My friend had asked me one puzzling and 'paradoxing' question on gravity:
Suppose one were to go really deep underground until he or she is only a few kilometres from the centre of the Earth (provided that he or she wears super antiheat suits). As the point of attraction of gravity is at Earth's center of gravity, you will be attracted by gravity towards the center of the Earth. But should we take into consideration of the huge bulk of mass above the explorer (which is the layers of Earth and magma he or she had climbed through), would the matter have gavity pull on him or her?
