My beliefs about the moon landing in no way figure into this argument. I have a telescope and have viewed several planets and am very comfortable with the theory that planets are basically spheroid at the macro level. I personally have opinions as to the nature of the universe at the sub-Planck level but my opinions do not affect the nature of the universe, either.edit on 12-9-2012 by elfie because: (no reason given)

I find it very hard to believe that you are not trying to have a laugh or trolling, it's just too much of a coincidence that you register the same time that this thread comes up.....

It is a temporal displacement in reality caused by the influence of mass, bending space-time around itself extending inverse squarely from its centre.

You and nobody else will be capable of such.

Not only can we "define" gravity (the attraction due to gravitation that the Earth or another astronomical object exerts on an object on or near its surface), we can also define gravitation (the mutual force of attraction between all particles or bodies that have mass) AND we can even go into more detail about it.
It is dependant upon the mass of two objects and the distance between them in such a way that we even have a gravitational constant, a number that is the same for ALL objects regardless of where they are or how big they are and every single particle of mass in our entire universe from an atom to a planet to a star has the exact SAME gravitational constant associated with it that determines the EXACT force exerted due to gravity. Not just the Earth, not just the moon, not just the sun, but EVERYTHING and everything has the exact same constant. We have tested terrestrial objects, we have measured force related to the moon, we have calculated the orbits of planets due to this constant and have been correct each and every time as shown by the planets showing up in orbit exactly where they were supposed to show up as proof of it being corrrect.
We have tested small particles with them behaving exactly as they should due to the calculations using that constant that is the same for every single particle of mass in the universe and that has served as proof.
So, not only can we DEFINE gravity, we can TEST gravity and we can PROVE gravity. Then, we can use gravity to show the earth is, indeed, a spheroid, we can test it and we can prove it. The only challenge is to help the people reading that proof to be intelligent enough to comprehend what is going on. Hence, we have the flat earth theories and the people who argue until they're blue in the face based on zero proof, zero facts, zero support and zero intelligence. Since they are unwilling or unable to do the background work to develop understanding, they refuse to listen to those who have done so. It doesn't make the truth wrong, it makes the people who refuse to go to the trouble of comprehending the truth wrong.
***no longer to the poster being responded to but to the entire group of those who are preaching the flat earth theory****
The earth is a spheroid, you may not like it, but it has been proven over and over again for centuries now. The inability of a flat-earth theorist to comprehend the mathematics involved does not make it wrong, it makes the theorist who is incapable of comprehending it stupid.
Ignorance is forgivable, it means you DON'T know something, stupidity isn't forgivable, it means you CAN'T know something because you aren't capable. It doesn't mean you should be mistreated or killed or anything of that nature and you should be taken care of since you aren't capable of taking care of yourself, but you are not permitted to dictate anything or tell other people who DO know how things work what you think and try to get them to believe you especially after you have been explained to over and over again. Nobody on this site is "stupid", you are capable of working a computer, you are capable of reading and writing, you are capable of communication, so you aren't "stupid" and you CAN learn if you put in the time and effort so get off your lazy backside and put your brain to work. Research, investigate, learn, then you can understand instead of talking out of your backside.
Deny the Ignorance and put in the effort to learn.

Is it at all possible that you do not understand all of the forces at work upon our universe? Or even just our Earth? That perhaps the whole of human knowledge is eclipsed by everything we do not know?

The Earth, and all other planets/moons and stars are consequences of flat projections from all directions at once.
The consequence is an illusion of spherical proportions, no matter where the observer is sited.
It is akin to having multiple screens at all angles of holographic type projections.
What We term as mass is merely where the projections are super concentrated .
And as with any hologram it doesn't matter how You chop up the image, it will always still be how the origonal projection was sent.
We are independant holograms formed in the overall Earth projection.
The projections are so orientated in fibonacci sequencing that at each PINCH point in universe where creation occurs they form a dominant cross feature that makes the pole and equator regions.
The projections are electrically based, and this induces a magnetic field, the earth does not create the field by spinning as ASSUMED, the earth is a consequence not the driver.
This is also true for the stars, they are not as ASSUMED and indoctrinated for humans to repeat as though they actually KNOW.
Nothing is moving as ASSUMED, it is all an illusion caused by the variations in the holographic inputs from all directions at once.
The universe is a super dense solid composed of really minute geometric mirror faced substance that perfectly packs into a super dense solid.
You reader are within a memory type bubble that is enabled to switch ultra rapidly within that geometry.
You are what You are, but not how You have been TOLD You are.
It's life, but not how We know it.

Yeah, so who TOLD you all this? Based on the way you write I am assuming you are incapable of doing all of that original research on your own.
