For computational purposes we will assume a diameter of the earth of =
24,000
miles with the resultant velocity of 1000 MPH or 1600 KPH. We are on =
the
equator. We have a small pad on the ground exactly at sea level that =

the ability to neutralize the gravity of an object instantaneously, in 0
time. We have three spheres of 1 meter each. One is pure iron, one is =
pure
copper, and one is pure silicon. Other than the weight difference, one =
is
magnetically and electrically conductive, one is electrically but not
magnetically conductive, and one is neither.

The neutralization does just that, it does nothing but render the =
spheres
absolutely neutral insofar as gravitional attraction, but retains all =
other
properties of the respective materials. In relation to the point where =
it
was neutralized, can anyone predict what each sphere would do after it =
was
neutralized and considering all other physical forces and energies which =
it
would be subject to other than gravity?
