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

      A level would have to be unwieldy large before it would have to account for that. Thats completely made up.

    It still makes me laugh all our building’s paths and stuff like that are judged by a floating air bubble in a coloured liquid.

        Unless your building or infrastructure was built after they became a thing, everything else, air bubble.

    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….

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