I thought about it more and it doesn't even seem possible.

That is, whether or not it's ever rained all over the world.

Sorry, not all "there" at the moment.

Jverne?

Jverne?

Yeah i had that thought too.

But the difference is that i'd be willing to debate, unlike most people here.

You mean rained all at once? Or just every part of the world has seen some form of rain?

 

[Tacoeaterguy]

Well I think it's quite obvious that every part of the world has different weather patterns, and climates. I'm pretty sure it would be impossible to rain all over the world, because of all the arctic areas, and all the extremely hot areas in a drought like deserts.

 

[unozero]

In the bible it did.

I'm pretty sure I've wondered that before too. So don't feel so bad .

When I was a kid, sometimes I wondered if there was ever one single nanosecond (in the last several thousand years or so, not like when there were five people in existence) where everyone in the world was simultaneously happy. But then I think about it for half a second, and the answer is pretty obviously a no.

Sometimes I still wonder about the net level of happiness though. As in, whether the aggregate of humankind has been getting happier or sadder over time, or if it's about constant? I dunno. It's impossible to determine.

Have humans explored every part of earth - like every land part of earth? When I mean explored I don't mean a human has to physically be present. I mean have humans basically seen every part earth not counting the deep seas through cameras and such?

wow i suck at explaining things.

Do you know what satellite imagery is?

LOL duh, why didn't i thin of that :rolling:

another pointless question then:

The phrase "there are more stars in the universe then there are every single grain of sand on all the beaches/deserts on earth combined", may very well be true but how the hell do they come up with this stuff? Is there some sort of way of determining how many grains of sand there are?

Same goes for "no 2 snowflakes are exactly alike"...yea the process of creating a snowflake is 100% random but im sure at one point in time there were 2 snow flakes exactly a like.

When the difference is between magnitudes of ten, it is very easy to approximate.

It's called a Fermi problem. Some people solve them for fun.

what about clouds, haze, and distortion??

but anyway i'm sure it has rained everywhere at sometime in the past 4 billion or so years

Tree cover, don't forget tree cover. Some of the densest canopy vegetation areas on the planet are best explored and seen from the forest floor. I mean shit, most trees look the same from above in satellite images.
