Ease of understanding

This article doesn't really explain the nature or cause of gravity anomalies to the layperson. Is there any chance of a simplified paragraph or two to rectify this?jamie (talk) 18:14, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to write the same thing. Frunobulax (talk) 23:50, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It also doesn't clarify why it is that someone would want to "reduce" the observed values, or discuss applications in which users are interested in the actual variation of the force of gravity over the surface of the planet. Now that many people are carrying around accelerometers in their pockets and can directly measure that force, they'll be interested in knowing if their cell phone can actually detect the difference between the force in e.g. a mountain and a valley. --NealMcB (talk) 04:29, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
