Shell theorem => Inside the earth the gravitationali field varies linearly away from the center.
It is indeed zero at the center, but at the center, this is the pressure of all the rest of the matter that should worry you instead of the direct gravitational effect
since the rest of the matter wants to join you at the center

Yes, exactly, and this is even worse than that.
I am close enough to your style except I do not only buy used games
I mostly buy (ebay etc.) used games or the games when they are old enough and they are re-released as 'platinum'
But I also sometimes get a gift, and somtimes I will just want that game right now and buy it new at full price
I am fairly certain many people are like that
To me, this means I do not buy the console at all, so here are the lost sales

Everything, that is, every event has event horizons.
Near enough of a blackhole, the events horizons will be bent in such a way that all possible futures of any event will be closer to the blackhole center no matter how, it is therefore impossible to escape the blackhole past a certain limit which is 'the' event horizon of the blackhole.

What the hell is wrong with you people ? (sorry nothing against you personally, but I'm seeing too many posts like this one)
I would pay for this !!
I am unfortunately probably not good enough for a start, and then, children, house to pay, ...
But 15 years ago, I can't imagine I wouldn't have tried very hard to get such an opportunity
I'd be right there with my paper saying

Will do it for food (*)


(*) food is negotiable


Also, what is it with all those posts somehow diminishing Stephen Hawking's value / intellectual might ? is this brain envy ? sheeesh..
