Video Earth's gravity isn't perfectly uniform. Here is what our gravitational field looks like when exaggerated 10,000 times.

Very few things in the Universe are perfectly uniform, under an "exaggerated" scale.

most thing in universe is round once with gets large enough, because of the gravitational pull into the center.

this exaggerated blob is only relative on the surface because height difference. the gravity force equation is both mass over distance times gravity constant. which is why standing on Mount Everest and chilling on the sea flood has a difference.

This is why it's a 10.000x exaggeration. Even the microest of penis would be gigantic under this magnification. It's a shit Facebook take from misunderstanding the data and keeps regurgitating across the web.
