What people don’t realize is that these levels are built with a barely-perceptible curve to match the shape of the Earth.

As Gandalf said:
“If you compare an Ant to a Level, a Human will go its whole life thinking the Earth is flat.”

Any spirit level is simply a measure of its tangent with centre of mass of the earth on its plane. I can use the same technique to prove a tennis ball is flat, I can prove thin air is flat….

Woahhh…. What if, everything is flat…. Duuuuude.
