IDEA: Population Fulcrum of the World
« on: September 24, 2009, 09:42 PM »
I'm not sure I got this right but Qaddafi I think proposed that Libya be the site of the UN, since it's closer to the population center of the World.  Well maybe this should be calculated although I'm sure its been done many times.  I'm not sure how to do it best, but if you use the populations of the countries of the world as they are today and then start with the capitol Libya as the target and weight the distances from the Libyan capitol according to the population and then add all these weighed distances togethor.  You could then do that for all the capitols of the world....Obviously there's better ways to do this but that's what I could think of...
