  1. +Subparanon Yes, the bottom parts still experience the upwards pull until the molecules right next to them also begin to fall. The same is really true for any object. When hold a hammer by the head and let it go, the head falls first and then the handle, but it's so close in time that we cannot notice it. Springs make the phenomenon visible.

  2. I think the graphs with the center of mass are somewhat good for the understanding, however the talk of "information" likely isn't. I'd also point out that really any object acts the same when we hold it at the top and then let go. The effect is just not visible.
