I think the whole "movement" has been created from the fact that, scientifically speaking, earth is not round. At least not perfectly round like you see photos, because that's obviously water being pulled by gravity making it look like a soap bubble perfectly rounded. First time I saw real photo of Earth I was somewhat shocked. https://c.tenor.com/f7Pz19uaXFwAAAAC/earth-rotating.gif https://c.tenor.com/f7Pz19uaXFwAAAAC/earth-rotating.gif

"real photo" - followed by a visualization that over-exaggerates the anomalies way more than thousandfold? (i.e. in the image earth is ~240 px high, given a polar diameter of ~12 000km we end up at ~50km per pixel. So even the difference between polar and equatorial diameter would be barely visible, and ~100m anomalies are 0.002px)
