That sounds right. Just from my back-of-the-envelope-calculations, a mountain with a 5000-foot prominence is on the scale of micro-inches on an earth that is 4 inches in diameter. On a finished aircraft part with everything in-spec, you can very easily see and feel a 1/1000th inch ding or corrosion pit in the metal. But the mountain on the 4-inch diameter earth is comparative to feeling the difference between a 16 and 32 micro-inch surface finish. You can't, you need specialized equipment to measure that. I'd say the snooker ball is a very good analogy.

We've all used those million-to-one maps, putting them into perspective with the rest of the earth is so cool, and helps me get a better sense of the earth's size and size relationships far better than I ever have before! With the additional info about mountain sizes being truly amazing. I've always had trouble envisioning relatively small islands having whole mountain ranges on them (even though I've been to Hawaii and seen it first hand!), seeing things this way suddenly makes it make sense! For anyone who wants to mentally add the atmosphere to the roof picture, when he's up there on the roof you can imagine the entire atmosphere ending just 4 inches above the map.

Funny, my gut feeling was yes, surface features like mountains would be on the scale detectable by touch. Glad your video confirmed it.
@ScienceAsylum3 жыл бұрын
Yep! Not because the mountains are big, but because human touch is incredible.

I don't have confirmation of this, but I think that if you were large enough to be able to actually feel the Earth in your hands, you would accidentally crush a large part of it. Along with this, remember that the human hand puts out 212 W/m^2 in infrared light, which is almost as much as the Earth itself (235W/m^2). If you had the Earth in your hand for a decent amount of time, I wouldn't be surprised if it became less habitable than Venus.

5:38 It should be noted that those elevations are relative to Sea Level, and no part of Colorado is at Sea Level, so, while the mountains are that "high", they would not look as "tall" relative to the surrounding land as those rocks do on your map. You did note that later in the video, I know, but that doesn't stop that visual from being misleading.

Thanks to this video, I had an answer for my brother when we were on a long car ride together and he pondered this question. Yes, you could feel houses and cars if you held a scale Earth in your hand!! Now then, I'm gonna go back to touching my favorite book covers that have patterns of matte and glossy finishes. Mm. Subtle texture.

I've seen videos from a well-known science educater on KZbin state that the earth would feel as smooth as a cue ball and that you wouldn't even be able to feel the water. I found that hard to believe but hey... what do I know. Great video 👍👍
@ScienceAsylum3 жыл бұрын
They're correct about the cue ball, but they always underestimate how sensitive human touch is.

I like that smooth sphere, since the gold foil longitude and latitude lines are similar to what you've described - not noticeable touching the ball, but unmistakable if rubbing it.

@@ScienceAsylum No, sadly not. There used to be, over a thousand years ago, when my ancestors first arrived, but they were steadily cut down over time. Thankfully now, we get all our heat and power from the very forces that forged the land - hydroelectric and geothermal. The main swimming pool in Reykjavik has 3 hot pools - hot, very hot and F that! Didn’t understand how people could lie in there when I was a child and still didn’t understand when I came back aged 21. Growing seasons tend to be short and weather wind swept - doesn’t stop Iceland from growing its own bananas- does take a couple of years in a heated green house. Trees in the city tend not to go much above roof top - after that they get exposed to the wind.

I ran a rip saw in a furniture mill, mostly laying up chair seats from alder 3/4" to 1.5" thick. we would cut out & around defects [such as putting rot & knots on corners that would be cut off, minor defects that didn't go thru would be put at the bottom], feeling defects, thicknesses, grain etc was part of the job. Finger tips got quite sensitive, so yeah, we can feel with our fingers things we can't see.
