I've never had a trader offer me something before...
Chain them to the roof of your fort. Cut fort out of the mountain. See if fort flies. If not, summary execution for each of the worthless beasts... right after repopulation and rebuilding.
Gravity does not work that way. There is not some point at the center of the Earth where the gravity is rediating. Every piece of matter emits gravity. It is the collective force of all the matter on the planet pulling us down. So the farther you get to the center, the more of that mass is behind you pulling at you. Thus at the center of the Earth you would be in a state of weightlessness due to gravitational forces canceling out.i thought gravity decreases as you get closer to the center of the earth, just like in that one cartoon (ya know, the one with Buster and Babs and all the loony toons ripoffs)
Gravity would increase.... It's similair to heat radiating from a fire. It doesn't make sense to be burned from standing 20 ft. away, but be freezing while standing in the fire.
And I think you would get crushed from the weight of all the air above you long before you die of starvation or thirst.
