It
is flat -- with respect to your local space. If you could walk on water (which, I'm sure, some FORUM members can do), and if the ocean were perfectly still, you could walk from Boston to England without ever walking uphill or downhill. 3,000 miles of comfortable, relaxing walking. In other words --
flat, with respect to gravity.
