      No, you are at the top. If you were at the center you wouldn’t need a level to tell you.

    The haversine formula is more accurate than a straight line in measuring distances around the size of cities or zip codes. Geodesics are even more accurate because they take into account the stretching around the equator, both require curved earths to calculate more accurate distances than flat calculations. But obviously math, especially addition, is a conspiracy to cover the truth of the Time Cube™. /s

    You actually proved the exact opposite.

    That dry, dusty ground proves that water can’t always find the level.

    Find the level. Yeah, I’ll show myself out.

    OP found a manifold, and stampeded straight towards the wrong large-scale interpretation.
    Like an Earth-measuring version of charly kirk on the gun issue, and look at him now, where that got him.
