From: Rick Smith <rsmith@lightspeed.ca> That seemed weird to me, so I was asking, (in YOUR physics) wouldn't the gravity go to zero as you got half way thru the shell?
Rick,I see. Picture it this way. In normal earth there is a center point for gravity. We will call it zero. It has no width or height, a point.
Now we enter the realm of fiction.
The anti-grav device/effect enters inside this point. The point is
expanded to a shell 24,000 km in radius. Ouside gravity attracts to the
surface of the shell. Inside gravity attacts upwards to the shell. The
shell is a field of gravity that exists without the requisite matter.
Matter attracted to it will build up something shaped like a hollow earth.
Watching the acretion of dust particles on this feild is facinating.
But build up a hollow earth it does. The field is quite strong when one
gets right next to the shell. One would feel it profoundly on a trip
through to the inside.
If not allowed to accelerate unimpeded through a clear tunnel one would
probably be crushed against the rock. A tunnel all the way through would
allow one to jump down and pop out the other side safely though. Albeit the
landing would be a huge problem.
In conclusion the gravity corona has geometry, occupies space. and has become a feild unto itself. It exists without matter, but will attract matter. In addition the entire corona may orbit a star or planet just like any other body in the system.
