None

Sure, why not? Imagine the base required such a massive skyscraper How much luck with your imagination

I doubt very much, and even if you could what would be the point? No one could breathe.

NO, The higher you go, the more force is applied to the base

It is possible, but remember that the higher a builing, the greater the tendency to start tipping.

And even if it is built, what will be the point since ppl wont be able to live there?

It’s unlikely. Most materials like steel will fail in compression of their own weight (not the weight of floors and walls, etc.) as the building is too high. Maybe a steel “mountain” would not fail in compression, but the weight would actually push the crust present store now. Obviously a very strange skyscraper light material filled with helium can scrape the sky, but it would have little or no buoyancy on the edge of the atmosphere.

The building would have a net weight (weight minus buoyancy) of about 14.7 pounds per square inch, the atmospheric pressure is available to support the building.

I will answer this question with a little future twist. Eerst I would direct your attention to the idea of ​​a spaceship ketting. In essentially a long cable with a weight on one side tend to langwerpig. Nu suppose you have a rope with a weight on one side and you turn in a circle, then the rope taunt. Now if you slow down the rope high enough collaspes. Een tower will have the same effect.

At one point, the attraction will be offset by the centripetal force (due to the rotation of the earth, 4PiMr/dt ^ 2, where dt is 24 hours (change it to seconds), r is the distance from the center of the Earth, Pi is approximately 3.14, so the farther you go the more force is needed 24 hours to dt). However, the strength of the material needed to get to that length is not conventional bestaan. Echter carbon nanotubes could provide the power of such a tower build.

And I am convinced that at some point of the material will bestaan. Hoop this helps

We share the same dream ..

And nobody understands us

I would think it would collapse under its own weight before you finish.
