Getting the low down on gravity

Another video by ESA regarding the GOCE (Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer) mission.

'The GOCE mission, due to be launched in 2007, is ESA's first satellite dedicated to measuring the Earth's gravity -- a fundamental force of nature that influences many dynamic processes within the Earth's interior, and on and above its surface.

By measuring the Earth's gravity field and modelling the geoid, or hypothetical surface of the Earth, with extremely high accuracy and spatial resolution, GOCE will significantly advance our knowledge of how the Earth works in several domains -- oceanography, geophysics and geodesy -- as well as providing insight into the physics and dynamics of the Earth's interior, such as volcanism and earthquakes.'

Gravity on earth can be proved as an existing force that has an approximate force of .0735 pounds per square inch, per linear mile, or .000,013,920 pounds per square inch, per linear foot, as matter loses weight on ascension. A gravitational force field is inherent of extreme heat that originates from within the planet's plasmatic materials. It exits as an X-gravity factor and returns as gravity.

This phenomena can be observed on a burning candle; heat rises and the melted wax falls.
