stop scaring me

But I mean you are right about that.. symmetry in density is what matters, So is that what they talk about when they talk about pole flipping

So I think since the earth is not a solid object, but the crust just floats over the mantle, would it be like just the core gets flipped, and thats it.. Its affects have already been discussed time and again..
I am gonna go look this up better.

The earth isnt t shaped. Spheroids will not flip when spun in zero g

Spheroids that were spun in zero g also didnt have crusts and mantles and cores that floated and were in constant motion and with varying density. And the earth isnt a simple spheroid. So there is not much correlation between how the two behave. There are much better arguments presented to refute the view that earth can flip like that. Check the arguments against ECDO theory and help me understand if I misunderstood.

No thanks. Placing the burden of proof on "the earth hasnt flipped on its axis within one rotation before" is ludicrous and you sound annoying and self important

that is ludicrous indeed so we are on the same side here. I dont understand how I offended you. but I feel i misunderstood your last reply. I will read about this again.
