Which does not exist. Which is your point.


At the equator there is centrifugal force which isn't a factor at the
poles, and there is a land mass under the south pole the north pole
doesn't have. Then there's the thing about the earth actually being an oval.

And then there's the thing about densities of the earths crust. And the
thickness. And the turbulent nature of what lies 40 miles down. What
about 2 miles? 3,4,5,6 miles? It all adds up and just how many decimals
does someone want to carry it out to in order to prove their answer?

You choose your point on the earths surface, mayhaps I'll find another.

It's a black hole argument. That is, it can suck up any answer without
resolution. Unless we involve a geologist who will tell what spot on
earth has the highest gravimetric verses centrifugal force.



These types of threads are masturbatory.
