I did not mean to suggest that satellites measure the circumference of 
their travel. They know the dimensions of the sphere they are on by 
different means (radar ranging, effectively). The point of my 
illustration of walking in a circle is to point out that you do not need 
to be able to see the center of a circle to know where it is, even when 
walking around a mountain.

Not so. The GPS satellites have each other to provide that reference, 
and likewise knowledge of the sphere.

You have this mistaken illusion that all location services are with 
respect to ground level, and this is simply untrue. It's a false claim 
you have to let go of.

I don't think so, no. I don't know where you got the impression that it 
does.

Again with this "significant" term. I ask you again whether Jello 
"significantly" distorts when you tip the bowl, as it is a semi-solid 
and not a liquid. Yes or no?

Nor is a watermelon. Objection irrelevant.

They are just as rigid as the Earth's crust! I suggest you look up the 
thickness of an avocado skin compared to the fruit radius, and compare 
it to the earth's crust thickness compared to the earth's radius!

It's like Jello -- a semi-solid.

Differential heat flow! Just like the sun!
