   I do not know if this is an existing theory, I   
   only came up with it today, so please bear with   
   my ignorance. Consider the moon (since its diameter   
   is so much smaller than the Earth's and its gravity   
   is so much less). Lets say we were (hypothetically)   
   to send a drilling team up there and drill from   
   surface to the core. What would the gravitational   
   effect 1 inch from the center or even at the center?   
   In essence, what anomoly might we find period?   
      
   The big bang theory postulates the matter came into   
   being from a single point in space and is forever ex-   
   panding. I am unaware of any measurements   
   to prove that the gaps between stars are increasing.   
   Perhaps someone can help me with that one. Barring that,   
   imagine that a singular event was not the case for matter   
   in the universe, but rather many rips in the time/space   
   continuum, created perhaps by a vorti powered by some   
   unbeknownst celestial event in an alternate dimension.   
   Following this, logic, perhaps many of these events occured   
   and continue to occur (black hole?). It could be postulated   
   that many of the planets surrounding a star were chunks of   
   it flung off during its birth, dragging with it a remanant of   
   that rip in space fabric. Or the planets could be results of   
   their own births, traveling in close enough proximity to a   
   nearby star to get caught in its gavitaitional pull.   
      
   So, Perhaps what we would find at the center of the moon would be   
   space/time rip, in which case, anything not solid enough to   
   resist destruction might be sucked into an altenate dimension   
   with super-pressure. Thus, what we experience as gravity would   
   be the force of a space time rip trying to close itself.
