    Does this have any noticeable effects for the physics on the surface, at either the high or low points?

      It may play a small part in why we struggle to get a consistent and precise value for the gravitational constant. We can get a lot of digits consistently, but we can’t quite seem to agree on the exact value beyond a certain point.

      Of course, I think the leading theory has a lot more to do with material and therefore density variations throughout the crust and mantle, maybe core but probably less so. Still, standing in certain spots is going to get you slight tugs in different directions, and it may not matter when you’re only after a few digits, but when you decide you want all of them… Little things start to matter.

      Yeah, seemed odd to me since at a golf ball’s scale, Everest would fit inside a dimple.

    This shows tectonic movement! The Indian subcontinent is moving super fast north, creating the Himalayas but also creating a very deep chasm to the south in the Indian Ocean.

    The Mid-Atlantic ridge is also visible, growing Europe as North America is subsumed.

    Thanks for sharing something super cool!

        When the galactic child formed the Earth mud ball, there was slightly more mud on that side?

      Little known fact, those geopolitical lines were discovered in antiquity and we built nations based on their borders.
