It would not grow, if by grow you mean increase in volume. It would not decrease in density. If the earth was just made of water, gravity would...
I could not follow Wellwisher's logic as well. If you are interested in a more detailed description of the big bang shock wave in a positively...
Not quite. The earth at its normal rotation rate is not spinning nearly fast enough to reduce the amount of force due to gravity on anything lying...
I am assuming for arguments sake you start from a position on the equator. Once the earth and you on its surface have reached a critical speed, you...
Assuming no atmosphere and a perfectly spherical earth, you would be in orbit right at the earth's surface. Not sure what point you are trying to...
I assume you want me to assume there is no atmosphere and that the earth is not spinning... If the earth expanded slowly, when the radii of the...
Follow your first two sentences. But from there I find it hard to follow your thinking....
I don't believe so. Theoretically, the spin could support such a planet at the equator. However, what would support the planet in the polar...
Can you try and explain this in different words or more explicit sentences. I am not following you.
I would like to get some clarity on what you are trying to say here in your last paragraph quoted above. I don't understand your first sentence of...
In the model incorporating a shock wave in a positively curved universe in which the compression wave carries 2/3rd the mass of the universe, all...
Einstein's most notable thought experiment lead to his equivalence principle, where he compared the force caused by Newton's gravitation to an...
Not really. Can you explain this a little further?
The sun's gravity still acts on the loose objects keeping them in orbit around the sun.
Yes, and therefore objects at the poles would remain in the same orbit they were in before gravity ceased.
Sorry I answered without realizing that the earth's speed around the sun is upwards of 66,000 mph. The relatively slow speed of objects being flung...
Objects in areas between the adjacent and opposite sides of the earth to the sun would be flung into more and more highly eccentric orbits as they...
If somehow you could turn off gravity, any loose item on the earths surface would start to float upwards. Slowly at first as objects would be...
This may be so, but bear in mind that a big bang shock wave would actually be a point in a finite positively curved universe, a mother of all black...
Good point. I have not considered all aspects of the theory and the resistance required to create the compression wave may be one of them. I am a...
