following inverse gravitational square law

That's what the centre of mass method predicts, right?

no?

i just told you

But in reality, if you're there, obviously, your gravity would be less than g

the inverse gravitational law

thats not true

Okay.

Think about it.

You're at the centre of the earth. Inverse square law predicts near infinite force there, correct?

no

Well say 0.0000001 m away from centre of earth

ok

You would have a humongously large force

But

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

You have a duck load of force

Yea

not infinte

or close

Why is the centre of the earth not a singularity then xD
