English: This image and the concepts that it represents are original to this submission (i.e., are original editor research), as the plot as shown does not appear in the following Aravind citation. The plot presents this editor's perception of a thickness profile of a space elevator cable with constant stress, based on their interpretation of equations appearing in Aravind, http://users.wpi.edu/~paravind/Publications/PKASpace%20Elevators.pdf. In this editor's representation, the relative thickness of the cable relative to the earth is not to scale.
