and all mathmatical problems.

Gravity is merely a ploy by NASA for more funding. OPEN YOUR EYES AND DO THE MATH.

...

cube

personally I like torus shaped earth

...

Angular acceleration -> Gives off radiation -> gets slower -> gif is shit

>gives off radiation
I'm pretty sure the big thing here is friction losses

Still it is matter with point shaped charges in different locations being accelerated. No matter how frictionless it is, it will radiate off energy and thus brake itself down with magnetism.

crap, I misread that.

Not that.

Its an 8 dimensional dynamic polyhedra with a fractal surface.

polyhedron

why the fuck do these retars think that nasa, the same organization that is so fucking adept at keeping the flat earth a secret, would VOLUNTARILY put out pictures that challenge their credibility?
do these people think they are nic cage in national treasure and that they can unearth a world wide super conspiracy by looking at pictures on the internet???

fucking morons

> le oblate spheroid meme
fuck off, neil degrASSe tyson you dumb, unbearably smug liberal

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patema_Inverted

What a weird sounding anime

erf is erf shaped

You guys are ALL wrong.

The truth is, the Earth is both flat AND round. All Plane(ts) are.


It's a 3D projection of a hyperdimensional "circle" or "sphere". The "rotation" we see is merely our perception of time as 3 dimensional observers.

Pic related is a 4D cube. It only looks like it's moving because that's the way we would perceive it, as time is linear to us. In reality it's in all possible moments of time at the same time. Now try to imagine this same concept but a sphere.

When you reach the "edge" of the Earth you don't fall off, you just wrap around like pacman. For all intents and purposes, shit's flat as hell. When you're far enough away gravitational lensing causes the slightly feathered rounded appearance we're all familiar with.

Space is time. In the most literal sense.

Flat

>In 2067, scientists attempt to harness energy from gravity. The gravity reverses, however, and nearly everyone and everything is sent flying from Earth.

Sounds like it was written by Veeky Forums

...

>"it only looks like it's moving because that's the way we would perceive it"
>thinks we wouldn't see it's a gif

sounds legit

Yellow

oblate ellipsoid

Interestingly, not that shape at all.

You forgot to mention the central mountain/swpire at Cori Celesti.

Tat image with the dinos getting flung into space from the flat earth needs to be in there somewhere.

>particle is uncharged
What now?

Earth isn't a sphere or flat.
It has mountains.

>I swear

I am a Knower of 4 corner simultaneous 24 hour Days that occur within a single 4 corner rotation of Earth.

God guise for Queer scam, enslaves 4 Day cube brain as ONEist. Vilify teachers - for Queers swindle Tithe from 1 Day Retarded

Till You KNOW 4 Simultaneous Days
Rotate In Same 24 Hours Of Earth
You Don't Deserve To Live On Earth
Americans are actually RETARDED from

Religious Academia taught ONEism -upon

an Earth of opposite poles, covered by Mama

Hole and Papa Pole pulsating opposite sexes.

The ONEist educated with their flawed 1 eye

perspective (opposite eyes overlay) Cyclops

mentality, inflicts static non pulsating logos

as a fictitious queer same sex transformation.

The Earth's average deviation from being a perfect sphere is less than that of a freshly-made bowling ball (ignoring the finger holes).

A bowling ball is fucking worthless, ignoring the finger holes.

'Toroidal' is the only correct answer

if the radius of the earth is 6300km and the highest mountains are in the range of 10km, and the deepest seas are also in the range of 10km, then how the fuck can the earth look like a potato with a maximum of 0.3% height changes relative to the radius?

The Earth has to be a sphere, because a sphere is the most divine of the sacred geometric proportions.

makes the 3 utilities problem much easier

Fraudulent ONEness of religious

academia has retarded your opposite

rationale brain to a half brain slave.

YOU IGNORE 3 OF 4 DAYS -

FORCE 4 DAYS ON EARTH,

THEY ALREADY EXIST.

4 HORSEMEN HAVE 4 DAYS

IN ONLY 1 EARTH ROTATION.

4 ANGLES STOOD ON 4 CORNERS.

4 CORNERS ROTATE TO 16 CORNERS

WHICH EQUAL TO 4 CORNER DAYS.

TEACHERS ARE EVIL LIARS - THE

ONEness OF GOD IS STILLness DEATH.

YOU WERE ONEness RETARD ON THE
EARTH OPPOSITES ALL YOUR LIFE.

Actually the sphere is divine because of the earth, not the other way around
Get it right.
Hell yeah

usa is big

...

isn't that statement a model for the truth value of models?

A geoid. Map projections like universal transverse mercator are a good compromise for most latitudes except around

>thinking he meant that with the picture
>not realizing that would happen in reality

round ish

I suppose it is. Do you find it useful?

That's actually a gravitational map, a geoid.

Belief is the enemy of knowing

Like a tangerine, NOT an orange.

No seriously.

WRONG

It's an oblate ellipsoid

Round, not spherical.

Knowledge is a subset of belief.

>yfw all of science relies on the belief of determinism and materialism

Oh dear, not you again.

Gravity map from ESA's GOCE satellite

I think ive seen this on two boards so far.

Right, and is turtles all the way down.

Ball made of neutrons is unstable or radiates shitloads of magnetic stuff.

Sea level isn't exactly spherical, this image exaggerates the slight height variations caused by the topology of the ocean floor.

* topography

That was a special NASA camera that detects awesomeness.
