At what point will gravity equalize and attract the opposite direction? Think about it you that claim to be scientific minded. james h. Why else would you weigh the same on the poles as you do on the equator? Thinner earth on the poles as a result of centrifugal force of spinning.

If you see a hollow earth somewhere, let the geologists know. They could save a pile of money. In theory, a person at the center of the earth would be in equilibrium, as the mass one way equals that the other. There are local differences in the force of gravity; and the earth is not exactly spherical due to centrifugal force. It would be oval, however Antartica and its ice-cap are not balanced by the Arctic regions, so there is some distortion in shape.
