No it isn't. It's slightly flattened because of constant spinning, kind of like an egg sitting on its side.

So the statemt is false. That highest peak MUST mean it is farthest from center.

OK Philo, a question specially for you (but anyone can answer)
There is a philosophical concept in cosmology that says that observations of the physical Universe must be compatible with the conscious life that observes it
Simply put, the reason we ask the question ‘why the universe is the way it is because the way universe evolved, only an intelligent life form at this stage of universe could ask such question’ .If no one was there to ask such question then universe was not worthy of such question being asked bout it
This philosophical concept is known as
Hawking’s Model
Anthropic Principle
Law of Entropy
Euclidean vector
Doppler effect

No I have not read that book. I Will.

Yup hitchens wrote god is not great, it was so lame. He was just and idiotic big mouth. I’m gonna read the grand design
