An ice ball the size of Jupiter dotted with small little flat earths would have a surface gravity of at least 19m/s², about double the measured gravity of Earth. The real value would likely be higher, as surface ice compresses the ice below it.
Otherwise a very based theory, can't think of anything else wrong with it
(Possibly hollow)
I would like to throw in the possibility, that the ball could accelerate downwards relative to the habitable part.
so you're saying the theory remains undisproven? woa... O_o
Unless science got the gravitational constant wrong due to assuming the earth is small.
Could use more elephants and turtles
The gravitational constant is famously hard to measure, so I can get behind this.
