but...the bullet fired must drop a few cm further, due to the curvature of the earth...am i wrong?

@neiltyson ,,,did you forget to take into account the curvature of the earth do the geologyThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson If a bullet did not respond to gravity, it would hit you 7 times before you could fall out of its path. (in 1 second) .Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson What about the curvature of the earth http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/838/fire-a-gun-drop-a-bullet-from-the-same-height-which-bullet-hits-the-ground-first … and any vertical component of drag forces http://scienceblogs.com/dotphysics/2009/10/09/mythbusters-bringing-on-the-physics-bullet-drop/ …?Thanks.

@neiltyson Just saw this, and I have to disagree. This is only true if the surface of the earth was perfectly flat and the bullet is slow.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson I remember my HS physics prof proved this with math, and I failed at proving him wrong with experimentation. I learned physics!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson Does this take into account the curvature of the earth...however minute?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson No it doesn't.... the curvature of the earth makes that it will land marginally later... I am dissapoint.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson I just saw this, and no they do not hit the ground at the same time. It depends on the speed. Escape velocity? Physics done : )Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson Always loved this fact. Still trying to convince a skeptical eight-year old son. Sooner or later.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson Just saw this tweet because I'm reading a bunch of your tweets (you're awesome). This seems crazy! No matter the height?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson I know this is quite a throwback, but are you accounting for the curvature of the Earth in this model?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
