After a little bit of Googling, the earth is a tiny bit rounder, and similarly smooth most places besides the mountains which would feel like fine sandpaper. Also, that's based off what a regular cueball should be, not the smoothest 'ever machined'
where you got this information
@@jamesantoine5185 I Googled, found a big reddit post about it, they did all the math.
Tyson is wrong (as he so often is). Shrunk to a cue ball size earth's biggest mountains and valleys would be .04 mm. Which is about 10 times bigger than the biggest bumps and pits on a cue ball.
Tyson talks loudly and with confidence even if he has no clue what he's talking about.
can either of you prove it??
@@jamesantoine5185 Earth diameter 12756 km
Height Everest 8.8 km
Depth Marianas 10.8 km
8.8/12756 = .00069
10.8/12756 = .00085
Cue Ball diameter = 57 mm
.00069 * 57 mm = .039 mm
.00085 * 57 mm = .048 mm
So if earth were shrunk to cue ball size, biggest mountains and deepest valleys would be around .04 mm. As I said.
RUclips has been filtering my comments if they contain links. However if you Google: "Pool Ball Smoothness and Roundness" I believe a top hit will be a page on this topic from some folks at Colorado State University. They found biggest bumps are .32148 µm which is .00032148 mm. Deepest pits are .00054743 mm.
So I guess I was wrong. Earth is about one hundred times rougher than a cue ball.
I guess you must have some really amazing experimental setup in your house to make that big ass claim about cue balls' worse defect being under one tenth of 0.04 mm?
@@mrankitanks I get my info from a University of Denver study. Also VSauce did a video on this urban myth.
I guess you must an astoundingly tiny brain in your skull that you don't know how to use Google?
Basically just quoted Vsauce and thought you sounded small all hell😭 also you know Neil DeGrass Tyson and arguably one of the most educated people on the entire planet about space and have the entire resume to back it up. I think he knows a thing or two 😭
