Just wondering

[BB_TX]

The circumference of the earth is about 24,500 miles. With the earth making a complete rotation every 24 hours, that means someone standing on the equator is traveling at over 1,000 miles per hour. So. Due to the effects of centripetal force, would a person weigh less at the equator than at the North Pole?

[DQDick]

Even more important: Would the person at the equator smell better longer due to the increased air flow?

I think we'd weigh 2 to 3% less at the equator

[Rondo]

You guys have had to much turkey and cranberry sauce OR possibly to much eggnog!

[BB_TX]

And if you stand at the North or South Pole, do you get dizzy turning round and round?

[bigskyjimmy]

Man you think to much my man.......RELAX!!!.....or like Rondo said too much of the old the Eggnog or Carlo Rossi on Turkey day join the Club But I do not think THAT deep

[DQDick]

Egg Nog and Southern Comfort mmmmmmmm

[Bigboomer]

Prefer Patron Silver.....

[Recumbent]

You would weigh a tiny bit less but still be the same size in mass, and feel much warmer at the equator whether you had consumed Carlo Rossi, Southern Comfort, or Patron Silver.

[mlh]

And at 1000 MPH you will age slower just like Enstine predicted. Time also slows down on the top of a mountain. We live on a hill. Wonder how much that helps??

So if we lived on top of a mountain at the equator, time would slow down, we would weigh less, and live longer. What's not to like about that?

My little brain can go off on crazy tangents without stimulants of any brand.

That could be true for many of us but a little stimulation never hurts and only enhances the experience!
