Would Earth make a good Billiard Ball?

Pretty sure the Badwater 135 race is the coolest thing in this video, but sorry if you thought it was too long of a tangent. Thanks for watching!

I can't keep that 6min/km pace even on perfectly flat ground, these marathonists are insane

The real question is, what consistency would a pool ball-sized Earth have? Would it collapse under its own weight?

[@kakyoin5862]

If it were shrunk, it’d be super strong. If it were modeled as close as can be using normal materials, no.

[@nope1904]

It will probably turn into a blackhole

[@chimpinabowtie6913]

@@nope1904 You've misunderstood the premise, the idea is to model the Earth at the size of a pool ball, not to cram the entire mass of Earth into that size of an object.

[@nope1904]

@@chimpinabowtie6913 oh ok

[@enderprism9055]

i mean, using it would probably crack the crust open

[@dbyrne231]

I can think of a couple of other problems. The net density of Earth (~5.5 g/cm3) is about 3.2 times the density of a billiard ball (1.7 g/cm3). The liquid core would probably change things too.

[@b22chris]

Some golf balls have liquid cores and they’re designed that way.

[@dbyrne231]

@@b22chris Right, but that doesn’t mean a liquid core billiard ball would work well.

Yeah there's a lot this ignores haha

But would earth transfer energy when hitting other pool balls, or is the sandy crust of earth too soft?

[@ethawalli]

That was a fun video. You're criminally underrated

[@m136dalie]

Love the video concept. Very well executed too, presents it in an interesting and simple way. Also good joke at the end

What about force tho if you hit the earth with the proportional force of a pool queue is the Gravity strong enough to hold the earth together?

[@lejoueurfreetoplay]

It's not about gravity at that scale

[@Tigewew]

Wont the water just flow out onto the table?

[@BroccoliVR_sub]

Have you ever heard of a gravitational pull?

[@xoan7278]

​​@@BroccoliVR_subthe gravitational pull of normal earth is stronger than pool ball earth

[@Turrets-yd9ws]

This was really cool👍

That scientist dude would do anything to not let you finish your sentence till he sounds right. Forgot his name, no need to remember

[@kargi42]

What about density?

[@Brominelover]

Wouldn’t the water fall out 😊

[@masterweird]

Yes but the oceans are so thin relative to the earth it would only be a couple of milliliters

[@DarkChaosMC]

We learned this in earth science

[@calorawetsock2749]

the ball would break, and everyone on it would die

[@Adrianthesquid]

I have a question what happens if all the planets had one Galaxy then the sun form as a planet ring the planet ring will be supermassive it was just a question ❓

[@rickdaruler333]

You should had a clip of a pool ball under a microscope

[@techpriestsalok8119]

Question though, did they measure the whole ball or is it possible they got an unusually smooth square millimeter? Like I assume the boarders of the numbers are not as smooth as the larger areas of similar color.

[@Definite_Article]

Can you please use a dark background so my eyes aren't flashbanged?

[@vi64489]

However I think earth would be too fragile to be hit by the bat(?) in pool

[@zagboi]

As a Earthian, I am offended.

[@rafy1111]

I think the earth would be perfect for a poker chip. jk

[@stio_studio]

What about that Earth would just be a pile of magma?

[@stevemartin1066]

Is it

[@Just_Us1]

So it would be rounder but not as smooth

[@Hoppp4848]

Wouldn't the surface just crack upon hitting it revealing super hot mama or an i overthinking this

[@Unidentifiedtransgirl]

I read the title and I already know the answer No because it's to large

[@dinothemcboy9219]

Woaaaaah

[@memeemporer11]

Well the water would fall off, the ball would be uneven, and the land would crumble and break off even more, I'd say no (before watching)

[@9nikolai]

You could say the same things about a billiard ball though.

[@memeemporer11]

@@9nikolai billiard balls arnt made of literal dirt, and were made to be repeatedly smashed together

The earth isnt round though, it bulges around the equater, its an oblique spheroid

It's round, it's just not a sphere. And the video goes over that, it's only 3 minutes long
