As seen by a supersensitive gravity-detecting satellite, Earth isn’t a pale blue dot. It’s a colorful, irregular lump. Kind of like a tuber.
“Rotating potato — I don’t like this word,” said Roland Pail, a geoscientist at the Technical University of Munich. He and other researchers unveiled the new map of the Earth’s gravity field on March 31 at a scientific workshop in Munich.
Yet a rainbow potato it is. This image represents a sort of theoretical sea level known as the “geoid” — a surface where the ocean would rest if not pushed around by internal currents, tides and the weather.
Gravity varies from place to place because of many factors, such as the presence of mountain ranges, the bulge around Earth’s equator, and the moon’s gravitational influence. The new snapshot comes from the European Space Agency’s GOCE satellite, launched in 2009 to map the geoid. GOCE dances along at the top of the atmosphere, using six special accelerometers to measure, many times a second, how the Earth’s gravity tugs on the spacecraft.
A highly accurate gravity map will allow researchers to fine-tune their understanding of ocean currents, sea level height, ice caps and other changing parts of the planet.

Rotating potato or insight into the planet’s deepest secrets? This new map of the Earth’s gravity field, gathered by the European GOCE satellite, shows how, in regions such as Iceland and Indonesia, the planet's internal structure creates large gravitational deviations (yellow and red) from the average.

As for Indonesia, the massive gravitational warp is NW to SE from the Atlantic submerged high gravity area. And China has its own set of pyramids.
What happens to individuals subjected to a massive electromagnetic field? Maybe that part of our brains we aren't using comes into play. As you see, it is not the absence, that is a misdirection, it is the application that is interesting. Especially since gravity is seen as an aspect not a force itself which means that some unknown condition brings the force of gravity and of course its opposite ( ph scale from 1 - 10 ) in being.
Well... we'll see. Predictions happen first predicted and then ... after a while for assimilation... they occur.
This is a big quwstion too... if something goes wrong, dealing with the magnet and all energetic balanced waves ... we may as well destroy our fades...
Anything that evolves with evolutions leave traces from the old to the new... we're the new...
" Secret of mass" states all mass is life and indowed with gravity , it appears to unite gravity with T.O.E. Theory of everything , defined below.
Secret of mass
So what's the secret of mass?
Man has been studying mass since archimedes, so what is mass?
Science teaches mass is everything around us the mountains the oceans the air we breathe the trees in the forest the fish in the sea.
I would like to introduce you to a driffent way to look at mass.
Science has traditionally looked at mass as stuff all the things you can see and touch.
Science has been content calling it mass and stuff and they have gotten results with this method, They discovered the elements and made the element table.
They discovered molecules and they discovered the atom, and then science went quantum into the subatomic, the world of Lepton, Quarks and Bosons forces, what are they looking for you ask?
They are looking for the elusive gravity particle.
I believe the reason they can't find gravity is because of the way they look at mass.
Science has tried to unite gravity with mysterious higgs field since the seventies , and T.O.E. The Theory Of Everything , The electromagnetic and the electronuclear strong and weak force, NOTE: It appears secret of mass unites gravity with TOE !
Their next hope is string theory and super string theory, which will be untestable for a long time to come, is this really where science wants to spend the next 100 years?
Where did science go wrong?
We are taught mass is everything we see, the stuff our world and universe is made of.
Scientists have said we are made of the same thing the universe is made of, Stardust.
Scientists treat mass as an inanimate object, a particle to be smashed at will, the problem is rutherford, newton or Einstein never answered the most important question regarding mass.
What is mass? Is mass an inanimate object? Why does this matter?
Q. What is mass, well let's look at the universe, suns, planets, earth, mountains, trees, man, dogs, cats, mice, ants and bacteria.
Q. What do they all have in common? Mass, Gravity and Atoms.
So if the atoms and gravity are the common denominator then the question becomes what is the atom?, Is it an inanimate object, let's see .
Oxford dictionary defines , Atomic structure as : Structure of an atom being positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively "Orbiting" electrons.
Oxford dictionary defines , Life as : Energy, Liveliness , animation.
As you can see for your self the atom fits the definition for life and is an animate object!
So am I to conclude an atom is life? Yes to be exact an atom is the fundamental building block for all life in the universe and right here on earth!
There is no such thing as an inanimate object, all mass has life!
Atoms make up molecules, molecules make up elements and elements make up everything else everywhere else!
So if mass contains an atom it contains life.
So if all mass contains life , and all mass contains gravity , Then the rational conclusion is all life contains gravity.
So the origins of gravity is life.
The gravity disappears at the subatomic level, so where does it go?
It's not hiding in the subatomic particles as CERN and L.H.C. Large Hadron Collider has proven.
So where did gravity go?
It went in the same direction with life. So gravity is a manifestation of life. WOW!

An atom is life and endowed with gravity!

Just wondering.... thx.
Reading the comments above I get somewhat the same feeling about logging onto this web-sit.
?
I understand gravity to be “a change in state of any particle excited".
This applies to the very small or very large.
To understand why I think this way I would recommend this 500 word blog on a strange
but very common daily phenomenon. Gravity and a flying paradox. bit.ly/n4j6om.
Nature has most of big questions answered. It’s the details we need to fill in.
This picture doesn't make a point..
what's the standard deviation depending on the average (1g = 9,81 m/s²) in percent of the gravity?
so if you look at the internet you get an gravity at the north pole of 9.83 m/s² and on the equator the gravity is about 9.79 m/s²... So we get an maximum deviation of 0.02 m/s²...
=> we get a difference from the average of about 0.2% (0.02/9,81) (in this picture the gravity maximums are exorbitant high shown)
Conclusion: a scale is absolutely necessary!!!
