So I was in the shower today...

[SJ Zero]

And if you don't understand, I recommend taking a physics class or at least reading a book. Glenn isn't the only person around here with university-level physics under his belt, and watching your weekend warrior attempts against people who are also applied or theoretical physicists is painful.

Another one trying to turn this into a credential contest. That's what, 3 now? Don't make me laugh.

No, don't make ME laugh. I'm getting sick and tired of your buffoonery. You aren't a kid anymore, you should learn to accept that some of us have grown out of pretending to be Steven Hawking, who can visualize physics, and gone on to practice applied physics.

"It is then alarming to me that people have assumed that the core of the earth is a superhot heavy solid. Would it not be more logical to predict that it would be a super COLD light GAS instead? That would make all that magma above it actually make a lot more sense..."

Is this not what you said?



If your calculus is rusty, I'll work out the numbers for you, but the fact of the matter is that the same massive forces which are responsible for the fusion in the sun, and the creation of black holes implies that you shouldn't have to.

This is why people pull credentials -- because you have to have a minimum level of knowledge not to be just another weekend warrior who thinks that because they can visual ize something, the mathematics has to back them up on it.

(For the record, my calculus equations my be imperfect, but they get the point across -- the entire force of each "particle" of the earth will be pointing with a more or less "downward" position, and that force is concentrated upon the "zero point" at the center of the earth which is the molten core.

Also, FCenter integrates from 0 to R, and pCenter integrates from 0 to 2pi or 0 to 360, depending on your measurement sytem.

You're the one trying to say that the currently accepted theories are wrong. Many people who actually can prove to have the knowledge they claim to have disagree with you. Furthermore, you're complaining at the lack of a Glenn who knows physics to come to your "rescue". So either put up or shut up. Stop trying to play your fancy religious emotional games with the laws of physics, and either show us something that actually indicates that you know the first thing about what you're talking about, or stop laughing at people pointing out that you should relent to the people who actually have some measure of training.

Just in case you haven't figured it out, it doesn't MATTER that there's no gravity in the center, because the energy doesn't come from the gravity THERE, but from the gravity ABOVE, which is pulling the earth towards itself due to the large mass on the other side of the planet.
