additional thought on the plumbob

Dean, Norlan and any other interested parties,

I recently wrote a brief detailing some of my thoughts on the plumbob

experiment and I made mention that some of the things I was stating were

possibly problematic. One of those points was a seeming paradox between

the amount of drop rate in gravitational attraction that the lateral force might

bring to bear and the possible difference in spinal latitudinal centrifugal force

that would be present at a given latitude.

My question was how to determine what acceleration could be attributed

to the lateral force of gravity in the opposite direction from the void of mass

column and adjoining mine shaft. I was pondering how one might test the degree

of lateral acceleration in an empirical sense and came up with an additional idea

how to test this. If we can calculate the exact distance away from each other the

plumbobs should be at depth compared to the surface measurement, then with

this distance being known, someone could artificially move the two bobs to that

position and then release them. One would expect that the bobs would each begin

to sway or accelerate very slowly toward the position they arrive at by themselves

as they were measured in the original experiment. One might then have the

chance to actually measure the exact distance that the plumbobs travel at the end

of the first second after they were released. This measurement could then be

compared to the answer I had derived of about 0.3651 cm/sec^2 to check its

accuracy and if inaccurate could be substituted to become the preferred measurement

of acceleration produced by a falling body towards a body of mass. The rate would

be exactly double the actual measurement because like in surface acceleration drop

rates of 980.665, the initial seconds motion through that time represents the average

of the slope of acceleration which would start at no motion relative to the Earth's

surface at all and its position one second in time after the falling object was released.

I stated no motion relative to the Earth's surface, because there is actually a lateral

motion of constant velocity equal to the spinal centrifugal force for a given latitude

since the Earth is continuously rotating on it geographic axis..

It sounds to me like the plumbob experiment either had
measurement errors or we live on the inside of a curved
planet.
It may be true that you could use inverse mathmatics
to prove that we actually live on the inside of a planet
instead of the outside, but, I think that whole idea is
really getting out there in over-thinking land.

I think the odds are that the effect may be the result
of wire defects, wire uncoiling effect, electrostatic
effect, magnetic effect, or even possibly, missing mass
from the tunnel that joins the two.

A more revealing experiment, I think, would be to have
4 or more of these plumbobs. All in a row east to west.
And then have 4 or more, all in a row, north to south.

I'm sure that would be extremely expensive to setup but
the idea that between each blumbob you wound find a greater
spacing at the bottom then at the top I think would be
highly unlikely.
If it did occur, then there would probably be some
real effect that was not easily, if at all, currently
explainable.
