    It would if the earth were a perfect sphere, but in reality, it’s an oblate sphereoid. This means that an observer actually gets closer to the center of gravity as one approaches a pole.

      Maybe. But everyone knows gravity pulls “down” and not “towards the center of the oblate spheroid” (nonsense word made up by “”“mathematicians”“” to make us look like fools)

        I think you win this time. I spent a week trying to think of a clever comeback, but it’s just not happening.
