No matter which direction is downhill.
Spheres do not have a top and bottom. If you take a basketball and hold it up you will say that it has a top and bottom. However, if you rotate the sphere top to bottom 180°, then the top has become the bottom and the bottom has become the top. So what what does "top" and "bottom" really mean?
Remember, the Earth is really REALLY big and because of that, it has a gravity that always pulls things towards its center. Wherever you go on Earth, down is defined by gravity pulling you towards the center if the planet at that point.

Wrong.
Horizontal Line - Slope, Equation | Horizontal and Vertical Lines
A horizontal line is a straight line that is drawn from left to right or right to left and it is parallel to the x-axis in the coordinate plane. A horizontal line has an intercept only on the y-axis and not on the x-axis.

Wrong.
The level doesn't give a hang about location.
So, you think gravity makes a level work?
So where's yer globe earth gettin' a 23 degree tilt if you don't have an up and down?

Horizon Coordinate System The horizon is defined as the dividing line between the Earth and the sky, as seen by an observer on the ground. In the horizon coordinate system the astronomical horizon is the hypothetical interface between Earth and sky, as would be seen by the observer if the surrounding terrain were perfectly flat (as out on a calm ocean).
So... earth measured flat.

ESPECIALLY if you missed the point o,OSelective hearing much?
This thread is just Part II. There's a Part I as well.

It's really dumb. Like claiming that Einstein's theory was the "prototype" for the theory of gravity. I'm pretty sure that Newton lived before Einstein.
What do you think makes objects fall to the earth? Magic pixie dust?

Maybe you can give Caltech a call and straighten em out.
You mean like gas molecules, clouds, and balloons?
I don't need magical anything.
It's you globe believers who need magical gravity.

He didn't. He agreed with you and said it couldn't be. While you both agreed, 'how' it applies to need or not need a flat earth is important. It'll further along your conversation if you recognize you and he 'agreed.' That was the 'ouch.' As a preliminary, if you are standing on the slope of a hill, there is still a horizontal level, it is just not going to match the slope you are standing on. It'll meet that hill at its slope and tell you the degree of the slope.

I mean like anything; like an apple for example.
Something causes things to fall from the sky to the earth. What is it?
Gravity is not magical. It's a simple fact of nature; just like the roughly spherical earth.

Not conflating, just got it wrong.
Yes, the second law is about entropy.
Gas will disperse into the available space.
Ideal gas law states that gas pressure cannot occur without containment.
If yore "atmosphere" is not contained no air to breathe.
Yer a dead man walkin'.
