how would earth 'topple'? it is not an egg spinning on a plate. it is a ball floating in space, where there is no up or down. where would it topple to?
there is a continuous strong force exerted on earth by the sun, yet earth doesn't 'topple' towards it. the amount of energy required to create a force to turn earth upside down is inconceivably large, IMO.
