Maybe you sci.astro.amateur and sci.astro readers can explain this
"Common Man" wrote in message
news.com... Note to the readers of sci.astro.amateur and sci.astro: Pearl is a regular in the alt.animals.ethics.vegetarian newsgroup and claims that the earth could be hollow. She goes on to claim that this could have been caused by a rapidly spinning early earth. I've tried to explain (without success) that such a rapidly spinning body would flatten out rather than become hollow. If any of you wish to take a crack at explaining this to her, feel free. For Pearl: Evidence that a rapidly spinning object would flatten out, not become hollow. See: http://www.govertschilling.nl/artike.../030612_sc.htm It's been pointed out to you by someone else that centrifugal force will cause a spherical body to become oblate, without becoming completely flat. Is this a throwback to your past life as chief honcho of the flat-earth society, 'common man'? |
