Russ,
NO! For one thing, centrifugal force would be slightly lesser on
the inside of the
planetary shell owing to the function of less radius. For the outer
surface, that means
at a maximum equatorial circumference the peak rate of centrifugal force
is only 3.38
cm/sec^2. This is only one third of a single percentile of the 980.665
mean surface
drop rate on the surface. The spacecraft being rotated on its axis is
done many hundreds
if not thousands of times a day in those sci flicks you mentioned and the
planet just
doesn't spin fast enough on its axis to produce that much internal
gravity.
If you consider this idea a second and suppose for the sake of
argument that there
was some sense of centrifugally induced gravity sufficient for the
interior of the planet
to attain normal surface gravity for flora and fauna, then in
relationship to that, we on the
exterior would be spinning at an enormous rate which would show up as
incredible
variations in surface gravity between the equator and the poles.
Help this helped,
Scott

I support the HE theory, but there are some things
about it I still do not understand. Like what is up
with this Newtonian Gravity Revised idea? It is
generally assumed that if the Earth were solid (and I
believe its not)then the center of gravity would be
found at the center of the Earth, which modern
geologist belive to be the a core of molten ore and
nickel iron or magma, the vast heat of which is so
intense that it produces the gravitational forces that
pull us downward.
But now that our Earth is hollow, the center of
gravity would be found at the center of the Earth's
shell. Gardner described the earth's crust as 800
miles thick, with gravity acting toward the deepest
part of the shell. In other words, the same gravity
that pulled objects on the outside of the sphere
inward would thrust objects inside the globe outward.
But the fact was brought up that even if our Earth
were hollow (and I belive it is) the center of Gravity
would not be found at the center of the earth's shell.
It is against every law of physics which are almost
impossible to break.
Now I am very open mined to the idea that the center
of gravity might be found at the center of the earth's
shell, but I was wondering if there was something else
that would contribute to the forces and effect of
gravity.
Do you think it is possible that our earth is hollow
without the center of gravity? Could it be that the
simple daily rotation of our planet and its orbit
around the sun, the combined orientation of which
would produce the feeling of normal gravity? (like
those sci-fi space stations that spin around like a
wheel giving the inhabitants inside the craft the
effect of gravity)Does Carter represent a theory to
explain the Gravitational forces?Russ
