- The center of the Earth is at very high pressure. It is trur that the
- value of g(r) at r=0 is 0. But the pressure at the center is just the
- weight of the molecules at r>0 per unit area. Molecules for all r>0
- ARE attracted to the center --- g(r)/=0 for r>0 --- thus there is a
- transmitted force toward the center and hence a very high pressure at
- the center. Jim Green
