OK, I wanted to spitball and idea here because maybe some people would know what I am asking.
I was inspired by the space elevator and imagined the true sky scraper, a tower that actually goes into space. To build it, there would have to be an existing space elevator to extend into space, and then build the Mega Tower from space down and ground up. You would have to build from space because the weight of the building would be too much to have structures for. But, anyways, the centripetal force of the top of the building would not only provide a kick ass view of the Earth in your ceiling windows, but also take the weight of the building from the ground.
Yes, the cost would be astronomical (no pun intended), but could a building like this exist, where the top of the tower works to pull the bottom up?
