that's what I'm questioning.. if you go down on an elivator to the center of the Earth (ignoring the heat etc.) as you decent, the mass above you will increase.. the mass to either side of you would be canceled by oposite forces.. eg i will have "x" gravitational force to my right and equal to...
as I've made clear, I'm speaking from ignorance,so i apologise if it sounds foolish. but I'm proposing that the "event horizon would be the focus of the "pressure" not the center.. I'm naturaly drawn to your perspective, but I'm trying to think out of the box. (my "box" is very limited :-)
i posted the following on another thread.. (i don't know how to drive these forums)
if we accept that there is zero gravity at the center of the earth. then this would be true for stars and even black holes.. and if you move from the center, at some point there will be an "event horizon" (for...
if we accept that there is zero gravity at the center of the earth. then this would be true for stars and even black holes.. and if you move from the center, at some point there will be an "event horizon" (for want of a better term) where the gravity is half G. and further, if a cold body such...
i may be in the wrong forum here and I'm sure I'm showing my ignorance. I'm not any kind of physicist,, geo, astro or otherwise.. but I'm curious.. if i weigh one "g" at the surface of the earth.. what would i weigh at the center of the earth?? my little brain is telling me i should weigh zero...
