So why not just use multiple cables? After all, if there were ten elevators, it would decrease wobbling and make it so you needed materials only 1/10th the strength of a single elevator system, and if necessary, they could use half of the elevators to hold thrusters and half to operate as space elevators.

Where's Ben Franklin when we need him? The ionosphere and space beyond is an electrically charged environment that is in continual interaction with the planet. A space elevator may turn out to be the most expensive lightning rod ever attempted! Read this article for detailed background:

"The continual cosmic discharge, which powers the storms on Earth, must be considered when placing long conductors radially to the Earth. Some years ago, the tethered satellite experiment suffered a plasma discharge that severed the tether cable as it was being reeled out from the space shuttle. That phenomenon will be repeated on a grand scale in any attempt to stretch a conducting elevator cable from Earth into space. The power that drives regional thunderstorms will be concentrated into a single cataclysmic thunderbolt, destroying the elevator cable like a thin fuse wire. In the worst scenario, the 50km high ground station will be replaced by a neat, circular crater, like those seen elsewhere in the solar system and attributed, erroneously, to meteoric impacts."

We always knew this was a bogus thing.

I would pay like $500.00 to watch that happen.

I'm aware that I'm showing my nerdy side on several different levels here, but I feel comfortable that the plimates accept me for who I am :).
1. There's a concept like this in the book "Old Man's War" by John Scalzi. It's a science fictiony book.

2. I believe that it's not called "Centrifugal force" it's "Centripetal force..." At least that's what my physics professors have told me.

screw elevators.. teleporting would be so much easier and faster

You fixed the Wobble Problem?
