Who cares about models. Models are not reality

We don't live on a model

Can you prove that?

0.05

Thanks rusty.

So, the earth, is 0.05% away from being a perfect sphere.

some models make it look like a tooth with its surface above the water it floats in

So....

It still isnt a perfect sphere

dont know if the maths are right tough

That means that earth, is 99.05% sphereical?

(They are rusty, good job in doing them)

The fact that you question yourself, after performing the math correctly,

You cant have a 99% a cube and consider it a cube

only goes to show you how much doubt people put into themselves due to their appeals to authoritarian sources.

Well, I don't hear people on TV calling cubes "pear shaped"

no i just know i suck at maths and used a percentage calculator

You did it right.

ok so the earth has a spherical shape

so we get that

I don't

Earth is much closer to a perfect sphere, than an oblate spheroid.

Its 43km..

Even Rusty knows that.

So 1/300 the diameter

yes

It not being a perfect sphere makes it an oblate spheroid

its can still be called an oblate spheroid

is this really so hard to understand?

@$amad NEWS FLASH BUDDY, YOU WON'T FIND A PERFECT SPHERE ON EARTH, ANYWHERE.

A sphere will have the same radius from its centre point to its circumfirence no matter what direction

You will

No you won't

Scientists made one

Even the finest machined sphere, is STILL oblate.

And you can look at a digital sphere

"digital" is not real.

No

Scientists made a perfect sphere

Search it

the OBLATE part comes from the spin
