Quote:Given it is big enough, let's say the size of Earth, gravity would actually be centered all along the "crust" instead of in the center. Anything originating in the center of the sphere "falls" down to the crust. Clearly you can only use individual particles, instead of the entire mass, to explain this behavior ...Yeah, that was basicaly what I was trying to explian.. If there is no mass there (and it would have to lack it if you could posision something there), then gravity can't draw anything into the center... The only remaining gravity is drawn by the outer shell given in your example... though, if the draw is equal in all directions, it might simulate a weigthless environment....
