So I was in the shower today...

[Agamemnus]

there is still a massive amount of matter being pulling towards the center, thus creating pressure.

It's not being pulled towards the center. It's being pulled towards somewhere outside the center, but not in the center.

Wrong. It is being pulled towards the center, but it is being pulled by matter outside the center, as my post stated.

OK, well, it might be pulled towards the center by gravity, but some other forces could be stronger than the relatively smaller force of gravity in the center than this pulling is offset by something else... like magnetism.

Just because everything is moving towards the center doesn't mean there is more pressure at the center than anywhere else

Yes it does. Tons and tons of matter is constantly moving towards the center. It doesn't have to move fast to create more pressure: it's the weight and not the speed. Lay down and have someone softly lay an anvil on your chest. Are you not going to feel its pressure pushing down on you?

Weight is determined by mass multiplied by force of gravity, not mass alone. If you lay an anvil on me in space, I won't feel any pressure, because there is almost no gravity.


ANARKY:

Pressure in this sense is CAUSED by gravity. You may notice that vibrations don't tend to pass through liquids very well,. as the liquid absorbs it. Very dense solids of such size/mass as the core probably wouldn't vibrate either. Why not go watch "The Core" again and tell me how accurate you think it is. The outer core may not be dense, but more like a vapour of superheated gases eminating from the core due to possible fusion/fission reactions. So why doesn't the mantle and crust fall into the centre through the vapour? Perhaos it is at a very slow rate? My theory is that the outer layers of the earth are in ORBIT around the inner core, with a buffer of superheated gas vapour between them.

The movement causes a centrifugeal force upon the outsides of the planet. Well, why aren't we being thrown off at 1000km/h? Gravity. Stop the earth spinning and you lose the centrifuge... gravity seems that much stronger.

I wonder if astrophysicists have accounted for this too?

Well I think maybe if you have some other force, like magnetism, it could counteract gravity, which is of course on a unit by unit basis much weaker. You could have a ring of metallic rock around the gas. The metal would be itself around the plasma that volcanoes feed into.

There could be several orbits as scientists say that they think the flow of plasma rotates differently than the rest of the earth, and perhaps the metal rotates in a different direction/speed too.
