You have equal mass in any direction from you.
See what I mean?
The centre of mass model is good if, well, we consider masses to be point masses.
But not so otherwise.
Because if I cut the earth into two, and stand in the middle, then they would exert equal and opposite force on me
Because they have centres of masses in at different locations
Which contradicts the prediction made by considering solely the centre of the earth
They would now be two different objects. their gravity would be reliant on the mass of each half. It would not be equal as each half of the earth is not equal
Which is I would have a massive force on me, and the immediate moment I cross the centre, that massive force inverts in direction.
Yea
Do you genuinely believe this
That in the dead centre of the earth, I have infinite force
so for a split second you would feel the force decrease to 0 as you have an opposite and equal force applying pushing you into an equilibrium
no
because
Yes,
But
that implies an infinite mass
On the two sides
which is doesnt have
Yea
not infinte
or close
Why is the centre of the earth not a singularity then xD
If it has so much force
because it doesnt have infinite mass
Well no
why cant you get your head around this
But the distance is tiny
the distance will increase
but
only to the extent of gravity
the centre of gravity is only where the gravity is in effect
Okay.
I will now present to you a Wikipedia page.
And
i want to correct myself
Is there not commands?
Gravity does decrease downwards
Or this
