Yes it is. There's just more "flat" there. In fact, there's 6 TIMES as much flat on a cubic Earth than your "regular" flat Earth. I did the math

collinsmark said:Are you sure about that?
haven't checked their math yet, btw. Instead I gave up and went to sleep. Maybe later.) Once the gravitational potential is calculated, the vector force field can be found by taking the gradient.
Here is something else that might come in useful:
