Quote:Actually, the closer you get to the center of a mass, the higher the gravitational attraction is.True, as you get closer to a mass, but, if you go into that mass, the mass below you would grow less, and so would it's pull of gravity, no? Thus like Agamemnus is thinking, once you hit the center, the remaining mass has lil to no pull, at least towards the center.. There would still be gravity, but pulling slightly outward toward the mass of the Earth surrounding the center....
Course I could be way off, but if you think about it, each atom has it's own gravitational pull in a spherical dirction... It focuses into a larger sphere only as the atoms come together to make larger objects.... So in the center of the Earth, you would get reversed gravity, which would seem like 0 gravity, but it's technicaly still there....
Pull: towards ( <-- away (dead center) away ) <-- towards
Though, I agree with the imposibility of true 0 gravity.. cause like I said before, each atom has it's own gravity, if I remember right.... so where ever a mass is, you will always have some form of gravity....
