Hello Michiel,

 BF>>    Now you are wrong. Mt. Everest is the highest point above the
 BF>> *present* sea level. It will no longer be if you raise it by 8840m.

 BF>>    Because of the centrifugal force that causes the Earth to be
 BF>> "flattened" as you call it -- more accurately become an ellipsoid --
 BF>> the sea level will be raised equally much more, the closer to the
 BF>> equator you get.

 BF>>    How can you not understand such elementary physics...?

 MvdV> GIGO also applies to physics. The GI in this case is "raise the sea 
level
 MvdV> by 8840m".

 MvdV> If the planet turns into Sea World, "raising sea level by 8840m" is not 
how
 MvdV> it will happen. Where would all that water come from? If all the ice in 
the
 MvdV> world melts, we are talking 100 or 200 meters at most. So raising the 
sea
 MvdV> level by 8840m is not going to happen.

 MvdV> Present another model where (almost) all of the earth is covered by 
water
 MvdV> and we can talk again.

I can make that happen.
But it will not be science as you know it.
