Nail Degrasse Tyson said it's pear shaped - are you denying the word of a PhD astrophysicist? - high priest of the religion of Scientism.

What a heretic you are.

How is it heresy?

If he wants to belive its pear shaped he's free to do so. I believe its a globe

Besides our beliefs will differ here and there since he does not believe in God. I do

There are scientists who believe the earth is flat

If you dont like the word "pear", everyone in Scientism claims earth is an oblate spheroid, that there is an "equatorial bulge"

for this to happen the pseudo force of coriolis would have to be greater than the pseudo force of gravity
and waves 1000 feet high would be crashing into the equator to create this bulge of water 14 miles high
when oceans around the equator are no deeper than anywhere else - So why does no one observe this?

Its not that I dislike the word pear . I just don't care about his exact beliefs

Possibly because its not that much (going by his beliefs). If you look at globe earth models you hardly notice.

In any case this would be a pointless discussion since you dont believe in gravity or the ciriolis force and I don't fully believe him like I said

Super relevant for flat Earthers:

Pear shaped by like 1% because of the equatorial bulge in combination with the rotational tilt

No because the Earth is quite large relative to the size of the bulge
Actually that's not even the answer. The gravitational forces point down, not sideways. Big league. That's why water doesn't flow up mountains: even Everest is negligible in Mass compared to the center of gravity of our planet

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure_of_the_Earth

The difference 21 kilometers (13 mi) correspond to the polar radius being approximately 0.3% shorter than the equator radius.

So are you denying your own model or claiming you just don't understand it
while simultaneously not understanding anything about Flat Earth while being triggered that my understanding is not 100% homogeneous with that of Chivas
while your Scientism has had 2500 years to get there story straight but we only had 5. Wow,unbelievable.

If you live on the highest floor of the world trade centre, you will 'age' much faster than if you live in your mom's basement because of the gravitational difference resulting in a different experience of spacetime
