I feel like I’ve thought about this my entire life and can never wrap my head around it.
****On a merry go round the further you get from center the more centrifugal force you feel and consequently the more centripetal force (they are equal and opposite if you are at equilibrium). But at the center they are both net zero.
****On earth, presumably the equator would exert the maximum centripetal force due to it being the furthest away from the axis. The centripetal force keeping you on the ground is gravity and that equals your centrifugal force trying to fling you off earth.
****But at the poles, how….. and why….. where tf did gravity go? There’s no centrifugal force which means there’s no equal and opposite centripetal force (gravity).
Well, once you come to the realization that gravity is still a theory (theoretically, gravitons are what bestows the force) you can understand how absurd it is as an explanation for its effects.
For one, the formula for gravity and electricity both carry the same exact formula whereby charge is substituted for mass. The problem is that the force is 10e39 times weaker than electricity.
The electric universe theory hypothesizes that gravity is misunderstood dipole interaction caused by off-centered nuclei. En masse, these slight offsets create the illusion of a separate force.
Ah yes I know the formula. I remember sitting in electrical engineering prereq classes asking the professor if they understood the similarities in the two equations. Thanks for the reminder I have practiced much EE recently. But that’s something I’m gonna rabbit hole.
