Lord Turkey Cough (or somebody else of the same name) wrote thusly in message : the earth isn't perfectly spherical but bulges out at the equator. It bulges at the centre because it is spinning That's the other point of view. You can either invoke "centrifugal" force on a spinning earth or gravitomagnetism from a spinning cosmos - the effect on the shape of the earth is the same either way. What you can't do is invoke both. It bulges at the centre because it ate all the pies, either that or it's because you're watching it on widescreen tv -- bof at bof dot me dot uk |
