What is Sea Level?

For everyone who may be arguing about if the Earth is actually being thrown out by inertial forces instead of Centrifugal. The answer is: No. In physics, inertia is a property of matter in which an object retains its state of rest or its velocity along a linear path assuming it is not acted upon by an external counter-force. Centrifugal force is the outward force on a body of mass that is rotating on its axis. Parts of the Earth are indeed being effected by inertial effects, but that does not affect the Earth as a whole, because the Earth… Read more »

Clicked on this thinking the answer was obvious.

Mind blown!

I still don’t get it.

This guy needs to shut his loud mouth, how would you even know there is a
difference in km of the radius of the earth, did you go and measure it, no,
so its based on faith. Secondly lets say its true, that is not enough km to
even notice anything, and to even think to draw it anything but a sphere
when representing the earth is stupid

has anyone found out what is the 0s and 1s are?

Dang its pretty cool that Denver got its name “the Mile High city” for
being exactly a mile higher than sea level.

Centrifugal? Really? I would understand if just a stranger made that
mistake, but physics channel?

Those 1’s and 0’s look pretty random to me, then again, my brain is trained
to spot random. Although mathematics may reveal that it is not random at
all, as you sometimes need advanced software to detect true randomness.

The author of that book needs to understand what information is.

but the dead sea is a sea but it is -417 sea level, explanation please?

no they weren’t random because they are binary code so it made something,
right?

Wow! That was amazing. I really learned something new. 🙂 Thanks.

Given that it seems mantle density’s effects on sea level can be so
extreme, a possible counter to catastrophic sea level changes due to the
effects of climate change could be to reduce the density in affected
locations enough to lower see level by a corresponding amount. Obviously
something requiring engineering beyond our current
abilities…perhaps…but definitely allowed by the laws of physics. Very
interesting indeed!

I don’t think I’ve ever put that much thought into sea level before. My
mind is kind of blown by this.

Wow, I’m so glad I watched this. I had no idea it was this complicated

Shouldn’t this by a MinuteEarth video? Maybe? Well… There is some
physics…

What is sea level and how is determined.

2:42 in the morning. Cant… Stop… Watching… MINUTEPHYSICS!!!!!! D:

I knew the question “What is sea level?” was more complicated than first
assumed, but I didn’t even consider some of these.

sooo good. #physics #sealevel

Wow. Go geodesists. That’s impressive

So mass creates gravity?

Unless � «VÊÛjvX�Ïs2 isn’t gibberish, it is random.

science bitch!!

After seeing this, it’s almost a wonder that the GPS works so well.
