Is The Earth Round?

The earth has long been thought to be "perfectly round" but this fact is very controversial. The earth has been likened to the smoothness of a Billiard ball. Recent research has more than proved this theory wrong, the depths of the Mariana Trench to the height of Mount Everest is approximately 1.295% of the earth's diameter (known as a Frach's ratio). The largest indent to bump ratio on a Billiard ball is a very measly 0.0034% of the balls diameter this can be explained with the Frach's Theory. The earth shrunk to the size of a small ball it would be more like a basketball which has a similar Frach's ratio of 1.301% of depths difference.
