Thanks fb1...
Now that I can liken all of human kind to a legion of automated lego men, i'll be looking over my shoulder everytime the sudden urge to masturbate hits me in public.

Plus you have taken into account distortions of space-time.
Well, it hasn't been proven to be an impossibility, in fact, we know that something already travels at the speed of light... light!
Remember, they used to think that the earth was flat, and that the solar system rotated around the earth. These were proven scientific theories that were later debunked.

another strange thought..
if i drilled a hole in the Earth so deep it came out the other side, and had some way to ignore all the heat that exists in the middle.
What would happen when i jumped in it???
After i get halfway to 'china' i am falling up. Imagine getting stuck in the middle :) with every way up.
I would think that once you are near the centre, the gravity would be so strong all around you, that you would just explode.
... or maybe thats just my twisted mind always thinking about people exploding.

It is possible under existing laws if we're moving away from it... you're only thinking about if we were staying still.

actually, implode. the force would compress you to nothing, collapse you and you would become a mini-mass of carbon :D

Nah... you'd float, experiencing zero gravity.
How could you implode/explode when in any direction there's only half of the thickness of the world? Compare it to the force you feel from the full thickness of the world under you.
With an equal amount of Earth in any direction, you would feel no gravity at all.
 
newton's law of gravitation
F=G x ((m1 x m2)/d^2)
jake, if you knew your gravitational formula, you would know that gravitational force is proportional to mass, and inversely proportional to distance apart squared. now, since distance is measured from the center of gravity, and since your mass is so much smaller than that of the earth, and your center of mass is pretty much congruent with the earth's center of mass, you're fucked. ie. distance squared is on the bottom of the division, and it's almost zero. divide something by zero, and it's undefined, but divide it by something close to zero, and you tend towards infinity. you would be compressed to a very small diamond. actually that's how diamonds are formed, in intense heat and presure near the earth's core. anyway, when was the last time you heard of miners down a shaft experiencing zero gravity. as far as i know, only astronauts, who are further away from the earth's center, experience a lack of gravity. :P
 
To me, from the perspective of being inside the Earth, the centre of mass of the surrounding body is (effectively) a shell around you, around 70.7% of the Earth's radius away from you (way too much calc done to know (2^0.5)/2 off the top of my head:P).
If you're inside the Earts and getting pulled inwards as you claim, what exactly are you getting pulled towards? The air in the hole that was dug sure isn't pulling you in, and you can't be getting pulled towards anything but solid mass, so you must be getting pulled outwards equally on all sides.
Hence no gravity :)
BTW, with the diamonds, the pressure is from the huge weight above, not from increased gravity below.... and mines are only on the surface (from a global perspective) so aren't valid. :)

pffffffffft. as anyone who's done high-school physics will know, mass and force don't act as a shell, but as a concentrated force representing the whole of mass, acting through the center of mass.
:P
 
Then I suggest you start drilling to convince me... ;)
(BTW... following your application of the above theorem, what would be the effect on the atom in the exact middle of a marble in my hand be with a distance value of zero? ;) )

now you are talking atomic physics. that's a whole new (smellier) kettle of fish. that's why there's physics, and there's atomic physics. while there are many analogues between the physics of the large, and the physics of the very small, they are fundamentally different, and you cannot draw any parallels between the two fields.
btw. ewwwwwww, that's not a marble in your hand! take your hands out of your pants!
:D
ps. the reason atomic physics is so different is because of the electromagnetic forces involved. the charge of a particular atom/electron/molecule makes a big difference to the forces involved. also, the infinitessimal mass means gravitational forces are reduced. about the only thing they do have in common is the centripetal/gentrifugal forces.

and it is but with my left foot that i take this brave first step, this triumphant movement towardst total glory, can a reflection be its own image???
am i forever intwined in the eternally fragmenting realities presented before me??
and with all but my inner most fears i walk the path that so many before have walked, and i realise that, yes, there is something in my shoe........ its my foot
for when the oxen can no longer pull the cart of the regurgitating dwarf bean pickers, it will become clear to all, that the journey can only truly begin once it has arrived from whence it began
in knowing that i too am part of the oneness that envelopes the universe as a whole and binds us all together for an infinity which does not exist
i surrender to the almighty power of the divine and infinite joy that exists in the shattered moments of a reality we call time
ooooh that last joint waz a little bit too big i tink!! mmmmmmm im gonna go and melt some marshmallow and put little chocolates inside em!yummy yum!!

All this talk about Physics!!!!
Being a lazy Stoner, I skipped all of it, because it would take to much effort to understand it all.
 
I'll try to be coherent, asked a friend this one yesterday arfter a cone....
Epilepsy.
Do you think that back when they had Black and white televisions they still had epilepsy warnings on video games? (Dont take into account video games probably werent around for black and white tv). Like... consider that without colour, it would just be a mass of rapidly moving imagery. Say a black and white spiral, spinning at incredible speed to bring on the epileptic reaction in the viewer.
If this were in fact true, a similar stimulus could be found by jumping out of an aeroplane on a cloudy day and spinning yourself rapidly as you descened at a frightening pace. The clouds (being mostly black / grey / white [lets try for just a smattering of cumulo-nimbus say]) would represent the colour palette of said television set, and your personal rotation would match the visual spiral displayed to you when viewing the set.
Now, being as people have been skydiving for quite a while, and not experiencing epileptic fits - playing video games on black and white television would probably not require an Epilepsy warning and unable to induce an epileptic fit!! Huzzah!!
