“Consciousness affects outcomes” is such a cringe take, it’s more like, you’re in a 3d slice of time and where you inhabit is based on what you do and you’re allowed to do anything within that as long as it’s self-consistent, with things self-correcting if they’re not.
Those barbaric Brits let it stand out in the open, so untill they learn how to take proper care of it, we have declared ourselves unilaterally to be the guardians of the monument and so we're absolutely justified in taking it.
The original is a exaggerated estimate (projection) based on a assumed sphere, probably WGS84, because a lot of the global satellite data is formatted as such.
“reality” as in extremely exaggerated deviations from the ellipsoid. Otherwise it would just look like a smooth sphere. Earth has 12’700 km diameter. From the shallowest point to mount everest are just about 20 km. That is a 0.15 % change. You would see nothing.
I think that would be too much. A bowling ball is really smooth. It would not roll as well with such deviations all over the place.
At a diameter of 22 cm, the roughness would have to be in the order of 0.3 mm, which would not just be visible due to the distorted reflections, it would even be audible while rolling.
Having to explain to your parent that yes physics requires math and that yes being a physicist is a job that requires years of dedication to fully appreciate is wild. Also, physicists are just bad at naming things, so no your brain doesn’t change reality around it because it has eye holes attached to it
