Conspiracy theories...

The centre of mass of the Earth's surface is going to be dependant on where you start measuring from, how deep you measure, and how far the tectonic plates have moved in the last x number of years. Regarding it's height, with the capstone the numbers don't add up, and without them they don't either. My link was just to explain the term, if you look at the article for the Great Pyramid itself it gives measurement details and references there.

from; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_inch It seems to be no more real than numerology, see in that article how they mention that the height of the pyramid was miscalculated and the recalculation messed up their assumptions.
I'm assuming the "centre of mass" was calculated from a 2D-area perspective. Given that the earth is roughly a sphere, there would be no relaible three-dimensional centre of mass, at least not on the surface. The 3D CoM would clearly be at, or close to, the centre of the earth.
As for tectonic plate momvement, 5000 years is a flash in geological terms. Tectonic plates have not shifted significantly since then, and certainly you would expect the 2D centre of mass to move at a much slower rate than the fastest moving of the plates (which move at a couple of centimeters per year).
Nope
In fact the first thing I did was question the accuracy of the claim.We're arguing purely on hypotheticals
Isn't it great?!I was actually trying to say I don't think the question really makes sense, as Duff Man said the actual CoG for the Earth is a fairly long way down, and trying to flatten out the surface and measure the CoG of it as a plane will obviously depend on where you put the edges of the plane and how deep you go (affects the effective mass at the surface).
Yep it's effectively the same reason, the difference being everything was illuminated by the sun and not a flash.
Cheers, it was a canon MPE-65 macro lens.
Actually the claim is for the centre of the land, not to be confused with the centre of the Earth!!!
For the pyramid example the centre of the land is defined as where the longest lines of latitudinal and longitudinal land cross (i.e. the lines with the most land on them). This would obviously be a point on the surface of the Earth, and according to the 2 sites I checked this is indeed at the point of the Great pyramid. They could just be repeating the same old rubbish though/someone was bound to build something there at some point!
There aren't any up there there is a reflector (well a whole bunch of em now)

ok if man didn't walk on the moon how did they get up there, as i don't think a robot has the accuracy to place them in a specific location
before you wander i know that Neil and buzz did walk on the moon, this is just 1 of the comebacks i have to people that say it was all staged

The reflectors are designed so that any light that hits them is reflected along the same path that it hit. I don't think they would necessarily need to be placed in a specific location to work, it's just that NASA would need to spend a little time hunting for it. So technically NASA could have sent an unmanned spacecraft to the moon with one of those little buggies in, programmed it to land safely and have the buggy drive out onto the moon to a location that could be seen...
One problem is that to do all of that would be much harder then just sending people to the moon I imagine, especially when we're talking about all those years ago!

one of them is mounted on a robot....

I understood that they meant the centre in a planar fashion, but I didn't know the details of how this is claimed, so there is more land mass on the longitudes and latitudes that go through the point where the pyramid is built? Looking at a globe I'm not convinced that's true, and even if it is, that's a bloody weird way of determining the centre point.
I don't care enough to work it out myself but I did find an old map thing that supposedly shows it. Hardly an unbiased source though

I think many people fail to realise the huge importance of the pyramid structure of power we have in place in these governmental organisations. If you think through it carefully, to inact a certain agenda only the top few people need to know the the underlying truth and everyone else below will have knowledge only on a need-to-know basis. Most of workers in the lower echelons will only need to know the specifics of their particular task, which in a compartmental system will mostly have seemingly very little to do with the underlying agenda.
The trouble with conspiracy theories is the amount of obvious rubbish and how people managed to form so many links, however if you look at certain things on their own it seems bad enough, for instance watch this short (30 sec) video where bush and kerry admit to being in a secret society, no not one guy running for president but two are in da club and what a nice name it has too!
There's a few 'clubs' like that where people of high positions in government and business can join, they even go on big days out together sometimes and get up to questionable stuff, though its ok im sure because its all just a bit of harmless fun!

So whats your thoughts on this this?
Oh please and your telling me that the Fed wouldn't tell the government to push an issue through to benefit them or there benefactors, otherwise they'll call in all debts?
I should get a grip?
EDIT: Oh and if you find the fact that a privately owned company is funding the entire american government normal, then you need a reality check mate.

Funny how no professional economists, e.g. private contractors, university professors, etc. see any problem with this, isn't it? I guess they must all be in on it too.
If it's so blindingly obvious how we're all being had by this invisible power then why is it just the odd conspiracy theorist here and there who realises? Why isn't everyone up in arms about it? (Answer: it's all the product of paranoid, anti-establishment minds.)
