Everest was given the credit by his successor Andrew Vaugh after it's height was calculated. It's height however was calculated by a Bengali Mathematician Radhanath Sikdar in 1852 who was hired by Andrew Vaugh to be the chief computer for the Geological Survey .Radhanath Sikdar also calculated the height of Mount Kanchenjunga the same year....He used some special kind of Trigonometric calculations to calculate the height. He also wrote some technical manuals on mathematics for survey.

While technically true yes, the name Sagarmatha is comparatively quite modern compared to the one that VSauce gave as the above mentioned name is from the local Sherpa and Tibetan tribes living near Sagarmatha. Sagarmatha on the otherhand was decided by a historian in Kathmandu. Baburam Acharya (1888-1971) was a Nepalese historian who coined the name Sagarmatha, for the mountain better known as Mount Everest or Chomolungma (in Sherpa language; Quomolungma in Tibetan). Nepal had no official name of its own for the world’s tallest peak in Nepali (although official name among many Nepalese peoples - Sherpa, Limbu, etc., existed long ago) until the historian found out one. Baburam wrote an essay in the late 1930s in which he said that among the local populace of the remote Everest region the mountain was popular by the name Sagarmatha (meaning the Head of the Earth touching the Heaven); some even called it Jhomolongma.

Michael's supervillain arc continues.

So from Dr. Dave's picture we see a difference in heights of 1 micron (peak to valley) for spots that are within 1000 microns (1mm) of each other. Since the radius of a pool ball is about 28560 microns, the "local" roughness observed is about 1/30000 or about roughly 30 parts per million. For a similar ratio on the surface of the Earth, consider the extreme of Mt. Whitney to Death Valley, which are pretty close to each other and differ in elevation by about three miles. Since the radius of the Earth is about 4000 miles, the "local" roughness of the Earth is about 1/1400 or 700 parts per million. Measurements in Louisiana will give a different roughness. Driskill Mountain is 535 feet (or 0.1 mile, close enough) and the highest point in the state. 0.1/4000 is 1/40000 or slightly smoother than the polished ball Dr. Dave showed. If you look just at the oceans, the roughness is around 150 feet in the worst swells, but that would be quite a bit smoother than the polished pool ball. Gouged pool balls -- from having been knocked onto the floor or against the wall -- might have pits 100 microns deep. Those would be rougher than California by a factor of 5 or so. In my experience, Aramith balls out of the box are within 0.001 inch of the correct size and are rounder than that. That means that the non-roundness of a ball is less than 0.001/1.125 or 0.1% or about 100PPM. The Earth is about 3300PPM out of round according to the above postings. Bottom line: New, polished pool balls are much rounder than the Earth and somewhat smoother than the "geologically interesting" areas of the Earth. Old, worn pool balls are still much rounder than the Earth but depending on damage may be rougher than the roughest spots on the surface of the Earth.

This is how my brain works right here, just flying randomly from tangentially connected fact to fact.

I always thought that the name ‘Everest’ came from the people who tried to climb it and died. Hence why I thought this gave it it the name ‘Ever-rest’.

Chomolungma is the Tibetan name and Sagarmatha is the Nepalese name but they apparently all prefer the name Everest.

Sagaramatha is not a native name. It was made up by the Nepalese government sometime in the 20th century. The only native name of the mountain is Chomolungma. For the record, the Nepali language is not spoken natively around the area Everest is located in.

@@ratoraj interesting... What are your sources on this? I'd be interested to look into it further as I've heard to it referred to as Sagarmatha whilst travelling there and that area of Nepal is known as and referred to on maps such as by National Geographic as Sagarmatha National Park. When I went to the Hinku Valley in Nepal at the end of last year, our guides spoke in a language they called Nepalese. Do they speak a different language in the Khumbu Valley?

​@@ratoraj Makes you think, how can a surveyor be blamed, when even the nation overrides the native name.. But there was something else I've read somewhere. I think initially, nobody realized that peak was the tallest in the world, and was simply unnamed among other named peaks? How much of it is true? Maybe it was another peak, like K2🤔 ?

​​​​​​​@@sf9000Nepal has many different languages. 123 officially recognised ones IIRC. The Nepalese language is the official language agreed to be used by everyone. But people from different regions, villages and even neighboring hills have different languages, sometimes similar and sometimes very different. The Sherpas in khumbu have an incredibly different language from the Tharu in Terai. Many elderly people still don't speak Nepali, only understand it. Mountain names like Chomolungma and cho-oyu (the turquoise goddess) share Tibetian origins and meanings (so do the Sherpa though I might be wrong.) Most mountains are named in their local languages. Here are a few examples: - Saipal (7031) - Chomolungma (8848- highest peak of the world) - Cho oyu (8188- 6th highest peak) - Shishapangma (14th-highest mountain in the world, at 8,027 metres, Tibet)

They prefer the name that draws 5,000 tourists per year and nets them a king's ransom. It gives them a high-paying career.

Fun Factoid : Andrew Scott Waugh was the 1st man to put 2 feet on the top of Mt. Everest. He was a surveyor who calculated the height of Mt. Everest to be 29,000 ft. Because he thought it was too accurate and nobody would believe him he published its height as 29,002 ft. Making him the 1st man to put 2 feet on top of Mt. Everest.

That whole naming story is actually hilarious 😆

I think the only thing I knew was that he didn't want it named after him. I never knew the Tibetan name Chomolongma. Sounds like a pretty cool guy if he pushed for it to keep it's real name. We had a big thing in Australia with Uluru being called Ayers Rock but now it's mostly just referred to as Uluru.

It was actually discovered by a bengali geologist who worked under Sir Everest probably in kolkata. One day he was working in some of his projects and suddenly found that a mountain was taller than it supposed to, he did some calculation and found that it was way bigger than it should be. He then informed it to His head, Sir Everest, and the rest is history. Edit:- if i am wrong anywhere please educate me.
