Mt Everest.....Shrinking
Posted on 5/1/15 at 8:39 pm

"The radar images reveal that some of the world's tallest peaks — including Mount Everest — dropped by about 1 inch, according to the nonprofit UNAVCO, a geoscience research consortium. That's because the Earth's crust relaxed in the areas north of the Kathmandu, after the earthquake released pent-up strain."
That's a load of baloney. I don't think it's possible to measure Mt Everest to within an inch.

We can send probe to Pluto, but can't measure the height of a mountain on earth?

Entirely believable. My crust relaxed several inches after releasing pent-up strain last night.

Nope. Snowdrifts alone would screw up the measurements

Bravo sir. Made me literally laugh out loud.

You know a lot about that type of measuring?

Don't know anything about it. Just don't believe it because there's too many factors to be that accurate.
1 inch? Please!

No use arguing.

Didn't people just land a device on a comet flying through space while rotating?
I think it can be a lot more accurate than just 1 inch of they need to be

What if I told you land moves?

I imagine there are instruments capable of detecting solid earth compared to snow.
Actually I know there are, just don't know which specific technology that would be.

I knew it!!
Measuring Mt Everest
"Despite sophisticated gravimeters, complicated equations and fancy tools like global positioning systems, the elevation of Mount Everest is only precise to within a foot or two.
"All of our elevations have an error," Molnar said."
