off topic (or) You're kidding -- right?

Pressure comes from gravity.
Without it there is none.
As you go towards the core, there pressure due to gravity
becomes less as it is more and more balanced by [mass]
accumulating "behind it, or towards the surface"

Why, then, does pressure not decrease
the deeper one descends into the sea? ig

From: E. Charters
... [conundrum here] between [to] sink, and pressure,
which are two somewhat different concepts,
although sinking is caused by gravity...
and pressure is caused also by gravity.
... [at] certain depths [not] enough "unidirectional" gravity
[to] penetrate the turgidity caused by the pressure.
... equigravitational attraction but lower gravitational pull
towards the centre per se than at the surface.
... [gravity] mass and the square root of [distance]
... cannot be modeled as an electromagnetic field can,
within the mass, by mean value theorem.
... [field effect] accumulation of mass [perforce] is distributed.
... gravity field [at] centre [need] to increase its value greatly
[to] model its effect at the surface of its mass "generator".

(or) "His Divine Shadow"
Stanley Tweedle and escaped "love-slave" Zev returned
to the ruins of Cluster in the Light universe to search
for protoblood for the undead assassin Kai.
The infamous scientist Mantrid created an Earth like world,
but since it was a copy from the Dark universe to Light,
all human life forms were lost in the transfer,
and certain irregularities encountered,
of which we can use, as follows.
A hole was created that started in China,
went directly through the center of mass of this planet,
and up pop'ed as a hole in Wichita, Kansas
by chance at their famous Bronx Zoo
by chance in the elephant pen
by chance under elephant taking a number 2
soooooo
this 100 pound dung fell into hole through center of Earth
and as it fell down this hole of only air
its velocity was limited to equal a number
such that the pull of gravity
equaled
the opposite resistance of pushing into an air at rest
but wait not we need do
as lower the dung went down towards center of Earth
it's weight on bathroom scale decreased
as at surface at location Wichita, Kansas
it was 100 pounds
and now miles lower into Earth, it's weight is 99 pounds
bBut Wait
the air is less dense
or, less resistance
so, lets assume that max velocity reached
when acceleration was prevented
is 100 mph
a guess since i never knew what speed that geologist
who fell out of hello-copper Bre-X style
reached as he reached Earth
but ok, the turd as it reached 1 mile above Earth's center
100 mph
air almost a vacuum
turd weight about 1 gram
annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd
zoom pass center at 100 mph
going going
towards that China hole
but never reaches it since some energy gone into heat
so, it stops at about 1 mile below China's hole
and
NOT round and round we go
but, back & forth
down & up & down
until years later
at rest, the turd
and now
the elephant craps a new
after it was frozen in time for these years
and yes
splat!
at Earth's center
100 mph turd of zero weight hits at rest
a turd of same mass
or
new game
and lets fast forward 1,000 years
so we have at Earth's center
at rest now, no motion
500 elephant dungs each
Wichita, Kansas side
and China's side
with each side total bathroom scale about .003 grams
like if you were at Earth's center
being under water with pressure .003 grams force on all of you
- keep mouth wide shut
so,
lets move very fast forward a zillion years
and a zillion dungs have fallen
and now elephant's long life eneded
and then after a while, silence
no more splats
no more movemints
and from top of both holes
to center
all elephant dung
and you is at center
knowing
first mile up weight is 1 gram
next mile up, 2 grams
... that dung peice 100 miles up weight is 1 pound
and finally the dung at surface, 100 pounds
so add them all up
and get i have no idea.
Pressure at Earth's center.
or
Life at Earth's Center
or
Be careful what you wish for
or hope to be,
as The Center of the Universe
