the plumbob puzzle

Hey All,

        I have been and am still very curious about the plumbob
experiment performed in 1901 in France and at the Calumet
mines in Michigan shortly afterward. Most of my fellow
hollow earthers (or planeters?) have been aware of this subject
for some time if they have studied some of the essentials.
        I just wanted to take this opportunity to apprise all of you
of the trigonometry that is involved. The experiment took place in
two separate mine shafts both at a depth and separation of 4250
feet. A transverse mine tunnel connected the two plumbob sites
so measurements could be taken. What I am doing now is
relaying some of the math but not the solution to the problem. I
am working on a presentation of a possible solution but haven't
finished it yet.
        What is interesting about it is a comparison of what the
distance at the 4250 foot depth between the bobs would be for
both a typical earth where we are currently dwelling on the outside
of the planet and the cellular cosmological view that we are actually
residents inside of a hollow earth. I believe the second viewpoint is
absurd but a comparison of the two geometries would be instructive
to show just how illogical the actual measurements of the plumbobs at
depth would be and that the suspicious nature of this measurement is
that the distance is greater than the 8.22 inches mentioned in most
printings on this subject.
        I will report below on what the actual depth angle and separation

of the bobs would be for the expected result:

circumference of the earth (mean): 3956 miles or 20887680 feet
distance of separation from the top of the two bob cords: 4250 feet
( I am using chord separation instead of basing it on angular
circumference since all tiny angles using the radius * radians method
are roughly equivalent to the value using the law of cosines applying the
same angle)

angle from earth center between the two bobs in degrees

20887680^2 + 20887580^2 - 4250^2 / ( 2 * 20887680 * 20887680 )

= cos of angle which is = to: 0.999999979 which is = to 0.011657966
degrees

Now subtract the length of the plumbob lines from the mean radius of the
earth:

20887680 - 4250 = 20883430 feet

Now I perform the inverse law of cosines to determine the expected
separation
of the plumbobs:

c^2 = 20883430^2 + 20883430^2 - (2 * 20883430 * 20883430 *
cos(0.011657966))

c = 4249.117555 feet

Now I will perform these same calculations except with the assumption of
an inverted earth
where we live inside it:

20887680 + 4250 = 20891930 feet

c'^2 = 20891930^2 + 20891930^2 - (2 * 20891930 * 20891930 *
cos(0.011657966))

c = 4250.88226134 - 4250 = 0.88226134 feet
c' =4250 - 4249.117555 = 0.88244459 feet

adding the two differences together of c and c'
we arrive at 1.76470593 feet or multiplied by 12 we get 21.17647116
inches

So in conclusion, not only are the plumbobs bending in the wrong
direction but the
deviation from what ought to be expected is far greater than an error of
8.22 inches.

I have a way out theory why this is happening and I plan to share it with
everyone
sometime but it involves some rather daunting math to try to substantiate
and is a
rather formidable task.

Scott,

I think that one part of the plum bob problem that hasn't been addressed in
the past is gravity does not extend uniformly throughout the Earth, though
all calculations applied to the plum bob enigma assume that it does and that
the gravity effect is linear.

Anyway, since the force of the electromagnetic, gravity-inducing radiation
diminishes the further down one goes, the gravity charge from the very
surface, as the curvature sloped downward on each side of the plum bobs,
became relatively stronger and a slight sideways attraction entered the
equation, giving the plum bobs an outward tilt- slight.

This is my impression, I'm inviting comments.

Scott,

I am a littles sceptic to things that can only be proven mathematically. It seems to me that math can prove close to anything be it real or unreal, and thus it actually does not prove anything. I hope you can enlighten me on this if you think I am wrong.

First of all I think that to prove anything regarding this puzzle one have to repeat the experiments that was done 100 years ago many times and on many places around the globe to see if is not just a local thing but a global one. I also wonder why this has not been done. I don't consider cover ups unlikely, but? I also want to ask how we can be sure that this experiment is authentic.

Is it possible to describe this theory of yours in a visual way?

I am genuinely intrigued by this plumb bob puzzle, but there is also something with it that make me which that it did not existed. I would appreciate if you could help me out of this dilemma. I will listen as long as it not involve something similar to the mathematical bending of time and space, and dimensions beyond three.
