Nonsense

Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 2008-05-12 12:09.

This is ridiculous. If an object is inside a shell of material, it is NOT accelerated to the outside. The gravitational attraction from the different parts of the shell cancel out and there is NO EFFECT on the internal object. This is physics 101 stuff.

I suppose it should have been obvious from the put-down phrasing in the beginning about "hand wringing" that this proposal would have been nonsense.
