Default Re: OT: Ceres more interesting than previously tho

What the heck are you talking about? Where did 1G come in?

And WTF is "natural spin"? There is absolutely no preferred spin direction around here in the universe.

Adding too much mass would obviously cause Ceres to spin down too quickly and the weakened gravity well would essentially force Ceres apart.
No way.
More mass -> more gravity.
Slower spin -> less centrifugal force.
Which means objects on the surface feel even more force downwards.
The rate of mass change is completely irrelevant.

This is grade nine or lower physics here.
Please, look up ANGULAR MOMENTUM.
