Again, what would that have to do with your claim that people at the top of an 8,000 mile high building on the equator would be at or above the elevation needed (22,236 miles) for microgravity/weightlessness/freefall in a stationary building?: "I suspect that you would find a region somewhere between the roof and the basement where gravity and centrifugal force cancel each other out and you reach a state of equilibrium- for all intent and purposes, weightless"
